OT: ESPN - "Which famous fans follow the top 25 teams?"

Submitted by East German Judge on

Another sign that we are in the dog days of college football is ESPN doing a puff piece about who are the most famous fans of the top 25 College Football teams.  Some predictable ones:

#3 - Michigan - Spike's and my favorite - Kate Upton

#9 - THEE ohio - LeBron James - main reason I wanted GS to win

#13 - Ole Miss - Katy Perry - One helluva (Fun) Bag Person

#15 - staee - Magic Johnson

#22 - UCLA - Jaleel "Urkel" White

 

How do you think they missed???  Complete list at this LINK

"The Wolverines can count several famous people as fans, including Madonna, Russell Crowe, Michael Phelps and, of course, former player Tom Brady. But you'd be hard-pressed to find a bigger name than that of supermodel Kate Upton. The Michigan native has been seen wearing the maize and blue for years."

 


Aren't all of those names in reality bigger names than Kate Upton? Kate Update is a bigger name than Madonna?

You kind of have to adjust to graduates/former attendees of the school.  Madonna, Phelps, and Brady all received at least some schooling here.  If you're going for celebs who have a genuine interest in the school outside of having attended, Upton is the flashy pick for sure.

I would've thought they'd list Pop Evil for us. Either way, this list might be slightly more interesting if they would have come up with names of people who didn't have a direct connection to said school. Magic Johnson is an MSU fan? Really? I would never have guessed.

Doesn't Patrick Stewart love us? I have fond memories of him conducting the Michigan Marching Band. If he's a player and goes around conducting other marching bands, I don't want to know.

but the things I'd do to Katy Perry are unspeakable on this board. Her music is atrocious and her persona seems beyond annoying. However, she's just about my exact type physically and is supposedly a genuinely cool person "in real life". A website asks every celebrity interviewee to name friends readers/viewers would be shocked to know they are friends with and every non-douche celebrity seems to name her. So......yay?! I'm just saying I'd tear her to pieces for a full 7 seconds. Those 7 seconds (let's be real, 2 seconds) would be vicious and she'd surely never recover (haha).
