Who's A Sexier Woman: Natalie Gulbis or Lane Kiffin?

In the spirit of cliche tournaments held in March that just happen to have 64 participants but aren't about exploiting collegiate athletes, Esquire Magazine has their Sexiest Woman Alive tournament this month.

An unusual first round matchup has emerged out of the play-in game between Nick Jonas and Lane Kiffin in the Sports part of the draw.  The Tennessee backstabber USC coach won that game and now gets Natalie Gulbis - a #1 seed - in round one.

Don't let Kiffin win!  Vote now!  And if you're not convinced about Nat Gulbis' effusive personality, then read an interview that Devil Ball Golf conducted with her recently.

Wait a sec… why is it when I click the poll, there’s a photo of Gulbis next to a photo of some dude? I have no idea who Lane Kiffin is, but I’d at least like to see before I pass judgment, but if she looks like a guy in a suit, then Natalie definitely gets my vote. Aw, what the hell, she got it anyway.

Ryan, this is some sort of a

joke right? right?…when do we get the punch line?…STUB

Nahhh, I picked it up early this morning. It’s real, but it is a joke designed to draw hits on the part of Esquire.

OK, getting serious

for just a moment here…Ryan, why are you so worried about something that has no correlation to golf….So Kiffin left Tennessee…so what….happens all the time…It’s called opportunity and MONEY HONEY. It’s over with…get used to it….I think the boat was missed, when Gulbis wasn’t asked when the next time she was gonna pose in the buff…just my opinion mind you, but maybe Busbee had his significant other along…or his mother….Does anyone know how long she was in college? Did she graduate? What was her claim to fame while there?…Jeeeze…this sure got blown….STUB

thinker,

You must not understand the passion of college sports fans. Maybe if you lived in a town like I do — one that has three major universities in it that are in the same conference and where two of them regularly vie for national titles. The third has two national titles of its own, so even though it is a poor relation, it has had its moments too.

Point is, college sports fans have allegiance to their teams like no other sport. They take things personally. They are very, very protective of “their team.” They will turn on a dime on someone who they think has hurt or insulted their team. And they are merciless when it comes to ragging the other guy and his team.

In the case of Tennessee, their fans are not going to see it being called “opportunity and MONEY HONEY.” That’s probably because they have plenty of money, one of the largest three college stadiums in America (Neylan sits over 105,000 fans) that sells out EVERY game, and they have a nice little history that includes national titles of their own. Maybe you have heard of Peyton Manning, only the best QB in football right now. He happens to be a UT alumnus. Volunteer fans are loud, proud and loyal and they play in the best division in the best conference in the college game. And they have passion if not always the most objective logic.

All that said, this was a very deliberate move to poke Vol fans by the folks at Esquire. Their fanbase has been rattling this one around like a hail of machine gun fire ricocheting in a small canyon today. That in turn has generated national publicity for a niche magazine’s website and it has drawn hundreds of thousands of hits to their site.

They didn’t mean to put Layla Kiffin in their bracket, they meant to put Lane in all along and for Esquire, it has worked like a charm.

Layla Kiffin is on the left, obviously. :-)

in that case – YOU did a better job than they did – missing a chance to put Layla Kiffin’s picture out is always a mistake. :-)

I voted for Kiffin

Because Natalie has fake boobs, so I’m told.

I’d take silicone over moobies any day (or night) of the week, but that’s just me.

Court, are ya saying

Layla or Lane have the man boobs? and OMP…which one of these teams (all three that you mentioned really) played for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP for the last 2 years? What was that, I COULDN’T HEAR YOU…but I guess you don’t consider the HORNS FROM THE GREAT STATE OF USA TEXAS somewhere in that assessment now do you…lol…And what’s a quarter back….Joke for ya…A guy takes his GF to see her first professional football game….She seemed interested, so he waited until after the game to ask her what she thought….She said "I really liked the tight pants, and all, but I couldn’t understand why they were always yelling, “get the quarter back”…cmon guys, it’s only 25 cents…YUK,YUK,YUK….I still say they (so called other jocks) don’t have the brains or coordination to play golf…Never seem to read where a college golfer was arrested in a bar someplace fighting….now how about these other thick sculled dumb bells….STUB
