THE MOST AMAZING YEAR OF COLLEGE ANYONE HAS EVER HAD IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
That's what Matt Leinart is shooting for as a famous, handsome, six-foot-five, national championship-leading, Heisman Trophy-winning, soon-to-be millions-making fifth-year senior in Tinsel Town, says FOX Sports' Peter Schrager:

"While most of your friends are slugging it out at 9-to-5 entry-level jobs, you're still at college, having the time of your life. As they fill out Excel spreadsheets, type up memos, and figure out the optimal time to sneak onto AOL Instant Messenger, you're entertaining guests, courting freshmen girls, and debating between Dominos and Papa John's. Life's good when you are a fifth-year senior.
Now, toss in the fact that you are a Heisman Trophy winner, a good looking dude, and one of the most successful college athletes of all-time — that's pretty much the best situation any American male has ever had while pursuing a secondary education.

Yep, that's what Matt Leinart has going for him this year. In simple terms, he's about to embark upon the most amazing year of college that anyone — state-side or abroad — has ever had in the history of the world. Lucky guy."
Yes, but will he make an appearance on the prestigious SMQ All-America Team, to be released later today? Or will a jealous SMQ exact his puny and futile rebuke? Stay tuned!

- Burnt Orange Nation

SMQ starts to sound more and more like the Gregg Easterbrook of our ideal memories every day - whip-smart, systematic, omnivorous in his intellectual tastes and yet unafraid of the cheap joke.
- Every Day Should Be Saturday

Sunday Morning Quarterback is one of our favorite football blogs on the internet.

Just another hack writer who hasn't done one lick of research... - SOT2

...the pride of Southern Mississippi ever since Brett Favre turned into an ESPN soap opera, has the sort of prose knack that can keep you riveted to a preview about any one of D-IA's scrubbier members ... should be given gifts.
