The Greatest College Basketball Player....EVER!!!

Greg Oden has not played a college game in his career. The 7-foot Ohio State freshman has been sidelined the entire season due to hand surgery.

This minor detail has not stopped ESPN from touting him as the best freshman in the country, or from comparing him to Ralph Sampson, Sam Perkins, or any other great college center.

I swear, during last night's UNC vs. Ohio State game, Dick Vitale and the other ESPN stooges must have mentioned Greg Oden 783 times. The Tar Heels dominated the Buckeyes in the 2nd Half, Wayne Ellington, Tyler Hansbrough, and a host of other Heels played excellent games, and the #1 team in the country lost. However, according to the commentators, the ONLY story of the game was how incredible of a player Greg Oden is.

I'll reiterate: THIS GUY HAS NEVER PLAYED A COLLEGE GAME!!!!

The consensus among my game-watching crew was that ESPN is deliberately hyping Oden to cash in on his star potential. We're pretty sure that the producers of the game last night told the commentators to plug Greg Oden as frequently as possible. Holy crap that's annoying.
