ESPN's Picabo Street Wrong, Arkansas Beating Alabama - ESPN's Error

Picabo Street has been the top search on Google Trends for most of Saturday as she was the "guest picker" on ESPN's College Gameday Show from Boise. Street, the well-decorated former Olympic skier, picked Alabama to beat Arkansas in today's game.

So far, Picabo's wrong. 10th ranked Arkansas is beating Alabama 10 to 7 in the 2nd quarter and as of this writing is in scoring position again. ESPN's wrong too.

ESPN failed to capitalize on the Internet interest caused by the appearance of the sexy female athlete that is Picabo Street by having a webpage blog post at ESPN.com. The result? ESPN essentially gives other websites and blogs, including Zennie62.com, the chance to gain from what they put on television.

Thanks, ESPN!

An update: Alabama intercepted Arkansas in the end zone. Somewhere, Picabo Street is cheering.
