What Screams "Titletown!" To You? Hopefully, It's Movie Villains

Sportcenter's case for Ann Arbor as Titletown, USA: (summarized, because I don't have DVR, but it's close)

Tom Brady went to school here! So did James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader! And former president Gerald Ford once played football here!

Here's the totally unobvious punchline.

And don't give me any crap about how Darth Vader "wasn't really a villain" or something. I didn't want to make the title any longer.

Certainly you wouldn't want to mention the actually titles Michigan has won....

Let's mention 3 guys who haven't won a single title in the state of Michigan.... (unless the Pats won that Detroit Super Bowl? I don't think they did).

Also: This Titletown shit is somehow gayer than Who's Now.

I don't think any team that loses at home while ranked #5 in the country to a Division 1-AA school should ever be considered Titletown material. Though, I think a pile of dog shit in a certain town could be Titletown material.

I think the only thing gayer than Who's Now and Titletown is if they managed to combine them together and ask which Titletown is more Now. The winner...Boston!

Speaking of Gerald Ford, everyone should watch #48 on this list....

Um, remember Darth Vader was a galactic champion pod racer as a five year old, so you know, Ann Arbor wins hands down.

Darth Vader's kids almost porked each other, so Ann Arbor should lose. Nobody likes incest...?

chris w - I stopped watching sportscenter all together because of who's now, then somebody told me about titletown, and you are very very right.
