100. I-285.
99. Transporting cattle through Seguin, Texas.
98. Whip Inflation Now.
97. There she is -- a lot of her -- Vanessa Williams.
96. Naming Ron Zook head coach at Florida.
95. Faking your son's death to get out of work.
94. Doing road work on the Atlanta Downtown Connector on Opening Night.
93. The College of Coaches.
92. Televising William Hung.
91. The Montreal Expos.
90. Dean's Iowa "concession speech."
89. Connie Chung Tonight.
88. Gigli.
87. Powder blue uniforms.

86. Maurice Clarett. Jim Tressel thought his star player could keep his composure, especially when they were funneling large automobiles his way. Wrong. Clarett proved to be one of the most tempestuous, difficult-to-understand college athletes in a looong time. (This was, of course, before an FSU quarterback got lyme disease and claimed to be God.) The Denver Broncos were gullible enough to draft Clarett, but that idea went bust.
85. Sonic's advertising campaign. It's funny to have someone slightly stupid in a commercial. It's annoying to have two morons in a commercial. It's infuriating to have people whose brains obviously do not function at all babbling some incomprehensible nonsense that is supposed to be amusing but is instead a portrait of how NOT to do a TV ad.
