POP CULTURE -- SEC girl disses the Big 10

Playboy magazine will have one of its famous "Girls of...." issues next month when it again features the 'Girls of the Big Ten."

Except, the cover girl, and that month's Playmate, is a current student at the University of Florida, Kelly Carrington.

In a newspaper article, Carrington was asked if it was funny -- the writer probably didn't use the word 'ironic' because it probably would have been over her head -- that a girl from the SEC was on the cover of the issue featuring girls from the Big Ten.

"There weren’t any girls from the Big Ten who were hot enough to be on the cover, so they had to pull someone from the SEC,” Carrington said.

That's right sweetie, you go ahead and think that. Not only are girls of the Big Ten equally gorgeous -- ever take a stroll on Michigan State's campus? -- but in six or seven years, when you're finishing your shift at the Waffle House, one of your counterparts from the Big Ten will be splitting an atom or re-designing the new space shuttle.
