THE MECK REPORT --- THE MECK PODCAST: Rick Reilly: Beware the Hilltoppers - ESPN - Western Kentucky is a tremendous team full of stud athletes, many of whom will either be in the NFL next year or in the MIT nuclear science program, or both. - Sure, Alabama has more than 30 players in the NFL right now and Western Kentucky has one, but that's probably because most NFL scouts don't know where the Hilltoppers' dynasty resides (near Russellville, I think). Alabama has never played there. - And, yes, Alabama is coming off a so-called "national championship" and has 13 so-called "returning starters," but with the state of American media being what it is, I bet they don't have any hunger left at all! And don't forget Western Kentucky has won eight of its last nine, none against BCS teams but many against schools that have yet to drop football. - This one is like Lady Gaga: It could go either way.
