The Big East’s Top Five Teams of the 2000s, Five Greatest Games of the 2000s and Five Most Major Off-Field Moments of the 2000s are all up. What’s left but the players who made the league.
I won’t lie: this one was the hardest: Antonio Bryant or Andre Johnson or Mardy Gilyard? Sean Taylor or Adam “Pacman” Jones? Michael Vick, who had just two years in the decade, or Pat White, the first quarterback ever to win four bowl games? There were very few no-brainers on this one. So please, feel free to argue.
