I agree with your first sentence.I really don’t care as long as he picks us to win. Has a guest picker ever picked against the home team on GameDay? Too bad it’s not someone with even a slight connection to ISU.
What I don't understand is the fixation with people being adamant the picker had to have some tie to ISU.
Katy Perry was the guest picker of an Alabama at Ole Miss game. She has no ties to either of those schools. Eric Church is no Katy Perry, obviously, but he's a bigger name than Dan McCarney or Seneca Wallace.
