We've finally reached the end of this ridiculous countdown. We would like to point out that if this list was run at the end of the 2008 season, it's clear that the #1 spot would be held by our boy Chaz Cervino. We're just keeping the top spot warm for you Chaz.

Checking in at the #1 spot on the Top 20 Orangemen of the HumpIdiot Era, with 98 HumpIdiot points (including the first-place votes of Boss, Champ, and the Russianator) is QB Donovan McNabb ('95-'98).

The SportHump, "Made someone drop their jockstrap every game. Brought so much energy to the Dome."

The Russianator, "I'll take crap for this since I'm an Eagles fan, but simply put McNabb was the most exciting guy to lace them up for the Orange in the last 25 years. While he was never that accurate, what people don't realize is that if I'm going to have a QB who's a little inaccurate, I'd rather have one that bounces the ball into the turf rather than throwing it to the other team."

Boss, "Provided miracles and memorable Dome field swarmings for this idiot."

The Captain, "His stats speak for themselves, only thing keeping him from being (my) #1 is no ring...when you get drafted t oplay in the NFL a large part of your legacy is determined by rings."

Champ, "I remember that shaky freshmen getting his first start at North Carolina. Turned into the greatest QB on the hill. It's comical to think of this, but back in '99 Tim Couch was the 'can't miss' QB of that draft, and experts debated if McNabb or Akili Smith should be the next QB taken. Ten point performance vs. the Hoyas in '97 earns him more love in my book."

Great work by Donovan getting some camera time behind Jimmy B:
