David Hasselhoff Picked to Sing National Anthem at Las Vegas Bowl

You know what makes going to your school's first bowl game since 1998 more enjoyable? Hearing that David Hasselhoff will be performing the national anthem.



Could he eat a hamburger too?!

Hasselhoff, who has a daughter that attends Arizona, has been picked to sing the national anthem because, in all seriousness, he "is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most watched television star in the world."

I just wanted to point out that the school I attended in Tucson isn't exactly the Harvard of the west. People like dinner with a side of partying, and lots of it. The football team has stunk for years but students still attend the games, even if it's just the first half. And now, the Wildcats finish with a winning season, a respectable 7-5, and the first bowl they send us to in years is in Las Vegas?!? Really?

Now, we find out that not only will most of our Wildcat buddies be enjoying their time in Las Vegas, but we get to hear the 'Hoff belt out the lyrics before the kick? Thank you Jesus, you just made 2008 a touch better.

After the jump is a video of Hasselhoff singing, in case you needed to get your eardrums ready for the party. David, if you join us at Tao after the game, I promise to buy you at least one drink. Cross my heart.

(Also, I will be at the game, so pending any huge problems with my camera, I will be videotaping his performance. Should be memorable.)
