Because the football/basketball offseason is long, hot, and boring (and this year, WET), I'll post a stupid poll or two (or THREE!) every now and again (but probably not the same time every week like last year, unless I get more motivated).
I'd guess that almost everyone on here is at least somewhat familiar with high-profile K-State alum and Emmy winner (for Modern Family) Eric Stonestreet. I was surprised to hear from a friend that he very much disliked Stonestreet. The friend thinks that Stonestreet is corny, full of himself, and was just in the right place at the right time for his success on Modern Family. He wishes that K-State didn't seem to pander to Stonestreet so much.
I'm guessing that my friend's sentiments are not prevailing, but I thought I'd give Stonestreet the poll treatment.
Just about all my polls don't display results publicly, and this will be no exception.
