Sometimes what's in front of the classroom blackboard is more important than what's on it. Oh yes, we've all had a crush on a professor, and finally there's a legitimate way to express your feelings: Lemondrop's Hottest Professors Contest.

We're searching coast-to-coast for the hottest professors -- and we want you to help us find the very best. (Note: They should be better-looking than this guy.)

Leave a nomination in the comments or e-mail suggestions (and pictures!) to lorenlankford@lemondrop.com. We want to know who the hottie is and exactly what it is that makes his classes worth the wait list. Don't worry -- it'll all be anonymous when we announce the finalists, so you don't have to worry about any awkward glances during next week's lecture.

We need your submissions and suggestions by April 1st. Now get back to hitting those books.
