WVU FAN WANTS QB’S BABY; ERIN ANDREWS A BLOG ICON: SI’s ON CAMPUS features a photo of West Virginia fans finding a unique foray for family planning:

Watch what signs you hold up, missy. Erin Andrews is known to be the jealous type.

Speaking of the effervescent ESPN sideline reporter, the TUCSON CITIZEN writes about how Andrews is such a popular figure on the Internet:

Also revealed - the sky is blue, birds go ‘tweet’, and Lee Corso is nuts.

Erin will be in Tucson Thursday night, to help cover the Arizona-Oregon tilt. And she has one request for the UA students in the stadium: “Don’t leave at halftime.”

As DEADSPIN observes, “A picture of Erin Andrews, and/or a story about her, is a recipe for page view goodness.”

Looks like the CITIZEN met its click quota for the day.

Not that we would stoop to such lazy tactics.

Unimaginable.

LOUISVILLE LB LAUNCHES LOOGIE AT WVA. QB PAT WHITE: THE WIZARD OF ODDS does a spit take, as it looks like a Louisville player launched a loogie at Pat White:

The WIZ notes that during West Virginia’s 38-31 triumph over the Cardinals Thursday night, ESPN cameras caught Louisville linebacker Preston Smith jawing with the Mountaineers QB after a play:

By watching the far right of the screen in the video above, it appears that Smith (in white) tilts his head back then quickly moves it forward at White (in gold). The QB the immediately tries to get the attention of the referee.Brian Bennett of the LOUISVILLE COURIER-JOURNAL was told by White that he was indeed spit upon by Smith, calling the mouthy move by the LB “very ignorant“.

However, the Cardinals deny that any fluid flew from their player’s mask, calling the QB’s claims “total fiction“.

But we can all agree that White preferred his previously broadcasted contact with saliva, courtesy of Erin Andrews.
