Erin Andrews Acolytes have Started Worshipping Jenn Brown
By Paul M. Banks
Apparently, there’s a new heiress to the “Sideline Princess” throne. According to very unscientific reports within the sports and celebrity gossip blogosphere, all the sports nerds worshipping Erin Andrews became infatuated with ESPN’s Jenn Brown over the weekend. Brown had a 3 minute “College Gameday” interview with Texas QB Colt McCoy, previewing the big Red River Rivalry in which Texas defeated Oklahoma 16-13. This got people focusing on her instead of the bizarre McCoy-Sam Bradford bromance.
Brown is a former bikini model (which obviously gave her more journalistic credentials than even Medill graduates) and gymnast (again making her clearly more qualified in news reporting than the thousands of experienced j-school grads dying for her job). She also attended the same school (University of Florida) as the reigning Sideline Princess Erin Andrews. Jenn’s appearance inspired a huge buzz on Twitter, the search engines, pretty much anything social media this past weekend. 
It also inspired a ton of new posts on the web which all ask the same exact question “Is Jenn Brown the Next Erin Andrews?” Seriously, it’s humorously amazing how all of the headlines on multiple sites ended up with pretty much the exact same headline…but hey, at least the media is obsessing over a Univ. or Florida personality that is NOT Tim Tebow for once.
-Hollywood Gossip.com approaches the topic by holding a poll asking “who would you rather…” And let’s the reader fill in the blank. I voted, assuming they wanted my input as to which of the two I’d rather discuss Hegelian metaphysics with.
-Busted Coverage.com (yes, you gotta love a domain name like that) articulated the story arc of Brown’s career
“Jenn Brown went from being some chick who worked for Inside The NFL, to a chick who worked for ESPNU, to “that chick who just had a feature on Colt McCoy while playing billiards…And then our hit counter went nuts with Jenn Brown search results.”
-Tech Banyan explains her collegiate professional roots
“Jenn Brown said her career in sports casting was an accident. She was a criminology student in Florida and intended to go to law school. Then a friend asked her if she could fill in and be a model on “Bikini Destinations,” an HDNet show. After that Brown was offered a host spot on the show, then she hosted HDNet’s “The Wild Side.”
-Thaindian News informs us that Brown is accomplished in track and field and was captain of her collegiate softball team
-A blog dedicated to TV Anchor Babes turned our attention to the fact that ESPN brought out its hottie triplets on Saturday: Andrews, Brown and Wendi Nix

Jenn’s profile of McCoy shown on Sportscenter was less revealing about Colt than it was a window in to a world that has Jenn in it. Welcome to the scene Jenn, I don’t even remember what Colt said. Not. One. Word.
HA HA…he’s not the best interview subject. Kind of has all the trite and rehearsed answers all down pat.
