After Erin Andrews completed her third place finish on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” I posed the question where will she land next? And on June 15th, 2010 I wrote right here in this spot “Erin Andrews should replace Brooke Burke as host of DWTS.” It looks like ABC/Disney is listening to me because today that exact move was announced.
Fox Sports personality Erin Andrews has multiple endorsements. But have you seen her recent spot for Degree anti-perspirant? You can see the media maven in action here.

You have seen the last of Erin Andrews at ESPN, and she is now officially headed to Fox Sports instead. She officially became done with the WWL Friday as they let it be known today via tweet from their PR department. As you would expect for anything involving “Erin Pageviews” that tweeted was RTd thousands of times.
And now Fox Sports itself has let the new home of EA be known.
“Opportunities to add someone of Erin Andrews’ caliber don’t come along often and we’re thrilled to welcome her back to the FOX Sports family,” said Eric Shanks, executive producer, co-president and COO, FOX Sports Media Group. “Erin is one of the hardest-working, most-respected individuals in sports television and we expect her to have an immediate impact. In addition to having her anchor our new college football show and studio coverage, we expect her to be a big contributor to our MLB and NFL coverage as well as other major events.”

I’ve been saying this for about a year or so. And it looks like it will soon become true: Jenn Brown is the next Erin Andrews. It will be made official once Brown takes over EA spots on College Gameday. That’s the word we’re hearing now. She’ll take the spot on the college football pregame show and the telecasts opposite Kirk Herbstreit and Brent Musburger. The ESPN sideline princess baton will be passed from one 34 year old former Florida Gator to a 31 year old former Florida Gator. Jennifer “Jenn” Lynne Brown, is likely heading over to the scorers table and signing in.
Especially now that Erin Andrews has left ESPN and his likely headed to Fox Sports

Now that Michelle Beadle is leaving ESPN, and Charissa Thompson is replacing her as the host of “SportsNation,” the question is…who replaces Charissa at “Numbers Don’t Lie?” I’m sure both the people who watch that show are very interested to find out.
No seriously, the real question is what will become of Erin Andrews? Her star power isn’t what it once was, so is she gonna stay at ESPN when her contract expires? Check out this tweet exchange between EA and Hot Clicks proprietor Jimmy Traina from a couple hours ago:

Well, actually they’re called trading cards, bubble gum cards, sports cards. But we just call ’em baseball cards. Because baseball does it best and did it first. And Topps is the main brand. Just like Erin Andrews is the main sideline reporter. And she’s getting a Topps trading card in the Allen & Ginter’s World Champions set. As is supermodel Kate Upton

Apparently, there’s a new heiress to the supposed “Sideline Princess” throne. Watch tonight with the Thursday night college football game of the week.
ESPN’s Jenn 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 Media Princess Erin Andrews.

Feel old? You will now: Britney Spears turned 30 yesterday. (Popwatch) I remember back in junior year of college when she burst onto the scene as Little Ms. Jailbait. And some dude in the school paper wrote an op-ed saying something to the extent of “Spears is making Lolita Complexes fashionable right now, but chill out. By the time she’s 25, she’ll be a really fat, divorced single mom.” (It wasn’t me- I swear!)
Damn, he nailed that one. The only part he didn’t prophesize was her second divorce and comeback/weight loss.
-The Erin Andrews peephole video saga is very far from over

Fans of the Florida Gators will understand this piece.
Actually non college football fans will probably understand it even.
It feels like we publish this column every season. Last year, we did the “Did Ron Zook’s play-calling cost Illinois a win?” story after the Illini had a chance to upset then #2 Ohio State at home in the Big Ten conference opener. Go here to brush up on that.
And then there’s the 2006 loss to the Indiana Hoosiers, in which Zook inexplicably went for 2-pt conversions not once, but twice (both attempts failed) with the game tied early in the second quarter of what ended up being a 1-pt loss. The Zooker told the media afterward that the decisions didn’t matter.
Even though it was a ONE point loss (32-31), but yeah…
..the Zook terrible decision making season got started earlier in 2011. This time it happened in the pre-conference, and the questionable play-calls didn’t actually cost them a victory, as the Illini held on to beat Western Michigan 23-20.
