Oregon State Celebrates Its Upset With A Big Helping Of........ Erin Andrews?!

Unless you’ve been shunned from watching college football (or suffering a massive hangover), you probably have heard the big news:

Yes, that’s right, the big bad Pac-10 juggernaut known as USC has been beaten for the third time in a row by another lowly Pac-10 team. Two years ago it was Oregon State, one year ago it was Stanford, and this year it was Oregon State, AGAIN. Pete Carroll must be jutting his Jay Leno chin to oblivion.

Oregon State has continued its legacy as a giant killer. Last year, as you may recall, the Beavers beat #2 ranked Cal in a game that Cal fans will remember as “that game when our dipshit QB forgot to throw the ball away.” Totally not my own words to describe it, but I’ll take it. If you count in the fact that earlier that day #1 LSU had lost to Kentucky, and Cal moved up to #1 in those few hours in between LSU’s loss and Cal’s, then that means this is the second year in a row Oregon State has beaten a #1 team.

Now, like any good blogger (nerd), I did the thing most of us do after a thrilling game, I went on the web. Usually I would go to ESPN.com, but instead I needed to check my fantasy teams, so I headed over to Yahoo Sports to kill two birds with one stone. Naturally, the main headline was about USC’s loss, but the accompanying front page photo was a bit, ummm peculiar?

I can already hear Mike Nadal screaming “ANDREWSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Even a good old field storming is not immune from the entity known as EA. What’s funnier is that the sign is the only thing that stands out in the whole photo. You just see a big wave of orange and the We Heart Erin Andrews Sign.

Then I went to ESPN to get the story from them, and wouldn’t you know:

Though it’s partially cut off, it’s pretty obvious this sign is the same one from the above photo. Two major websites, one sign, millions of fans who got the hots for Ms. Andrews. Oh what a small world it is.

The headline is also pretty funny. Erin Andrews, Beaver, and Trojans all in one story. Insert your sex joke here.

I know the internet LOVES Erin Andrews, but couldn’t Yahoo Sports or ESPN have picked another photo for its front page? I already have practically every sports blog out there to get my fill of EA’s hotness, so is this really necessary? On second thought, yes, yes it is.

UPDATE: About five minutes later, Yahoo changed it’s front page to this:

Lame.
