A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend gains thousands of fans, including Brent Musburger and Aaron Murray

Update: Statement from Mike Soltys, ESPN vice president of communications:

Have been asked on focus on @_KatherineWebb in BCS: We always try to capture interesting storylines and the relationship between an Auburn grad who is Miss Alabama and the current Alabama quarterback certainly met that test. However, we apologize that the commentary in this instance went too far and Brent understands that.

We have this BCS bingo thing going. One of the items was to be marked off once Brent Musburger said something creepy about a woman in the stands. It was marked off with vigor once ESPN’s cameras showed A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend Katherine Webb in the stands, as ol’ Brent went on and on and on for quite a while.

The man in the booth and the quarterback of the SEC East champs were not the only ones to get all bizarre about it. Followers!
