Bruce Pearl mans-up on Erin Andrews — Guyism » celebs

Hey Bruce Pearl, Get Your Hands Off My Erin Andrews — FanIQ Blog
How many showers do you think Erin Andrews has taken since the end of this game? 4? 5?
As greasy and slimy as he may be, you have to give Bruce Pearl some credit for taking advantage of the situation and a hands on answer to how Memphis was containing Chris Lofton.
Chances are though, he'll be getting a letter from the WWL asking to stop with the hand checking.
