    She's really got the forearms-up-so-you-can't-actually-touch-me dance moves down.

    But Digger's beckoning finger is going to give me nightmares...

Digger Phelps is a Dancing Machine
The Big Lead — Not bad, Mr. Phelps. Very comical. Can anyone find out who the cheerleader is?

Forget The Presidency, Digger Phelps Needs To Be On Dancing With The Stars
AwfulAnnouncing — This video seems a bit too long at first but you have to stick around until the end when Digger throws the "come hither" finger motion at this KU cheerleader.... Not bad at all Digger. Was that the Lindy Hop or the Charleston? Digger Phelps is a Dancing Machine (The Big Lead)

Digger Phelps Is Ready for the Big Dance
FanHouse — Filed under: Kansas Basketball, NCAA Basketball Video From The Big Lead comes this video of ESPN announcer Digger Phelps breaking it down with a Kansas cheerleader. Although I'm sure we're all in agreement that Erin Andrews is the announcer we'd most like to see boogieing to Bon Jovi, Digger's not bad. He's like the old guy who becomes the talk of the wedding because of the moves he busted out during a twirl with a bridesmaid. Sadly, he hasn't become the talk of the KU Cheerleading blog which settles for a still photo with the whole Gameday crew. And, ...

That HGH Therapy Has Dig Feeling Like A New Man
SPORTSbyBROOKS — We’ve heard folks (on and off-air) calling ESPN’s Digger Phelps a crotchety, old foggie in recent days after his supposed blow up on-set about the reax of IU players to Kelvin Sampson getting the sack. We didn’t think what he did or said was all that bad. More importantly, thanks to a video of Phelps and a KU cheerleader at last Saturday’s Jayhawks-Kansas State game from THE BIG LEAD , we now have clear evidence that Phelps still has a goodly amount of testosterone coarsing through his plaque-ravaged veins (HGH spray therapy?). Either that or it’s the pregame minis of Cutty.

Digger Phelps … sigh
The Postmen // A Sports Blog // Chicago, IL. — It is the long-held opinion of this writer that Digger Phelps, though he knows his schtick and plays it up well, is still an insufferable douche. After all, this is a man whose main contributions to the college basketball discourse are blind loyalty to Bob Knight and a matching tie and highlighter schema. And that’s it. So where others would look on the above video innocuously, I am filled with rage. Sweet, sweet innocence, spoiled by the man who invented the Tielighter. Sad, really. In other college basketball news this weekend, Michigan State decided that making shots is ...

Dirty Digger
Mac Gs World — I severely miscalculated the mesmerizing powers of Digger Phelps' highlighter/tie combo. This Jayhawk cheerpooner obviously fell victim to its clever color coordination hypnosis. HT: Awful Announcing/ The Big Lead

My Love For Digger Phelps Grows Stronger
The Sporting Blog — Dancing with the KU cheerleaders > Dancing With the Stars: There are so many great moves from Digger here, but I'd have to say my favorite is the "come here" thing he does with his fingers at the 22-second mark. Creepy? Maybe. But when you're a 66 year-old man, just about anything you do with an 18 year-old girl is gonna come off that way. Also, for the girl, the 80's called, they want their dance moves ...

Digger? I hardly know her!
The Dagger — That's ESPN's Digger Phelps making nice with a lucky Jayhawk cheerleader. It's certainly more swiveling hip action that I ever needed to see from Digger Phelps, but for a 66-year-old man, that's not too bad. You'll see worse at almost any predominately-white wedding reception. As for the young lady, I certainly hope she had the self-esteem to not let things go any farther than a little pregame dancing. • Forget The Presidency, Digger Phelps Needs To Be On Dancing With The Stars / Awful Announcing

Digger Phelps can dance??
Hail Mary Jane — At College Gameday on Saturday, good ol’ Digger showed off some of his dance moves in Phog Allen Fieldhouse, I just want to know who the Crimson Girl was. ’ Thanks to the Big Lead for puttin me up on this one. Tags: digger phelps, phog allen fieldhouse, dance moves

So, Digger Phelps Thinks He Can Dance
MVN Outsider — After seeing this video of Digger Phelps dancing with a Kansas cheerleader, the ESPN basketball analyst can officially be classified as a “creepy old man” in my book: When a 66-year-old dude dances with a scantily clad teenage cheerleader, there is a very fine line between “funny” and “disturbing.” And call me crazy, but Digger’s “come here” motion with his hands gave me the creeps. The part of the video that had me laughing was the obvious discomfort the unfortunate cheerleader was feeling…it was funny to see how she kept trying to avoid contact with ...

Today's Moment of Zen: Digger Phelps Dance Party
Outside the Boxscore — In today's edition of the moment of Zen, ESPN college basketball analyst Digger Phelps was recently captured on a Youtube video strutting his stuff with California cheerleaders. However most of us are treating this like it is the first time that it has happened. That is so wrong, there are many instances and here are the rest: Digger dancing at Wisconsin: Digger dancing at Notre Dame: and Digger dancing at ...

The Adventures of Jay and Digger: College Basketball’s Odd Couple
Midwest Sports Fans — I have been watching Digger Phelps and Jay Bilas provide commentary on college basketball for as long as I can remember. And the differences between the two have always been pretty obvious: Jay Bilas comes across as intelligent, thoughtful, and cogent; Digger Phelps comes across as (searching for a way to say this nicely…) not those things. Jay Bilas comes across as arrogant, with every word he speaks appearing to be the result of careful deliberation between his ego and pride; Digger Phelps is cool and laid back, the kind of guy you’d want to actually watch a game with, and he appears to just say ...

Erin Andrews (and Digger Phelps) at California - UCLA
Erin Andrews Tracker — EA covered the Cal - UCLA game on Saturday night.  Besides getting some lip from Mike Montgomery at halftime, it looked to be a pretty uneventful evening for Erin.  Digger Phelps on the other hand?  Umm, words can’t do it justice. Just watch the video, if only for a couple seconds… Turns out, Digger hitting the dance floor is a somewhat regular occurance…yikes.

Digger Phelps loves dancing with Cheerleaders, video
NESW Sports, Sports Videos — Digger Phelps loves dancing with Cheerleaders, video. ESPN’s Digger Phelps is blowing up the internets with his seemingly harmless dance videos with playful college cheerleaders. These vids are EVERYWHERE. I say more power to him. He is trying to let loose a little. Hat tips to Outside the box score, and Bruin Nation.

MYSM: Is This Phelps Also On That Stuff?
Pleats 'n Cleats — ESPN's Digger Phelps sure knows how to . . . move. I can't really call this dancing or cutting a rug, it's more like a performance . . . of some sort. Hey, at least he knows how to have a good time! This is not his first time . . .

Dick Vitale Dances To My Girl While Talking About Final Four In Detroit
FanIQ Blog — Whether or not you love or hate Dick Vitale, the man definitely is loyal to Detroit. After all, he did coach the University of Detroit for several seasons, and he coached the Pistons too. But I'd have think that after all Detroit has been through, the last thing the city needed was ...
