You Stay Classy Penn State
Check out some of the signs in the crowd....
Whats wrong with people? I dont think you would ever have to worry about seeing something like this in Ann Arbor.
I caught this here if anyone wants to read the original story.

Especially when you attack a girl like that...their should be a code of conduct with signage....leave girls out of it (e.g. reporters, moms, girlfriends, etc)

Don't female reporters themselves fight against the very ideas put forward in your post, Dawn? "Girls" can handle themselves, a fact that I've been made aware of from the time my mom first laid the smack down on me until the most recent time a female co-worker put me in my place (about 5 hours ago.) And I'm quite sure Andrews is a woman, not a girl.
"Leave the girls out of it" reminds me of the OSU coach going nuts a few years ago against that reporter.
Agreed that their should be limits for signs--I can't believe ESPN doesn't screen them. But how can anyone be surprised at vulgar signs? ESPN milks all the other "atmosphere" of college football, how could it escape the drunkeness and juvenile behavior that often goes along with football Saturdays and college campuses in general? (that's not always a negative, mind you!)

What exactly are you arguing here?!
I made two point:
1.) I am happy we haven’t seen this in Ann Arbor.
2.) As fans there should be a line as to what can be mocked/made-fun-of, and I don’t think WOMAN should be a part of that. Especially when there is a group of 50 guys who have been drinking all day.....it just looks bad.
I never said woman can't defend themselves so I have no idea what you're talking about/referencing.
Vulgar signs don’t bother me....but when its talking about performing a sexual act on woman who has nothing to do with the actual game.....I have a big problem with that.

Even urbandictionary.com agrees, Pink Ponies are not vulgar.... yet.

Plus one for the awesome Arrested Development pic, bravo.

Thing is, I don't think she dresses like a skank. She's an attractive woman dressing not-uber-conservative. Sexually harassing her should be criminal.
That said, she is certainly an attractive lady.

my favorite was the sign that said "I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO WRITE"

I saw a research piece on the tube shortly after the story broke about how public restrooms, hotel rooms and locker rooms are being "set up" by voyeurs and scumbags looking for trashy videos. The piece even showed the alarm clock in a nicer hotel room can have a video camera in it.
I never said it was her fault.
For the record she wasn't just changing her clothes. She was strutting around the room and even "flexing" or posing in front of the mirror.
As far as her "showing off" with the clothes she wears, all you have to do is google her name and there are plenty of pics of her at games with "tight" clothes. I don't blame her for any of this, but her face and body got her the job, she's no sports genius.
Pam Ward??? I can't explain her "success"

First of all, most of the posts on this thread have restored my faith in the internet. Not all of them, but most.
Secondly, I have to dispute the idea that Erin Andrews dresses provocatively. She mostly wears sweaters and slacks - tailored, yeah; fitted, even. Now, I know most people on here don't regularly shop for women's clothing, but fashionable styles for women Andrews' age tend to be relatively fitted. If she were to shift to something a little bit looser, like this or this, she wouldn't look particularly stylish.
Also, the camera adds ten pounds, or so they say, and loose clothing isn't going to do anything to combat that.
One last thing re: Erin Andrews. The whole 'she uses her sexuality' thing to get ahead is kind of b.s. She's an attractive woman, and short of making a concerted effort to look less pretty, not much will keep people from noticing that. When you're looking for someone to fill an on-camera job, all other things being equal, you will probably go with the more attractive person, whether or not they promote themselves as such.

people who take the 'moral high ground' on the Erin Andrews issue and look to trap people in their words need to stop puffing their chests and relax.
it's just a sign, it had nothing to do with the Erin Andrews video that was released. Someone thought they were being funny, but they were being insensitive, and it happened to be on television. big deal.
furthermore, everyone thinks the video was extremely invasive. all people are trying to say is that being good looking has it's benefits so don't feel to bad for Ms. Andrews.

Aren't there enough people in the world who are just BEGGING to be mocked? Do we really need to mock people who have the audacity to:
- Have good genes, and
- Fix their hair while nekkid?
But going after Erin Andrews either through vulgar signs or internet postings...that's one of those moments that says more about you than about your intended target.
