Usually nothing that interesting happens at media days. Sometimes players like Kentucky's Dicky Lyons confess to having dreams about other quarterbacks in the league. A subpoena gets tossed here and there. And, you know, occasionally a top Heisman candidate like Pat White says West Virginia's baseball coach is a racist. Uh oh.

New football coach Bill Stewart said that White wasn't playing baseball because he couldn't hit the curve ball. White's rationale was a bit different. As reported by the Charleston Daily Mail:

"In my knowledge of West Virginia baseball, there's not been many players of my race on his team," White said. "He's not too high on it."

The he in question was WVU baseball coach Greg Van Zant. The state of West Virginia will now self destruct in... Oh, hell. Never mind. Within a few hours White will clarify his remarks and explain that by "players of my race" White meant "black quarterbacks on the football team." Maybe that line won't work so well either. Anyway, I hesitate to mention it, but once again this quote didn't come from Morgantown/Deadwood.

<![CDATA[Pat White Has A Special Friend]]> West Virginia quarterback Pat White would seem like the guy who has everything. NFL-ready talent — we guess — a spot on one of college football's best team and, you know, he's kind of handsome, if you're into that sort of thing. But the guy just wants more.

Yes, Pat White has made a new friend.

Patrick White's not one to kiss and tell. The West Virginia quarterback received what appeared to be a hug and a peck on the cheek from ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews a few seconds after a postgame interview Saturday at Puskar Stadium.

"That's between me and her," White said, a little shocked that someone caught the interlude, before breaking into a sly smile. A few seconds later, he volunteered, "I almost fainted when she came up to me."

Wait, is this Andrews' interviewing technique? Don't knock it: Jim Gray does the same thing, and don't get us started on Craig Sager.
