God I hate to have to write stories like this, and this one could be the worst announcer arrest in quite some time. We've had drunk driving, drug addiction and tax evasion, but possessing and receiving child porn is just about as low as you can go. University of Florida announcer Steven Michael Babik (left) has been picked up for just that, and here are your details. Via The Gainesville Sun....

Steven Michael Babik, host of the "TailGator Pre-game Show" and the "Urban Meyer Post-Game Show," was charged Tuesday in federal court with receipt and distribution of child pornography and possession of child pornography.

Babik also reported from the sidelines during game broadcasts and was the longtime network coordinator for University of Florida athletics.

Investigators said he was arrested as part of an ongoing global effort to find and prosecute those who share child pornography online.

Babik, 50, of 3501 N.W. 75th Terrace in Gainesville, has been fired from his UF job. He made his first court appearance at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the federal courthouse in Gainesville, where he pleaded not guilty to the charges.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Florida, Babik "knowingly received, distributed and possessed materials depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct" on several occasions from Nov. 2 to Nov. 30.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Chipper Jones will be the first guest on College Gameday for the 2009 Season. Jones will be live on set sometime around 11:30am this Saturday, and plans to wear Gators' colors....in Georgia....

Chipper Jones plans to appear as a guest on the set of ESPN’s “College GameDay” show Saturday morning at Centennial Olympic Park, where the show will air in advance of Saturday night’s Chick-fil-A Kickoff game between Virginia Tech and Alabama. Jones will join Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard to talk college football.

“Florida does have the No. 1 team in the country,” said Jones, who grew up a Gators fan in DeLand, Fla. “[ESPN] is in Atlanta the first week of the season, so it seems like a normal fit.”

Jones said he’ll probably show up in Gators colors.

“We’ll see,” he said. “I might get booed by a bunch of Georgia fans when I walk up. They’ve got me picking the Georgia game and the ’Bama game. Let’s just say one group of people is not going to be real happy and the other group is going to be pretty happy.”

There are a lot of gimmicks on blogs that just never pan out, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this one will. The website Mr.SEC has matched the fact that Erin Andrews drives page views, with the fact that there's no photo collections on the Internet, to give you every EA picture that you can think of in one place. To the tune of 750 images!

Over the past few months, we here at MrSEC.com noticed something: whenever we made any kind of mention of ESPN sideline hottie Erin Andrews, our pageviews went through the roof.

Being red-blooded American males, we started scanning the web for a full-blown Erin Andrews site. There wasn’t one… not of major size anyway.

Our conclusions:

1. Erin Andrews draws readers.
2. There was no massive Erin Andrews site on the web.

That may seem to lead to a simple decision, but there was a lot of internal debate.

“We can’t make an Erin Andrews shrine. This is a sports site.”

“Oh, yeah, well ESPN uses her and they’re all sports.”

“But this is about SEC sports.”

“Oh, yeah, well she went to Florida.”

The Heisman Trophy is awarded by the Downtown Athletic Club of New York tonight, and lately, you might as well call it the award that goes to the quarterback or running back who has the gaudiest stats on a team in the BCS bowl games, more often than not. Tim Tebow last year seems the exception to the rule based on his absolutely gaudy numbers. This year, it's Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford with the gaudy numbers, Tebow with good ones of his own, and Texas QB Colt McCoy who has great stats while having less talent around him to do it with.

I don't like this award at all, so if you ask me who I think will win, I'll say Bradford, even though he gets the stats because he runs all no-huddle (meaning more plays.) McCoy should win because he really is the Texas offensive engine, and the only reason Tebow is in the discussion with the other two this year is because he's in the BCS title game and everyone at ESPN and CBS have massive Tebowners. If he wins a second Heisman, it's more proof the award is a joke.

The problem is that this doesn't really tell you who the best or most valuable player is in college football. Michael Crabtree is on another planet, but since someone has to get the ball to him, it's tough -- he's probably the best player in the game. Defensive players don't get any shake on this unless they're Charles Woodson, who played both ways at Michigan (ask a Tennessee fan about that sometime), which means Rey Maualuga is SOL too.

Anyway, discuss it and enjoy the dragged-out ceremony.
