Erin Burnett: "One of the fiercest rivalries in college sports, and let us tell you, we are not fair and balanced on this story."

"The Williams college mascot is a purple cow.[23] The mascot's name, Ephelia, was submitted in a radio contest in October 1952 by Theodore W. Friend, a senior at Williams.[24] The origins of the cow mascot are unknown, but one possibility is that it was inspired by the Purple Cow humor magazine, a student publication begun in 1907, which used the college color along with a cow."

They just flashed a pick of Burnett in college. Looked like a purple cow, she's no longer that hot

What are they smoking at ESPN to put either of your football teams on college gameday? Maybe rugby...

Tell me you saw that picture of Erin Burnett in college. If she looked like that back then I don't know who would slay her

amherst:
1) Higher mean SATs! Higher mean SATs!
2) near other colleges and civilization and thus gets out once in a while (those poor Williams kids who commit sad, continuous incest for four years)
3) does not have George Steinbrenner as an alum.

Whatever, Middlebury's going to win the NESCAC this year anyway.

I am an alumnus of [insert other irrelevant northeast liberal arts college here] and I think MY school is the best because of [stuff nobody cares about]

Posted by guy who hates random commenter for no reason, Nov 09, 2007 4:08PM

Oh yeah well I went to [insert ivy league school here] and so I think I am better than you because all ivy's are just the best except for brown, which I make fun of

Makeup, a stylist, and Manhattan induced anorexia do wonders. Erin definitely was not looking great on the field hockey team, though maybe that was a post-game picture or something. If that was a reasonably representative photo of her back in the day, it's very unfortunate. Not a fan of girls who are only hot with their makeup on. You're going to have to spend more time with them when they're out of makeup, so they better be hot just getting out of bed.

i believe it was gawker or jezebel who had a great post (with like 300 comments) about which is the gayest/worst/etc liberal arts school...if i weren't so lazy/disturbed by the sheer thought of liberal arts schools i'd probably go find the link, but anyway good luck searching

Posted by , Nov 09, 2007 4:32PM

Woah. What the hell?

Posted by John Carney, Nov 09, 2007 5:40PM

Be nice, kids. Remember you might not look like your totally awesome 2007 selves if we were posting your college sports photos either.

Posted by anon, Nov 09, 2007 7:54PM

Yeah, ease up, beat-skees. Erin is gorgeous.

Posted by Anal_yst, Nov 09, 2007 8:42PM

I wish you'd post my college/highschool sports pics, when i was about 20lbs in better shape, damn seamlessweb, damn you to hell!

Posted by ugo_chavz, Nov 09, 2007 9:14PM

seamless web, ha! erin looked like a man back in the day, getting rid of the dike hair-don't did wonders. now where's the pic of bess? we want bess, we want bess!

Posted by ben bernakiii, Nov 09, 2007 9:54PM

john Carney I suggest please place articles about EB every Friday for a change.I'm sick and tired of hearing and reading about companies with incompetent people (like CEOs), falling dollars and stock market and having EB tonight
is a welcome change.
Erin is smoking HOT! The sexist woman alive!!!

Posted by boyfriend, Nov 09, 2007 10:06PM

kids be nice to Erin.that photo was taken a long time ago; people change and improve.she's now a big time financial reporter.

Posted by Tim cramer, Nov 09, 2007 10:09PM

who is her boyfriend?better not show your face to me,i'm freakign jealous.

Posted by keeping score, Nov 09, 2007 10:23PM

burnett's bf is a CITI prop trader...bess's is a GS prop trader...

Posted by k, Nov 11, 2007 8:54PM

i saw her in person at a little italian eatery with an older dude (looked like her boyfriend) he must've been in his 40s, she was (not that pretty) sitting at the bar with him yapping away about some segment that she might get on 60 minutes, "60 MINUTES, 60 MINUTES!!!" the boyfriend was nodding, checking out the other hot chicks at the resto..... compared to the hot trendy chicks surrounding her, she looked out of place, frumpy and her boyfriend looked bored. hair and make up and stylist and scripts do wonders !!!

Posted by , Nov 11, 2007 9:11PM

k: that's how i imagine her bf would be.most of the experienced traders of top companies are older and hideous looking.she seems to be attracted to older men anyway.she looks so pretty on TV and maybe it wasn't her taht u saw.

Posted by k, Nov 11, 2007 11:26PM

it was definitely her - her voice is very distinctive. 100% of people would recognize her. (if they knew who she was) I'm just glad they were gone by the time I sat down to dinner. I see maria around a lot, she's very short and very very big hips/ arssse. Pretty face though. Maria is a true New Yorker, people here appreciate her for that.

ha ha ha ha ha.... "she looks so pretty on TV" of course she does! that's what hair and make up / lighting is for.
I'm assuming ur not a new yorker.

Posted by , Nov 12, 2007 5:24PM

k: I'm from Orlando, FL so all i see around here are Mickey Mouse,the Dolphins and other Floridian characters...loi
EB is smart from the way she spontaneously ask questions and make comments.Since m not a NYorker,let me just imagine her bf (in 40s)is big,tall and balding....lol
