Click the image above for an enlarged look of ESPN's Chris Fowler cheering on Michael Crabtree's amazing catch and run for the winning touchdown in Saturday night's Texas-Texas Tech game. A gentleman named Steven Leija took the shot, which was sent to us by Fridge.
We're more than happy to include this shot among our collection of "GameDay" hosts cheering the action. Previous entries in the gallery include two shots of Kirk Herbstreit. The first, displayed on the right, has Herbie smiling behind the Ohio State bench after Ted Ginn returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown in the 2007 Bowl Championship Series title game. It was all downhill after that for the Buckeyes.
The second image has Herbie jumping on the back of former Buckeye Eddie George to celebrate a Buckeye interception in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl.

It doesn't look like he's cheering to me. He just looks genuinely excited or astonished about the play that is unfolding in front of him. I don't categorize that as cheering.
I was in the press box at Arrowhead for an OU-KU game a couple of years ago and we were watching the Notre Dame-USC "Push Game" prior to kick off. We all had similar looks on our faces when Leinart scored his touchdown.
I agree the media can't show bias, but to expect people who cover and love this sport not to get excited when a play like Crabtree made happens is going a little too far.
I have nothing against Fowler for having a visceral reaction to the play.

I can't agree with furrer4heisman more. I wasn't really cheering for Texas Tech myself, I just wanted it to be a good game. While I didn't have a mirror in the room when I watching the game, I'm sure I had a very similar look on my own face! I see that as an "astonished" look.

I can't blame Fowler for that at all. I have no rooting interest in that game, but when i saw that play I jumped in the air and yelled too. I can't imagine what I would have done if I had been on the sideline 5 yards from the play. I don't think he was rooting, it was an amazing play.

Chris Fowler does hate the Longhorns though.

You cant fault Fowler for that reaction. I could not imagine what it was like to be five yards from the greatest reciever to ever play college ball, making possibly the greatest play in the history of the big 12, maybe ever. As a tech fan i am truely jealous. It was just an invoulentary expression to witnessing a once in a life time event.
