The Face That Got 90,000 Twitter Followers In Under 3 Hours: Meet A.J. McCarron's Girlfriend, Katherine Webb

The real star of the Alabama-Notre Dame BCS National Championship game tonight wasn't quarterback A.J. McCarron. It was his 23-year-old, pageant-winning girlfriend, Katherine Webb.

Webb was formerly Miss Alabama. Up until last week, she only had a few hundred Twitter followers. But ESPN found her in the stands at Sun Life Stadium.

She was only on TV for a few minutes, but the announcers went wild. They called Webb a "beautiful woman" and recommended boys in Alabama start "playing catch in the backyard" to win a woman like Webb.

After that, Twitter followers poured in. While her boyfriend was playing on the field, she surpassed him in fans. Even Lebron James started following her account @KatherineWebb. Now, she has more than 92,000 followers and counting.
