Katherine Webb, who has been dating the Alabama quarterback for about a month, started trending on Twitter early in Alabama's win over Notre Dame.

Webb, a year-old Montgomery, Ala. Her phone was dead. Among the more bizarre turns of her moment-by-moment increase in popularity was Arizona Cardinals DT Darnell Dockett posting his and inviting her to a strip club. He later deleted the tweet and said he meant to send Webb a direct message. McCarron responded to some of the tweets on Tuesday morning.
To Dockett, McCarron wrote, "u better worry ab being in them playoffs, then going to king of diamonds homie. Coming off his second national championship in as many years, McCarron couldn't feel threatened by the attention.
Both Webb and McCarron said he's not the jealous type, at least not about unwanted advances Webb gets from other men. That's messed up.
Hey, I guess she's more famous than me now. Kirk Herbstreit chimed in to say that McCarron must be doing some things right before Musberger added, "If you're a youngster in Alabama, start getting the football out and throw it around the backyard with pop. This is the first time that's kind of ever happened, for me.
I've never dated someone who's actually been in the spotlight, so it's a new thing for me. A model who lives in Los Angeles, she's used to attention, but even this was unique. Bonner said she first got a sense of what was happening when she got a text to smile because she was so frequently on camera.
The attention wasn't surprising, she said, and was tamer than some of the "crude and harsh" comments they sometimes hear from rival fans. She's gonna have guys that jaw-drop over her," McCarron said.
I guess I'm the blessed one at the end of the day. She's gotta put up with me.
Following his television interviews on the field after the win, McCarron jogged to the Alabama end zone with a slew of photographers in tow. He hugged his mother and father, fist bumped several other family members and finally found Webb, who bent down for a kiss. The relationship is still new, but both are excited. McCarron seems to have little to worry about.
Webb is talking about moving back to Alabama to be near him. It'd likely mean more time in the spotlight, but after the wild events of Monday — a second national title and Twitter explosion among them — they expect they'll handle it just fine.
She wrote, "So extremely blessed Congrats to Alabama and making history! Facebook Twitter. Share your feedback to help improve our site!
