Allie LaForce will be roaming March Madness sidelines again this year as one of the CBS sideline reporters responsible for asking the tough questions at halftime. She’ll be teamed with Verne Lundquist and Bill Raftery in Buffalo where the Ohioan will get to report on Dayton and Ohio State.
A former Miss USA competitor and Ohio U. basketball player, LaForce (@ALaForce) has gone from being a local Cleveland Fox reporter to being the Erin Andrews of CBS.
She used to date Indians pitcher Joe Smith. I’m not sure where that relationship is at these days, but she still seems to be interested in him.
Update: Allie has responded and says that her and Joe are engaged (congrats!) and “Oh…& didn’t compete in Miss USA. I won Miss Teen USA & had opportunity to help lots of young women & charities that I love.” The wedding isn’t until January 17, 2015 so I have plenty of time to buy something off the wedding registry.
