Got bored of the game, eh?
An ESPN cameraman was called out during the matchup between the Florida Gators and the Ole Miss Rebels for zooming in on a blonde Gators fan wearing a particularly low-cut black shirt.
The camera cut to the closeup shot of the young lady in the stands while the Gators were on 2nd and goal while up 31-21 with 14 minutes left in the fourth quarter. And as the live shot cut to the fan, he slowly started zooming out to get a wider shot of the crowd:
Immediately people began calling out (and praising) the camera man, while questioning whether he was scanning the crowd when he thought his camera feed wasn’t being shown and ended up getting caught in 4k when they cut to him:
CBS cameraman using that zoom when he thought his feed was off air until someone in the control booth decided to put his shot on air. He tries slowly zooming back out like nothing up but we know what was uphttps://t.co/bZbwiy7IoH

It was just a short clip, but the fan quickly went viral – and as is usually the case, it didn’t take long for her to be identified as Peyton Blomquist, a University of Florida student and member of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority.
Luckily, it appears that Blomquist is embracing her viral moment, and even shared a screenshot on her Instagram:
We’ve seen this same thing happen quite a bit in the past, with attractive fans quickly setting the internet on fire, from the Tulane Peach Bowl girl a few years ago to the Ole Miss fan from the Music City Kickoff against Louisville earlier this year to this Georgia Bulldogs fan who went viral during a game against Texas in 2025.
Of course you can’t really blame the camera guy for getting bored during the game: Florida jumped out to an early lead over Ole Miss, who was coming off a massive win over LSU and their former coach Lane Kiffin last week. The Rebels were down 17-6 at halftime, and while they managed to come back to within 3 in the third quarter, Florida quickly responded and ran away in the fourth quarter, ultimately taking a 52-28 win in the Swamp over the #4-ranked team.
It’s a massive turnaround for the Gators, who fired head coach Billy Napier midway through last season and brought in Tulane coach Jon Sumrall to turn things around. They have one of the best running backs in the country with Jadan Baugh, and junior transfer QB Aaron Philo has his team undefeated through 4 games with a matchup against Mizzou next week. (I’m a Tulane grad so while I’m glad to see Sumrall having success, I’m still a little salty that he left, even though you can’t blame him for taking a job like Florida).
Gotta love the SEC – and apparently the camera man liked what he saw in the stands more than the game on the field.
