The Minnesota Golden Gophers football side quarterback Cole Kramer is getting the attention for the wrong reasons. Even the viewers and fans are apparently tired of the coverage. The reason is that his fiancee, Katie Miller, stole all the media attention at the Gophers’ recent fixture. Miller went viral during her presence at the Quick Lane Bowl.

This was met with some heat from viewers since they reckoned they came to watch the game! Those who watched on television also got tired of the repeated Miller and Kramer connection. This led to a significant backslash on ESPN’s Quick Lane Bowl game coverage.

Fans call out the extra attention showered on Kramer’s fiancee, Katie Miller

The senior quarterback Cole Kramer finally got a shot at playing football against Bowling Green. It marked a terrific day for the young QB, who took the opportunity with both hands. However, there was a moment that eclipsed the stunning debut. Kramer’s fiancee, Katie Miller, was repeatedly shown while the game was going on. The commentators kept on mentioning Kramer’s marriage with Miller set to take place in 2024. One of the viewers also expressed disappointment, saying, “We are watching for football.”

It got annoying after some time since the broadcast only showed Miller in the stands. The couple got engaged in May 2022 and will get married soon. It’s now believed that the ESPN crew had a separate set of cameras trained on Miller during the game. ESPN didn’t miss a chance to remind the viewers of the QB’s personal life. The bizarre obsession caught everyone’s eye, and the fans weren’t spared the opportunity to throw bombs at the broadcasting channel.

Fans miffed with the Katie Miller screen time during the Quick Lane Bowl matchup

Football fans who love seeing the players sweat it out on the field were not impressed with the ESPN showing Katie Miller on the screens. The repeated marriage dates being discussed by the commentators didn’t help the fan’s cause. These viewers then took to the social media platform X to express their emotions vehemently. The madness similar to Taylor Swift NFL’s obsession caught the ire of fans.

“Not sure if you’re aware, but Gopher quarterback Cole Kraemer is engaged to be married to Katie Miller,” wrote one fan with a sarcastic tone. Another fan writing followed it up, “The focus of this broadcast on Cole Kramer’s fiancé is beyond creepy.” Another user poked the fan at the same while commenting, “Is Cole Kramer getting married? No one has mentioned it.”

Sadly, the QB’s outstanding performance was overshadowed by the over-the-top obsession with his fiancee Katie Miller.
