Jerrod Niemann made his debut on the Ellen DeGeneres show last week, but believe it or not, the highlight of the gig wasn't performing his recent Gold-certified No. 1 single ‘Lover, Lover.’   Nope, it was Ellen's underwear.  Jerrod tweeted,  “Ellen rocks. She gave me a gift pack fully equipped with many goodies, including Ellen brand underwear boxer/briefs.”   At least we know he's a boxer AND brief kind of guy!    Jerrod hit the road Thursday for the "Higher Education" tour, which he's with Lee Brice. "Here's the ironic part about the whole thing," he told the Boot. "It's me and Lee and it is called 'Higher Education.'  So of course people are expecting a bunch of drunk people and people falling off the roof of the building. That's possible, I'm not going to discount that. But I will say that we intend on putting together the best show that we're capable of."  Read more here.     The "Higher Education" tour runs through April 28, giving Jerrod a month off before he hits the road with Brad Paisley on the H20 II World Tour.   Check out Jerrod's new dance move!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0LRFebl-rQ
