Kirk Herbstreit on UM vs Bama

[Shogungts]

Appreciate the link and I like Herbstreit, but the title of this post should be 'Kirk Herbstreit briefly mentions Miami vs Alabama while discussing many other unrelated things in a 10 minute interview'

 

[CANEMC]

Herbie loves the U.

I don’t think that Herbie is necessarily a fan per say, more that he enjoys what a good Miami program brings to the overall college football experience. He’s part of a growing segment of college football fans that are getting tired of seeing Alabama vs Clemson EVERY **** SEASON.

How does Bama d go from it's worst in forever to best in the nation? Holy offseason.

 

[Trav]

Not much. We have a shot because of King.

Thinks Bama has the best D in the country.

Dated a girl from Bama and she would definitely disagree..

Oh wait be meant defense.

 

[jdmorgan76]

Henry To o To o might have something to do with their newly found perceived greatness..

 

[datcaneguy]

I just want one or all these receivers school Jobe all night

Sounds like he's trying to boost TV ratings. King, while electric at times, isn't going to be electric every play against Alabama. The "best D in the country" will have an answer for a 5'8" QB.

So we should have a answer for their 5’8 QB as well right? Because they’re the same height

It was bad by Bama’s standards. But I think a lot of those players on D was young too

Lol

D'Eriq King will be the best player on the field whenever he is on it. So you always have a chance when that is the case. I dont care how great their defense is supposed to be. Alot of this is just hype based off what Bama beat writers are saying to the masses. How the **** does anyone know Bamas defense is the best in the country based off what they did last year when they werent even top 20 in total defense last year? Its all hype as of now.

Agreed. Saying that this Alabama defense is the best defense in college football is a completely arbitrary statement. It is literally based on nothing. Last year Alabama's defense was ranked #32 in total defense. #17 in rush defense and #70 in pass defense(yards allowed). By comparison UM was #67 in total defense #76 in rush defense and #65 in pass defense(yards allowed). We were dreadful on defense for the most part. Alabama's defense was better than ours but that isn't the point. I understand that they return 92% of their defensive production but I don't see any objective reason to consider them to be the best defense in college football this year.

Herbie knows Miami being relevant makes college football better overall so he shows us love whenever prompted

Toe mas! Really.

Thats true. He has a major in Business Administration, so that absolutely plays a part in it.

I´d would say that his broadcasting partner Chris Fowler is more of a Miami fan. Lives in Miami, has broadcasted here during some crazy games and also has done some interviews with smaller podcasts in the last year.

What a typical comment from one of the negative nellie troll fans on this page. SMH

Some folks dont realize how dumb they come across.

Had to give a dumb because his height is irrelevant and of course he isn’t going to be electric every play. No qb is.

 

[da truth]

Cliff notes? I can't watch it at work

well it’s only 1 question about miami and he sucks bama d off in the answer so you’re not missing much

 

[da truth]

I always felt he knows it’s good for college football when Miami is good
Good for ratings
U need a good bad guy
So he’s always hyping us up
We’re gonna get hyped up a lot over the next two weeks to hype up that bama game

Hype going to be huge after we upset the defending champs and then we will end up losing to gt somehow

 

[DTP]

D’Eriq King is gonna be 5’3” by the time the season starts.
