Kirk Herbstreit has been associated with College Game Day for over 20 years and in that time I have never heard him utter one undeserved negative comment concerning UM. Yes, I used the word “undeserved” just to be on the safe side as I don’t recall him making any negative comments about the “U”.
He certainly “factually” commented on the Shapiro matter. Yet, unlike the Holtz’s, May’s, Golic’s, et al., of the ESPN world and countless other media outlets he never called for the program to be shutdown.
Herbstreit is closer to being a UM homer than being a critic. If there were a couple of more Herbstreit’s out there campaigning for the Canes we would be vying for #1 recruiting class’s year in and year out.
As a longtime member in good standing of the “Stick It Up Your Colon Ohio State Club” I can’t help but appreciate Herbstreit’s loyalty to the Buckeyes as his father was a co-captain, played for Woody Hayes and coached for the man. Thus, Kirk was brought up on Ohio State football and not only played for them, but was also a team captain. So, it might not be a terribly bad idea to give the man a little shelter regarding his loyalty to the Buckeyes.
Recognizing that some feel the need to hate everyone and everything I am not endeavoring to change human nature, but would request that those UM’ers who bash Kirk reallocate their hate to some other worthy candidate.
