Now that Ohio State was manhandled by LSU for their ninth loss to an SEC team in a bowl,what have we learned? We have learned that Ohio State should not have been in the national championship game and also that Herbie "The Homer" is a joke.

I am referring to the ultimate homer, Kirk "The Homer" Herbstreit. Does anyone really believe what this guy says? Remember Herbie's "scoop" when he so gleefully reported thst Les Miles was going to Michigan. The only problem was that Les nor Michigan knew that. This guy should be doing stand-up comedy instead of supposedly being an "analyst" for ESPN. This guy wouldn't know objectivity if it hit him square between the eyes.

In Herbie's world. there are only four teams worth discussing- Ohio State, USC, Florida, and Oklahoma. The rest are just the dregs of the college football world. Here's a news flash Herbie. Three of your teams lost in bowl games. This is the Kirk Herbstreit that consistently when asked by other ESPN hosts if Ohio State should be in the national championship game, he always answered an emphatic yes. And he never disclosed the fact that he "played"at Ohio State. You would think that the ESPN hosts would have brought that up. Not all casual viewers of ESPN and Herbie know that he is an Ohio State homer.

ESPN should kick Herbie to the curb or at the very least change his title from "analyst" to "Shill for Ohio State ".

  1. right on target. kirk bullshit is terrible. he has hated georgia since his 4th quarter fumble in the 1993 citrus bowl which virually gave georgia a game winning touchdown. he has no answer for the hard questions like why does the big 10 have 4 times as many heisman winners as the sec, or how many times has ohio state EVER beaten A SEC team since 1931, once, or who is the only college football team in this years final top 25 that hasn't lost a football game since november 1st, georgia, or who is the only team in college football history to win their last 6 games by 75 pts, three of which were over ranked opponents and 2 others over opponents who had been ranked that year and who went DOWN in the polls...........2007 georgia bulldogs and btw how in the world did usc go from 12 to 2 in the coaches poll in the final two weeks.? CAN YOU SPELL E-S-P-N

  2. lol I did notice in his 2008 preseason top 5 he did not have a big ten team.

  3. Man, lemme tell you something, Morons around here are saying his ill timed comments (befroe the SEC championship game) put Les Miles in a box and forced him to say he would stay at LSU when he really wanted to go to Michigan. Now what do you think of that? If it is true then Maybe Tressell put him up to "making Les stay at LSU so Tressel wouldn't have to face him at Michigan? Is any of this possible? Anyone this this is BS other than me?

    Geauxin' crazy.

  4. what a fuckin' idiot this author is. kirk never "disclosed" that he once played for ohio state? i thought that everyone on earth knew that....well, everyone except this dumb fuckin' author who apparently has never watched football in his life.

    if anything, herbie goes out of his fuckin' way to NOT be a homer - so i have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. you just make up a bunch of unfounded shit and put it on the internet and call in "journalism"? what a fuckin' concept. why don't you go back to doing what you're best known for - sodomizing your grandmother in her sleep and videotaping it so you can jerk off to it later while your grandfather fucks you in your ass.

    1. no the author apparently did watch a game of college football recently. he saw lsu the second best team in the sec embarass kir bullshit's home boys at he dome. really kirk is kinda a joke. he's a nice guy but has anyone ever been so wrong so often?

    2. btw at least the coward author put his name on here. are you really herbie's faggot brother. the one who lives in akron? HERBSTREIT IS THE BIGGEST BIG 10 CHEERLEADER AROUND. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN. REMEMBER LAST YEAR WHEN HE STARTED HIS REMATCH TALK OF A MICHIGAN OHIO STATE NC GAME? NO "BODY OF WORK" TA LK 13 MONTHS AGO. WALT WAS RIGHT ON TARGET AND YOU MY FRIEND ARE THE ONE LACKING INSIGHT.

  5. Anonymous, you are awful brave with your rhetoric but you have no clue about what you are saying. Perhaps you are one of "The Homer's" friends. If you think Herbie has gone out of his way to not be a homer, then you are more of a moron than you show with your profanity. Go back to your job at Big Macs and leave me alone.

  6. I could not agree more -- Herbstreit is a partisan Hack for Ohio State and the Big 10. He is not a journalist in any sense of the word. Of course, ESPN tolerates this because their investment is in catering to their biggest markets.

    I took great pleasure in the fact that Ohio State made it 0 for 9 against SEC teams in bowl games this season. Maybe they'll make it 0 for 10 next season.

    1. ohio state has beaten an SEC team once since 1931. that was lsu in 1998 i think.
