Herbstreit reflected on his sons’ first season. They redshirted as Clemson went 14-1. The Tigers defeated Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl national semifinal game before falling to LSU in the national championship game.

“They had a chance to participate and travel out and be a part of a surreal moment for them with that semifinal game against Ohio State, a team they grew up their whole life worshipping,” Herbstreit said. “Even to this day, they love the Buckeyes. Even though they weren’t playing, it was still surreal for them to look to the other side and see those uniforms. Of course, that was a controversial game the way it ended.

“They were able to dress for the national championship game and even though they came up short against LSU it was pretty neat for them in their first year to get these two rings that are massive.

“They missed spring ball as a team. Everything up to this point has been voluntary. College football is just trying to figure things out. It’s a ready, fire, aim situation. The rules of engagement seem to be changing daily and even hourly.

“The boys feel really good about how they fit in. Dabo (Swinney) called me and we were talking about a lot of things. I really stay out of everything unless he brings something up. At the end of the call, he said, ‘I just want you to know that everybody is really fond of your boys for the way they are trying to make a name for themselves. They never talk about who they are. They just want to work and earn their own way.’

“Knowing them, that is what I would expect from them. But to hear Dabo see that and feel that … he has two boys of his own who are trying to do the same on the team.”

In the discussion, Herbstreit revealed his third son, Zak, will be a senior this fall at Montgomery Bell Academy. Zak Herbstreit is listed as a 6-3, 225-pound tight end and, according to his dad, is looking into attending Ohio State.

I see see he used COVID lockdown time to work "surreal" into his 19 count catch phrase lexicon.

From the New York Post:

Kirk Herbstreit calling “Monday Night Football” is gaining a little more momentum, though, it is by no means a done deal. Here’s the news: This is even if there is a college football season, according to sources.

If college football is played this fall, Herbstreit would continue with Chris Fowler on ESPN’s No. 1 team. That is not changing, no matter what.

However, the NFL likes Herbstreit, sources say, and he could do double duty and team with new MNF play-by-play favorite Steve Levy. It is very unlikely Fowler would do both college and the MNF.

Do they make soundless t.v.'s?

If they don't, they should.

These days any TV can be soundless:

Saturday mornings were cartoon time and I had to adjust the B&W tube TV so my little brother and I could watch cartoons and old Tarzan series. KDKA had the old Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan series. But that TV was always "drifting and rolling" so I had to "finesse" it.I was 10 and had been adjusting that TV for a couple years after seeing Dad do it a couple times. He got me started on electronics.
