I've been to Nashville before, its a great city. I just don't get why someone with the work life Herbie has would choose Nashville out of the thin blue air..

I don't get it either. Essentially, it's Tennessee's version of columbus. It's not like he's saying I want to live in the mountains or on the ocean or in a major metropolis. Well, I hope his espn money will at least buy him a good piece of bottom land.

What a crock of shit:

Kirk Herbstreit and his family moved out of central Ohio yesterday, a change that the ESPN college football analyst said he had pondered for three years. Herbstreit said the move to Nashville, Tenn., was because of the constant criticism he has received from a vocal minority of Ohio State fans who don't understand that his job at the network demands objectivity and fairness.

"Nobody loves Ohio State more than me," said Herbstreit, a former Buckeyes quarterback. "I still have a picture of Woody Hayes and my dad (Jim, a former OSU player) in my office, and nobody will do more than I do for the university behind the scenes. But I've got a job to do, and I'm going to continue to be fair and objective. To continue to have to defend myself and my family in regards to my love and devotion to Ohio State is unfair."

Herbstreit said he and his wife, Allison, visited several cities before deciding on Nashville. He will continue to do his Monday radio show on WBNS-FM (97.1) in the fall.

"From a sports perspective, this is rough," he said. "I love Ohio State. Love the Blue Jackets. Love the Reds. Those are my hobbies. I don't like moving. I love living here. I don't want to leave. But I just can't do this anymore. I really can't keep going like this.

"Eighty to ninety percent of the Ohio State fans are great. It's the vocal minority that make it rough. They probably represent only 5 to 10 percent of the fan base, but they are relentless."

Tennessee is where you belong

vocal minority my ass. I went to Centerville High School so I have double the reason to like the guy. Me and all my high school buddies loved the guy, until about 5 years ago.

If you can piss off your fans from your high school days, you must be trying pretty hard.

You guesstimate crowd percentages like you play QB Herbstriet.

Shitty.

I have never seen anything like this. Malabu Ken drops the Buckeyes 3 spots in his poll for winning a BCS bowl, picks a fight with a college qb, implicates players and never recants or apologizes when he is wrong, and he can't take the heat when people try to make him accountable??? So now he is a victim and has to move 500 miles to get away from the horrible vocal minority. Geesh. :shake:

Between 5 and 10% eh? So, maybe Kirk was looking for a 7-percent solution?

Should have just rented a DVD.
