As an SEC fan I approve. (moving several SEC teams over a BCS bowl winning Big-10 team)
As a Buckeye fan, it is a huge slap in the face to drop you to 9. If he did that in light of the already edgy relationship to the fanbase after his prior issues, then he is an idiot. I did not know he was that much of a professional victim. His idiot doing, even if they thought that. But he had to know how it would be perceived. Crying now makes him look like a loser.
So. nm. Carry on.

What's Behind Kirk Herbstreit Leaving Columbus?
Written by Matt Yoder | 12 March 2011
Analysts are supposed to be unbiased in their work - it's perhaps the one aspect of announcing that draws the most skepticism, controversy, and outrage from fans. "Announcer X is biased against my team or my league!" "I don't like Announcer Y because he hates our team!" Things get complicated when a former player from a given team or university enters into the sports media and has to answer to charges of bias. Usually, criticism comes from fans of rival schools, teams, or conferences. But, I can't ever remember an analyst actually leaving his hometown based on criticism from his own fans. That's exactly what has happened with Kirk Herbstreit.

Head Coach
and it still left out a shitload of other instances that were anti-Big 10 and Ohio State.
He never mentioned in the article Herbstreit's claim the if he were an offensive player he'd never consider Ohio State.
And my personal favorite when OSU lost in the national title game to LSU.....Ohio State set the Big 10 back to the 1950's.

From the above article:
How embarrassing was it when the lunatic fringe fans ran Spielman out of town? Clark Kellog? Robert Smith? Jim Jackson? What's that you say, Herbie is the only one?
I can think of 3 prominent Buckeye athletes that have become persona non grata around Columbus; Art Schlichter, Mo C and Herbie. I'm not comparing Herbie to those other two fucknuckles, just illustrating that exile requires a great deal of work on the "victims" part.
