Dude....I know a guy who saw your kid trading his middle school football participation trophy for an ounce of weed. You are in no position to judge.

You dont buy that he said he would never let his kids play for a Jim Tressel offense? You dont buy that he accused innocent kids of committing ncaa violations on national TV and never once apologized? You dont buy the he dropped our ranking right after we beat Arkansas in a bowl game and then just claimed he was sleepy and that was the reason why? You dont buy him slamming the entire fanbase for why he had to move to Tennessee? Which one dont you buy because they were all done in the national media spotlight.

I think Herbie is a smart guy, I think (many times) his analysis is spot on. I also think it's pretty clear he knows and loves college football very well and he's always seems current, unlike the laughing clown that is Desmond Howard. My problem with Herbie is during the game. I completely get it, he's the color guy, he has to fill time, you have to say a lot without saying anything, hence the "thwack, boom, bam" stuff from the John Madden era. I totally understand the job of the color guy is to fill blank air time but if you rang a cliche bell every time Herbie said one of his cliche's, it would be cracked bigger than the liberty bell by the end of the first quarter. I just hate the damned cliches. The non-stop, endless, string of cliches and they're the same ones over and over again. It's to the point, I swear to God, I get out a blue tooth speaker, find something like 97.1 on my iPad and I put the TV on mute and broadcast to the blue tooth speaker from my iPad if Herbie is doing a Buckeyes game. I do the same anytime that game show host guy "Big Game Beth Mullins" is doing the announcing, I can't stand him either.

Pretty sure I remember him praising Tressel when that debacle happened saying he would love for his kids to play for Tress. The whole moving to Tennessee thing I understand because it happens to a lot of people living under the spotlight like he has. It's not everybody but that small group of people won't budge on making your life hell. It's not like he bashed the entire fanbase when he left.

Except he did, trying to cover up the fact that he was skipping town because had he stuck around he would have been busted in the spotlight as a scumbag husband.
I hope Michael Brewster (who's still waiting on that apology) kicks his fucking teeth in one day and stands over him yelling "Way to pass the look test Kirk! keep your head on a swivel Kirk! Go Tempo Kirk! Way to show moxie Kirk! Play well in space Kirk! Pin your ears back Kirk! Way to be a gamer Kirk! Time to settle in Kirk! Way to get penetration Kirk! Get downhill Kirk! Gotta have a chip on your shoulder Kirk! Way to show poise Kirk! I got my foot in a tight window didn't I Kirk!" - there's probably a dozen more i'm forgetting but you get the idea in regards to the walking fucking cliche clown show.

That no-win situation is such a cop out. Plenty of people are able to call games without you even knowing what school they went to. They're in the same situation.....yet none of them had to escape to technicolor dreamland.

He screwed his reputation with Buckeye fans, saying he wouldn't send kids to play in the Ohio State offense, then joining the chorus of false allegations during Tattogate.
My opinion is that he is a petulant loser. He seems to want to be acknowledged as a Buckeye legend despite being one of the poorest QBs at Ohio State since the 1960s. I also would suggest that he may have tried to abuse his broadcasting position to try to force his way into the locker room and get that acknowledgement. So, he's not in a no-win situation at all. He's simply someone who tried to bully his way into the program and lost when Tressel said no.

Yeah, I mean when he calls McMoxie a hand off QB, he has no choice but to constantly apologize and say how wrong he was.
But when he erroneously smears Michael Brewster's reputation on national television during the same season (maybe the same month), he clearly can't say anything to take it back, not even on local radio.
