I just finished this book and it was really quite excellent, especially if you're a college football fan and watched College Football Game Day:

    Of all the analysts on ESPN, Herbie seems the most genuine. Desmond will pick a team 1 week, and the next week, they're garbage. We shouldn't expect a lot of insight from "GameDay", but if there is any, it usually will come from Herbie, who I think actually really does love it when GameDay is at Oregon. 

    The "dreamy Kirk Herbstreit," as they used to call him on Game Day. 🙂

    Herby is pretty good,  Homer for the SEC, but knows football as well as anyone.

    You know he played for Ohio State, don't you?

    People seem to love to hate on Herbstreit, but I've always found him to be quite good at his job.

    QB and team captain but run out of Columbus by Buckeyes fans who believed he did not tout the Nuts enough? I think today he has relocated from Nashville to Cincinnati?

     

    His two sons went to Clemson.

    Actually, it was Chris Fowler and Lee Corso. But he was pretty cute, still pretty easy on the eyes!

    Not sure about dreamy or easy on the eyes.......

     

    However whenever my wife sits down to drink her morning coffee and SEC Game Day is on,  if she sees Mr. Dreamy she sighs and

     

    Softy whispers yummy......

     

    I asked her once if the yummy was for the coffee or Herbie?

     

    Her answer was, both...

     

    Never asked again!

     

    Guess Annie was on to something.

     

    Over the years Herbie has been pretty high on his praise for Oregon. Especially with the video game remote in Chip and Mark's hand.
