Hey we are getting great press right now that has been on the air waves for 3 weeks now. Any good word is great for us. I personally think KH is okay at best.

The Herbie hate on this board is baffling. He is one of the better color guys and has never showed any hate towards LSU. If LSU performs, he always gives us props. He tells it like it is. If the performance is sloppy, he is going to call it out. That simple. It isn't some conspiracy. I'd prefer a Gary Danielson or Herbie calling any game. Probably the two best color guys.

yeah he's a buckeye, but he's better than many other insufferable color guys.

He prolly needs a team since the buckeyes are in the toilet for now.


Well, he did move his family to Nashville recently. Figures things will be better rooting for Vandy. LOL. Actually, he moved from Columbus, because the Buckeye fans thought he was too anti-Ohio State. The guy doesnt get any breaks from anyone's fans

Here's hoping he can follow Jack Arute & escape the ESPN demigods. Sometimes think he is playing straight man for Dr. Lou, but probably the best in this den of thieves.

I like Herbie
I like Mayday
I like Jesse Palmer

I feel they are realistic and tend to tell it like it is. Sometimes that means that they are with us and sometimes they are against us. Grow up people.

I don't get the Herbie hate either. He is one of the best color guys around and is paid to give his opinion. He is more knowledgable than everyone on this board, while being pretty fair.

LSU fans just seem to get so butthurt when an announcer isn't in love with LSU.

We have a QB that will not turn the ball over and can make plays when needed. Is that a better ?

No he is reassessing his opinion of LSU.

ESPN has a deal with the SEC now.

Simple as that.

Herbie's Ok. He's a pretty insightful analyst and incredibly objective. He has a Talk show in Columbus OH, where he played QB and he gives the buckeyes no slack.

I think ole Herbie is simply trying to stir up shite and fuel Nick Saban's/Alabama's fire so we get beaten. NOBODY does a complete 180 like that. Even EA is not being such a little bitch to Les.

Just like that guy who smiles in your face while he's twisting the knife in your back.

But that is my opinion. What do I know?
