belowpar LSU Fan Baton Rouge Member since Nov 2007 844 posts	Herbstreit's Source---- (Posted on 12/3/07 at 4:55 p.m.) Again I'm going to preface saying I haven't posted anything that hasn't been true. This is what happened to Herbstreit... 1)He received a voicemail saying the deal is done, he's going to Michigan, will be announced early next week, and Tenuta is coming with him. 2)The person who did the voicemail was personating Desmon Howard and said they were Desmond 3)Desmond was in Hawaii covering the game 4)Herbstreit took this information to his supervisor WITHOUT calling Desmond back or confirming it. 5)His supervisor said run with it 6)Once it came out, Herbstreit himself started hearing things that it wasn't true. 7)They called Hawaii and woke Desmond Howard up about it. 8)Desmond knew NOTHING about it 9)Herbstreit was embarrased and still is and ESPN is trying to cover their somehow. 10)Basically he published this on a prank call In Summary a prank call started all this and Herbstreits an idiot. So the problem is he doesn't even have a true source to come out and say who it was, because he doesn't know. Someone trying to stir the pot on a big day for LSU...Plain and Simple. ************************************ :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: *Herbstreit in his career has NEVER published a breaking story and he still hasn't...ESPN has got on him pretty good about this.

theduderoberts LSU Fan Phoenix Member since Sep 2007 1632 posts	re: Herbstreit's Source---- (Posted on 12/3/07 at 5:06 p.m. to belowpar) i don't see why he would call Desmond back after speaking to someone who he thought WAS desmond howard. if this is true it is pretty funny. herbstreit is all about the spotlight. he is above calling games for ESPN anymore and they are probably not too happy that he does the ABC game every week

ESPN is looking like fools on this one for having an analyst "break" the story. ESPN stopped having any journalistic credibility when Regan was still in office.
