John Emery Jr. Responds To Kirk Herbstreit's Kind Words On College GameDay

I remember Herb used to be all in on USC in the early 2000s. He even picked Bama to beat us in 2019. He has been swinging towards LSU and the SEC the last few years tho.

I’m afraid so…time for this young man to save what is left of his health. He will always be a great Tiger…but I want him to be able to walk when he gets older, too.

Focusing on a successful recovery to play again at a high level is the best approach. Hanging up the cleats could be the worse outcome if it leads to a a recovery that's less than 100%.

Kirk is a class act. The fact that the rant hates him means he's doing his job. Very Well!
