ESPN College Football analyst Kirk Herbstreit was very critical on his podcast this week about how LSU players celebrated the National Championship on Monday night. Per TheSpun:
quote:

“I will say this: as much as we’re celebrating this team, I wasn’t a real fan of the post-game stuff, the OBJ stuff with the money,” Herbstreit said on The College Football Podcast With Herbie & Pollack. “The way they handled themselves at times. If it’s just about 2019, great. But this is about staying power, right? This isn’t the finish line of their program. Don’t they wanna win in 2020? Don’t they wanna win in 2021? I almost feel like it’s all the chips in, we made it, that’s it and forget everything else.”

Annnnd there's the bitter Clemson Dad we were all waiting for.

This guy should never be allowed to cover another Ohio State or Clemson game.

Kirk is bitter that his two sons got their arse handed to them. Not that they’ll actually ever see the field at Clemson anyway..

Ispent 5 days at the team hotel. Met and drank with dozens of past players. We all had a good time. The only one who made an arse of himself was OBJ at the game

Other than OBJ who was NOT on the team, he's not even specific. He talks in generalities about HIS perception of what players were thinking after the game. Sour grapes.

Good take. OBJ is not on the team. I also thought the cigar thing was blown out of proportion by a whiney chic at ESPN and the rent a cop who saw his chance at 10 minutes of fame.

Only player (ex) that made an arse of himself was the one handing out money.

Gonna have to disagree here Kirk, except about the OBJ stuff.

This is silly. For Burrow and Jefferson, this season obviously WAS "all chips in". No, "they" don't want to win in 2020. They won't be here.

I can see where he’s coming from... for Jefferson to take the $ and for burrow to say “yeah it was real, I’m not a student athlete anymore” can come across like “it doesn’t affect ME cuz I’m gone” but what about your brothers who will suit up next year possibly under NCAA sanctions. The whole vibe comes across like “who cares we won it all this year”

They just worked an entire year with 1 goal in mind...win championships. Not only did they do that, but they did it in extraordinary fashion. Let them celebrate. As for OBJ, that dude should be banned for a while from the program.

OBJ is a fool and often and ceremoniously lets everyone know it.

Herbstreit has declined significantly as a broadcaster over the last few years.

I like Kirk, and I honestly feel kind of like what he's saying is close to my own thoughts. Might not be quite the right timing or tone right now for what he's saying, but the OBJ stuff after the game has definitely been a dull spot on an otherwise brilliant night.

Well, he’s not wrong, and OBJ’s antics we very disappointing for someone who claims to love their school.

Whutevs brah...who are you to judge the way he chooses to celebrate....clearly he was happy for his team and supporting his team....he prolly has more money than he knows what to do with and also knows many college players don't have much money at all, so connect the dots no biggie.....

I think Herbie keeps it all pretty straight. I watched every bit of that game standing in front of the tv and didn’t even know he had sons at Clemson

How does Odell Beckham, Jefferson and Burrow represent every player, coach, staff and board at LSU? LSU had no idea he would do anything remotely to this. I guess when Zeke was involved With DV, it was Ohio State fault. Are when Tressell got count in recruiting scandals, it was because Ohio State wasn't used to winning

Gotta love good old fashioned butt-hurt

Kirk Herbstreit - QUOTE: "I have Ohio State No. 1..." "..Ohio State has the most complete team..." "..Oklahoma’s kind of similar to what Ohio State’s doing.."

then LSU brings the butt-hurt, and Herbstreit is like, QUOTE:

"But this is about staying power, right? This isn’t the finish line of their program. Don’t they wanna win in 2020?"

Baahaaaa!! I guess Kirk somehow believes Ohio and Oklahoma sitting quietly at home watching the Nat. Championship on TV will somehow prepare them for 2020 better than LSU celebrating like the FIRST TEAM IN HISTORY TO GO A PERFECT 15-0 BY BEATING SEVEN TOP 10 TEAMS!!!, while taking home the Heismam, O'Brien, Unitas, Maxwell, Thorpe, and Biletninikoff, awards...ten AP All SEC Team, four AP All American TEAM, AP Player of the YEAR, AP Coach of the Year, and re-wrote the NCAA record books...

Kirk Herbstreit - QUOTE: "..But this is about staying power, right?.."


whaa? .....good comeback Kirk
