There has been a lot celebrating going on at ESPN by former LSU players this week but Kirk Herbstreit is hoping the current Tigers stay hungry.

Here's what he had to say on Twitter Thursday:

We have Ed O at the helm, and Joe burrow under center. Thanks for the concern, but they'll block it out.

Kirks just mad that not only we whipped his boys asses back in 07 but espn is being invaded by ex LSU players throwing love at us 24/7. Kirk, stick to predicting Les’ next move.

Why would anyone think he is mad or wrong? The guy is right and I’ve been around LSU long enough to have seen them not focus and have a let down. I think the staff and team realize that but nothing wrong with someone pointing it out.

Haha. That's not a message directed to the fans, its more directed to Clark, Booger and Spears not so subtly reminding them Ohio State is good too. Its all fun, Herbstreit likes his team just like our guys like LSU. Nothing wrong with that, some people take it all too seriously. I would love to play Ohio State and settle it on the field. Herbstriet has been more than fair with most of his LSU takes this year and particularly complimentary of Burrow and Coach O.

Herbstreit is right. But I blame the media for some of some of this. You can’t promote a game and call it “the game of the century” and expect that winner of said game to just act like it was business as usual.

Herbstreit is a class act who has been quietly pulling for the tigers for a long time.

KH is right. There is nothing wrong with what he said. I can see Spears on the SEC Network having fun on set with other SEC Network Anaylists and Broadcasters who are former SEC players. However, I think the national guys should probably tap the breaks a bit.

Agreed.... Keep focus on the task at hand, and as Joe Burrow himself said, they didn’t go into the season saying they were going to beat Alabama. There’s many more goals than just Bama. Many more to come... FINISH STRONG TIGERS....

I know your as shook up over the Bama loss as much as Gary Danielson is. Have no fear the Tigers are focused on Ole Miss. What’s that you say you are not a Homer for Alabama, but immediately after the game providing alternate paths the the CFP for Bama. FAKE NEWS! This is MAGA Country

He's right about this. Hell, LSU will be without both of their starting OT's this week. Need to focus on keeping Joe Burrow out of the ICU. But, I believe Coach O will have the team focused for Ole Miss. Heaven knows this is the Rebel's GOTY.

He should go tell Ryan Clark, Booger, and Marcus to STFU. He may want to slap them, for emphasis.

I think our team has amazing focus this year with the leaders. That being said I love all the hype these former guys are bringing and welcome it with open arms. If you let this stuff distract you then you just don't have what it takes. This team has what it takes and you can see that in the player interviews this week. They all talk about the focus they have for Ole Miss.

He’s not saying we can’t enjoy it and have fun. He’s def not talking to the fans. He’s saying don’t read the press clippings and start feeling entitled. Just keep doing what they have been and don’t get caught up in all of it. There’s still football to be played. Their celebration should have lasted 24 hours max. Alabama week is over now though. The championship hasn’t been won yet and we still have a lot of games left.
