Yes. He's a professional journalist
Yes. He's also the father of a player

Yes. He's also the father of a player

Who hasn't played in a game in two years.

It's not Bob Greise calling Brian in the Rose Bowl

Herbstreit tearing up in the postgame, wtf?

"but this team because of what they went through to get to this point"

oh the adversity

 

[SixToe]

He's a journalist?

 

[swingline]

Is it just me or does Fowler still kinda suck on PxP?

I don't usually pay attention to Fowler when he's doing a game, but he seemed to get a lot of stuff wrong tonight.

Ohio State wins National Championship

Still fires Ryan Day for losing to Michigan.

Who made the call to let this fat fork on?

I was only half watching at that point, but the second his face hit the screen, I turned the game off and went to bed. fork that noise.

SVP calls Ohio State fan base pashionate and did not include delusional.

They just won the national championship. Hard to call them delusional after that.

Herbstreit tearing up in the postgame, wtf?

He did graduate from and play for OSU.

So out of the 11 playoff games, there was one that was legitimately dramatic (Az. State-Texas), one competitive with a late decisive play (OSU-Texas), one kinda upset (ND-Georgia), and the rest blowouts. In the 10 NFL playoff games so far, there have been three wildly dramatic games decided in the last two minutes (Commies-Bucs, Bills-Ravens, Eagles-Rams), one big upset (Commies-Lions), and the rest snoozers or absolute blowouts. That really looks like random difference to me. And yet, I get more interest in the NFL playoffs as they go on, while the college playoff is eerily like its March Madness equivalent. I was more interest at the start than at the finish.
Is this me, or is it an experience endemic to college sports?

 

[playthrough]

He did graduate from and play for OSU.

Yes, three decades ago and OSU has won national titles since. I don't think Herbstreit has had a great few weeks with all the playoff flip-flopping and criticizing, and then he goes full waterfall after the natty. Just not impressed.

It occurs to me that Ryan Day's baller move would be to jump into another thread and take one of the vacant NFL jobs. "Let Chip beat Michigan for you, you ungrateful jerks. I'm outta here."
