Ugh, how does Herbstreet talk for 4 quarters without ever taking a breath?

I think Herbstreet is very knowledgeable and informative. I just wish he would take a breath and learn to talk less. I had to mute the television for the most of the 3rd quarter and all of the 4th of last nights game. So wish there was a way to keep the crowd and stadium noise, but block the sound of the announcers. I know it's just me getting old and I probably should have been making sure those kids weren't on my lawn, but sports aren't supposed to be that loud.

I assume you are talking about this guy. Heh, when I first Googled him, I was searching for "Herb Street." There are quite a few such streets in the USA.

One also gets quite a few hits searching for "Herbstreit criticism."

It's not Herbstreit"s fault. If he was in a 3 man booth, he'd be more tolerable. But the 2 man broadcast means you'll hear him half the time, minimum. He isn't as irritating on College Gameday because he is sharing the stage.

Wow, I've been spelling his name wrong for years. My bad.

Danielson is in a 2 man booth on CBS and he isn't even close to being the windbag Kirk is. Oh and I'm not sure I want a 3 man booth on ESPN. That usually leads to the hairboys referring to themselves with corny nicknames and competing to top the other.

I refuse to watch college pregame/halftime shows.

GD speaks just as much as Kirk. You probably just agree w/Gary more. Danielson's delivery is better. He comes off more as enjoying the game while Kirk's comments sound like he's enjoying himself speak.

Ah, I grew up north and live in Louisiana. There is no way on earth I agree with or should I say enjoy what Danielson says......that would mean I go to bed every night chanting SEC SEC SEC and dream only of SEC speed.

I think my house is an equal distance between Vanderbilt, Univ of Alabama, Univ of Georgia, and Univ of Tenn.. All year long I hear about the SEC and football. I am a little partial to Tennessee but it was fun reading their football forum today at volnation.com.
Back on topic I miss Howard Cosell and Don Meridith. I can not believe that I said that I miss Howard.
I use to listen at night on my transitor to Harry Carey and Jack Buck broadcast the Cardinal games. That was great.

I don't like his fanboy routine. But in fairness, that is all he sees and is surrounded by. And CBS owns their TV rights. So bias is inevitable.

I agree. I actually enjoy the CBS broadcasts.
