VectorVictor Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 https://247sports.com/Article/Nebraska-Scott-Frost-pump-the-brakes-on-judgement-says-Kirk-Herbstreit-122240737/ Quote But compare programs like Florida State, UCLA and Arizona to Nebraska and the Huskers fall under a different umbrella in spite of an 0-2 start. That is the argument ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit made Wednesday. “I’m going to cherry pick Nebraska out of the rest of the teams you mentioned because they’ve actually played and competed and just ended up losing games at the end,” he said on the Herbstreit and Fitzsimmons Podcast. “ I know the Troy game was a game they should have won. But if you watched them play, you didn’t walk away shaking your head thinking, ‘what in the world are they doing.’ There's more in the article, and he's got a good point, as loathe as I am to admit it (because I dislike Herbie, not because I am jumping off the Frost bandwagon). We just need to clean some things up, and those are wins and we have positive buzz going into Ann Arbor. 1 Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Herby is a good analyst and has been very kind to NU over the years. He picked us as a dark horse MNC contender under Bo, and we made him look like a fool. Husker fans need to get over that clip from forever ago. This is all going to take time. We've made some killer progress, but we have a ways to go. We'll compete with Michigan, and we could win. That's what I love most about this rejuvenate roster, they're actually competing every game, and every down. 6 1 Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I think only the most serious Kool-aid swilling fool would have said that in 9 months Frost would have this team competing for a championship of any kind. Most of us thought we would see gradual improvement and I think compared to last year we have.....especially on defense. The offense had a decent quarter and a half vs the Buffs and a few plays vs Troy. We are a work in progress and it will continue barring injuries to key players. I've always liked KH and I still do. 1 Quote Link to comment

Redux Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I used to dislike Herbie quite a bit. But honestly he is as straight a shooter as they have on the staff, and yeah anymore he appears to have gotten over the 95 vs 71 thing, we probably should too. He is a damned knowledgeable analyst. 3 Quote Link to comment

Because, we let one moment define a person, right? He's been fantastic for a long, long time. 2 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I will post my theory again. Leonardo DiCaprio took forever to win an Oscar because he was beautiful and the male voters couldn’t take a hot guy seriously as an actor. He didn’t win an Oscar until he got old, beardy, and dirty. Herbstreit has the same problem. I had a huge crush on him as a teenager. He’s hot so men don’t like him. I’ve seen like 5 different fanbases hating on him and I really don’t visit many other fan message boards. 4 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Herbie is probably my favorite ever since Keith Jackson retired. I just like listening to him and he seems to give us the benefit of the doubt more often than not. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't mind Herbsteit, I think he is a good announcer most of the time and I dont think he has a bias against us. He is like normal person off the street good looking but not some Adonis. He just looks like average white guy with added makeup and bleached teeth. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 He's no Mark May Never had a problem with Herbstreit since he started. I've always liked the gameday show. Fowler, Herb, Reece Davis. It's all good to me. 2 Quote Link to comment

For the record he’s not nearly as hot now as he was in the 90s but I suppose aging 20 years will do that to a person, unless that person is Brad Pitt or George Clooney. Quote Link to comment
