HuskerNationNick Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Ok, I haven't cared much for Kirk Herbstreit, but since his whine baby attitude when we beat out Miami in the '95 Huskers vs '01 Miami competition, I have began to get a HUGE disliking for him. Well tonight, I decide to see how much he doesn't like us, and watch the Herbie Awards. Start off, he doesn't believe Oregon will have the same offense, since Frost has never called a play. He was asked who in the B1G could take the reigns from the SEC, he mentioned tOSU of course, then second team was Wisconsin. Even without Beliema he thinks they will be a legitimate threat, and then he called Michigan a powerhouse. No mention of us. Who does he think will make it to the CCG... tOSU and MSU. If Michigan is the power house, why would he think it would be MSU? "Their defense will get them there" More to come the further this shows progresses lol. This guy is a douche! Quote Link to comment

Ratt Mhule Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 He's right about Frost, he has never called a play. And the offense may be different. We won't know til the first game. As far as MSU/OSU CCG, that's his opinion. Nebraska is going to have to prove they can play defense before they gain any respect. Quote Link to comment

Kiyoat Husker Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 He is just reiterating mostly what other opinionators have said about our chances to win the Legends division. No big surprise there. We will get talked about when we earn it with wins. Doesn't bother me any. I like being under the radar. I will be excited as hell when ol' Herbie is forced to acknowledge us AFTER we destroy all our opponents. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNationNick Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I understand, but its how this guy comes across about these questions. He is very negative and quick to put down anyone that has to do with Nebraska. To say MSU is going to make it to the CCG is a slap in the face to the whole legends division. MSU faces the toughest schedule in the conference, they lose Bell and Sims who combine for over half of MSU's total offense, and they lose some key players in their front 7, while now running a worse offense than they had last year. I don't think ESPN is anti Nebraska, but this guy is. I am not bothered by what he says, I actually think its funny. Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I can't see anything in the OP that is really anti-Nebraska. Quote Link to comment

HuskerNationNick Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I am starting to wonder if Herbie knows something we don't know... Michigan, Nebraska and Northwestern somehow not going to be eligible for bowl games? I think this is why he is picking MSU lol. Quote Link to comment

The offense will be the same, but it remains to be seen if it will be as effective as it was under Chip. First off, Scott Frost will be up in the booth, not on the field. Not sure if the communication will be there for them to run the offense at light speed. Second of all, Chip Kelly went for it a lot on fourth down, not so sure Scott Frost will have that at his disposal. Third, we have no clue what kind of playcaller Scott Frost OR Mark Helfrich will be. So, the offense will be the same, but there are a lot of variables to consider when we talk about how effective it will be. Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 LOL this cracks me up everytime It's a damn hypothetical, fan-voting contest, and he still throws a temper-tantrum. I'm normally ok with Herbstreit, but that kind of put me off of his analyses, right or wrong. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Nick, given how you seem to have some strange obsession with Herbstreit, is it safe to assume you exaggerated or took some of his comments out of context? 6 Quote Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I remember him picking Iowa to play in the big 10 championship our first year in the big 10. I think they went 5-7. Quote Link to comment
