You guys DO understand that it was not a beef against Nebraska, but rather a love for all the other teams such as '05 texas and '04 usc that drove him to act so childishly, right?
I am not condoning his behavior by any stretch of the imagination, but come on, Herbstreit likes Nebraska just fine (maybe not so much the Nebraska teams of past, but he has no beef with Nebraska now). In '05, he said that Lil Red was his favorite mascot, and after the Alamo Bowl he seemed happy that Nebraska won and was very encouraging to all Husker fans. Granted, he was an absolute idiot on national tv, but also granted, he did have a good point for the '71 team.
