I would guess it would be about 90-95% positive.

LOL....got a point...

He was just around mark may for way too long....and started voicing his opinions like May on national television.

People are stupid. By any non- biased pov Nashville is entirely better than Columbus. Growing city, NFL team, great music venues, no income tax, far better weather, excellent public and private schools, good airport, great hospitals and relatively low cost of living. Do people really care where he lives? If so, pathetic.

BINGO!!!!

Judas was also a "real" disciple. Half the people calling Judas a traitor were never considered one of the 12 disciples of Jesus.

I could care less where Herbstreit decides to live -- but his misfortunes, for the most part, can be laid at his own feet.

No, I don't condone people threatening him or his family. Not ever. Those folks belong in jail or a mental ward.

But Herbstreit has always tried to play off the fan animosity toward him as being a minority of folks who don't have the intellect to know better.

When the fact is MOST Ohio State fans are pretty bright folks and understand football...and don't have a clue why he continues to say things about Ohio State, its players and program he would NEVER EVER say about any other program in college football.

No, it's not about being objective...it's about being FAIR.

When he drops another top 10 team several places after WINNING its bowl game against a favored opponent, it will be a first.

When he says another good offensive player should not go play for a certain major program because of its offensive scheme, it will be a first.

When he calls out the QB of a top 10 program and says they would be better off without him, and basically gets into a public pissing match with him, it will be a first.

All of these things he did with Ohio State (and Pryor), but has never come close to doing with any other program.

Then you factor in his silence over the last three quarters of the Alamo Bowl when the ESPN announcers were calling for JT and Andy Geiger to be fired because of all the program "violations" that were happening at OSU related to Clarret (no program violations were ever cited), and he wonders why intelligent, long-standing Ohio State fans (many of whom used to admire him as a representative of the university) want nothing more to do with him?

Again, he brought a lot of this misery (sans the crazies) on himself.

And as a resident of Columbus, I honestly could care less if he lives here. There are far better representatives of Ohio State that remain here, not the least of whom is Clark Kellogg -- someone who does the same job Herbstreit does and does it objectively, with honor, class and dignity.

But clark kellogg can't pronounce the word strength.

Bingo..we have a winner! Herbie needs to learn to have some thicker skin. If you can't take the heat..find another job.

I know its already been mentioned, but I assume Herbstreit can take the heat. His wife and children don't really need to be involved and with his kids getting old enough to be in school (I think), I'm guessing they are hearing crap pretty regularly. There is nothing wrong with wanting to protect his family.

I mean, I understand about the wife and kids and all, certainly doubt that the old lady is hearing shit at Kroger's, thee kids are probably getting the parroted shit their Dad is saying, but honestly, every kid is going to get shit, whether it's because your Dad is a reverse homer or you wear off brand tennis shoes and live in a trailer. It really is a lame excuse...he's moving due to the shit he gets and the wife and kids get by association...that's fine.

And how do you know this? YOu don't. Stop making shit up. Herbie shoulda just moved, and kept his mouth shut about any "MINOR" issues...as he even stated. Hell, this has now turned into a national story because he was running his yap. And as mentioned, Clark Kellogg and many other Buckeyes who do radio and TV such as Chris Spielman live in Cbus to this day. If it was so bad, I wonder why I saw him at OSU bball game vs Wisky yucking it up with fans and his buddies. Herbie is a primadonna.

Calm down cbf, jesus. You are going to give yourself a heart attack.

Count me in the minority who doesn't really see this as newsworthy...

If you didn't go to OSU and you're getting mad at Herbstreit for not "properly representing the Buckeyes," you're a lunatic.

I think Herbie probably speaks for most former players in his dislike of the players "selling gold pants and championship rings." He can be heard on a Natonal stage is the difference. And if a similar situation would happen with basketball, you might hear Clark Kellogg mention being upset about the players actions as well.

I think being a Buckeye, and the Buckeye football program is bigger than these players who have made poor judgement calls in selling the memorabalia... and also bigger than Coach Tressell. Buckeye football will go on, and Herbie understands that it will go on "better" without those who do not "love" the program.

I wish he and his family well. Great vittles in Nashville as well...

what does not having to go to osu have to do with anything?

I don't get how you put your house up for sale 3 years ago, and then you act like you moved in a rash fashion? He was planning this for years regardless.

I can see why he moved. From all the idiots I read posts from on this board and the old JJ.....Im sure people give his family a hard time.

But if he movied because of the idiots, then 3 years ago he felt so harrased the he tried to sell his house. He has just been crossing his fingers for 3 years because of his fear for crazy fans?

At has everything in the world to do with it. Herbie spent four years not only playing for the team, but going to classes on campus. Someone whose investment in the school only consists of watching games on TV, spending $19.99 at Wal-Mart on a t-shirt, having a Brutus blow up doll in their front yard and posting on boards like the OC with an OSU avatar has no business saying squat to anyone who is an alum. He's earned the right to say whatever the hell he wants.

Great point. Herbie goes out of his way to look like a reverse-homer. It seems like he wants the approval/high-fives/etc. of his ESPN colleagues, and he comes across as a college football politician- you never know what he's really thinking.

He sure has- which in turn has earned him the right to have people upset at him and calling him Judas.

Oh, so with that logic, you have no right to criticize any professional team/player you root for, because you have no allegiance, right?

Apples and oranges. It takes some damn nerve for someone who did not go to a school to call someone who did go to that school not a true _______. It would be like someone from another town calling Zach Collaros a fake Big Red (I used that example because I have this idea you are from the Ohio Valley area from other posts, but smaller school if a recall).

You don't think some the stuff he does or says isn't over board? He is one of the biggest critics of osu, which I think criticizing is okay to a certain point. But when you do things like move your alma mater from 7 to 9 after BEATING THE #2 TEAM FROM THE BEST CONFERENCE IN THE COUNTRY..it seems a little out of line. Usually people support the school that they attended.
