I think some people hoped he would have been a little more vocal on Ohio State's behalf. I was one of them. In retrospect, he was in an extremely difficult position... literally caught in a war between his employer who has provided him with a great living and every guy's dream job and his beloved alma matter. I know at the time, I was [censored]ed off at him... looking back, I think he handled it about as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Sure, he made a stupid comment about recruits not wanting to come here with the offense, but I imagine he said that out of frustration. Besides, I'd bet a lot of fans were probably thinking the same thing to themselves.
In my "walkthrough" (gameday prep for next Saturday), I'm sitting here watching my DVD of the '03 Fiesta Bowl while sippin' on a few beers. This DVD that I bought off ebay includes the Game Day one hour pregame show, as well as the SportsCenter that followed. It is amazing to me how spot on Herbstreit's pregame analysis was. He called how the game would play out almost perfectly. He is bar none the best at what he does.
And how Mark May is on television is beyond me. He and Albert's comments during last year's Alamo Bowl will forever be unforgivable IMO. They actually managed to ruin for me what was a great Buckeye bowl victory. Whenever they're on television, I get so [censored]ed off that I tune them out and I can't even tell what they're saying... but I know its absolultely stupid.
