    Don't know the ramifications of this yet. Does not seem right to me. Also needs to be said Herbie still hates UF since we ran his beloved Buckeyes out of Glendale Arizona in 2006-07.

    I recall him saying that he "didn't see it coming."

    Even in the deep offseason, this is just an "eh.."

    If the recruit had committed to UGA, Herbstreit was simply telling the father that his son's word doesn't mean squat. Of course the word "commitment" means nothing anymore in the world of college athletic recruiting. They should replace the word with "inclination" or "thinking seriously about" or "unless I change my mind."

    Yeah but we kicked their asses for a basketball national championship too. We owned OSU

    Herbstreit hates the SEC so much that he continues to make big bucks calling their games and giving the little blurb on the tail end of the comedy videos.

    The funny thing is that you know he has to thoroughly enjoy his involvement in them.

    Thet difference between us and LSU is that Ohio State had been anointed the greatest football team in history. Everyone north of Kentucky was saying it should be a OSU-Michigan rematch. After the opening kickoff it was 41-7.

    Heard he was on Finebaum doing damage control and he never tried to sway him.

    My answer to this is, so what? Unless Nebraska was paying Herbsreit to do it, why can’t an independent sports analyst — who’s not affiliated with the NCAA, any conference, or any university — give a parent free private advice on where a prospective athlete should go? Ultimately, it’s up to the student in any case, not his dad or Herbstreit.

    I think Kirkstreit should not use his position or the national stage he is a big part of to influence any recruit to a particular school. I’d be mad as Hades if he had tried to influence Lagway somewhere else.
    It would be like major network news anchors promoting their narrative instead of reporting news. Oh, wait a minute…

    Is there evidence of this or is it just speculation?

    Don’t you know, everyone in the media hates UF? It’s in their contract :)

    One more thing about all this... noise about Herbstreit's supposed role in. Dylan Raiola is a Nebraska legacy, so... how come Herbstreit gets that much play in all this? Because he spoke his mind about it to the kid's father? Lol...

    Because of his position he should be Avoiding situations that would open him to accusations of bias. Of course we know that ship sailed long ago
