Ohio State Fans Chased Kirk Herbstreit Out of Ohio, and Now, They’ve Chased Him Off Twitter

1-liner, All, College Football, ESPN, Fans, Twitter Jason McIntyre April 29th. 2011, 12:30pm

Kirk Herbstreit: Remember how the troglodytes in Columbus chased former Ohio State QB Kirk Herbstreit out of Ohio earlier this year? They’ve now chased him off twitter. Herbstreit, who was pretty active on twitter recently, suddenly deleted his account yesterday. He went on 1045 The Zone yesterday and talked about the perils of social media: “The day I moved from Columbus I decided to pick up twitter and get involved … then, when things broke down on Monday … I haven’t been on for two or three days … for me to have to sit and defend if I love Ohio State is the most asinine thing … I’m going to stop engaging with a lot of the fans for awhile.”

I read this as “I’m taking my ball and running home…to ABC where I’ll defend Ohio State during broadcasts of other games and Brent is too busy wondering if he’s going to cover the spread to stop me”.

Have we jacked a thread for hockey yet? We can’t find it and I need to bitch about how right I was that the Preds can’t get any quality possessions.

This is funny, because Spencer contends that many OSU fans don’t like Herby as he’s a “fake Buckeye.”

I didn’t watch much of the game. It seemed like the Nucks were getting all the PP’s early and Rinne channeled his inner Hasek.

I don’t know if he realized it when he moved, but after UTenn fans, when you go to bars in Nashville, you see Alabama, Florida, and then (surprisingly) Ohio State fans. They are all over the place. Fucking Terminix couldn’t get rid of them.

More or less, though I don’t think the PPs did it. Seemed more like the Preds couldn’t get a single even strength shot/possession for the first 50 minutes, with two guys chasing the puck and no one to center it to. The one goal Pekka gave up was a 3 on 1 or something where the defender picked the wrong guy… never had a chance. He was impressive, but Nashville really needs a 40 goal scorer, and I don’t think Erat/Fisher (or Sullivan/Legwand/Geoffriyon) is gonna be that guy.

The Gruden camp was awesome when he couldn’t name a long play and said we use numbers. Fucking hilarious. I can’t wait when he’s asked to read a paragraph pre-snap and his head explodes.

Hey Geeez… is Ward the worst player in the NHL? I’m beginning to think that slow skaters with poor puck-handling and a penchant for turnovers and taking the wrong angles don’t have a long future in the league.

He throws the ball better than Young, but I do agree that they mirror each other a good bit. I do think Cam has a much better head on his shoulders than does Young. VY has way too much crazy in him for my taste.

PS, I do think Suter played well from what I saw, and had a good play to stop a goal. I just hate all our forwards. It may take some breaking out by Legwand, who had a couple dumb plays last night, to have a chance.

VY could wipe out Clown’s family and laugh about it to his face, and before he was taken to prison, Clown would ask Vince to sign his Sports Illustrated commemorative issue from 2005.

The first two periods last night were all Canucks – and Rinne. Such a different game from the ones the Canucks and Hawks were playing, but not at all unexpected. Sedins have to get on track here though – enough is enough with the lack of scoring.

I guess. I don’t know that I’m upset or happy with it either way. the Titans needed a qb and they got one. he just may suck really really bad. the Titans also need a lot more too. it probably would have been better to get somebody like Nick Fairley at 6 and then wait until the second round to take the best qb left. hell, Locker may have still been there by then too.
the good thing going for the Titans is that the Texans and Jags are in the same division.

Wide Word of Sport (?) Says:
April 29th, 2011 at 1:08 PM
The Titans just better be damn sure that they think Locker was the best QB in the draft. If so, no use taking the chance and waiting. I do think they should have moved back a few picks, because I’m sure someone wanted Fairley or Smith, and would have given a 2nd rounder for that privilege.

the only thing wrong withh the locker pick is that it was about 50 picks too high. when you have other needs, and see what was still available, even ‘best athlete available’ would have been better
