FSU fans don’t let Kirk Herbstreit get a word in edgewise without being overwhelmed by boos

FSU fans don’t let Kirk Herbstreit get a word in edgewise without being overwhelmed by boos

College game days are back.

Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban and Kirk Herbstreit were front and center at the ESPN College GameDay desk, but this time they were in Dublin, Ireland.

The Emerald Isle had given the CGD crew a warm welcome all week, and McAfee had apparently drunk “30 Guinness” the day before.

On the group’s very first trip abroad, everything went like clockwork.

That was until Herbstreit opened his mouth.

FSU fans immediately began to harshly attack the former player turned analyst.

Every time Herbstreit started to speak, he was greeted with brutal boos.

This broadcast was Saban’s first time at the desk as an analyst rather than a head coach, but he let everyone know he was excited for the change.

Earlier in the week, Saban attended Florida State and Georgia Tech practices ahead of the teams’ meeting at the Aer Lingus College Football Classic.

Herbstreit reportedly had to field hundreds of calls when the Alabama Crimson Tide advanced to the College Football Playoffs last season instead of the Seminoles.

Saban let everyone in the crowd know that Herbstreit had nothing to do with the decision.

“He had nothing to do with them not making the playoffs, and neither did I,” Saban said.

The fans were not deterred, refused to believe Saban’s statement and vehemently attacked Herbstreit.

We’ll have to wait and see how Herbstreit feels after two or more hours of booing from the Seminole crowd.
