🏈 Herbstreit on McElroy...

[252BAMA]

On Alabama: "I love (quarterback Greg McElroy). I think Greg McElroy will be one of the big surprises in the SEC this year. I think, as a junior, he has enough experience, just being around the program, being around John Parker (Wilson), being around (offensive coordinator) Jim McElwain to understand what this offense is about. ... I think he's going to have a huge year."

Herbstreits really knows what he says. He's one of the best analysts in college football materia out there...

RTR,

I agree with his assessment. We'll know more in a few days. :td:

Kirk does a good job of trying not to be a Homer like so many others. I have the feeling he will be dead on with Greg.

Agreed you can tell and he does not hide the fact his love for Ohio State which is great he brings that passion to his anylist duties.

 

[UAgrad93]

True, Mongo, he doesn't hide the fact his school is Ohio State but he doesn't go predicting them to win it all. He studies the game and the teams and has a very good idea of what he is saying.

He is one of my favorite guys to watch on gameday and during the games.

Herbstreit's one of the best, like to hear that.

Not going to make predictions or anything but I like what I've seen from Greg in practice. Can't wait to see what he's got on the field.

He does TRY not to be a homer. He is a homer at times, but I guess in today's media, trying should count for something.

All in all, I like Herbie though, except for the fact he works for a monopoly which regularly goes after us and influences opinion against us. Other than that, I think ESPN is just dandy.
