Kirk Herbstreit was not always the ESPN analyst/raging Ohio State homer he is today. Back in his glory days (1989-1993), Kirk Herbstreit was the QB for the Buckeyes (he was actually the first player to commit to then newly-hired head coach John Cooper)- and that was the genesis for the non-partial “impartial” commentator you see now. But Kirk of yesteryear has something in common with Kirk of today – they are both really freakin’ hot. Piercing blue eyes hot. All-American good looks hot. Tall, broad shoulders hot. Take your breath away hot.
After the jump, see a video of Kirk back when he used to wear the tight grey football pants of tOSU, running the ball against Minnesota in 1991. Awww, he’s got the tOSU attitude down pat! (and go Buckeyes! beat the hell outta Georgetown tomorrow!)
Oh yeah, he’s a hottie.
Hmmm. Not so hot for me. That second pic Metschick posted made me think of woodchuck or something.
Go Buckeyes!
Kirk Herbstreit is in my Top 5, easy. But he’s probably the only blonde guy in my whole list. It’s his eyes- they’re so very pretty.
GO BUCKS!
I dunno, I think I’m diggin’ Lee Corso. Wait, did I just say that aloud? Crap.
Man, that video just made me even more sure that Herbie will be my second husband.
Chris Fowler totally owns the hotness of College Gameday.
Herbie forever! And then, as far as college commentators go, I have to go with Craig James.
2002 Red River Shootout…Herbstreit exits the Gameday stage, and two Sooner girls standing next to me ask him for a picture. He obliges. I say “can I have a picture too?” He obliges, and one of the Sooner gals take my camera and does the honors. After he leaves, the three of us briefly forgot our differences and shared a moment of “OMG THAT BITCH IS SO HOT!”
The Moral:
Kirk Herbstreit’s hotness brings enemies together
More recent Buckeye’s QB Justin Zwick looks alot like Herbie.
Justin has that blonde, blue eyes, broad shoulder thing going on. Heres a salute to the hotest QB at today’s
Ohio St, Mr Justin Zwick!!
Herbie is like stalker hot….
He makes a sane women think about stalking him which is scary.
Craig James…have you seen those blue eyes in contrast to his brown hair and tanned skin?!
Ladies you are too kind about my little brother, Kirk. For those of you from the Great State of Texas…we were raised with a flag of Texas in our back yard, Texas-shaped cake pans, ice-cube trays, etc! When corrected we were told, “boys, you’re only HALF YANKEE!” Family’s farm was in Grapevine, Tx…Colyville I think it’s called now…just outside Ft. Worth.
