Kirk Herbstreit fires back at Ohio State fans |
ESPN commentator Kirk Herbstreit called Clemson's hard-fought 29-23 Fiesta Bowl win on Saturday night.
After the contest, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day and many involved with their program were upset on a few questionable 50-50 calls. They thought a few calls hurt their chances for their first ever win over the Tigers (Spoiler: kicking FGs in the redzone was likely the main difference maker). Herbstreit responded to several Ohio State fans that were calling him out, saying the calls were part of a larger conspiracy theory with the refs and ESPN wanting Clemson in the title game. Herbie wasn't playing around in the following tweets on Monday: It’s truly amazing people like you are real. If ESPN has its way I said what I thought during the game. Looked like a catch and fumble to me. I don’t understand how it was overturned. But there were a lot of things that impacted the outcome of the game. But that was the one call that I didn’t agree with at all. https://t.co/OrRIZ3VSJu AGAINNNNN Phan I said on air and I said it on here the missed the call. Was shocked they reversed the call. How else do you recommend I be more clear??? Bizarre you actually think this is true. Truly ridiculous. https://t.co/viUDBnPmQv Ohio State rates better than ANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY team in CFB!!!!!!!!
Ohio St would be in EVERY national championship game!Ohio St=RATINGS!!!!
The ridiculous notion that ESPN is out to get the B1G or Ohio St is comical.
People cannot be this ignorant. #Sheep https://t.co/ZbTOjtuC4j
As far as Urban he’s a friend of mine-I don’t control what everyone at Espn says or does. https://t.co/yYLy4ZizDL
To think ANY network wouldn’t want them is laughable. https://t.co/2UgsIOgIt2
