Did anyone else see Kirk Herbstriet live on TV in the middle of the OK earthquake?

I can appreciate the humor in almost everything, but I'm almost positive that one isn't going to go over so well.

I disagree. It demonstrates the complete shock and astonishment that all associated with college football, from the lowest staff interns to the most respected analysts and coaches, feel over this story. When someone who was previously so widely known and nearly universally respected is found to have behaved in such a reprehensible manner over such a long period of time, the backlash can be palpable.

I would argue that that has been the case with this story. Right now, there is no one thing in college football that can ignore the specter of Jerry Sandusky peeking over its collective shoulder. Recruiting? Big games? The race to the BCS title game? No, no, and no....Sandusky is lurking in the background of everything.

It's impossible to argue that it's not the foremost issue not only in the world of college football, but in the world of sports in general. Is a graphical representation of the shock that we all feel in poor taste? Some may say yes, but I say nay. Life isn't sunshine and roses. Sooner or later, no matter what we do, we will have to face unpleasantness. Whether that's in the written word or in a graphical representation isn't the point. The sooner we can all recognize this discomfort and address it properly, the better we will all be.

Flawless.

Humor is how you get through times of trouble.

Trying reading the story Laughter Out of Place for those of you who thinking laughing at tragedy is such a bad thing, you will feel vastly differently and understand that there is no such thing as "too soon"

I don't think it's a bad thing. I only pointed that it probably wouldn't go over well around here. Two very different things.

I don't know if I would have remained as calm as he did. But he stuck it out like a champ.
