How sensitive some people in fanbases get over what a commentator says about their team will never cease being hilarious to me.

Kirk is one of, if not the best college football analyst in the business. He's going to be wrong sometimes, but more often he's right. And I've seen him both praise Tennessee and criticize Tennessee over the years, going back to the very beginning of gameday. He bases what he says about programs based off what he thinks about them in those current moments.

It's his job.

It's nothing to get upset about. There isn't some secret conspiracy where he's rooting against the Vols. It's just opinions in the moment.

I’ve always gotten the impression he thinks CFB is better when TN is competitive.

I’ve always found Herbstriet to be very support of Tennessee football, even during the really tough seasons. I’ve always thought he respected us and wanted us to get back in the mix. Hated seeing him pick Florida, but it’s his job to pick. Some people get their feelings hurt too easily.

The thing that irritates me the most about him is that he never shuts up. Dude talks from the end of every play until the next snap. There is no back and forth with the play by play guy.

He’s not as bad as that pompous a$$ Gary Danielson. I mute all his telecasts.

Didn’t KH back Schiano and belittle our program for not getting behind his candidacy?

Kirk hates Tennessee and Tennessee fans because of the Greg Schiano situation. He said in a tweet in November 2017 that Tennessee fans should shut up and accept Greg Schiano as Tennessee Head Football Coach. Kirk and Greg Schiano have the same Agent.

Years ago KH was maybe my favorite guy to listen to on Saturday mornings. That started to change in recent years with us constantly leftward leanings. it’s not that I’m a die hard conservative as much as I’m just not that political at all and certainly don’t want politics with my sports interest. His over the top comments around the coaching search where he blasted tn fans essentially telling us to shut up and sit down was hard to understand. I’m this day and age we have the ability to make our feelings known and we have every right to do so as we spend our hard earned money with the program. And I’d add to that list fans legitimately knew better than the dumbass AD we had at that time. So it was bizarre for him to criticize us for speaking up.
A couple of years later I lost any shred of care for him I had remaining when he forced himself to cry on national television talking about how black men can’t walk down the street with a hoodie on. Pathetic. Police have around a million interactions with young black men per year and around 30 unarmed black men are killed in those encounters. And most all of them are justified. The number killed unjustly are around the same as any other race. And while any loss of life is unfortunate…the chances of being killed for just being black and wearing a hoodie are about the same as your odds of chocking to death. Very low

I couldn't care less what they say in the studio. Fact is, we had the game won ON THE FIELD where it counts. Up by 11 with a few minutes to play and allowed them to score again and almost win was inexcusable . If that had happened, our coaches contract would have been canceled immediately. I'm enjoying the win, but bigger slices are on our plate. We need to learn how to sustain a lead if we get it.

I hope your employer is more rational in your job reviews.

I much prefer that Florida ALMOST beat us to the alternative. I’ll take ALMOST losing to the fun we had under our previous regimes.

I liked him disliked think he’s okay really at least he’s been on the field as a qb no less has done credit played for a great program like the team behind Bama with most nfl players I think so he’s credible wouldn’t live in Nashville if he hated us so much imo
