He's a pretty dog but I don't understand why he is now a focal point of their broadcast.

He's getting older. As someone who had to put his dog down last week, if I could have brought my dog everywhere with me th elast couple of years, I would have....

Because dogs are awesome. And it is a fun little side story to go along each week.

Ben has Leukemia and Lymphoma being treated by Ohio State vet school, Kirk wants to spend as much time and make some great memories of his best friend Ben.

I like dogs but dude, do your job. I don't really like hearing you but I definitely don't want to hear you babble while you try to pet your dog on tv

This is probably old man yells at clouds post, but I don't care for it and only because I don't like personally where we are in society of dogs just go everywhere.
I don't like that every time I go to Lowe's or Academy or H-E-B, I see somebody in there with their dog
I don't like that last spring at A restaurant a college couple had a dog sitting with them in the booth and was eating off the table and when I questioned it, I was made out to be the bad guy even though that is 100% a health code violation.
I don't like that I have seen a dog take a chit in a supermarket and when employees asked the owners to leave the store the dog owners became irate.
If a broadcaster brought his dog on the road 20 years ago, everybody would've been like WTF ..now it's just accepted. Dogs can go everywhere
me personally I don't like that
There are people out there who are allergic to dogs, believe it or not. There are people out there who do not care for dogs and when dogs can all of a sudden go everywhere in public they're kind of just forced upon those people.

I also don't like it because it's making an exception to the rule. What if every media member wanted to bring their dog? Would they allow that? Probably not , I doubt they want couple hundred dogs running around on the field before the game or in the pressbox .. so where do you draw the line? Why does Herbstreit think he is special and is an exception to rules?

Wise man once told me .. before you ask or assume you can do something think to yourself what the answer would be if everyone did that.
Good rule of thumb that is lost on our current society where most people think they are special or an exception to rules and expectations.

As a dog lover and someone who has a very strong bond with my 9 year old dog, I 100% agree with you.

She gets to go to a lot of places, but not into stores or restaurants. It's not right.


Sorry that Ben is ill and I'm glad his owner can take him on the road.

Herbstriet sucks donkey balls.

Herbstreit's dog, Ben, is a metaphor for Lee Corso.

Dog talk aside, Kirk was glowing about Elko and Reed at the end of the broadcast. Wish I could recall how he knows Reeds family

Uhhhh, there was already a dog at the game (and at every game) with or without Kirk's dog.

Yeah I think the school mascot is a little different situation than a media member bringing their dog

You, me, everyone with a cable/satellite/streaming service, and Home Depot. Kirk and Fowler flew from Indiana to CS immediately after Gameday. Saban was in Tuscaloosa to watch the Alabama game. Did any of the others call games in different cities?

Where does the Pat McAfee show normally shoot? He flew out Thursday or Friday because he was in Indiana doing his show from there Friday.

I don't think Ben is where the budget takes a hit.

That set is probably what, two, the, four semi trailers? How many crew and production staff flying either commercial or private? Plus the on screen talent
