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.


You can thank Disney and a soft society for this. Dogs are great and have helped man for most of history but that was work not their feels. Today we have grown ass men getting in touch of their emotional side and not really working for their families ti survive. Good times create soft men. Man are we having good times it seems.

Yes, we should go back to the times of hunter gatherers when life was good.

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.


The best vet school is right here!

I had a Golden Retriever from championship bloodlines.
At 15 or so she started having seizures, kept her going, seizure free, for another year.
They started again, and she seized all the way to our DVM's office, where we had her relieved of pain!

I'd bring my dog to work if they'd let me.

Kirk and Ben. Love. Leave it alone. Ben doesn't have many days left and Kirk knows it.

I have a cat and I wouldn't take her anywhere.

Is Kirk single? If he's married, leave the dog at home instead of carting the pooch all over the college football landscape. Doesn't make sense to me.

Put Herbie down, let the dog do the broadcast.

Pay him extra if he marks his territory on Reese

Maybe because he's carting his dog around is the reason

Schools/NFL are getting into it. The sideline passes are great

Ben Herbstreit:
  • goodest boy
  • Wide retriever
  • Chief happiness officer
  • Golden receiver coach

I know this is the zoo, but come on guys! You're giving a man crap because he takes his terminally ill dog around with him as he travels ??? I think you need to give Herb a break, and his dog too ! Let's try a little compassion and empathy for a change...... I know, it would be big change for the zoo.


The ONLY valid ANNUAL goal for ALL Aggie Sports is a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!

Kudos to Herbie for protecting his dog from the rotisserie spit rod.

I'll go one further.

Out here in California, we're obsessed with our dogs like they were people while allowing people to lie and **** in the street like dogs.

The pet anthropomorphism alongside degrading humanity is just another sign of our declining culture.

The next step is to make a damn statue of your deceased dog and start worshipping it.

If anything they should be adding more dogs to the broadcast
More dogs, less Herbstreit

I would never take my cat anywhere with me and that would be his strong preference. My dog on the other hand gives me the stink eye anytime I don't take him with me and if I could take him to work with me, I absolutely would although my wife wouldn't like it because she wants him to stay home with her.

Because contractually, he IS above the rules that apply to others. ESPN isn't flying everyone private. ESPN isn't let any of their other on-air talent moonlight on Amazon NFL games.

He has leveraged himself into being contractually more special than the rest of the ESPN staff, so he gets to do whatever he wants.

Kirk is still married to his wife Alison. They've been together since college.

Just saw his Insta that his dog does have cancer and has been in the ER. He's lost all function in both his back legs and Kirk is doing anything he can but doesn't look good. So sad. Labs/Retrievers live about 10 years and then cancer usually gets them.

No person should live to see their dog die.
