Opinion: Kirk Herbstreit's reckless speculation does college football a disservice
ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit offered a bleak projection of an autumn without football Thursday night. "I'll be shocked if we have NFL football this fall, if we have college football. I'll be so surprised if that happens," Herbstreit said on ESPN radio as reported by TMZ. "Just because from what I understand, people

Maybe the reason Herbie takes himself so seriously is that his media brethren take him seriously. All of the college football fans I know are intelligent enough to recognize that just because he gets paid big bucks by ESPN his opinion is no more valuable than their own.
Herbstreit is just facing reality. If the coronavirus isn't seasonal it will still be active in the Fall. If the virus is seasonal it will return in the fall. We might not have football before we get a vaccine.
When and if the health experts tell us it is safe to gather in a group larger than 10 should we even be thinking of going back to what we used to do. No one and I repeat no one knows when this pandemic is going to die down. If there is no football this fall then I will greatly miss it, since I am a GA Football Junkie.
Totally agree Brandon!!
Personally I would be shocked if we don't have football . If we all just do what they are recommending now this will pass through well before summer. Some parts of the country sure, they may be dealing with this and it would probably be much more isolated by then. If it is not they we are truly f'd.
If the reported cases continue to rise and there's probably more people infected that what the latest reports states, then it is not inconceivable that Herbstreit is right. To me, he's not preaching gloom and doom, but I do hope he's wrong.
stop talking BA, writing an article to get paid! SMH Obviously it would stink to have no football, but I would take no football over family and friends possibly dying
Sorry BA.....Herbstreit is likely correct. Dang I hate it, but if I could bet on it I’d side with Herbstreit. My heart sides with BA while my brain says we are screwed for a good while. Go Dawgs!!!
Clearly it's reckless and irresponsible for anyone to express an opinion that Brandon Adams finds disagreeable. In the future all media outlets should send all written articles and video segments to Brandon Adams for his approval before airing or posting them. His is the only opinion in the world that matters.
Opinions are like.........noses. Everybody has one. Mine? I'm not putting it out there on this one. I'm not your Huckleberry this time. I would miss college football like the breath of life. I would also miss my loved ones if they contracted this virus and I lost some of them. There are going to be a lot of tough decisions made before this is over and done with.
I love my Dawgs but I love my family and friends more. Kirk may just be correct. Brandon Adams, not so much.
