Love seeing Michigan and Ohio State alumni speak to each other like this. So professional and cordial. Respect to both. I'm a huge Buckeye fan but I was rooting for UM against Alabama. I admire Saban and Bama immensely. Them and Georgia have been the gold standard in CFP... especially Bama. But it's nice to see some new blood.
Same here I'm a Mich fan I always love Herbie in his analysis on the college game. I respect a lot of former Buckeyes Chris Speilman who is helping with my Lions in the front office, Robert Smith him interviewing Blake Corum last year which was awesome interview on YT and Eddie George and the list goes on. Love the respect of the players by both schools once they hang up the cleats.
I think you'll see more Big10 champions going forward. SEC had tremendous advantage over the other conferences due to recruiting practices. With transfer portal and NIL, Big Ten should be more competitive recruiting talent to their conference.
Michigan fan here - we hate each other but deep down we all know we respect each other. Not that anyone would every say it out loud tho.
Go Blue.
I'm a Michigan fan, but I pull for all the big 10 schools in their bowl games. My wife (an OSU fan because I have lived about an hour north of Columbus my whole life) has told me I'm no longer allowed to pull for them though. The last few times didn't work out so well.
I'm a Husky. I've been to four Wash vs. Mich games. Have always respected Michigan football and their fans. This is a great match-up.
Washington is going to beat Michigan & reminder world of a once glorious conference that no longer exists. Also under any other circumstances this would be the Rose bowl and that's really cool pac-12 Big 12 matchup
"The team, the team, the team!"
I am a life long Michigan fan. Kirk is not only my favorite Buckeye, but also one of my favorite people in sports broadcasting and analysis. He is an analyst who is not all about tearing apart a team, coach, or player. He is a breath of fresh air in today’s sports world. Go Blue!
Loved what he said about the Rose Bowl at the end of this. I was lucky enough to go to the game with my grandpa in 2004 to see Michigan vs USC. I was only 11 but that was old enough to appreciate that where I was and what I was experiencing was special
I was there this year. Pure magic.
Yeah, it's special... But what a bad venue by modern standards. Terrible video boards, terrible audio system, terrible parking, terrible amenities.
Didn't know Kirk had called more Rose Bowls than Keith Jackson. Jackson is the Rose Bowl.
Yeah, I'm a Washington alum (senior year was that '91 championship season)....but NBC with Dick Enberg & Merlin Olsen were the crew for bulk of the 80's, before ABC and the awesome Keith Jackson took over. I say Jackson IS college football itself :-)
@@RodEJr Keith Jackson was an old Husky broadcaster before going national, I used to love to hear that affection for the Dawgs come through in his voice on national TV despite keeping things so incredibly professional. What a gem.
@@R.InstroKeith is my favorite announcer and his love for the Huskies was unmatched by any WSU alum. Go Dawgs!!
I've been watching Longhorn football for 60 years and Penix and his receivers ARE the best offensive group I've seen since Joe Burrow and his receiver corps, and I never thought I would see another group that good, but here they are. That said, I do not see the Huskies being able to defend the Michigan run game, a run game that put over 260 yards of rushing offense on Penn State, the top run defense in the country.
My Longhorns had 2 top-tier interior defensive linemen in Sweat and Murphy. Michigan has 8 guys like that on defense; so, the Huskies are going to face a much better defense than they have seen to-date. That said, I do believe Penix will get his points. I think the team with the stoutest defense wins this game and that favors Michigan statistically.
This aged well. Exceptional comment.
This is gold. Thank you for putting this together.
Good model of a civil conversation between a Buckeye and a Wolverine. Well done Kirk and Rich.
Hope for 'Merica
Go Blue!
Classy, intelligent,
And heartfelt conversation. Respect, my good men. Go Blue!
I've been telling my boys who play football... if you want to be a champion, look at how the Michigan players talk about their team and their teammates. Blake Corum is always talking about how he loves his guys. Hutch used to say, "We're doing this for Michigan!" I think that was what they got wrong pre-covid and what they are getting right now. They have built a real team. It's everything Schembechler used to say but in a more modern way. Play for each other, love each other, love your school and you will be a champion. And when you are a champion, the NFL will want what you have because you're a locker room builder. Not a guy that tears things apart trying to get his.
Well said. Go Blue!
Go Blue!!!
As a Michigan fan I’ve always appreciated Kirk so much he’s so non biased but also such a pleasure to listen to call games. I’ve grown up listening to him and being a fan of his and I can’t wait to continue to hear him call games no matter who’s playing
Very gracious and accurate analysis. Should be a great game, going to either teams winning.
Herbie is just a class act. would never know he was a OSU alum, very neutral when talking football.
Wow, that was an awesome take when he said the SEC folks were like okay we get it now in regards to the Rose Bowl atmosphere...LOL. Glad the bama fans was able to enjoy the Rose Bowl despite the losing in OT in a classic game.
As we walked out of the rose bowl, my son said he’s bringing his future grandchildren lol
Hopefully, the stadium will still be standing by then.
Kirk has always had my respect. As a buckeye alumn he finds a way to call games and report on pre and post game interviews without to much bias. As a MICHIGAN fan, and an Ohio native it's great to see what he has done for not only CFB but Ohio high school football. Much love and respect Herby
Team loyalty both Michigan and Washington have it. Oregon State Ohio state and other had guys either sit out or enter the transfer portal. Both Michigan and Washington had players come back for another year with a purpose it is a shame 1 of them will lose.
OSU has a lot coming back this year and had only 2 sit out the cotton bowl.
@@cumulus1234Eighteen Buckeyes have entered the transfer portal.
Awesome Interview! Kirk Herbstreits is College Football!!!!
Rose Bowl should be natty every year, outside on grass no matter what the weather does... thats what football was meant to be. In fact all games should be outside on grass, nfl and college both. The injuries would be reduced dramatically. Then they could loosen up on the penalties and allow people to hit and tackle again without a flag on every other play
Enjoyed Kirk Herbstreits takes on the Michigan program, Harbaugh and soecifically the comments about getting players to appreciate and value the team/school in today’s college football culture. The player led focus of great teams. He has great insight from experience. Super episode! A Michigan man and Ohio State man having a great discussion! Go Blue!
there better be a Kieth Jackson booth
One of my favorite podcast Rich you have alot of class Thanks for what you do it keeps me wanting to tune in Go Blue
One of my favorite buckeyes, herbie. Classy dude. Go blue!
Nothing classy about that fraud - he’s ruined the sport.
Kirk will always have a spot in my heart his voice is so iconic especially when I used to play the NCAA football games as a child and hearing him commentate
If I remember correctly, at the begging Kirk said that MI does need to change anything, keep doing what we were doing, they should win the national championship. WOW, I always respect Kirk.
In the last 5 years, I have gone from hating Herbie to absolutely loving him. Idk if it’s age, changes on his part, changes on my part, or what. But he seems to take life the right amount of serious for me.
He’s a grinder, and that has allowed him to become the best announcer especially for college football imho. Watch the rose bowl highlights and pay attention to his breakdowns on plays. He instantly notices an insane amount of subtleties for each play, for example; pointing out missed penalties in a way that’s not vindictive or necessarilly even “calling it out.” He keeps it even-keeled on it. BUT what he’s 100% mastered is the art of sounding like he’s shootin the sh*t with you at the water cooler the day after the game when the replay’s going. As a michigan fan I’ve always despised him, but over the last five years he’s easily become my favorite announcer.
Hopefully you’ll wake up and see the significant damage he’s inflicted on the sport with his relentless and ruthless promotion of a backwoods trailer park conference. College football was so much better before he and his network screwed it all up.
@@LoCoVANole angry, bitter words directed at a large chunk of the country pretty clearly announce you’re not impartial, and that I shouldn’t take your opinion/comment seriously.
@@CBG_63 I couldn’t care less what you think. It wasn’t your school that was slighted and demeaned so you have no right to judge. ESPN and clowns like Herbstreit have been a cancer to college football for more than a decade now and everything they do - everything - is calculated to line their pockets. The man is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and I honestly have no respect left for him - he went too far this time.
As much as I like Kirk Herbstreit calling the Rose Bowl game. He's not the greatest, that will always go to Keith Jackson "Whoa Nellie"
Go Dawgs!
These Michigan fans are in for a rude awakening!
PURPLE REIGN!!! W
We went to the Rose Bowl whenever Michigan State played Stanford. We had great seats on the broadcast booth side. Not only was it a great game, but half the time we were distracted by the beauty of the venue itself. Never been anywhere like it before. So breathtaking as the sunset. Everyone should go to the Rose Bowl game once in their lives.
herbstreit acknowledged the importance of the team culture even though he didn't call it that explicitly. it's a shame that he had to move out of the state of ohio because some buckeyes made death threats because herbstreit dared to be critical of osu.
Herbstreit, pure class. One good Buckeye.
Was gonna say the same thing. Great guy all around
class? 🤣🤣🤣
Kirk’s analysis is so spot on. Appreciate it so much.
What a good guy! I got mad love for Herbie.
East Coast Media finally discover Washington.
Can't wait! What an awesome championship matchup. We couldn't have 2 better teams!!!
Going to be an amazing game! All big ten national championship 🏆
That Joe Moore award is a curse. Go Blue!〽️
I said no thing, I know he was an avid competitor to our Seahawks, but he left pro ball for a reason, you know. And he has been extremely successful at Michigan.
Kirk is the goat. Go blue!
My favorite Herbstreit comment is: 'This is either going to be a run or a pass Chris.' :)
Yes no one close to Keith jackson.!
I feel like Rich would get along well with Portnoy 🤣
… especially if they’re talking Michigan and Patriots
As a Michigan fan, I hope coach stays no matter what happens on Monday.
UW baby let’s goo!!!!!
This season made me realize alot of people dont watch games other than their team. If u watched other teams all year it should be no surprise these 2 have made it all the way
Love Herbie class act
Washington is going to piss off Michigan fans
I won’t be pissed off as a Michigan fan after we spank Washington.
@@sheneedsmethat ain't happening you will be shocked
@@sheneedsmeI want that same type of energy after Pennix goes for 450 yards and 5 passing touchdowns and the win🤣🤣🤣🤡
Disappointed for sure. Pissed? I dunno. If Washington wins they will have earned it. I hope my wolverines give em a good game. Washington are dogs. Amazing what they've achieved with their talent
Washington can score 40 and still lose. Michigan is #12 scoring offense. I just dont see Washington scoring 40 on the best defense in college football.
Rich, here is a question for you. Jim Harbaugh wins the College Championship and John Harbaugh wins the Super Bowl. Jim goes to the Chargers and John goes to Michigan. Possible?
John doesn’t have the same ties to UM. Doesn’t make sense to me.
@@colehowe His father was a coach at Michigan his brother is a Head Coach at Michigan. What more do you want? Saban had no ties at Alabama until he was made Head Coach. You make zero sense.
Lol no way in hell
John Harbaugh will never have to coach college football. Ever. He'll likely be a HOF NFL coach, truly.
The issue with Harbaugh going to the NFL is he has to win a national championship. Then it takes 3-4 years in the NFL to have success.
Rose Bowl = host natty every year 100%.
As a diehard Buckeye fan, I am sick of hearing about Buckeye fans that are being unreasonable and having actual hatred towards Coach Day personally! He and his family are great people, and we are just talking about him as a coach, not at all about him as a person. 1% of fans of any team are always the loudest and they never represent the fan base as a whole! Do we want the best for our team...absolutely. But that doesn't make Coach Day a bad person! Hope we can put it all together and win this year because this is the best team we have since his first year as our head coach. And it doesn't happen we will probably move on. But Day is doing the best he can with the cards he has been dealt, not because he is a bad person, just because we look for the best from our couaches at OSU. Go Bucks!!
Michigan is gonna be boring and run until Washington can stop them.
Texas should not have been trying to get style points. If you get 6 yards a carry, stick with it.
Keeping Penix off the field is a sound strategy.
I agree totally and do not understand Sark's strategy. I think Michigan will win with the same run game that put up over 260 yards of rushing offense on Penn State, the best run defense in the country.
Kirk definitely makes it sound like he thinks Washington is going to win. They could. If Michigan can’t stop Penix then Washington wins.
Long, slow drives. Keep the ball out of Penix’s hands. To me, that’s the key.
Yep cant give him 15 attempts to score. Limiting his time will make his margin for error smaller. Quartbwacks can get ancy when they want to get on the field, then tend to throw more picks @@mroberts566
@@mroberts566 everybody had tried to do that all year… hasn’t worked
@@SuperMan-pv9fiArizona State?
They also thought bama would stream roll Michigan .. they were trying to set up Michigan for a loss against bama .. the ncaa can stick it where the sun down shine
Gonna be a good game Monday, but Michigan was literally built to beat a team like Washington a la Ohio State 3 years ago, elite QB and WRs. We match up better with Washington than we did bama or texas IMO
Feel the same way. Gonna come down to if UM can get to Penix quick, and if Washington can stop the run whatsoever.
@@colehowe yea pressuring Pinnix will help, but seems like everyone forgot the quote from Harrison Jr. And how michigan "locked him down" continued edge play will be a huge factor. Probably one of the most underrated parts of Michigans game. But could mean the difference at the end of the game
What is not being mentioned is both teams were one play away from losing their game! It will be a great game but they did barely got to this game! Michigan was one play. Better the Alabama, Washington was one play. Better than Texas!! It has been a great playoff so far!!! Portal SUCKS…
Rich, I love your show even if you are a Michigan and Jets fan, lol ! But I am NOT a Herbstreit fan. He always - at least in college games - seems to have a favorite pre-game and calls the game with that slant until it is blatantly obvious he was wrong from the get go. His call of the blowout of Tennessee by South Carolina in 2022 is a shining example of that....
I talked to a lifelong OSU and sicks by Ryan Day.
This is the guy OSU fans ran out of town. Nutz
I dont see Michigan scoring 30 plus... and I dont see Washington being held to less than 3 touchdowns...
I would take the over on Michigan scoring 30+. It would be kind of shocking if both teams don’t score over 30 points.
@@drewblue1164My prediction was 34-31 Huskies so that checks out
Well you don’t know jack then. We will move the ball and score on that defense.
@@youdontknow7190and the huskies will throw deep on Michigan’s db’s🤷🏻♂️huskies will match every touchdown and get a stop here and there on the defensive end. Washington wins on monday
@@youdontknow7190 100% agree with you.
Herbstriet is one of the few I can stand to listen to...
Go blue, 🏆
Rebrand the Big 10 to the Big North Conference
Huskies have to win, this is the last game of the OG pac 12......its only fitting we throw michigan and the big 10 a beating
5:22 isn’t Penix like 37 years old by now? I swear it feels like he’s been in college since 2005.
Where's Al Michaels???
All the talk about Michigan players being together... as if WA players don't have similar bonds. Tsk tsk tsk... take off your blinders.
No Penix hasn’t seen every defense
correction: does not need to change anything
Go Blue! 〽️
Stephen A. is an Alabama frontrunner fan. How dare he say to move the Rose Bowl.
22 good to great players playing together, will beat a handful of all stars, 100% of the time. Take it from someone who watched Matt Stafford and Calvin Johnson lose the only playoff game they made in a decade and finish with a sub .500 record.
We know Kirk is great at hus 37 TV jobs, but sometimes it's too damn much about the X's & O's. Lighten-up, dude: There's room for silliness & laughs in the games too...
Michigan is in trouble with recruiting and winning ifvSherronebMoore Is the next coach...
It would be gigantic mistake( not enough experience or a big name that will help keep recruiting numbers up.
Husky Fan, here: He should stay at Michigan, he is doing so well there. And the NFL is a meatgrinder to college coaches. I feel the same about DeBoer.
DeBoer is an amazing coach. Happy y'all are in the Big ten and we'll get to play again. Good luck Monday. Go blue 😊
NFL owners are nuts@@RustyShackleford-nf1yz
Pete Carroll and Jimmie Johnson would disagree.
@@kryer981 about what? JH and PC are long time rivals. I don't imagine PC to have anything good to say about Harbaugh
@@GoldFoilDecendent Disagree about the NFL being a meat grinder for college coaches. I guess Barry Switzer would disagree with that, too.
Michigan 250 plus rush yards and wins 31-23
Washington over 400 passing yards wins 41-34
@@LILCRIM3232he threw for 430 vs Texas with no turnovers and Texas had multiple chances to win that game or at least tie.
Washington by 14. Battle tested and too much fire power for Michigan who hasn't face an elite QB all year not to mention their far weaker strength of schedule.
@@steveandersen996 Michigan avarages about as many ppg as Washington with half the possessions Washington has had ….
@@steveandersen996where do you get that Washington had a tougher schedule than Michigan? SI lists michigan at 51 and Washington at 54

Go DAWGS!!!!!
...he belongs in the pros. i hope like HECK he moves back to the pros. How cool would it be to see him competing in a Super Bowl against his Brother!!! Come on... how much fun will that be...
Done it before
Why does he belong in the pros? Can't he just stay and keep building.
Derp
Bet
Michigan has the veteran advantage, defensive and coaching advantage. Washington is awesome but Michigan wins the national championship.
I do agree
Kirk Herbstreit is the face of modern college football
26 years in waiting.....Go Blue !!
Michigan had a very nice team this year, that cannot be debated. However, if the school and athletic department are ok with how they achieved their success maybe Conner Stallions, Chris Partridge, and Uncle T should lead the team out on the field for the championship game. Your victories appear hollow to the teams that played by the rules. Enjoy your "championship " though.
Didn’t need them to beat the teams they beat on the schedule, then beat Penn State, OSU, and Bama after the scandal. I’ll have no problem loving every second of this championship if Michigan wins. This “cheating” thing is ridiculous.
If you can rationalize the teams cheating, more power to you. I will paraphrase Bo Schembechler, "either you have integrity or you don't."@@KyleDeMeritt-cc4ff
M GO BLUE! Let's go Wolverines! Beat Washington! I think its going to be a tough hard fought game.
So it’s not named after Keith Jackson? Seriously? Herbstreit is second tier to the greats. I don’t get it at all.
55+?
48-17 Michigan
Kirk can’t hold Keith Jackson’s microphone.
Ohio state is fine, just didn’t have a great QB. The defense got fixed this year. If they had a top tier QB with a mature Marvin and healthy Henderson with that defense they would be unstoppable
Who cares?
I lived in Columbus for 20-years. Your comment is a stellar example of the unbearable obnoxious fan base. Nobody cares.
Some facts for ya!
2024 = 10 year anniversary since last title.
Lost to UM three years in a row which equates to over 1,000 days and counting.
12 players in transfer portal
OSU is officially under NCAA investigation for allegedly gaining access to opponents Catapult practice footage.
The golden era of Tressel followed by Urban are OVER.
2002 title was first in 38-years
Last but not least! “THE” pinnacle of embarrassment! Google up the end of the 1978 Gator Bowl.
Kick rocks
@@ReadingsbyDom NC in 1968, 1970, 2002 and 2014 for OSU. No OSU investigation which is a deflection from the rotten Michigan media trying to deflect from Michigan’s real violations of illegal spying at opposing stadiums and using a supercomputer for analysis.
@@ReadingsbyDom Hmmmm. Might you be talking about the moment Clemson linebacker Charlie Bauman got to meet Woody Hayes?
Go DaWgs!
Head coach suspended 2 times in 1 year for cheating and wins a natty. I'm not a fan of either team. College football is on a downward spiral! It's a pay to play video game.
Michigan’s is winning this game.
Yeah not happening buddy🤣🤣🤣
I've got Michigan 33 and Washington 23.
@@BadAssBuckeye LOL. If Bama can score 20 and Ohio State scored 24, ain't no way Washington only scores 23. They are FAR better than those teams on the offensive end.
@@LILCRIM3232 you don’t know jack then. Michigan has a great defensive line and we will get to Penix. Is there line very good yes but we will get to him just like when he was at Indiana. Michigan actually has a secondary unlike Texas. Also, we’re built to be a team that are better version of Ohio State. Our offense will move the ball and will score points and will limit them to possessions and kicks again you don’t know Jack Michigan’s winning.
@@steveandersen996 yeah like you know it’s really gonna happen. Michigan will get pressure. They will force fuel goals while we were touchdowns were built to beat this team.
Appears defense matters! How ironic? Jerkstreit is a joke
I've lost interest with the way he hypes up the championship game
Why did Mr. herb sound like his pet dog died every time Michigan made any type of a good play on offense or defense ??
TV will be muted as normal. Herbstreit will find a way to mention Ohio State in some capacity. HOWEVER! There’ll be no mention of OSU being under NCAA Investigation for allegedly gaining access to opponents Catapult practice footage. That’s OSU-TV (espn) for you.
To name the booth after Herbstreit a disgruntled Buckeye that went (0-3-1) against Michigan over a class and professional man that named it the “grand daddy” - Keith Jackson is pathetic.
Indoors venues are ruining the sport. They’re advantageous to offenses. They have no identity. Too many injuries. You don’t even see a player get their jersey dirty. Boycott indoors venues for football.
Michigan is about to get one more heartbreak
😂😂😂😂
Who’s arse does he have his head up now?
Kirk thinks everyone is good
As someone who played D3...they're all better than me
