looked kinda dejected after the game. ESPN boys only get excited when one of their favorites win especially if an SEC team wins even if against another SEC opponent. ACC is near the bottom of their list of conferences and they would be much happier if both Bowdens were still coaching Tigers and Seminoles.

Obvious bias.

I generally like Herbie ok, think he's fairer than most, but

it really did seem like he favored ND quite a bit.

I watched the replay last night...

And I do not remember hearing that. I thought he said this thing isn't over yet. I also remember him letting Tiger fans know that the Renfro catch was incomplete. Yes he was laughing and smiling, but I think the discussion at that time and Tiger fans looking to him for the call is what brought on the smile. I don't find Herbie is biased at all. I think he tells it like it is on every team, including his own beloved Buckeyes. I just don't see it as bias at all.

I really enjoy listening to him. I think he is fair too and we don't know what he was smiling at. Sure some of the fans were keeping him entertained. I think he really likes Clemson and their fans.

He's a Clemson fan

He doesn't show it much, has to be even...but he's a fan and has said it many times. He's just not going to be all that enthused calling a Clemson game.

I'm not sure I'd go that far

but I do think he genuinely likes and respects Dabo and the passion of our fan base.

IMO, Herbie is about the best of the newer generations of announcers. He seems fair to me, calls a good game and knows his stuff. Also, he's openly said he loves us - I remember him saying before that Clemson would absolutely be a campus he'd send his sons to.
Some of you guys read into this stuff a bit too much.

Stop being so thin-skinned and baby-ish.

Herbstreit did a good job, was fair to both teams, he's trying to present the game to a national audience most of which don't have a dog in the fight.
Relax, we get plenty of respect.

He showed at gameday he loves clemson. He said college gameday should be in tiger town every weekend. Don't over think it. Announcers say we as in "U.S. and the viewers". You always hear "we have a blowout" "or we have ourselves a game!"

To be fair.. he said that in this context
Oct 5, 2015, 4:27 PM

He said somebody must have sent a note to ND playcallers and he was "quoting" what they said to them.
He also said at another point "We thought we would have to run Deshaun Watson more", speaking for Elliot and Scott

Herbie is a Clemson fan, but he can't announce it. Thought he did a great job!

Herbie loves Clemson and if anything tries not to be.....

too bias toward us....not a big deal if he doesn't pump us all the time. I think we may have let him down a time or two when he went out on the limb for us and may want to be a little less enthusiastic picking us to win!
