October 18, 200619 yr For someone who is supposed to be a college football guru, he said a couple of things today that made me scratch my head. First he stated mark it down that Troy Smith would be the 1st QB taken in the draft over Quinn, etc. I guess thats not too bad, but I just don't see Smith as the type of QB that NFL coaches are looking for that high. I just don't see how Quinn or Brohm (if he comes out) wouldn't go before him. Secondly he gave his top 12 teams as follows: 1. Ohio State 2. Michigan 3. Tennessee 4. Texas 5. Florida 6. Southern Cal 7. Auburn 8. West Virginia 9. Wisconsin 10. Notre Dame 11. Nebraska 12. California. Everyones entitled to their opinion, but how can an alledged college football guru leave Louisville out of a top 12. In spite of injuries to their top 2 players they have pretty much rolled through their schedule. I'm not a UL fan but that seems pretty ignorant to me.
October 18, 200619 yr I think this guy is starting to buy his own hype. His content is on a swift decline IMO...
October 18, 200619 yr Author I really hate that if any caller disagrees with him he acts like they are stupid. I guess I still miss Tony Kornheiser during that time slot.
October 18, 200619 yr The Herd is by far the best show on ESPN Radio... As for his top 12, I thought it was well done. He doesn't look at wins and losses, and sometimes not even head-to-head on someone else's field. I wish more people would vote like that. Is Florida better than Auburn? I think so even though they lost to them. I'm surprised he had WVU and USC that high to be honest. Cal is better than both of them.
October 18, 200619 yr I really hate that if any caller disagrees with him he acts like they are stupid. I guess I still miss Tony Kornheiser during that time slot.It took me a while to get warmed up to Colin, but I do like his show. Nothing will compare to Tony in this slot though. TK was my favorite. Never missed his show.
October 18, 200619 yr I really like his show when I get to listen to it. He says a whole lot of things I simply dont agree with, but hes usually entertaining. He also usually puts a different twist on things than most people do.

October 18, 200619 yr I like to listen every now and then, but I don't like it when the callers who disagree with him, he makes them out to be stupid, as strike-3 stated. If you guys are familar with John Boy and Billy, they tend to do the same thing. And some of their callers aren't that wise, but too much is too much. Eventually, your goint to kick so mant before they decide to listen else where.
October 18, 200619 yr This is why I listen to Fox Sports Radio on channel 142 on my XMRadio.... Cowherd likes to spark the fans, but then doesn't really give them any credit when they disagree. Troy Smith will NOT be the 1st QB taken....and Louisville is certainly better than at least Wisconsin and Nebraska....you know what, I don't care what the nerd said anyway.

In spite of injuries to their top 2 players they have pretty much rolled through their schedule. I'm not a UL fan but that seems pretty ignorant to me. They should roll through that schedule!! :confused: Heck..UK could probably play that conference and get 5, maybe 6 wins. Miami (Not the same anymore) But a good win. West Virginia (the only tough opponent). Good luck with that. Rutgers?? Dont talk to me about "undefeated" Rutgers...their schedule is worse the UL's. They are pretenders. Kansas State was a good nonconference win. Pittsbugh maybe is the real deal, but they usually choke themselves. The Big East is NOT a football conference. But i'm rooting for the cards!! They deserrved better BCS and Nat Title shots 2 years ago then they do this year.
October 18, 200619 yr But i'm rooting for the cards!! They deserrved better BCS and Nat Title shots 2 years ago then they do this year. Except that they are better this year than the 2004 team.
October 18, 200619 yr They were..until everyone got injured. haha. I don't know. Maybe they still are. I don't expect to see them in a BCS bowl game. It would be cool, though!
October 18, 200619 yr :thumb: He just wants a reaction from listeners, and he's good at getting it. I like him. He does like to get them riled up. Funny guy. He's a Southern Cal homer!! Kornheiser??? Man do I miss The Fabulous Sports Babe!! :lol:
October 18, 200619 yr Author This is why I listen to Fox Sports Radio on channel 142 on my XMRadio.... I have that option also but to me Craig Sheman and James Washington aren't that entertaining. Cowherd is at least entertaining, but I can't stand it when be makes rediculous statements and then lashes out at anyone who doesn't agree, at least let them have their say. Thankfully during Cowherds last hour, FSR replays Steve Czaban. He's one of the best in my opinion. Even though he often strays from the world of sports, he is usually pretty funny IMO.
