Kirk Herbstreit was a quarterback for Ohio State in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He then joined ESPN after he left the Buckeyes and has been there ever since with College GameDay and in the booth for college football’s biggest games. And yes, he’s talked about Ohio State a bunch over the years.

If you thought Kirk Herbstreit just somewhat liked Ohio State football, think again. He’s a self-proclaimed “junkie.”

Kirk Herbstreit and Ohio State's fan base have an interesting relationship these days. The ESPN college football announcer played collegiately at Ohio State. His dad, Jim Herbstreit, also played at the school and later coached under Woody Hayes.

Ohio State football is part of the final four teams in the College Football Playoff, and Kirk Herbstreit is loving every minute of it.
