Does no one remember about 12 years ago when Herbstreit "pimped" Troy Smith for the Heisman every single weekend? He would not shut up about how great Smith supposedly was and that the Heisman race was over by week 10 of the college football season since it was clear that the award was Smith's to lose.
Smith eventually won the Heisman and I (for one) took such glee when he was exposed as the POS QB he was when OSU played (and got absolutely obliterated by Florida) in the BCS Championship game.
Of course, Herbstreit wrote off Smith's bad performance by not having Ted Ginn to throw to since Ginn was hurt & left the game early in the 1st Q after celebrating a TD.
