To tell you the truth, I only watch ESPN's College Gameday to reinforce my belief that the East Coast media bias really exists.  I won't get into discussing all of Gameday's flaws here (that's the subject of a future post), but thought it was pertinent to discuss all the chatter this week about poor 'ole Kirk Herbstreit! 

 You can read a couple of good blog posts at:

After reading all of them, I couldn't stop thinking that Herbie's gotta go!  Hmmmmm!  That tune sounds familiar!  Oh yeah, Aerosmith!  By putting two and two together, here's my humble attempt at writing a parody worthy enough for Weird Al Yankovic. 

To the tune of Aerosmith's "Janie's Got a Gun", we have "Herbie's Gotta Go!". 

NOTE:  If you don't like (Lee) CORSO, MARK MAY, (Desmond) HOWARD, (Lou) HOLTZ's, (Chris) FOWLER, or even (Jesse) PALMER or (Reece) DAVIS, substitute the appropriate name in bold and make up your own lyrics! 

Herbie's Gotta Go

Dumb, dumb, dumb, Herbie you've sunk so low
Dumb, dumb, dumb we know that you're a schmo.
Dumb, dumb, dumb, Herbie when will you go?
Dumb, dumb, dumb it's the sound

Herbie's gotta go
Herbie's gotta go
His mouth is full of blow
A rumor from some 'ole Joe
What did Kirk Herbie do?
Miles won't be Maize and Blue!
They said when Herbie's soul recanted
they found him underneath a desk
But man, he has it comin' So now Herbie's gotta go
didn't OSU just hire this pest?

Herbie's gotta go
Herbie's gotta go
His dog day's just begun
Now everyone's in on the fun
Tell me now it's untrue.
What did 'ole Kirk Herbstreit do?
He smacked a little bitty rumor
This man is full of buckeye pooh
They say the spell that he was under the lightning and the thunder knew that Herbie sabotaged the Blue

Go away, go away go away from our pain yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Go away go away from our pain yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Go away, go away, go, go away

Herbie's gotta go
Herbie's gotta go
His dog day's come you know
Now everybody wants him to go
Why help out LSU?
'Cause he's got a low I.Q.
He tried to take Les down easy to keep from rakin' in the dough
He said 'cause nobody believes me. This man is such a sleeze.
Herbie's always gonna be a schmo.

Go away, Go away from our pain yeah, yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Go away go away from our pain yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Go away, go away, go, go away

Herbie's gotta go
Herbie's gotta go
Herbie's gotta go
Everybody is in the know

Herbie's gotta go
His hair's a poor man's fro
Now 'ole Captain Kirk must make it so
Because Herbie's gotta go
Herbie's gotta go
His replay ends the show
'Cause everybody wants him to go
Herbie's gotta go
