Kirk Herbstreit said Ealy played both sports at Ole Miss and was dominant in both sports. Ealy has batted .182 in just 22 at bats in his career.

Sometimes I wonder if these announcers watch the game, know the game, know the rules, etc. Or do they just make stuff up as they go? I see it every game. They just throw crap out there that isn?t remotely close to accurate and expect us all to agree.

Yeah, he'd better stick with football. He can play at the next level with his feet and speed.

Do you know how hard it is to know more detail about everybody on every team in the nation? Kirk doesn't think twice about ole miss except for this week

An asst. producer is whispering this info into Herbsteit’s ear and he repeats it. That is it.

Yeah, even though lots of people on this site thought it was a "done deal" that he was a first round draft baseball pick, so it was no big deal if we lost out on him.

Ely should go pro after this season.
He is NFL ready now.

Ole Miss actually tries to market their program and brand. Maybe we should give it a try.

Ding ding ding.
This is pretty openly talked about in baseball circles too. Their SID for baseball is in overdrive in January.

Not their fault they've got people actually doing their jobs. We just sit here with our okie dokie bullshit a lot of times.

It's more about the nature of the position than anything. Backs that stay for four-five years in college can sometimes get worn down because of the punishment that they take. See JJ Johnson

It's much more economical for many RB's if they just go pro and get drafted in the 5-6th round and use those bullets in the NFL instead of college. Plus, the NFL doesn't value RB's like it did 20 years ago. So most RB's have a ceiling well below the first round unless they are an Adrian Peterson freak talent. So most of them don't have a high ceiling as far as the draft is concerned whether they go pro or not. They have a short shelf life in the NFL as well in general too. Most are out of football by age 30.

It would be nice.

I have no problem with them being overhyped every year. Only to fall on their face every year.

Football is similar. Nobody would guess they've only finished ahead of us in the sec 2 of the last 11 years, but it's true.

Herby is a corporate cartoon at this point.

He's just an NCAA 2013 video game that calls the game. There is no thought process

They visit with coaches and say what they say. Om is really good at feeding the media talking points

Herbstreit was good when he first started out. Now he's kind of a douche. He rambles and lathers up in makeup. Hard to listen to that entire Gameday crew really. That show needs completely reworking.

I don't see it either. I'm not even sure he gets drafted. If he does, he will be a bust IMHO.

Agree, they should have started over when Reece took over.

I like Herbstreit a lot. He calls things like he sees them. His biggest flaw used to be that I thought he went to far out of his way not to be a homer for the Buckeyes at times.

One has to understand what he is doing though. He is using the talking points given to him by someone. Was it an Ole Miss source, probably. We do the same stuff, our guys just may tell the truth.

Here is the thing, if they make him look like an idiot, he just might remember who fed him the BS that got him called out. I know I would remember that stuff.

I read he was run outta Columbus for that...

I think he does an excellent job except when displaying fake croc tears...

Yeah I agree. I mostly like Herb but I still remember his "but they are playing the #1 team in the country" comment as he pulled out the Auburn cowbell when they visited Starkvegas. He also led the charge if I remember correctly last year trashing us over the Tulsa stuff. Maybe I'm wrong.
