Unable to copy directly due to some computer issues, but was stunned to see @KirkHerbstreit's tweet entitled "My Top Performing Teams of Week 1":

1 UCLA Bruins
2 Virginia Tech Hokies
3 Georgia Bulldogs
4 Iowa Hawkeyes
5 NIU Huskies
6 Charlotte 49ers
7 Penn State Nittany Lions
8 UTSA Roadrunners

Is he getting smarter or is he just trying to suck up to us now?

yeah I'm sure Kirk Herbstreit is trying to suck up to all 10,000 NIU fans for something he said a decade ago

You guys need to let it go. Its over.

Kirk is a Ohio State Alumni. Can’t blame him for not seeing past his Power 5 goggles. Him even acknowledging us is definitely a compliment. I don’t hate him anymore than the other commentators who crap on the mid majors.

Just giving credit where credit is due.j

Is that just a list of teams that won in upsets?

I've hated Herbstreit's talentless ass (on TV or turf) every day since his P5 tantrum.

And if he didn't put a 17.5 point dog in there as a top performer, he'd be what? Bigger ass?

Wear your Herbstreit can bite me S. Beach T with pride, but let it go, especially when the guy is giving an an honest assessment.

We're like elephants. We have long memories.

What Herbstreit thinks of NIU football - you have me confused with someone that cares; I truly don't care what he thinks about NIU football.

^^^^^^ This.

Herbstreit is fine. The only way I’d be upset with him again if he went out of his way to say that the Georgia Tech win wasn’t a big deal for the NIU program.

It is great to have NIU in the college football conversation again. Herbstreit is paid to be confrontational ... so yeah we need to let it go.

I hate that MFer…

He didn't do that to be confrontational....he just has the typical P5 pundit attitude. He's not going to gain ratings by dissing on NIU. We don't move the needle.

Jesse Palmer is worse than Herbstreit.
