Kirk Herbstreit Has Strong Words For Mike Leach Over Bowl Brawl

Kirk Herbstreit didn't hold back Friday morning while addressing the Tulsa-Mississippi State bowl brawl and how Mike Leach handled the situation.

"Mike Leach should be embarrassed," Herbstreit said on College GameDay. "His postgame interview and what he said — ‘Hey, it’s football…eh, it’s physical, it’s going to happen.’”



"This is a black eye for the sport," Herbie added. "Maybe you don't care about the sport, dude. It's as bad as it can be watching that.

Leach doesn't see it as a black eye. He thinks it's just football.

"Well, I mean this is a football game. So we're not going to be tearing cloth over this deal. I mean, ya know, someone went to a football game and somebody got hit. I mean, you know, there's a point where I'm not going to lose my mind over it," Leach said after the Bulldogs victory.
