ESPN analysts Kirk Herbstreit and Ryan Leaf engaged in a verbal scuffle on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday, a day after College GameDay’s Lee Corso made a pointed comment about the Oregon State–Washington State matchup.
Leaf played at Washington State from 1995-97, and he seemed to take offense when Corso called the OSU-WSU game the “No One Watches Us Bowl.” Corso likely was referencing the fact that the Beavers and Cougars don’t have a conference to call home after this season, but the comment also is open to interpretation.
Leaf, the No. 2 pick in the 1998 NFL draft, reposted a viral video of Washington State coach Jake Dickert’s postgame press conference in which he called out ESPN for Corso’s comments and added his own thoughts to the situation.
