Kirk Herbstreit was on the call for ESPN on what was an emotional day for the announcer as it was his first one back on the job since the death of his beloved dog, Ben.

Herbsteit was emotional for other reasons during the third quarter when he rightfully called out LSU fans for throwing bottles on the field after a call by the refs went against the Tigers.

"Just embarrassing to LSU, embarrassing to college football. Just around the country, enough is enough."

Herbstreit is right, that was embarrassing and it needs to just stop.
