I would answer your question if (1) I had recorded the game, (2) I was currently watching that recording, and (3) I knew at roughly what moment in the 4.5 hour broadcast this potentially occurred. But since (1)-(3) are all are "no", I am unable to help.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:32 PM ^
(4) You could use your time machine to watch the "mauling" (per Herbie) of the Figthings. That would be fun aaaand get you prepared to answer this question.
(5) Call a friend. I'm sure WD knows.
(6) Profit
October 28th, 2019 at 1:00 PM ^
I thought Fowler called it a "mauling"
October 28th, 2019 at 11:15 AM ^
He sure did but he did quickly correct himself.
October 28th, 2019 at 11:16 AM ^
You're old and your hearing is bad. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
October 28th, 2019 at 4:54 PM ^
WHAT!?
October 28th, 2019 at 11:21 AM ^
Was watching MSU vs. PSU before we left for the stadium and the sideline reporter definitely referred to her halftime interview of Mark "Dantoni". Never gets old.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:15 PM ^
Silly reporter. Everyone knows that the name is Mike and they forgot the apostrophe after the D.
Pssh….idiots.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:20 PM ^
I'm fairly confident somebody call Mork, "Mark Antonio" at some point.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:26 PM ^
At this point I really don't even know what is name is.....
October 28th, 2019 at 11:28 AM ^
He very much did
October 28th, 2019 at 11:28 AM ^
He referred to Michigan as Notre Dame at least 2-3 times as well.
October 28th, 2019 at 11:35 AM ^
To be fair, he also referred to Notre Dame as Michigan several times.
October 28th, 2019 at 11:37 AM ^
Too bad he didn't refer to Notre Dame as Michigan's Bitch.
October 28th, 2019 at 1:43 PM ^
I thought "bitch slapping" was a better description than "mauling" too.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:30 PM ^
He's just practicing for when Corso eventually leaves GameDay.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:35 PM ^
Maybe what Corso has is contagious. We'll know if it is when Herbie puts on a elephant head during the broadcast.
October 28th, 2019 at 3:48 PM ^
That’s going to be an epic walk off when it comes.
“Fuck it. I’m out. Laters, bitches.”
October 28th, 2019 at 12:51 PM ^
I assume what threw him off was reality vs his perception of what would happen before the game started. It took him a while for his brain to adjust to his preconceived bias.
October 28th, 2019 at 1:45 PM ^
Herbie kept calling Villain "Kwity Paye" 2 or 3 times until someone whispered into his earpiece.
October 28th, 2019 at 11:29 AM ^
I don't remember when it happened, but he also whiffed badly on a play call, incorrectly calling who had the ball and who was on defense.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:14 PM ^
The best part is that he briefly paused, as if he knew he messed up, but then he doubled down and just kept rolling with his mistake. Sometime in the first half
October 28th, 2019 at 12:37 PM ^
He did it late in the game when the third string was in on defense. I think #18 helped knock the tucked ball out of the back-up ND quarterback (IIRC).
October 28th, 2019 at 1:30 PM ^
Yep, kept calling him Paye but it was Vilain.
October 28th, 2019 at 1:31 PM ^
Yep, he called Luigi Vilain Kwity Paye.
October 28th, 2019 at 1:54 PM ^
They say all 18s and 19s look alike.
October 28th, 2019 at 11:31 AM ^
Saturday I learned that Paye and Villain are the same person
October 28th, 2019 at 12:08 PM ^
Pretty sure they made that blunder more than twice. I know 18 and 19 kind of look the same but they're a solid 30lbs apart and don't look alike even with helmets on.
October 28th, 2019 at 11:31 AM ^
I'm not old enough to know much about Woolfolk. Sam Webb said Leveon Bell and Haskins have similar running styles and I do agree with that.
October 28th, 2019 at 11:41 AM ^
Neither is Herbstreit.
October 28th, 2019 at 4:08 PM ^
Haskins has good vision and showed some ability to let the blocking develop, but no one has a style like Leveon Bell. I’ve watched a helluva lot of the footballs and I’ve never seen anything like that guy in terms of style.
October 28th, 2019 at 11:37 AM ^
He was saying Boo-utch.
October 28th, 2019 at 11:39 AM ^
I heard Bitch Woolfork.
October 28th, 2019 at 11:45 AM ^
As always, there were some miscues from the announcers.
October 28th, 2019 at 1:26 PM ^
Since points aren't working, I'm going to talk about Fight Club. How does a non-controversial statement as the one above get a neg? Was it fat fingered? Is someone that I pissed off following me around giving me random negs? Was it Chris Fowler's mom? I'm just curious.
October 28th, 2019 at 11:48 AM ^
Yes, he certainly did. That sneaky Buckeye gets his shots in. If you listened closely, you also heard him say:
Sainristil has the athleticism of Antonio Ass
Peoples-Jones has the play-making ability of Anthony Farter
Tru Wilson has a heart like Jamie Whoreis and Mike Shart
Haskins reminds him of Ron’s Johnson
Hutchinson is big like Pat Assy
Charbonnet cuts like Tim Biakabupukea
Paye has a little Mark Messturd in him crossed with David Slowens
Jake Moody is like K.C. Yomama
Bunch of back-handed compliments.
October 28th, 2019 at 11:48 AM ^
You know I generally think Herbstreit does a decent job and is pretty fair, but it royally pissed me off that he was trying to discredit Michigan's win before the game was even over by saying ND just didn't show up, etc. Both teams showed up and if anything ND had more incentive to win, they just got their asses kicked by a complete game from UM.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:43 PM ^
We heard the same thing, but I thought he was trolling ND for not having an heart. I thought he road them pretty hard in the second half, which I loved. Kept mentioning how they are not out of the playoffs.
October 28th, 2019 at 11:48 AM ^
Affirmative. I hear they make a little blue pill. It might help you, not with the hearing, but it won't hurt your hearing either.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:18 PM ^
Though you may go blind.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:47 PM ^
Only if you pull too hard.
October 28th, 2019 at 4:31 PM ^
Now you tell me.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:19 PM ^
I give Herbstreit credit for even remembering that Woolfolk wore #24. We're talking about a guy that played almost four decades ago, when Herbstreit himself was a kid.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
I haven't taken the time in years to look at the M Football media guide to see if this is still the case, but it used to contain lists of old players by jersey number. If that's still there, it would be very easy to see all the past #24s. Also, any Buckeye of his vintage is going to be at least aware of Woolfolk (not to mention Herbie calling 'M' games when Butch's son Troy played for us, necessitating the obligatory shout out to Butch).
I like Herbie well enough, but not going to be wowed by this particular in-game reference. That's exactly the type of thing the media guide is intended to facilitate.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
These guys have little microphones in their ears that transmit factoids to them from their research staff throughout the game. Herbstreit and Fowler aren't necessarily football encyclopedias. They may do some research about the teams they're covering during the week, but mostly it comes from their staffers.
October 28th, 2019 at 2:50 PM ^
Possible. But that seems like a random thing for them to say in his earpiece: "Tell them about a Michigan running back who also wore #24, in the early '80s, name was Butch Woolfolk."
October 28th, 2019 at 12:19 PM ^
Double-post.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:01 PM ^
ESPN might want to rethink having Herbie do the morning show followed by the evening game. That’s probably a 16 hour day for him and he’s no spring chicken anymore. I hope he gets a good nap on that private jet he has to take to get from one location to the other.
He did seem very unprepared for the game.
October 28th, 2019 at 12:10 PM ^
"Don Brown switches it up AGAIN with zone coverage, breaking tendency!"...we've probably played more zone than man all year long, good job Herbie.
