It doesn’t appear that Kirk Herbstreit will ever be forgiven by Florida State football fans.
An offseason of zero activity was not enough to cool them off as they wasted no time letting him know how they felt about him during ‘College GameDay’ this Saturday.
FSU and Georgia Tech are in Dublin, Ireland, for the first college football game of the season, and thousands of fans made the trip. One Seminoles fan is being lauded for perhaps having the best sign to make it to the crowd as she suggested that Herbstreit cheated on his wife by doing something carnal to the program.

Why Do FSU Fans Hate Kirk Herbstreit?
There is no love for Herbie at Florida State following what he had to say about their College Football Prospects last season. The ESPN regular was among those who claimed that the Seminoles didn’t belong in the playoffs despite their excellent, unbeaten season.
A 13-0 record and an ACC Championship weren’t enough to convince Kirk Herbstreit that the Seminoles were deserving of a shot in the CFP. And things went from bad to worse after quarterback Jordan Travis’ campaign was prematurely cut short by a devastating leg injury.
Herbstreit refused to back down from his take and even argued with FSU fans on social media, though he eventually offered an olive branch by asking for fans to give the program its flowers for their amazing season.
Clearly, no one cared for it.
