Not just lately. Herbie seems to have a soft spot for us. I remember him picking us to win the division in '06 despite the disaster the previous season. Off the top of my head, I know that he also picked us in '15 and '16 as well. I think it's safe to say that any criticism from him is, like many members of this site, due to his high expectations.Herbstreit is feelin TN lately. I think it will be closer than most think.
Corso historically has been a jinx (like he is to a lot of teams), not Herbstreit. Corso "jinxes" teams because he has this tendency to pick home underdogs on College GameDay in order to get the crowd juiced, but they're still an underdog, so they lose more often than not.Herbstreit with the jinx...but hopefully we can prove him right on Saturday.
He does have some kind of soft spot for Tennessee, not sure why. Perhaps because he lives in Nashville? He's been really complementary of JG this week, and I know he did have a big game, but it isn't some huge topic of conversation in the national media that covers CFB. When Tennessee is mentioned on GameDay, he calls for upsets more often than you'd think.Not just lately. Herbie seems to have a soft spot for us.
