My religious watching of PTI (I know it is ESPN, but Tony Kornheiser is too entertaining not to watch, plus us LIers need to stick together) has led me to view life as a series of "Over/Unders":

• Over or Under: 1.5 seconds

This is the time until that yellow light turns red. OVER. Damnit

It follows then, that when watching our favorite college football personalities on the TV every week, I can't help but wonder, what the over/under is for various events transpiring in their lives.

Today, I'll examine on of our favorite talking heads, Kirk Herbstreit.

• Over or Under: 1.5 weeks

This is the time until one of Herbie's two national championship game participants loses a game. This is an obvious UNDER as Miami (FL) lost to Florida St. in week one. The other team, Notre Dame narrowly defeated Georgia Tech.

• Over or Under: 5 weeks

This is the time until Kirk picks up one of the empty scotch bottles strewn on the floor of the broadcast booth by Brent Musburger and cracks Bob Davie over the head. I'm going to go with OVER. This might come as a surprise given just how stupid Bob Davie can be, but given the fact that Notre Dame fans put up with him for five years, I think Herbie can make it five weeks.

• Over or Under: 2 times

This is the number of times Kirk bangs the bejesus out of Erin Andrews after one of their Thursday Night games. Anyone who watched the Boise St./Oregon game last night couldn't help but miss the playful flirting between these two, so much so that bumping uglies seems unavoidable (if not already yesterday's news). I'm going to go with UNDER here because, the one thing I know about Kirk is -- he's a professional, and he probably has a meeting in the morning.
