Kirk Herbstreit, ESPN’s CollegeGame Day mainstay, jokingly tried to hide on a Zoom call with reporters, and of course that’s impossible to do. But he really wanted to avoid the hot-button issues of the Michigan football program, where it goes from here, and whether coach Jim Harbaugh can still get the job done in Ann Arbor.
Herbstreit and Chris Fowler will call the Michigan-Wisconsin game Saturday night at Michigan Stadium for ABC. GameDay is originating Saturday morning from The Masters.
“Don’t ask! Don’t ask! Please don’t ask!” Herbstreit said, laughing when he knew he was about to be asked about Michigan during the call Wednesday.
