Herbstreit on 710 ESPN Seattle: "If I made a mistake anywhere, I get offended because I feel like I'm with you trying to help you and your conference get more recognition."

Washington fans did not take kindly to comments made by ESPN’s popular college football analyst, Kirk Herbstreit, during “College GameDay” on Saturday morning.

In response to Chris Petersen’s comments last week about late kickoffs, Herbstreit said the Huskies “should be thanking” ESPN for airing their games at night.

On Tuesday morning, Herbstreit joined hosts Mike Salk and Brock Huard on 710 ESPN Seattle.
