Kirk Herbstreit berates LSU fans throwing trash vs Alabama: 'Enough is enough, clowns'
View Date:2024-12-23 20:38:43
Kirk Herbstreit has had enough of seeing fans throw trash onto the field to protest calls against their teams.
The ABC announcer berated both Texas and LSU fans after the latter threw trash onto the field at Tiger Stadium during Saturday's game between No. 11 Alabama and No. 13 LSU in Baton Rouge.
The incident occurred after LSU appeared to sack quarterback Jalen Milroe on third-and-8, which would have set up a Crimson Tide punt to give the Tigers the ball back trailing 21-6 in the third quarter. But a facemask call on Sai'vion Jones negated the sack and gave Alabama 15 yards and an automatic first down.

After replay showed Jones' infraction — it was not an obvious facemask penalty — Tigers fans in attendance began throwing trash onto the field. It's the second time home fans have thrown trash in a nationally broadcast game, with Texas fans throwing trash during the Georgia game on Oct. 19. Curiously, Herbstreit and Chris Fowler called that game as well.
"Why does that have to become a thing this year?" Herbstreit said. "Some idiots do this at Texas, and now all of a sudden we see it popping up in college football. Enough's enough, clowns. Just, what are you doing. This is just stupid."

The ABC broadcast also showed LSU cheerleaders defending themselves from trash by holding signs over their heads.
"It's great," Herbstreit said. "That's your home cheerleaders. Just embarrassing to LSU. It's embarrassing to college football. And, just around the country, enough's enough."
Fowler also noted on the broadcast how Texas was fined six figures — $250,000 — and surmised LSU would face a similar penalty from the SEC.
