Did Cowherd ever eat crow?

[lightning1]

Frontrunner? Yeah.

Bandwagon guy? Yeah.

Does he reach with his analogies? Absolutely.

Bad case of homerism? you betcha.

Headline/ soundbite guy with no indepth anaylsis? omg yes.

With all that said, dude knows his college football. If he picked Iowa to win or lose it was probably well thought out or good reason why or why not.

If he had the time to devote to watching enough college FB, I would agree with you. You can tell when he has actually watched a team enough to discuss them intelligently. That only includes the PAC10 and the SEC. Anything out of his mouth regarding any other team, in any other conference, is crap.
He only takes the time to watch the teams in his major markets and its painfully obvious.

You must realize that Cowherd spends a lot of his time discussing the PAC 10 because that is the majority of his audience. He is on the radio when the west coasters are commuting to work and I believe is on ESPN 2, just like the Mike and Mike show is here in the moring. I am willing to be that the majority of sports talk listeners are just listening in their car or on tv, rather than streaming all day long.

The SEC-centric blog Hey Jenny Slater is counting down the most loathsome people in college football, and the host of The Herd is #31. This is coming from a Georgia fan:

31. Colin Cowherd
Charges: Of the national radio hosts who cover college football, perhaps none have more open contempt for actual fans of the sport than Cowherd, a self-satisfied ****** fountain who apparently got a laugh out of his friends in fifth grade for making fun of the new kid in class and has been convinced he's a genius ever since. Spits out ad hominem attacks and knee-jerk overgeneralizations with the speed (and precision) of a gang-banger spraying an apartment building with a TEC-9, without so much as a hint of remorse or humility (or even an acknowledgment, period) when he's proven wrong. Alternates between raining contempt down on those who've had the temerity to express their fandom through blogs and bogarting their best material. Basically, he is what would happen if sports-talk radio created an amalgam of the Omega Theta Pis from "Animal House" in a lab, only without the athletic prowess or ability to do something funny even by accident.
Exhibit A: Insisted on his show that Will Muschamp was going to become the new head coach at Tennessee earlier this month and that he "had the text message to prove it."
Sentence: Sold to the MSI Mace corporation of Bennington, Vermont, as a subject for pepper-spray testing.
