The online idolatry of her — not seen since Anna Kournikova's cyberspace heyday — runs along the lines of Wayne and Garth, from Wayne's World, saying if she "were a president, she'd be Babe-braham Lincoln."

Yes. Nailed it.

What's even more notable is Andrews own admission that Kirk Herbstreit has a "Timberlake-like" following with college kids. She even says that while she was a spritely co-ed and wannabe sports reporter at the University of Florida, she got a little overwhelmed in the presence of Herbstreit's seductive aura: "My camera didn't work the first time I got a photo with Kirk Herbstreit and, oh my gosh, I'm freaking out..."

All should heretofore bow to the panty-dropping power of Kirk Herbstreit. He's a golden god in a gray-tinted world full of Fowlers and Corsos.

See, GameDay was in Eugene, Oregon for the Arizona State-Oregon game, and he was slated to be the analyst in the booth for the Boston College-Florida State game, which began roughly at 8:00 eastern. He had eight hours to get from Eugene to Boston. Follow my fuzzy math through his journey from the West coast to the East coast:

GameDay ends: 12 noon.

I'll say It takes him 3 minutes to shake off his headset microphone and get to his courtesy van: 12:03 p.m.

Google Maps says it's a 23-minute drive from Autzen Stadium to the Eugene Airport: 12:26 p.m.

I'll give him 15 minutes to get from the curb into the plane and dispose of his oversize tube of toothpaste: 12:41 p.m.

Another 4 minutes for tower clearance, demonstration on how seat belt works: 12:45 p.m.

A commercial flight from Portland to Boston's Logan International Airport is around six-and-a-half hours, so I'll give the same time from Eugene to Boston: 7:15 p.m.

QUICK! GET IN THE VAN! MOVE MOVE MOVE! 7:30 p.m.

It's 24 minutes from Logan to Alumni Stadium: 7:54 p.m.

Another three minutes to run from the courtesy van into the press box: 7:57 p.m.

Game begins: 8 p.m.

And that's how you do guesstimation on a grand scale. I'm sure at least four of my calculations are wrong, but I'm counting on two of those miscalculations offsetting the other two.

If you want to give credit to ESPN somewhere in a "at least Mussolini made the trains run on time" fashion, the Worldwide Leader gets their sports personalities to the press box before the game begins, no matter what.

But man, did they cut it close. Maybe next time, he should take the company teleport.

CORRECTION: Commenter and No. 1 fan "Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price" points out that a flight from Portland to Boston is 1½ hours quicker than its round-trip counterpart on account wind resistance. So Herbstreit probably got into Alumni Stadium around 6:30 p.m. Told ya I did something wrong.

I promised you more Kirk Herbstreit vitriol, and here it is. During Thursday night's Virginia Tech/Boston College game, Herbie delights in verbally lighting up Virginia Tech linebacker Brenden Hill.

Hill's the guy on the field dancing to music being played by the Boston College band in celebration of BC's 20-3 lead at that point. I guess Kirk Herbstreit would prefer that he ran immediately to the locker room when Boston College took the lead, and hung himself from a light fixture.

Herbstreit really seems to be enjoying himself there. It feels like Herbstreit is just aching to use profanity. If this had taken place on HBO, he'd have probably called the guy a pussy.
