LOOK: Kirk Herbstreit rips fans on Twitter who say they're sick of seeing Alabama vs. Clemson
Alabama and Clemson have separated themselves from the rest of the pack in recent years, and will now meet for the fourth-straight year in the College Football Playoff.
This year will mark the third time the Tide and the Tigers have played with a title on the line, and the game should be a lot of fun.
However, some fans are tired of seeing the two dominant programs play, and took to Kirk Herbstreit’s Twitter account to vent their frustrations. Below, you can see the tweet that started the complaints to the popular ESPN analyst:
Congrats to both @AlabamaFTBL and @ClemsonFB on advancing to the National Title.
Most of us expected this to be the most likely match up back in August and now we get it.
On my way now to Pasadena for the @rosebowlgame first!
Pumped and honored to call both games!— Kirk Herbstreit (@KirkHerbstreit) December 30, 2018
Many fans, though, don’t share Herbstreit’s enthusiasm for another Alabama-Clemson rematch. But, whether fans think more teams deserve a shot or say that the game is “boring,” Herbie has the same advice — find a team that can beat the Tide or the Tigers:
Completely clueless. Change will come when someone beats these teams. Craziness. https://t.co/JzUWsoMTjp

Haha!!
Yeah last years game really sucked. OT thriller with heroics everywhere. Some people are nuts. Why can’t people just enjoy CFB??? Just enjoy the sport and the competition and storylines?? Why is everything an issue or conspiracy??? What a miserable way to live your life. https://t.co/7t1TaLJo2V— Kirk Herbstreit (@KirkHerbstreit) December 30, 2018

Oh I get “buddy”. This is my life. This is all I do. While you’re at work or doing whatever the hell you do..I’m watching film, talking to coaches & players, talking w/ AD’s and conference commissioners. Trust me I GET IT! And yes I made it clear BEFORE the bowls UGA should be in https://t.co/vfR0fZF7qz

So, how do we avoid another thrilling and exciting title game (which is what some fans want to do, for some reason)? In the words of Herbie… “BEAT THEMMMMMM!!!!!!”
