Sat Jan 11 04:20:00 UTC 2025: ## ESPN’s Herbstreit Denies Using X, But Evidence Suggests Otherwise
**Arlington, TX** – ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit has claimed he doesn’t use the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), stating his son manages the account bearing his name. However, a recent post featuring Herbstreit’s dog at the Cotton Bowl directly contradicts this assertion.
Herbstreit made the denial on a recent episode of On3’s Andy & Ari, insisting he is completely uninvolved with his X account’s activity. This claim has been met with skepticism, particularly given Herbstreit’s high-profile media career. Critics argue that a media professional would not entrust such a crucial aspect of their online presence to a family member.
The conflicting evidence emerged Friday morning when a photo of Herbstreit’s dog, Peter, playing in the snow before the Cotton Bowl appeared on the account. This suggests either Herbstreit’s son travels extensively with him, or Herbstreit himself is actively involved in providing content for the account – directly contradicting his previous statement.
The situation has fueled further debate about Herbstreit’s outspoken support for the SEC and his criticism of his alma mater’s fanbase. Some view this latest controversy as further evidence of a disconnect between Herbstreit’s public persona and reality.
