BUY KIRK’S HOUSE!
Kirk Herbstreit has his Columbus, Ohio home for sale, meaning he’s got either upgrade or transfer plans afoot for the Herbstreit clan. TSD’s not sure where he’s going, but the pics of the place make it seem like a nice buy even in the worst American real estate market in bleems. Is that a horseshoe-shaped stairway with a horseshoe shaped archway at the top? Yes, yes it is.
Herbstreit construction: homes for men, and their highlights.
Tressel’s house in in there, too, and sadly there’s no visible brothel, trebuchet big enough to fire a man with, or fountain of blood in the picture. Those must be in the back.

Those houses are all ugly, ugly, ugly, and that Katzenmoyer guy’s looks like it was built cheap as shit…nice fake chimney on your 650k house, dick wipe. Tressel’s faux-chateau is OK but the one on top with the big ugly garage door in the front really takes the cake for the “shitty architecture” award.
I just get aggravated when I see people spending a lot of money on a house and get a piece crap that some developer slapped up between doing lines of coke and going to tax evasion meetings with his accountant.

1. I believe that the article stated that Herbie bulldozed the ugly house, only to build something slightly less horrible.
2. That would be Andy Katzenmoyver (sic), the Ohio State LB who wore #45 as a freshman I believe, big deal up there.
It is no as if Katz is an accountant, hence the relevance.

Former realtor’s opinion:
The interior of Kirk’s new home is giving me a Feng Shui hemorraghe. Excuse me while my cerebral arteries rearrange themselves. The sale of his former home probably doesn’t cover inflation, so he’s just breaking even.
Sweatervest’s home: Oh, how I hate super high roofs with enough shingles to blacktop an interstate.
Katzenmoyver’s: Windows are all over the place, roof is too busy. Not much for modern designs.
Spiellman’s: The cobblestone facade is money.
LeClaire: N I C E condo. From one goaltender to another, you’ve got good taste.
Malotra: Ditto.
The rests are just practices in excess.

Well, I bet Herbie’s new place is a schmuck McMansion built with crapmanship like most McMansions these days.

I’m pretty sure shitty craftsmanship is inherent to ALL McMansions.

Rumor has it he is either upgrading to a less conspicuous area of Columbus or moving to Bristol CT where he can pal around with his fellow TV hacks. Erin Andrews lives in the Dunwoody, here in the greater ATL. Thanks for asking.

The house is probably 15 minutes max from the shoe.
It is a nice neighborhood and Ohio is very well priced to the rest of the country. I don’t know how or why people pay more for traffic and dinning options in bigger cities. The idea of “culture” in America is a joke. Give me sq footage and land anyday.

rfp @ 12 – you’re mistaken on two counts.
1) It’s Ohio that I would object to living in, not the midwest.
2) I’m an inside-the-Beltway elitist, I-95 is what you endure to get past Baltimore and Spotsylvania county.

MCab- I’m with you on the roof of CJT’s place. It might not be so bad if the driveway-to-eave measurement weren’t 1/3 of the roof height. Looks like a short Texan with a reeeeeally tall hat. As for Herbie’s, that has to be a side view, as there’s no way somebody would build a high end house that ugly from the street…even in Ohio. At least, I hope not.

15 –
A lifetime of living in the midwest has made me realize that even though cheaper real estate and less traffic is great, there are parts of this country where is sunny and warm nearly everyday of the year, not to mention with beaches, mountains, and deserts all within a 2 hour drive of each other.

I just bough a 5 acre parcel out in “Taint Lick Meadows.” It was formerly a landfill during the 50’s, but from what I hear its been cleaned up, simply gorgeous…and we’re only 5 minutes from the new resturaunt park they are putting in…gonna have a Fudruckers, a Lonestar Grill, a Chi-Chi’s, and ooh, my fave: Reb Lobster. Plus, there are 4 Starbucks within 15 minutes drive, and there is a Target down the street — Talk about convenience. The school system in the county is excellent, but whatever; my kid’s are goin’ to private school, I don’t want them associating with poor people. My office is 30 miles away and the traffic’s a complete BITCH, but I got the new Excursion with the full interior package and Bose sound system, so the 75 minutes a day Ill spend in my car will at least be comfy. Yea, being an American is fuckin’ sweet, that’s what I’m talkin’ about.

Oh, and Kirk’s ex-house sucks. Horseshoe bullshit and all.

We all know he’s moving to Eugene. As he stated at College Gameday “no humidity in Eugene”. As an Oregon grad, no I’m not biased. Once you get passed the hippies, it’s a great place. Unlike Berkeley, our hippies plant trees, they don’t live in them.
Go Ducks! Eugene is your home Herbie!

DC Trojan #29 — I would assume the guy from “Taint Lick” either works for a faceless corporation doing, IT, or maybe corporate sales — not that there is anything wrong with either. Really, that guy can exist anywhere in the USA, from sea to shining sea. Beltway Bandit is a good possibility for our mythical friend, indeed.

“McMansions” is a term invented by bitter yuppies in NYC and Boston as they try and convince themselves that their 600 sq. ft. 3rd story walk up is actually worth paying $2000 a month in rent.

That Parsons Realty link is 2 years old.
I have driven past all of those houses, and regardless of what the pictures show, Herbstreit, Tressel, and Spielman all have amazing houses. Herbstreit’s new house is hardly a “mcmansion” and looks very nice. My only surprise about his house is that it is close to the road so he probably doesn’t have a lot of privacy. That is why Tressel moved supposedly. To many people stopping at his house and bothering him (Buckeyes fans? No way that’s true.)
Spielman’s house is very nice looking on the outside and he has a great yard.
Sad to hear Herbstreit is moving. Hopefully he’ll be back in Columbus at some point. Bristol,CT is no place to raise a family and my guess is property taxes are 30 times as much as Columbus. Plus, he doesn’t want his kids growing up to be Colin Cowherds.
