'''Kirk Herbstreit''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|h|ɜr|b|s|t|r|iː|t}}; born August 19, 1969, [[Centerville, Montgomery County, Ohio|Centerville, Ohio]])<ref>{{cite web|url=http://kirk-herbstreit.com/about/|title=About Kirk Herbstreit|accessdate=October 15, 2012}}</ref> is an [[Sports Emmy Awards|Emmy Award]]-winning analyst for [[ESPN]]'s ''[[College GameDay (football)|College GameDay]]'', a television program covering [[college football]] and a provider of [[color commentary]] during college football games on ESPN and ABC. He appears annually as a commentator in [[EA Sports]]' ''[[NCAA Football series|NCAA Football]]''. He was a [[quarterback]] on the [[Ohio State football]] team. He saw action in a few games his junior season (including the bowl loss against Syracuse) and was the starting quarterback throughout his senior season.
Well - if you like having the big city amenities very close -than being actually "in the metroplex" as Chandler is may be better....and yes they have good schools. But Casa Grande schools are not BAD....even using Great Schools, the 2 charter schools get an 8 rating and MANY good reviews...and even a couple of the public elementary schools are rated with a 7.... so much of schooling is dependent upon parent involvement - but anyway, there are good school options here if needed and getting better all the time as the city grows.


==Playing career and subsequent activities in Ohio==
We do have a full service mall (Kolhls, Target, Movie theatres, Ross, Staples, petsmart etc. and lots of smaller stores and restaraunts....), a 24 super walmart, both Home Depot and Lowes, so basically all the biggies are here.
Herbstreit graduated from [[Centerville High School (Centerville, Ohio)|Centerville High School]] in [[Centerville, Montgomery County, Ohio|Centerville, Ohio]], a suburb of [[Dayton, Ohio|Dayton]]. In his high school quarterbacking days, he was the Gatorade Player of the Year as a senior for Centerville. He also was a standout baseball player.


Herbstreit was the first player to commit to the [[Ohio State Buckeyes]] after the hiring of [[John Cooper (coach)|John Cooper]] as [[head coach]] in 1988. Kirk was a four-year [[varsity letter|letter winner]] as a [[quarterback]] at [[Ohio State University]] from 1989 to 1993. After waiting his turn as a [[Ohio State Buckeyes|Buckeye]] starter behind [[Greg Frey]] and [[Kent Graham]], Herbstreit finally led the team as a senior in 1992. That year he was a co-captain (along with [[linebacker]] [[Steve Tovar]]) and was voted team MVP. Herbstreit passed for 1,904 yards that season, including four 200+ yard games, before losing to the [[Georgia Bulldogs]] in the Florida Citrus Bowl. As a college quarterback, Herbstreit had held the Ohio State record for pass completions in the [[Michigan-Ohio State rivalry|rivalry game]] against [[Michigan Wolverines|Michigan]]. He completed 28 passes for 271 yards in a 13-13 tie against arch-rival [[University of Michigan]] in 1992.<ref>[http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/graphics/pdf/m-footbl/1112_guide_8records1.pdf "Rushing Records"] from the ''2011 Ohio State Information Guide''</ref>
We do currently lack a more "high end" restaraunt base - steak houses etc...we got stopped in our tracks during the housing crunch - BUT, I think that is starting to change now - DR Horton just bought 300 lots from incomplete subdivisions in town and will start building on those soon - as well as groundbreaking on the "Phoenix Mart" project (google it or see my other posts here) which will bring in several thousand jobs - all of this will bring in more of a need for a little more variety of shopping/eating options...


Herbstreit's father, Jim Herbstreit, had been a co-captain (along with [[offensive tackle]] [[Jim Tyrer]]) of the 1960 [[Ohio State Buckeyes|Ohio State]] team, and was later an assistant coach at Ohio State under [[Woody Hayes]]. When Kirk Herbstreit was named co-captain in 1992, the two became only the second father-and-son duo to have each been Ohio State captains. (James and [[Jeff Davidson]] were the first in 1989; [[Pepper Johnson|Pepper]] and [[Dionte Johnson]] became the third in 2007.)
Finally, although as others have said - the CG to Chandler (or in your case reversed) is not a bad drive - it still has a cost - and you will get QUITE A BIT more house for your money here in CG than you will in Chandler...as well as the daily gas costs and most important family time costs by checking if you can find something you like in CG....
Herbstreit graduated from [[Ohio State University|Ohio State]] in 1993 with a [[academic degree|degree]] in Business Administration. He currently lives in Franklin, TN, with his wife and four boys. He also is known for a 2009 case in which he sued the IRS for changing an implied policy of allowing deductions for house donations to the Fire Department for training purposes.<ref>{{cite web|last=Lynn |first=Kathy |url=http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2009/07/23/IRSburn.ART_ART_07-23-09_A1_DDEIB64.html?sid=101 |title="Herbstreit 'fire' puts focus on IRS dispute" |publisher=''[[Columbus Dispatch]]'' |date=2009-07-23 |accessdate=2010-09-07}}</ref>

And it is only 45 mins into downtown Phoenix for D-backs games and all that offers etc...and then an hour down to Tucson for those amenities.... Plus a straight shot into San Diego along I 8 when its too hot in the summer...


He has lent his name to the Kirk Herbstreit National Kickoff Classic in Columbus, Ohio, and Arlington, Texas. According to the website, the Kickoff Classic "pits high school teams from the states of Ohio and Texas against prep football powerhouses from across the nation" over the Labor Day weekend. The games in Ohio are usually held at [[Ohio Stadium]], while the games in Texas are held at [[Cowboys Stadium]].
Just some considerations....if you have any specific questions please let me know....

He appears annually as a commentator in EA Sports' NCAA Football. He was a quarterback on the Ohio State football team. He saw action in a few games his junior season (including the bowl loss against Syracuse) and was the starting quarterback throughout his senior season.

Playing career and subsequent activities in Ohio

Herbstreit graduated from Centerville High School in Centerville, Ohio, a suburb of Dayton. In his high school quarterbacking days, he was the Gatorade Player of the Year as a senior for Centerville. He also was a standout baseball player.

Herbstreit was the first player to commit to the Ohio State Buckeyes after the hiring of John Cooper as head coach in 1988. Kirk was a four-year letter winner as a quarterback at Ohio State University from 1989 to 1993. After waiting his turn as a Buckeye starter behind Greg Frey and Kent Graham, Herbstreit finally led the team as a senior in 1992. That year he was a co-captain (along with linebacker Steve Tovar) and was voted team MVP. Herbstreit passed for 1,904 yards that season, including four 200+ yard games, before losing to the Georgia Bulldogs in the Florida Citrus Bowl. As a college quarterback, Herbstreit had held the Ohio State record for pass completions in the rivalry game against Michigan. He completed 28 passes for 271 yards in a 13-13 tie against arch-rival University of Michigan in 1992.[2]

Herbstreit's father, Jim Herbstreit, had been a co-captain (along with offensive tackle Jim Tyrer) of the 1960 Ohio State team, and was later an assistant coach at Ohio State under Woody Hayes. When Kirk Herbstreit was named co-captain in 1992, the two became only the second father-and-son duo to have each been Ohio State captains. (James and Jeff Davidson were the first in 1989; Pepper and Dionte Johnson became the third in 2007.) Herbstreit graduated from Ohio State in 1993 with a degree in Business Administration. He currently lives in Franklin, TN, with his wife and four boys. He also is known for a 2009 case in which he sued the IRS for changing an implied policy of allowing deductions for house donations to the Fire Department for training purposes.[3]

Herbstreit is actively involved in multiple charities including the 2012 Buckeye Cruise for Cancer and The Make A Wish Foundation Ultimate Sports Auction.

He has lent his name to the Kirk Herbstreit National Kickoff Classic in Columbus, Ohio, and Arlington, Texas. According to the website, the Kickoff Classic "pits high school teams from the states of Ohio and Texas against prep football powerhouses from across the nation" over the Labor Day weekend.
