ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit was filled with emotion while he honored his late dog, Ben, during “College GameDay” on Nov. 9.

Kirk Herbstreit paid tribute to his late dog Ben, who recently died, with an emotional televised segment ahead of the LSU and Alabama football game on Saturday, Nov. 9.

Herbstreit’s beloved golden retriever had become somewhat of a celebrity through frequent appearances on ESPN’s “College GameDay” and in the broadcast booth.

Kirk Herbstreit is hoping his dog Ben pulls through after the golden retriever, who frequently appears on Herbstreit's TV broadcasts and social media, has lost the ability to walk amid its cancer battle.

The video says 'Dogs only flaw as a species is they don't live long enough' and truer words were never spoken. We will forever miss Ben.

Another week has come and gone with college football, but this time it was a little different for the College Gameday crew. Ben, the famous dog of Kirk Herbstreit, passed away earlier this week, leaving the college football world in shock.
