Kirk Herbstreit is a busy man and travels more than just about anyone in sports media.
This week, the burden of travel was made easier by man’s best friend. Herbstreit got his dog, Ben, registered as an emotional support animal ahead of a busy travel week, and Ben was able to join him for the weekend.
Uh oh. He’s back and he’s officially an ESA animal now. Actually has been that for me for 9 years but he’s official now. So lucky to have him by my side this week. Headed to the Windy City! #BigBen pic.twitter.com/xsy2YnvMq4

Ben made the journey to Chicago for the Thursday Night Football game between the Bears and the Carolina Panthers, joining Herbstreit, who was on play-by-play for the game.
On Saturday, Ben joined Herbstreit as he traveled to Athens, Georgia, for College GameDay and the matchup between Ole Miss and Georgia. It’s clear Ben is living it up in Athens along side his owner.
Ben was seen hanging out with some Georgia cheerleaders Saturday morning while Herbstreit was busy hosting GameDay.

Ben even got to join Herbstreit on the field before the game, and it’s clear he’s loving the turf at Sanford Stadium.
