He often joins Herbstreit on the field before games and rolls around at the 50-yard-line. There have been a few instances where he even made his way into the broadcast booth. Nobody ever complains about having him around. He’s never had an accident on the playing field or anything like that.

And yet there are a lot of people out there who, for some unknown reason, want Ben off of their television screens. They don’t want to see an adorable pup (who is actively fighting cancer) in the broadcast booth or on the field. They want him to stay home.

Al Michaels made those folks look as stupid as they sound and ended the debate on Ben. If someone as surly as he can enjoy having such a well-behaved dog around, then anyone who disagrees is wrong.

In fact, dogs should be more welcome in atypical places and Rick Pitino is on board with that line of thinking!

The 72-year-old drew inspiration from Herbstreit. If Ben can travel all over the country almost every weekend, surely his own dog could handle one single practice at Taffner Fieldhouse. Right?

Wrong. Gigi was unable to handle even one single practice.

She peed all over the hardwood.
