OSU football: Kirk Herbstreit explains what happened during that 2011 Kansas State earthquake game

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Today marks the five-year anniversary of the 2011 Oklahoma State vs. Kansas State earthquake game in Stillwater, which provided the internet with a classic meme-ready screen shot of ESPN studio analyst Kirk Herbstreit.

The Cowboys just beat the Wildcats, 52-45, and Herbstreit was reporting live postgame with Chris Fowler. Watch Herbstreit's eyes grow at about the five-second mark.

“Chris, just to let you know, dead serious, as I've been talking to you, we just had, I think, an earthquake aftershock here," Herbstreit said.
