Now, let me tell ya ’bout a couple, Kirk Herbstreit and his wife, Allison Butler. They been together for more than 25 years, and folks, it ain’t just the love that’s been strong, but the whole story of how they met and fell for each other. Ain’t it somethin’ when two folks can stick together for so long, especially in this day and age?
Well, it all started back when they was both in college, out there at Ohio State University. Now, Allison Butler, she wasn’t just a regular college girl, no sir! She was a cheerleader, the kind that could jump and twirl and look real pretty doin’ it. Kirk, well, he was there too, doin’ his thing as a young fella on the football team. It don’t take much to see how they mighta crossed paths—two stars in their own right, both full of energy and livin’ their best college lives.

They met, and the rest, as they say, is history. Ain’t that the way it goes, though? You never really know where life’s gonna take ya, but sometimes it takes you right to the one you’re supposed to be with. They had their ups and downs, just like any couple, but it’s clear that the love they share ain’t somethin’ you find every day. They been married for over two decades, with kids and all, still goin’ strong and makin’ it work.
Now, it’s important to know that Allison didn’t just stop at being a cheerleader. She got herself a real good education, too. She graduated from Butler University, and while her time cheerin’ at Ohio State was what made her famous, she done more than that. But that’s not the most important part, is it? What really matters is how they been stickin’ by each other all these years, and how they both found somethin’ that lasted.
Kirk, well, he’s now known all over as one of the big names in football commentary. People love hearin’ his opinions and his thoughts on the game, but you best believe that at home, he’s just a husband and a father. He don’t forget where he came from, and he don’t forget who’s been there right beside him, supportin’ him through all the highs and lows. Allison, on the other hand, has always been there, quietly supportin’ her man, not lookin’ for the spotlight, but makin’ sure her family’s always got what they need. Now that’s somethin’ to admire, don’t you think?
And when they’re not busy with their careers and family, they enjoy a quiet life, away from the hustle and bustle of the public eye. They’re a true example of love that grows over time, and how even in a world full of distractions, some things—like family and love—still hold steady. They sure got their priorities straight.
So, if you ask me, the story of Kirk and Allison is one of those good old-fashioned love stories that make you believe in the good in this world. Ain’t no fairy tale, no sir. It’s just two folks who found each other and decided they was gonna make it work, no matter what. And I reckon that’s the best kind of love story there is.
