I’m nostalgic for the CBS theme-song already, and it’ll pain me to hear it being played over a Rutgers-Michigan State game that’s 3-0 in the Third Quarter (and not Alabama-LSU 3-0 but 6.5 second 40 3-0). Even still, I speak for a lot of people when I say I’m glad that’s what Gary Danielson is going to be forced to watch now. I’m sure ESPN will have their fair share of shilling for Alabama, but nobody knew how to do it better than Gary. I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts off every CBS broadcast this year with a monologue about Nick Saban before realizing he’s in Piscataway. Have fun with that B10 y’all are a match of pretentiousness made in heaven.
I’m not a fan of ESPN, but I will admit that having full media rights to the SEC allows them flexibility that should make for some good changes to the Dawgs schedule. The Tech game being played on Black Friday, for example, is a good thing and should become a yearly staple of our schedule. Now, if ESPN starts making us play conference games on Thursday night like a 2-4 ACC team my opinion may change. For now though I’ll give Mickey the benefit of the doubt. At least until the first Dawgrading of the year when we beat Clemson and Kirk tells us they’re actually no better than Tech anymore.
P.S.: Knowing the game times this far in advance is great for those having to deal with the sinners who choose to get married in the fall. Makes it easy to plan how to find a TV, stream, or other means to watch the Dawgs.
