I've seen parts of the Finebaum show.. It's not good. Visually, it's kind of beyond boring. Pawl and his callers are best left to the medium of radio.

Will you guys watch the SEC Network version of Gameday or will you watch the ESPN version? I'm leaning toward the ESPN version, unless they are at the site of a Bama game.

Will this SEC Network Gameday show reduce the number of times Gameday comes to the SEC?

If Pawl is on, will not watch.

ESPN has a vested interest in the SEC and it's not in their interests to diminish us in any way

It's like they didn't even bother polling folks outside of AL about Pawl.

The ratings are going to suck if the SECR is a good measure of who is watching what.

I may start a firepawl.com website and get rich with .00002 paid ad clicks

once they get ranters to come on it will become a hit.

I would guess if game day is coming to a sec school then the sec game day would go to the second best sec game

I will watch SEC Nation over Gameday cause I don't care much about teams outside the SEC until they start to affect LSU. I can deal with Finebaum in limited quantities, and to me, he's more tolerable than Herbie's constant pandering to the big10/big12/pac10 flavor of the week. People like to hate on Finebaum, but seriously he's 1/4 of the show. You mean to tell me that yall like every person on Gameday? bullshite. Most just don't like Finebaum cause his shows are primarily Alabama. If Paul was based in your homestate instead yall wouldn't give a shite.

Gameday is the same washed up shite every. single. week. They just package it in a new venue to make it seem "special"

Um...no. I didn't listen to him when I lived in Alabama in the late 90s and I won't listen to him now.

He was a terrible choice when so many folks don't like him. There's nothing worse than a UT grad slobbering over Saban and Bama.

Finebaum is soooo overrated and usually gets outclassed when he gets in a discussion on TV. He sucks at talking particulars about the game. He's a good interviewer on the radio but the rest of his show is just a trailer park dumpster fire. It really sucks that he seems to be the face of the SEC Network.

FWIW, they're also showing Kentucky's basketball games in the Bahamas August 14-16 against the Dominican National Team and one of the French squads.

Just a guess, but for LSU, I think it may have something with already having a decent size share of UVerse, and Dish in the state.
