So it's been one year today since the SEC Network launched. We've seen a Football season, recruiting season, and the off-season, plus basketball, baseball, a lot of other live sports, and many many reruns of classic games.

So what's your thoughts on the Network? What would you like to see done different.

Less Finebaum. Especially during the true offseason. After baseball, I mean.

I love it. Mostly for basketball and baseball, but also for the money it brings. I've also had more chances to learn more about other SEC schools.

I think it's awesome. I watch it quite a bit. I'm sure there will be some pussies complaining about a talking head or two because they said something really mean about their respective teams, though. Why don't you cry about it some more, pussy.

No reason to give Finebaum 4 hours of programming... Seriously.

My only complaint is it seems like every time I try to watch it, he is on.

I am a huge fan because the production values are high and the distribution is vast.

It is not amateur hour.

it's great, but i agree with the others on finebaum- cut his time in half and that would be a good start.

It's awesome. Only thing I'd change is less Finebaum and more classic Football in the off season.

I love that fact that we no longer need to pay PPV or for ESPN Gameday to see all our team's games.

I like it. Haven't watched it in a few months, since the end of baseball/softball season, but they have done a good job with their content in year 1.

My only gripe is not enough football game replays during offseason.

I realize that with 24 hours a day, that's a ton of programming space they have to fill. Want to give finebaum a show? Fine. Whatever. But there's no excuse that from March through August they can't be showing old football games at least once or twice a day. They recnetly did their top 20 SEC games of 2014 starting a few weeks ago...why not do something similar all year?

Hell, go through their top SEC games each year back a decade or so. Guarantee you it'd get more ratings than most of whatever else they show during the afternoon.

No more Finebaum

More replays...but don't just replay the same games from last year. Go back further.

Worst part is that ESPN added a SEC noon game that used to be Big 10 that never existed before. Might be totally unrelated.

Best parts are extra ball games, no more PPV games, and game replays from past and current seasons.

I love it. I especially love it for SECN+. Before that feature, and if you didn't have Geaux Zone, you were able to watch what, like 12-15 LSU basketball games a year on TV as well as like 18-25 baseball games? Now you have access to all 31 live basketball games as well as all 56 baseball games. It really is incredible.

Thank you SEC Network.

Just hoping it continues to grow, and delivers more money to the SEC than the Big Ten Network does to the B1G..

I guess I'm the only one on here that kind of gets a kick out of Finebaum. Yeah it can be a Bama, and some times Vols, love fest but a lot of the callers make me chuckle. I don't need 3-4 hours a day of that show though.

I also loved watching SEC now. Especially when Booger Mac picked A&M, Tenn, and Arky to beat Mizzou. Now he is on the Mizzou band wagon and I don't think I like it.
