My apologies if this has been discussed. I hadn't seen it yet.

Sports Illustrated
quote:

• As first reported by James Andrew Miller, Musburger has been offered the job of lead college football announcer for the upcoming SEC Network, which debuts at the end of August. It is unclear whether Musburger will take that offer, as some sources I spoke with noted he is unhappy with how the process is shaking out. What seems clear is that Musburger is being pulled from the lead announcer spot for ABC's Saturday Night Football, which is ESPN's top game each week. (Musburger, via ESPN PR, turned down an interview request from SI.com. "He isn't doing any interviews on the subject," said an ESPN spokesperson.)

I just don't want to see Tim Brando anywhere around this.

He was good back in the 80s' when he was younger and only in the studio for pregame, halftime, and post game. He is too old and blind now.

Is it possible to have the new SEC Network begin on a positive note by not having Musburger or Verne Lundquist?

Haven't those guys fleeced the viewing public and networks for enough money over the years--wish they would retire.

I would even rather see Keith Jackson, health permitting, come out of retirement.
