...I hate to say it but the old crowd was ten times better than these two hacks...including Lou. This one guy is almost unbearable.

And granted I'm a homer, but UGA got about 10 secs of coverage and Lambert got no love whatsoever...after setting an FBS record?

And then at the end the guy rubs one out over Fournette for Heisman....sure he had a monster day but Auburn sucking at tackling had a lot to do with that performance today.

I used to enjoy watching this in Sunday morning but this is pissing me off.

And then the same jack wagon goes on his pitch that ND this year is better than the National Championship contender team a few years ago...I guess because they (along with every high school coach) can defend the option.....

.....and of course Ol Miss is now a darling and playoff contender because they beat Alabama (which they seem to do a lot).

Ugh

Agree, CFB final is awful, game day isn't as good without Chris, and I hate the picking games based on the spread and the whole focus on gambling in general on ESPN. Major downgrade in their programming. And no cowherd in my morning commute sucks too. Get your shite together ESPN.

What was the reason for the change anyway? I never got why they got rid of Lou Holtz and Mark May?

From what I read Reese's contract was up and wanted more $ to stay at ESPN so they gave him a raise and moved him to gameday (Chris now calling games only, which is what he wanted) and Mark May is on some other show I think. I guess maybe Lou "retired" as I haven't seen him on any show.

Just finished watching the full hour of College Football Final and I also noticed that UGA got almost no mention. Seemed to be the Fournette/Ole Miss show. I can't believe they didn't talk about Lambert's record-setting day. But hey...it may not be a bad thing, because we do tend to fare a little bit better when flying under the radar. We don't need talking heads in order to win games.

Agreed.

The supporting cast (Kanell and Galloway) is fricking awful. I never thought I'd miss Mark May and Lou Holtz but those two at least brought some humor and entertainment to the show.

If we beat Bama they'll definitely be talking about us. It's only a matter of time, the real problem is getting out of October undefeated. So many trap games that month

Yes, ESPN is going even more down the crapper than before.

Got my ESPN Magazine in yesterday and it had a DraftKings cover. I threw it away. Amazing they have gotten worse since FS1 came along.

Lou Holtz has a radio show on Sirius XM now.

IMHO most ESPN and serous football folks are over on SEC channel.

I for one prefer to fly under the radar. Plus, we had so many different playmakers that had monster games last night. LSU had one. Let em talk about that all day long.

Some people talked so bad about Lou and Mark May but I enjoyed them. Or maybe I was just accustomed to the way they ran the show. The new cast sucks tho I turned it away during commercial and forgot all about it

I can't stand that idiot Galloway. CFF is bad now. Mark May is on College Football Sunday on ESPNU which I don't get. I wish someone would put CFS on tenyardtorrents but so far no one has.

Agreed. Can't stand Kanell. I'm shocked how much ESPN has made an effort to raise his profile across its platforms.
