Probably decided before the season I'd guess.

But why? In football they decide one or two weeks before right?

It's a little easier because of the number of games and it's pretty much just on one day a week.

I can see why weekday games could be tricky, but on the Saturdays, it shouldn't be hard. Just pick time slots for each conference then fill those slots with the games once you actually know who's good. I think it's ridiculous Auburn has only been on national TV maybe once or twice.

I'm extremely glad that Dickie V hasn't been announcing our games. I had to mute the volume the last game he did for Bama

I don't know why they can't find better commentators for SEC games though. I have a friend who is in broadcasting that is >>> better than the clowns they throw out. The difference is that he spends almost every minute, every day, researching/preparing by learning players, teams and styles.

I frequently tune in only to hear announcers who stick to shallow narratives, don't know the bench players, don't know about team specific styles, don't have a strong grasp on player strengths/weaknesses

Agreed. The girl they had on there the other day was awful. As Sexton drives to the lane for an easy layup: "Wow, Sexton really threaded the needle there." That was just one of the many weird things she said. She was supposed to be the play-by-play commentator too. It's kind of embarrassing.

This is the first season in a long time that the SEC as a while hasn't been a dumpster fire. It was expected to be better than past seasons, but not to this extent. Hopefully we won't get the D squad crews next year.

Oklahoma seems to be falling apart.

We need to rebound well tonight (obviously). Hall/Giddens need to play well.

It would also be ideal if Dazon bet on Alabama instead of UT tonight.

Right now the commentary relies way too heavily on narrative or extremely obvious Comments

It's ok, we will trot out Giddens to beat him up a bit early. "Hulk Smash"
