I have to admit, I really have loved the SEC on ABC the past few years

CBS was dumb af for low balling the SEC but I'm really glad they did so basically ABC could be full of SEC games instead of just showing Alabama every week on CBS. Its nice to be able to just turn on ABC for the day and not really have to change the channel if I didn't want to. Which also means I don't need cable either since I pick it up on the antenna. Yeah the commentators are left to be desired, but I still prefer them over Danielson. I also think NBC was dumb af for not even considering the SEC but whatever. NBC would've been my first choice with how they do Sunday Night Football but I actually think ABC is surprisingly second when you see the cons of CBS and FOX, plus I don't have to change the channel or figure out which channel has the big games, you just know its ABC, which is another reason I think ABC is destroying the other 3 in ratings.

Anyways I thought I would hate this change the most, but I surprisingly have not. Even tho I am glowing over this Disney still sucks.

I miss the CBS intro.

I also hate supporting the entity that has done the most damage to the sport over the past 10 years.

I wish the SEC would spread our games with ABC, CBS, and either FOX or NBC. Let them bid for the rights and give each of them rotate each week in getting first picks at games.

I do miss CBS for the SEC but one thing I don't miss is Gary fricking Danielson!!!

I watched a little bit of the Ohio State Michigan game and remembered how much I can't stand his voice!

I guess my point is this past weekend on ABC we got:

Mississippi State Ole Miss

Georgia Georgia Tech

Texas Texas A&M

LSU Oklahoma

Alabama Auburn

All on ABC. Before wed just get Alabama Auburn and Mizzou Arkansas on CBS. This was just a much better viewing experience for me. But I can understand the argument of the presentation being better in general on CBS for the game. I just personally prefer the quantity of SEC games than the presentation quality of one game when I grew up watching fricking Jefferson Pilot in 240p.

I don't miss CBS at all. The picture was a little better on CBS but that was it. I don't give a shite about an intro song. That's retarded.

I love that I can watch good football games all day long. I love that we have more than one game in the mid-day spot. I love that we never have to hear Danielson's voice.

This deal is far better than expected.

The CBS intro song was awesome. ABC did a really good job with the Iron Bowl introduction Saturday night though.

I don't miss CBS games starting at 2:30 and ending 5 hours later due to 2 hours of commercials.

If the conference had some games on any other network other than ABC then millions of SEC fans wouldn’t have missed three weeks of games on YTTV.

Or just pull out a tv antenna and enjoy free TV without paying Disney or Google a dime

I miss CBS production quality. They just do sports big time.

So much better TV product.

But I do like the ABC Tripleheader. Wish CBS could have done rhat

It's been a highlight of the past 2 years for sure.

Which sucks because I really hate Disney. But I do not miss CBS even a little.

Maybe if CBS was doing them 3 times a day it would have been better.

I preferred CBS. I’m fine with ABC. It’s football on TV so I usually enjoy it.

None of the commentators bother me, including Danielson. It’s football on TV so I usually enjoy it.

So the picture, music, and production was better — but you don’t care because Danielson? Who undoubtedly does not have much gas left in the tank.

Big game on CBS was better.

I do like all day SEC on ABC. An 11, 2:30 and 6:30 game on network TV is awesome.

That game was on Fox. CBS doesn’t even get 1 dibs on the best Big 10 games. Colossal failure for CBS.

I like the night games every week. Sometimes life requires you to do adult things during the day on weekends.

CBS had one night game a year.
