Yes. Starts an hour later than CGD starts.
I'll try it this Saturday. It's probably a little more chill and "southern" if I dare say.

Kind of over the Pat McAffee BS. Like Saban, but the chemistry seems off… ESPN may need to freshen up the team and the script or they may continue to lose viewers

Marty and McGee is at 9 am if you want some Southern.

but ESPN is showing record profits this year.
The record profits are not even a rounding error for GOOG. YTTV barely adds to GOOGs bottom line. They are just getting this streaming option going and it will soon be the 3rd largest cable provider in US surpassing DirectTV soon.
They have a long term vision and the plethora of cash to handle whatever fight Disney has with them. ESPN loses what little leverage they have when college football ends.
Disney needs the YTTV money.

The majority of Gameday viewers are college football fanatics so probably not the best measure of attrition. I think the big drop will be in their regular daily programming which folks aren't going to spring $20 a month to watch.

regular season games aren't necessarily do or die anymore
that might be part of the reason the numbers are trending lower
Disagree, the new format keeps a lot more teams "alive" deep into the season. There are probably 2 dozen teams who have at least a chance at the playoffs if they win out from here. In the old format, Bama & UGA would have been dead in September basically.
Regular season games dont matter as much for teams that are strolling into November undefeated or with 1 loss (depending on remaining schedule), but it creates a lot more meaningful games downstream

Which sucks because it used to be must see Saturday morning tv. I turned it on to see Corso’s last pick this year and couldn’t make it through half of the show.

McAfee is an overaged frat boy, and it doesn't meld well with the rest of the cast.

I use to watch GameDay but switched to SEC Nation after about week 2 or 3.
Haven’t looked back.

Not going to lie, when your team gets to 3 losses, you start checking out...that's a vast majority of the teams now..
You waited and checked out after the loss to LSU? Cudos.
It was the loss to Vandy for me.
Tbh .... it was halftime, as my Son and I were sitting there talking in Atlanta at the opener vs VaTech. I knew then that we were in for a long season.
