Imagine what the 3rd choice game in the Big Ten is every week.

It won't be Oh St vs Mich.

It won't be Penn St vs Oh St or Mich.

It's going to be Iowa vs Illinois.

Every single week.

Nobody will will watch.

Ratings will tank.

CBS will lose millions.

Kudos to the Big Ten for pulling it off. Not gonna be a player hater. The Big Ten will completely bankrupt the entire CBS network. Not even the CIA will keep them in business.

Interesting that ESPN is working on a new theme song to replace the iconic CBS song.


Waste of time. ESPN would do better to buy the rights to the song than try to replace it. Nothing will ever replace it. That song embodies SEC football for multiple generations of SEC fans.

This is what the Gary-hating shite heels don't understand.

Gary isn't getting subbed for some world class color announcer. It is going to be Kirk Herbstreit, if you're lucky.

Oh no, I'm so going to miss the fall tradition of Gary Danielson gargling Alabama's balls every weekend.....bye bitch.


16-1 has damaged you greatly, I see. I fear your nightmare streak is going to continue…

That’s always stuck me as so odd. Every SEC other than Bama fans view Gary as a total Bama homer. But yet, Bama fans almost universally hate him.

I don’t get it.

[on the new theme] It will be “unmistakably SEC,” Magnus said.

This is so scary. ABC/ESPN already characterizes the South by thinking we like people like Marty

So, we can officially blame the move from CBS on Mizzou and A&M...

the iconic CBS song.


is it really iconic when CBS Sport Network has been using it for MWC - CUSA - MAC and other G5 games since the network's inception/coverage?

ABC/ESPN should just unretire it's BCS theme song as when it was played an SEC team usually won the MNC - it's synonymous with SEC football too -
