SEC triple header on ABC every week is much better than 1 CBS game a week.

CBS has the better theme song but almost everything else I prefer the new set up

If they got rid of the huge arse ticker then it would almost be perfect

I was really hoping that the 2:30 game would not remain these 4 hour long monstrosities like CBS had slowly morphed into, but that hasn’t changed.

The best part is auburn has a lot less night games because the lower tier teams have to play more day games.

I get tired of announcers that don't know football talking incessantly just to hear their own voice when they really don't know what they're talking about.

Pros:

-As others said, the ABC triple header every Saturday is great.


Cons:

-The ABC theme song is just a ripoff from the 80's TV show Dallas theme song and keeps is stuck in my head all week.

-I actually liked Gary.

They think they have to fill every single second with dialog. Most of the time, I just want them to shut up. They should consider dropping the color guy and just doing a simple play by play.

My most hated part is when they start talking about something that has nothing to do with the game for what seems like an entire segment.

All the announcers sucked. They seemed to have bias toward certain teams and protected the officiating even when they were terrible. The lack of replays was terrible, you'd have game changing plays that wouldn't be replayed, inexcusable. The 3 game line up was great, everything after that sucked.

(a) How did you initially feel when the agreement was reached?

apprehensive - mostly due to production - knew the schedule would be improved and highlighted better - throughout the conference -

quote:

(b) Do you feel better/worse about it after a full season of it?
better - pleasantly surprised actually -

was really wanting to see ABC games - create a different bigger event feel - than all the ESPN channels games & SECN games -

- lose the wide sports ticker across the entire bottom of the TV screen for ABC games - use a smaller score graphic - let the full screen/field be seen

- wanted to see the ABC Sports brand re-booted specifically for the SEC on ABC - including these blazers -
