I was almost sick to my stomach when I heard abc/ESPN were taking over SEC. Nothing about last year changed my mind about that.
CBS presentation absolutely blows away anything ABC/ESPN does, CBS makes the game seems like THE game of the week, ABC is just crap. The only positive of the move is Florida was on over the air TV 6 times last year, the year before CBS had them one 1 time.
I share your sentiments on each: CBS & ESPN, but that one positive paid off for us in a big way with the huge increase of our games on tv.
money talks - CBS obviously wanted out of doing the SEC as what they offered was low and then after the contract with the SEC ended, they paid a helluva lot more for the Big 10.
A huge increase of our games on TV?? Unless you mean over the air TV- this is false. I live in SC- well away from Florida- and I get every game on TV. Perhaps 1 per year is on Espn plus. Like our Samford game maybe... But otherwise every single game is on TV- whether that was in 2022 or 2024. And yes I like the Danielson crew much better than whatever ABC gives us.. Final note- I'll never forget that it was ABC who asserted that "Seminole Firewater" was invented before Gatorade during our 2008 FSU/ UF game. Here's a story on it... Ok, What's All This About FSU "Inventing" Gatorade?
My brain oozes dopamine and serotonin every time I hear the CBS college football jingle, just like a Pavlov dog.
IDK, I have fond memories of watching Jefferson Pilot of us against Kentucky or someone on a slightly snowy picture that made me stick one arm up so it would come in clearer. Beer in the other hand.
Best thing about JP was you got to see games that would not have otherwise been on tv. I don’t really care about the music on the commercials or what the talking heads have to say, so I don’t really care what channel the games are on. As long as I have a way to watch, I’m happy.
