I wish ESPN/ABC would bring back the classic college football theme

It’s probably nostalgic for a lot of fans but compared to the SEC on CBS theme they’re not in the same league, IMO. They’ll never do it but the SEC should make ABC/ESPN buy the rights to it.

Sorry, but that sucked.
I couldn't remember what theme this was going to be, and still don't.
Anytime one of these old themes get drug up I get nostalgic.
But not for this.
Almost think the 5th Big and Rich remix is better than this.

Yeah, I sort of remember this theme, but the classic is CBS.



Listen to this for ten seconds and you’ll expect to see Stevie getting loose and Dickie Lyons lifting Greg Steltz a foot-and-half off the ground with a (then) legal block.

While they are it, bring back, “Whoa! Nellie!” and Keith Jackson‘s ghost

This one is really good.

The first one posted here is just terrible. Has to be a joke.

Isn't CBS losing their prime SEC Saturday game soon to ESPN? 2023, I think.

Yes, and the new contract is said to be in the billions, smoking the old 300 million K with CBS.

If as rumored, the divided benefit per school in the SEC could exceed the total annual revenue of most PAC 12 and several ACC schools!

And that is just for the weekly “Game of the Week,” and is separate from the other televised games [Tiers 2 and 3].

Pretty sure CBS offered $300 million per year. But I think CBS was only paying the SEC $55~60 million per year. Could say they got a helluva deal but I’d say the SEC did also. Gonna be sad. SEC on CBS is like peanut butter and jelly.

Good memory—here is the whole story:

SEC Leaving CBS for ABC: Inside the 10-Year Deal Starting in 2024

A 10-year TV contract with ESPN, starting in 2024, grants ABC the broadcasting rights to its marquee matchups.

CBS withdrew as the price increased.

A good aspect about the deal is that we might know by Summer half of our game times, whereas we were always about a week-out learning kickoff times.
