Literally broke less than an hour ago. Kind of a shocker. Figured he'd stay w/Sean McDonough and be the #1 team for ESPN's SEC coverage.

He is one of the only good ones left on ESPN.

I like his commentary. He doesnt seem to get caught up in all the crap

NBC isn't going to spend big then hire someone unproven. This makes sense.

Blackledge is my favorite analyst. Sad he won't be paired up with McDonogh anymore though.

Kind of disappointed this isn't happening, but he's from Canton and is a Penn State guy, so he's likely happy to cut down on travel and call games closer to home at this stage in his life. He's earned it.

This will pretty clearly be Herbstreit and Fowler.

Blackledge had his fill of Southeastern bbq joints.

This is horrible for those of us who are SEC fans. He is the best analyst in football, college or pro. This royally sucks.

It's always surprised me NBC wasn't more involved with CFB beyond Notre Dame. I mean surely cfb will be better for them than all those years of dateline Saturday mysteries.

Will Blackledge going to NBC there’s no doubt Gary Danielson will still be calling SEC games. He’ll likely be teamed with McDonough.

Man that sucks. Blackledge is this best, him and Nessler together were the best, LSU rarely lost when they called games lol.
