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

He's the best color guy in football not named Collinsworth IMO.

He's fricking excellent.

Wow that’s about as good a pairing as it gets for me. Neither get too worked up and both just pros.

They will be very good together.

But Todd is old enough to be Noah's dad.

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.

Great. Hope he won't ever be wasted on ND games

We'll get to hear them together one last time on Monday night on the national radio broadcast.

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.
