Brad Nessler has left ESPN for CBS and will eventually replace the network's SEC play-by-play broadcaster Verne Lundquist, according to a tweet from Foxsports.com's Clay Travis.

Nessler, 59, will do NFL games for CBS until taking over for Lundquist, 75, who has called SEC games since 2000.

Nessler has been calling college games for ESPN since 1997 and was with the network since 1992.

Mcdonough getting MNF makes more sense now

as much as ol Verne annoys me, it will be weird to watch a CBS game without hearing him

I dig it. Love Verne but he needs to go soon so I am glad there is light at the end of the tunnel. Nessler and GD could be great together

I'll miss Verne, but Brad Nessler is awesome, one of the best if you ask me.

They're getting the band back together...Nessler and Danielson did ESPN Thursday night games in the 90s and were great then.

I wonder if Vern's biased views will be passed along?

About time that fat frick will be off the air though, I would rather listen to Stephen Hawking call the games.

Thank God. Nessler is easily my favorite CFB play-by-play guy ever.

Death to Verne.

I think Verne gets a little too much hate but I won't shed a tear when he retires. Nessler is a grand slam hire. Can't wait for him to take over.
