And please tell me when it is over.

Everything about that game was horrible except the ending. Announcers sucked, commercials every 2 mins, and an almost 4 hour marathon.

Who do you want to carry SEC games?

I just want to stop having 2:30 games in 95 degree weather. I feel bad for the players.

I don't think ESPN would be any better though.

Danielson stammered a little but I thought the announcers and production value were good.

The way college football is currently televised is horrid and CBS is the worst of the worst. TV should not dictate the flow of the game as much as it does. The NCAA and the conferences should stop being such pushovers in this regard. I contend, the value of the broadcasting rights are the same regardless.

I just hate that 2:30 time slot and that LSU vs Georgia at this point looks it’ll be like a top 5 matchup as a fricking day game in Tiger Stadium

Maybe we can pray that they’ll flex us into a night game like they did in 2011. I don’t believe they’ve done that since then.

I hate that they advertise a show about Bamas championship during our game. Wtf...the ESPN series isn't enough for the world?

I think they worked out something in the contract where CBS can pick one game per season for a primetime slot, which is how LSU-Bama has been a night game in recent years. Unless something changed in the contract, I would think CBS is saving their night game flex for that one instead of UGA

Why do you want ESPN to have a monopoly on CFB?

CBS is good for college football. Their announcers are not biased, believe me. Every fan base in the SEC believes they are biased against their own team.

The commercials are atrocious, but it’s a good broadcast with with a good broadcast team.

Quit bitching for the sake of bitching

Was at the game just roasting away in the uppers. CBS was showing no mercy with the commercial breaks.

It was like CBS had never broadcast an Auburn game before. Yet they still went to replays between every Auburn play.

I'd be happy with Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, etc... The announcers screwed up so many things during that game.

Looks like it's till 2022-23, and then that's it. Wonder if ESPN just absorbs one more game or if the SEC looks for another outlet
