Season ends Friday, saving Gus from playing MSU and potentially being removed.

That would be just our luck...

I hope ESPN buys us out of the CBS contract. Auburn football may not be trending upwards but never watching another game on CBS would be amazing.

I really hope ESPN buys the rights to the CBS theme music. I'm not prepared for another song of the soundtrack of my upbringing to go away 😖

[woodford 3,655]

I wish the SEC would stay with CBS. Not a fan of centralization.

Never hearing Gary call a bama game again would be worth the extra 62 commercials.

You watch, he will get a job with the SEC Network just to continue the bama nauseating love.

The day that begins the actual abolishment of the ncaa, will it look like this? Will it be a presser with one conference tipping the first dominoe? Is that how you spell dominoe?

Dan Quayle says yes.

Maybe he frees Sharife

Auburn moved to the SEC East?

Regular season canceled only SECCG and playoffs allowed?

Adding men sports and giving the middle finger to Title IX? Soccer, wrestling, volleyball?

Launching SEC2 another channel?

 

This 100 times over!

So, I'm not gonna battle over time zones but literally anything is better than Eastern Time. Hate how late games go in that time zone.

Plus we go by Auburn time in these here parts.

Complaining about how late the games are played is a sign of old age.  Just ask Charles.

Allowing SEC HC's to opt out of this season due to Covid, automatically coming back next year as if this season never happened.

[AlaskanFAN 1,666]

Due to CV-19 at all other SEC schools all games have been canceled except at AU and UA which will play again in Tuscaloosa.

Absolutely!
Wrestling is huge in the BIG and BiG 12 and I’m sure it would take years to compete at their level but I think adding it to the SEC would create more wrestling programs at the HS and club level across the south. I have fought to change job locations so my kids could continue to wrestle.  

Actually it would be add it back to SEC.

SEC will be following Vanderbilt's leadership and will now require one scholarship female athlete on the football team's roster.

Well.... I'm sure our OL coaches would like to take advantage of the expanded talent pool to improve their recruiting results.

Wow!  Only thing I don't like is some of the games going to ESPN+, but I love being on the ABC window instead of CBS.

Herbie is still the best college football analyst in the game imo. Fowler is MEH but so is Nessler since he got to CBS. So def a huge step up.

I can't wait to not have to hear Gary's voice anymore.

That will be the one thing I’ll miss. That intro music is as legendary as the NBA on NBC in the 90s.

This is great news. Prime-time Iron Bowls, no more Gary, more $$$. Yes please.
