I was frustrated, disappointed, downright ANGRY when they cut away from our 4 hour game and turned on the Bama game. I am now glad I got a chance to watch every minute of that game! Thanks ABC! šŸ˜

They really need to figure this out. I can't be the only one that DVRs a lot of games, more often than not I miss entire quarters.

Guess what. Itā€™s espn. They donā€™t give a rats arse about figuring it out. Any other team would have stayed on, and the next game would start on espn news. F espn

Yep...like they've always done. But...ESPN hates us.

I've seen us on the other side of that situation too though.

Honestly, if our game would have closer or we would have needed that past TD to win, they would have stayed with us.

As it was, game was won. We didn't need that last TD, so they followed the ratings machine...like most other things in college ball today, it's chasing the money.

Dont care. They never do that when our game is coming on. They could have started the bammer game on ESPNews. They ended up sucking bad any way.

Figure what out? They don't f***king give a rat's ass. I DVR every game and start delayed to miss commercials, halftime, and announcer blather. Never had to worry about that with CBS.

I'm no fan of any network, but when this deal was announced and everyone jumped for joy at no more Danielson, I said at the time we would live to regret the change. CBS, Danielson or no Danielson, valued the SEC and treated it with respect as the best league in CFB. To ESPN the SEC is just more product on top of all the other product they treat like garbage.

I said at the time we're going to miss Brad Nessler, the best PBP guy in network CFB, and now if we're fortunate enough to be playing big games we're going to be saddled with the self absorbed blowhard Tessitore or the SEC hating Fowler. I haven't watched anything aside from games on ESPN for going on 25 years, and I didn't think it was possible to hate the network any more. I was wrong.

Preach

The very last clip on the end of the farewell CBS/SEC montage...

Auburn vs Miss St in 2008 but that game was on ESPN I guess my brain is getting old. I would've sworn I watched one like that on Jefferson pilot. In my defense, I forget why I walked into the kitchen half the time.

I dont blame the network whatsoever! Its ridiculous that we can't finish a game in under 4 hours! I'm honestly at the point where I think I would be in favor of the NCAA outlawing the uptempo offense if it meant eliminating all these fake injuries. Its gotten beyond ridiculous!

They moved our game to ESPNEWS and they do this all the time. If our game was close, they would keep it on ABC. It wasnā€™tā€¦thankfullyā€¦so it slid to a sister network.
