New ABC graphic SEConABC - Not a fan

I think these are all examples of their graphics but they will change weekly depending on who's playing. Like the football with the razorback logo could be changed to any team logo.

I can tell you it isn’t CBS, which is what ABC is replacing.

It’s an ESPN product company, we’ve been broadcast ABC/Disney for decades now. Now we’re just exclusively ABC/ESPN. The ACC is also on ABC /ESPN

I saw this and thought immediately, "Looks just like the Monday Night NFL stuff."...MEH, unoriginal, uninspired, like 99% of the stuff Disney puts out these days...I mean they need to stop with the live action reprisals of all the animated hits and put control of the Star Wars stuff back in the hands of Kennedy, Fione, and Lucas.

In the world of televised sports there is absolutely nothing that compares to the Third Saturday in October, on a slightly crisp, sunny, fall afternoon on CBS. That’s the pinnacle. It has been taken from us.

Inside the bitter split between the SEC and CBS: 'They just dug their heels in. They would not move'

The story of the SEC and CBS is a winding journey that started as a happy marriage, turned quite rocky and then led to a divorce during renewal negotiations in 2020.

CBS will not be missed by me. They rode the good deal far too long. Didn't want to pay fair value for a great product, ESPN did.

Stupid comments like below only reinforces my opinion of him and CBS. They think they made the SEC a big deal.

“I think CBS took a regional product, partnered with the great play of the conference, and made it a national brand,” said Gary Danielson, lead CBS color analyst since 2006.

I like the score bug, which is the most important thing since that's pretty much the only part of this you're going to see for 95% of the game.

The graphics/intro and music are blah but who cares.

I've got to disagree with you here friend, the chyron is way to busy and over produced. Looking at that thing in 10 years, it will be an eye sore. I still like the old CBS navy box best.

I posted this in the NCAA forum yesterday, but the concept is all wrong for college football. College football, in this humble Vol's opinion, should be about pageantry, the youthful vibrance, and the atmosphere of the sport. It should be bright and cheerful, positive and energetic. A little bit gritty, even slightly haphazard. Any given Saturday and so on. Just like college football. Definitely based on white rather than black. Light rather than dark.

This ABC thing is wrong for that. It's generic. It's definitely based in black / dark spaces, shiny, clean, and has that obsession people in sport media have with dark environments lit by light sources they can re-color for whichever team is on screen. Slick moody pro stuff. Particle effects and busy motions to animate, polished and super reflective, to make it look all expensive and cool. But it also looks generic, super generic, and it's too dark in places to even see what's happening clearly. It's what you'd expect from a package for a professional sports league. And yes, I know "the SEC "is a professional sports league" jokes, but it's so disconnected from the idea of college and the setting that I just don't get it.

And yes, because we're all thinking it - that music flat out sucks and had better be temp music. Generic ripoff of some rock song with no drumline percussion, no pep. Blah.

Exactly…college football is played with sunshine, crazy crowds, marching bands, tailgating, and pretty girls not in some dingy basement. And, the droning, repetitive tune is garbage. Surely they will clean this up.

The media wants Texas and OU to come into the SEC and dominate to show everyone it wasn’t the elite conference everyone thought it was

They (ABC) really should have bought out the rights to that iconic theme music.

The theme music wasn't originally produced for the SEC. First time ever played was opening of Super Bowl in the 80's.. Super Bowl XXI to be exact.

Absolutely sucks.

I think they give more time to the Gators even than Texas. For sure those are the top two. Meanwhile, the Vols had maybe a TOTAL of 1 second air time.

And the music is dull. Just the same riff, over and over. The song doesn't develop, doesn't go anywhere. CBS' song was hella good, this is awful.

Looks like they let the summer intern put it together. The summer intern from Florida.

Go Vols!

The song sounds like 90s wwf entrance music

And if there’s one thing that unites the SEC viewership outside of nonsensical complaints of bias, it’s that theme song. Back in August, CBS caused an uproar with a promo for its new relationship with the Big Ten. Weaving clips from Ohio State, Minnesota and others, that jingle played and it, frankly, felt weird.


That’s just how close the association has become between CBS and the SEC. Most would be stunned to learn that song debuted as the intro to the Super Bowl XXI in 1987. Written and recorded by Lloyd Landesman, the jingle moved to the CBS coverage of college football later that year, according to USA Today.

Lloyd Landesman and the sound that makes the SEC on CBS

Lloyd Landesman doesn't expect his music to have staying power. But sometimes it does.
www.usatoday.com


Back then, Lloyd Landesman was just hoping the song – which took about eight hours to write and record, start-to-finish – would be chosen by CBS Sports for the intro to Super Bowl 21. As a staff writer for a production company and fervent New York Giants fan, getting a piece picked up for such a major event was a milestone in a career built around writing music for television.

Ever since the 1987 season, Landesman's theme song – which was never given name – has opened every college football broadcast on CBS and become an anthem of sorts for the SEC, which airs its featured game on the network every Saturday afternoon.
