Sankey having media call at 6pm for "a significant announcement"

[Southeastern VFL]

Entire Vandy football team and staff will undergo sex reassignment surgery and be the first all female NCAA football team.

About our luck they would still beat us wonder if that is enough to get Pruitt fired lol

I’m guessing it’s this...View attachment 329333

That sucks. I like the premier SEC game being on CBS. ESPN's presentation is generally terrible.

 

[deezvols]

What’s going to happen when ESPN goes belly-up before then?

 

[GoVols64]

I mean really, everyone already knew so I'm glad they are finally comfortable with who they are....

Disagree. Think the opposite honestly. The intro song is the only good thing about CBS lol

Would have ALL SEC First Team Tight Ends.

And the tv timeouts are about 10 minutes long and always have King Saban pushing AFLAC.

Exactly. Longer commerical breaks or more frequent ones at the least. Announcing is garbage

 

[OL SMOKEY]

At least Laura is there!!!!

 

[Rocky Top Raby]

Can we go ahead and switch so at least we can get rid of Gary?

 

[VAWL FAN]

Yeah I agree with you and it might just be my imagination but CBS seems to have more commercial breaks than ESPN.

 

[FranklinVFL]

Yeah, it's pretty clearly that.

If you're wondering about that TV deal:

Good - Since all SEC football games will be on the ESPN family of networks starting in 2024, they will generally (though not in all cases) declare start times for games before the season and just shift back and forth between networks rather than messing with the start times.

Bad - Starting as soon as next year, some SEC non-conference football and basketball games (I read it as games that otherwise would've been on the SEC Network alternate channel or streaming only) will start to be on ESPN+...which costs $6 a month or $50 a year.

Well...if we are as bad as this year, won’t really matter.

There again, I get ESPN+ free with Verizon.

 

[SmokeyDog1973]

This might be good for us actually since 2006 we are have just 4 wins when playing on CBS. Can anybody tell me why the Bammers hate Gary Danielson so bad? I mean they hardly ever lose on CBS hardly ever lose period and aren’t ridiculed and embarrassed and made fun of like we are.

SEC and ESPN Reach Milestone 10-Year Media Agreement

 

[dobre_shunka]

Thr SEC is going to play second banana to the Big 10 in terms of prime kickoff times and coverage in general.

ESPN loves them some Big 10

 

[EODVOL]

I don't know; there is a silver lining. We do not have to hear Gary Danielson's bias anymore. The dude is a complete tool! Lundquist was no better.

Eh, I'm not sure that'll happen. Isn't Big Noon Saturday still, for the foreseeable future, a Fox thing? If that's the Big Ten's game of the week, and the SEC's 5-12 programs consistently put up better television numbers than their Big Ten counterparts, I envision little competition and appreciate the upside of the GOTW being at 7 or 8 PM as opposed to 3:30 PM.

With respect to basketball, however, bullets five and six likely favor the Big Ten over the SEC and I can see a lot of people getting upset when next year's game against Bowling Green gets locked behind the ESPN+ paywall.

 

[SmokeyDog1973]

I see the ESPN ABC SEC contract runs thru 2034 y’all think we will have made it to the SEC title game by 2034?

 

[tastycar]

I've already listened to that intro on YT. I'm gonna miss it.

 

[SmokeyDog1973]

That intro is iconic but I won’t miss constantly getting embarrassed and blown out every fall on CBS while Gary rambles on about nothing while we are down 5 touchdowns to Bama.

 

[Godfatha]

It reminds me of the Chuck Webb Cotton Bowl against Arkansas and many other games when we were good.

Yes. Gary Danielson is the Jeremy Pruitt of announcers

Not at the rate we are going. HIGHLY UNLIKELY

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I wonder how Brad Nessler is feeling right now.

 

[UTwild82]

Man, just think of all that extra money we'll have. Instead of paying a crappy coach 4.5 million a year and having a 15 million buyout, we'll pay a crappy coach 6 million a year with a $25 million buyout. Gonna be awesome.
