CBS does a fine job, was really surprised the SEC left them. I like the all access we get now with CBS, NBC, FOX and BTN but nostalgia for me is a Saturday afternoon game with Brad Nessler and Bob Greise on ABC 20 or so years ago... and you always knew it was a big game if Keith Jackson was calling it.

Gary Danielson started out at espn analyzing games. I thought he was one of the best and he still is, very knowledgeable. I didnt watch must SEC unless it was a super big game.

I absolutely love never having to turn on an ESPN network. Hadn't watched anything on it other than live sporting events for years, and now other than the CFP/NY6 I can't remember the last time I watched ESPN or ESPN2. If there's a high profile SEC game going down to the wire that I want to catch, it's typically on ABC.

So much different than when I was growing up and a young man; ESPN was on in my house probably 12 hrs a day....

An iconic voice.

For sure, Sportscenter replaying on a loop all morning. I also used to like watching ESPN outdoors on Saturday and Sunday mornings if I was awake lol.

I think the game ended early which is why they had so much post game coverage.

The “chippy” highlight real was….a choice.
Agreed. I was expecting a MN version after that.

With that said, glad to see Iowa playing with an edge. Haven't heard the "Bullies of the Big Ten" moniker in a while.

Gary Danielson may be the best color commentator in college football. It's a shame he's retiring at the end of this season. And Brad Nessler is a throwback to guys like Keith Jackson. The CBS coverage on Saturday was the best in a long, long time. Danielson, in particular, was spot on with his analysis and his observations about Iowa that were all positive but in context.

The postgame stuff was excellent as well, and it was totally unexpected.

The stark difference between CBS’s coverage and Peacock’s coverage was obvious. Other than the gaff with Minnesota’s field goal, I thought the coverage was excellent.

Peacock is worse coverage than the local highschool football broadcasts on YouTube.

Peacock is on par with BTN+ basketball games with college students running the broadcast.

Have we had a game on BTN yet this year? Good thing we have our own conference network LOL

The UMASS game was on BTN and was a horrible production. Didn't even have live PBP announcers at the game as I recall.

Not only that, with Peacock the DVR or replay the game is complete BS. Having to sit through commercials a second time in nonsense.

This is bullsh*t. Peacock’s broadcasts are great, generally better than BTN and FS1. You just mad because you don’t like paying for the streaming service, so you’re pretending like it’s ESPN+ quality to make yourself feel better about not liking it.

Don’t like it? Upgrade to their highest package. Stop being poor.
