ESPN's Brent Musburger and Jesse Palmer Lead SEC Network Announce Team

[pmull]

Sports broadcasting legend Brent Musburger will be joined by college football analyst Jesse Palmer in the booth every Saturday on the SEC Network when it launches next fall. The Hall of Fame sportscaster and the former Florida quarterback have each reached an agreement with ESPN to be the lead college football game commentators on the new network. The pair will kick off the season with Texas A&M at South Carolina on the SEC Network Thursday, Aug. 28.

"Brent Musburger is a cultural icon who has been guiding fans through many of sport's most spectacular moments for decades," said John Wildhack, ESPN Executive Vice President, Programming and Production. "His big-game performance and unmistakable style will elevate our football coverage on the SEC Network. Serving as the definitive play-by-play voice for this major network launch represents an exciting new chapter in his legendary career and reinforces our commitment and investment in the SEC Network."

Wildhack continued, "Jesse Palmer has quickly established himself as one of college football's most insightful, entertaining and dedicated analysts. As a former SEC quarterback, he brings the perfect combination of playing experience and deep conference knowledge to the SEC Network. Partnering him with Brent on this new national platform will create a memorable booth for college football fans everywhere."

I would prefer Brad Nessler and Todd Blackledge but they will be OK.

Does CBS still have the no sec games but theirs in the afternoon slot? I am hoping with the SEC Network there will be more afternoon games and less early starts like 11:00.

I'm not sure, but with a big name like Musburger, I'm guessing they will cut into that slot or go prime time.

I guess that means SEC fans will be overwhelmed with images of the qb's girlfriends more often now, huh?

And how great the UF football program is, regardless if they go 0-10.

I just hope our new QB has a good looking girlfriend because we will be seeing her often with Musburger in the house.

I was debating whether to subscribe, but with a name like Musburger, you know it will be quality coverage.   



(I doubt they can use the CBS game time slot.)

The more I think about it Musburger will be OK but Palmer is going to be awful. Too bad they did not team Musburger with Kirk Herbstieit. I like Herby enough though he is a Big 10 guy.

I hope Nessler and Blackledge are a part of the SEC Network. They may move them to the Saturday ABC Big 12 game Musburger called the last few years.

Nessler and Blackledge are the best, hands down, so I hate to see that they will not be THE team. Musberger is OK, but Palmer is terrible.
