The SEC on CBS Signs Off 

Brad Nessler is such class. Dude did everything he could possibly do not to choke up . Thank you SEC on CBS

End of a great era. Tuning into the SEC on CBS and hearing the theme at 3:30 on Saturdays in the Fall was the move. Thank you, CBS, for the memories.

Thanks to CBS Sports for making the SEC the best conference in the country. From play by play announcers Jim Nantz to Sean McDonough, and from Verne Lundquist to Brad Nessler, the analysts from Terry Donahue to Todd Blackledge all the way to Gary Danielson. I’m not from SEC country, but I can tell you this, I want thank this network for helping make SEC football more watchable and fun to tune in

Its rare to get a heartfelt sign off like this anymore in todays age. Glad to see it here ❤

For all 28 years of my life, I have watched my Auburn Tigers, and the SEC, and some of the greatest moments in college football all on CBS. Truly sad to see this new era take this away.. thank you CBS

Gonna be weird not hearing that intro song every week. Its been around forever. It always got me hyped for the game at hand. Thanks for all the hard work over the years. Flawless coverage throughout.

The SEC on CBS produced some of my fondest football memories. I can’t imagine anyone other than Verne Lundquist calling the 2013 Iron Bowl, for example. Thank you, CBS.

Great job by CBS Network in covering the SEC all these years, top notch coverage and analysis, made watching the games a pleasure.

thank you CBS for all the memories in the SEC

At 24 years old I still get tingles in my spine when I hear the music

Thank you CBS Im not in SEC Country, but am a huge fan of that conference. You made my years in high school, college, and even into my early adulthood really memorable with a lot of these moments on Saturday afternoons.

Congratulations CBS crew members fantastic job ! It’s unmatched

The CBS crew was a crew that knew what the SEC is all about. And it showed in the way they presented the games and the conference. I pray it still has the same feel going forward in the future... But I doubt it will ever be topped by what CBS did for the SEC. Praying for success and many thanks for this crew.

Thanks to CBS Sports for making the SEC the BEST CONFERENCE in the country. From Jim Nantz, Craig Bolerjack, Sean McDonough, Verne Lundquist, Brad Nessler, Terry Donahue, Ed Cunningham, Aaron Taylor, Randy Cross, Andre Ware, Dean Blevins, Steve Beuerlein, Todd Blackledge, Gary Danielson, Michelle Tafoya, Gus Johnson, Mike Mayock, Danny Sheridan, Pat O'Brien, Craig James, Lou Holtz, Tim Brando, Jill Arrington, Tracy Wolfson, Jamie Erdahl, Jenny Dell PURE CLASS

What. An. ERA. So beyond privilege the witness the Golden Age of the conference.

Great team work you guys have done. Thanks on a job well done.

I'm a BIG10 fan, but I have to admit. Every week I was checking out the afternoon SEC game on CBS because it was always a good matchup. Obviously, the coverage was top notch.

Thank you Brad and Gary. Your calls have been amazing over the years. Class acts, good luck next year with the Big 10 on CBS! You guys are awesome

Being born in the 2000’s, I’ve grown up watching many iconic moments on CBS. I’m really gonna miss that intro music…

Thank you for everything you have done. I remember hearing the 3:30 theme song every Saturday and watching football.

It was love at first sight. Thanks for the memories, SEC on CBS. That theme will always be legendary. Goodbye, old friend. Here's to ESPN giving the SEC some more respect.

Brad Nessler was a such a phenomenal replacement for Verne Lundquist. Brad and Verne are men of integrity and pure class, and it has been an absolute pleasure listening to them announce games. I will definitely not miss hearing Gary Danielson's shrill voice hating on Alabama anymore (I still respect Gary, though). But, I will miss the production level, expertise from announcers to analysts, and that ever so favorite music for SEC Saturdays. That musical piece has always gotten me pumped up and ready to watch a game. I've been along for the ride for the last 17 years. Thank you, CBS Sports, for a great home to the SEC and nationalizing a regional product. Thank you for the memories, the professionalism, and being the best ambassadors to the SEC you could. ESPN has massive shoes to fill. Good luck to you guys and all the crew in your future assignments.

Thank you CBS for bringing us such wonderful program over the years. Best wishes!

Sad as this might be, next season will be a homecoming of sorts for Brad and Gary. They will be reuniting with the Big Ten as they were voice of Big Ten football at 11 am during the 1990's on ESPN. For us Big Tens who remember those times, they ,along with the late Adrian Karsten on the sidelines, were considered to be the best in the game. They were the voice of the Big Ten back then. To that I say, "Welcome Home, Guys".

After 28 seasons of SEC Football on CBS, and 23 seasons of the "SEC on CBS", it was time to say goodbye on December 2, 2023 and look at all of the memorable moments of SEC Football during its near three-decade tenure on CBS. It was a bittersweet day for people of a certain age who grew up in the South and in SEC Country during the 2000s and the 2010s, myself included. As an Alabama fan who was born and raised in Knoxville, TN during the first 20 years of this century, I have fond memories of watching SEC Football on CBS at 3:30 in the afternoon on Saturdays during the Fall. From the Hobbnail Boot in 2001 to the Ultimate Camback in 2010. From Auburn's miracle wins against Georgia and Alabama in 2013 to Alabama's 4th and 31 against Auburn in 2023. Whether it be Tennessee storming the Neyland field and tearing down the goal posts after their win against Florida in 1998 to Tennessee doing the same thing 24 years later in the same building after defeating Alabama. And every other field storming after beating Alabama from Ole Miss in 2014 to Texas A&M in 2021 to Auburn three times in 2013, 2017, and 2023, the SEC on CBS was there for some of the biggest, most memorable, and most important moments in the history of not only the Southeastern Conference, but College Football as a whole. So as we prepare for the SEC to leave CBS for ABC, and CBS replacing SEC Football with B1G football (it's going to be odd seeing a B1G football game with that CBS theme music), let us remember where we were and what we were doing when those moments happened.

Awesome send-off...I hate this. CBS should always have the 3:30 game for the SEC.

I love CBS coverage they let you hear the bands in the stadium!!! I'm gonna miss the opening CBS montage. Cuz when you heard it you knew it was about to be ON!!!!!!!!

The two announcers of college football that have made me a longtime fan are Keith Jackson and Brad Nessler.

This is so bittersweet i watched sec on cbs since i was a teenager. Man it was an awesome ride.

Never cared for the SEC, but you can't deny that the SEC on CBS had one of the greatest TV theme songs of all time. In fact, it transcends being a goated sports theme song. It's one of the best songs to come from the 80s. Saturdays will never be the same without that glam metal-ish instrumental playing on CBS.

Thank you CBS for all the great sec calls and memories

Listening to that CBS intro as the drone camera hovers over Michigan Stadium is going to be beautiful

Always looked forward the BAMA on CBS. Thanks for all of your hard work.

I grew up watching the top SEC football games on ABC in the 80s and early 90s so, just like Roger Daltrey said...'🎶Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!🎶'

Truely a special ride I’ve watched SEC on CBS for what feels like forever whenever I hear that iconic theme song with the Home Depot logo that is SEC football nothing will ever change that tons of amazing games and memories gonna miss it a lot for sure. On to a new era in 2024 gonna be a lot but sure it’ll be fun. Nothing will ever top this and we won’t forget it Thank you CBS for all the years

Goosebumps and choked up. What a time it's been.

Come back to this just to hear their voices, so many Saturdays hearing their voices, love them

Thank you guys. We will remember them voices forever.

Thanks for the memories, SEC on CBS

Thank you CBS for everything yall have done for the SEC and I'm truly gonna miss watching the SEC on CBS and yall have produced some of the best moments in College Football history and thank yall CBS good luck to yalls new conference next and thank yall for all the joy yall have brought to so many of us thank you CBS and we'll truly miss yall on the SEC

From a HUGE DAWG fan, you guys have been great!! And Gary, your insight, knowledge of the game and unbiased commentary (some won't agree) was second to none!!! Wish you guys the best!!!

The way today's broadcast was opened was nothing short of brilliant. You should take the time to post a clip of it also.

Thanks CBS for the many memories the last 25 seasons and so long to “The SEC on CBS” it’s going to be wried next season not hearing that iconic CBS college football theme being played as an SEC game comes on

They made an SEC fan out of me and I live in ACC country. I will miss those voices around the house on Saturdays in the fall. Good luck guys!!!

Thank you for your professionalism. The prodcasts have always been great to watch.

I can still remember Brad Nessler from when he was a fairly new sports reporter for WGST News Radio Atlanta, way back in the late 70's/early 80's, nowhere close to getting hooked up with over the air broadcasts yet, but already he was a class act...man, he's come a long way since then!!!

i have loved these guys brad and gary are two of the best and it has been one hell of a ride thank u sec on cbs u have made me a fan for a long time and now its time to turn the page but it wont be easy

Great send-off....really enjoyed the ride CBS!

Mannnnnn the SEC on CBS always has had great moments ik they say change is good bt it’s gonna suck not to hear Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson and the rest of the amazing crew they have on CBS who’s been good to the SEC for over two decades and as an LSU fan I’ve seen the best and the worst of times with my team bt the one thing tht keeps me engaged is the great commentary so from me to y’all thank u CBS

Never forget what they took from us. I can’t believe this is going to ESPN 😢

I’ll always remember the CBS jingle before every commercial break.

This was enough to make a grown man cry

Thank you CBS, Ive always loved CBS coming announcing games, you both make the sport so fun, quality, and sound. I hope the SEC made a smart choice by doing this... Thank you CBS, Ive seen the best games on this network!

Nothing like a Saturday with some sec football on cbs. In the good old south. You guys would be missed

Hysterical that Gary Danielson signs off his CBS broadcast tenure with ABC Sports’ old slogan. The Tiffany guys in suits behind the eye had to just LUV that!

My favorite football... SEC on CBS with these two fellas. Thanks boys

I’m so thankful for growing up watching you all . This is simply just not right . I am gonna miss you all breaks my heart I always waited for the fall , music , intros …. Sad day

Total Professionals, Spot on 👏👏👏

Thanks for the memories CBS!!

I was a member of CBS Crew it was honor to bring the SEC . To the people I work with we made history thank you !!!

The end of an era. We love you! You'll be missed.

Thank u CBS for the memories

Thanks CBS for your time with SEC.

Thanks SEC on CBS. Pure class.

Y’all have commentated on ever SEC Championship I’ve ever watched. I’ve really take. You for granted. Had no idea you were leaving. Best commentators on any college games..

This sucks I'm really going to miss this coverage. It brings me back to a better time when my Dad was still around we would watch the games together. Maybe one day it will return hopefully.

I almost got emo on this day, Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson were the best crew combo at it. They made every 3:30 SEC on CBS game a pleasure to watch and it simply won't be the same without them. Roll Tide!!!

Even as someone who doesn't like the SEC in terms of fandom (West Coaster), SEC on CBS and the theme was just a Saturday staple, a mix that will be missed

Gonna miss you guys and the theme music. Thank you for a great ride!

We love y'all. Awesome job. Thank y'all for all you have done. ♥️

Many great memories watching the SEC on CBS

Thank God we are done with Gary Danielson!!! I'm glad the sec is moving. Good riddance to bad rubbish!!

Over the years people have liked to give Gary a hard time, but I really enjoyed his commentary on CBS. He always came across as very knowledgeable about the game and did a great job of highlighting key formations, personnel groupings, and play design during the broadcast. Salute to these guys, I think they did an excellent job.

This year just won't be the same without the SEC on CBS! There was something special about that opening song. You just knew it was Saturday in the South during the fall.

I can't stand the SEC or any of its teams, but CBS always put on great broadcasts. I used to watch the games when nothing else was on or my team wasn't playing. Everyone involved did an excellent job producing and broadcasting these games.

Thank you gentlemen for calling the games so well.

Thanks for 28 seasons of excellent SEC coverage, CBS Sports. I always looked forward to seeing Florida's games on there and it was a hell of a ride. ABC's coverage definitely won't feel the same.

It’s been a pleasure gentlemen! I hope the tides turn in the future and we get you guys back!

So many great games and memories!

It would've been interesting to see Texas and OU games on CBS.

Thanks gentlemen

Really shocked Gary didn’t take an opportunity to talk about Alabama in that sound off

Man I'm going to miss that epic music

Thank you CBS!

It will never be the same! Cbs best college football broadcast!!! They will be back!!

Damn, just that theme alone, the memories of something crazy happening, then going to commercial with that epic music playing......not gonna be the same😞

Thank God!!

GOODBYE SEC ON CBS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! You mean so much to me. Ill miss you

Enough to make a grown man cry

Thank you CBS!!!

Thank you, CBS!!!

Well done CBS, well done. The SEC is indebted forever for what you did for football in the south.

Thank you, Gary!

Bro it be weird asf not hearing that cbs sec colleb

The SEC on CBS has been going since before I was born. Florida won its first National Title back in 1996 when the SEC was on CBS

Play-By-Play: Chris Fowler Color Analyst: Gary Danielson Sideline Reporter: Holly Rowe Rules Expert: Matt Austin

Goodby fellas! Enjoyed many games that were broadcast on your network! Not sure what comes next for college football but good luck to you guys!

Thank you CBS. And most importantly, thank you Brad and Gary, you’ve made college football everything for me for my entire life

End of an incredible era. Glad I grew up on this

I wish it showed the montage of throughout the years and the 3.2.1 countdown before fading into static and to nothing. That hit me ngl. That would’ve added about 5 mins
