we get the homer Philpot calling the broadcast for ESPN.
Guess I'll be muting the sound and turning on the radio.

NOTHING is as bad as Todd Ellis ("...the 40, 45, 50, 55 yard line!") and rube Tommy Suggs.

Jesus WTF

Agree, they're awful, but they do work for the Gamecock Radio Network. ESPN should do better. Much better.

Btw, I'm totally fine with Herbstreit calling Ohio State games because he has proven his professionalism repeatedly over many years. Philpott is a third rate jack off.

This whole thing, the timing and the non-premier broadcast team, is ESPN's revenge on UPC for not taking the Black Friday slot. We are being punished. I don't blame UPC, but this is retribution. Mark-it.

It is weird to me that with only two ranked matchups, they are going to the B team crew. But still, I’ll take noon for an away game any day. I don’t want a night game on the road. We talk about how a night game at Willy B is an advantage, so I don’t want to give the Tiggers the same advantage.

No doubt. If Dabo the Clown hadn't decided to be a whiny baby about playing on Friday the game would have likely been the 3:30 game on ABC. A 3:30 game on Friday would have been much better for the merchants and restaurants and bars in Clemson and much better for all the fans from a tailgate perspective and getting in and out of that hell hole town than a noon kickoff on Saturday. UGA/GT is the 7:30 game Friday and ABC could have billed the day as an "SEC vs ACC Rivalry" package.

For what it's worth; I would feel exactly the same way if Beamer had done what Dabo did.

This is more like the C team.

I'm definitely not complaining about the kick time.

Could be worse, could’ve gotten Beth Mowins.

I like ESPN's crew of Sean McDonough, Greg McElroy and Molly McGrath. They are always informed and call a good game.

Dabo needed that extra day of practice

A lot of people throwing shade at Dabo for not wanting Black Friday. I’m glad the game is on Saturday (when college football games should be). Tiny detail that doesn’t effect the team but is a part of gameday is that USC’s band is in the Macy’s Day parade on Thursday. Playing the game on Saturday saves USC money for not having to get the band back from New York and to the clemson game so quickly. That would be pretty tight travel if they had to get back to a game on Friday.
