In case you've missed all of the commercials, the SEC Network is coming to a TV near you this August. Today, the network announced its lead announcers:
Brent Musburger and Jesse Palmer. The two will be in the booth every Saturday, starting on August 28th for the Texas A&M at South Carolina game. Here's the release from the SEC:
“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.”
Musburger was calling the national game of the week with Kirk Herbstreit, and it's expected that Chris Fowler will take over that spot.
Odds Musburger's making a pitch for Katherine Webb to be the sideline reporter?
