Fowler Replaces Musberger on ESPN/ABC College Football

[Infield Infidel]

Musberger will do games for the SEC Network with Jesse Palmer
 
I'm a big Chris Fowler fan so I'm thrilled.
 
He'll still be doing College Gameday, and if the night game isn't at the same location, he and Herbstreit will travel to do the night game

Good move.  
 
I actually like Rece Davis a little better, but I think the Fowler/Palmer pairing will work fine.
 
Musberger responded with class, paraphrasing "I'm 75 years old and was given a three-year offer.  Not too many people my age get offers like that, to do what I've been asked to do.  I don't like to play golf every day so this is great!"
 
(I knew Musberger was old, but I didn't realize he was THAT old.  Good for him!)

Fowler is excellent. Good for him.

Palmer won't be working with Fowler--Palmer gets Musberger.

Fowler is one of the best, I'm glad he's staying with ESPN's college football coverage and that they're keeping Gameday intact. Well, at least for a few more years until Corso is done.
 
Musberger and Palmer together should be just fine for the SEC game, which I presume will be the no. 2 SEC matchup of the day after CBS has their pick. I've always thought Palmer was pretty replacement-level, but I guess they wanted an experienced younger guy from a conference school.

Derp... meant Musberger/Palmer and Fowler/Herbstreit

I like Fowler a lot in studio roll, but remember when he used to do Thursday night games found him a little vanilla.  

 

[Infield Infidel]

with ESPN getting the US Open exclusively in 2015, I wonder if Fowler will still cover that too. Seems like a lot
 
what a life, travel the world covering tennis for 8 months, then 4 months of college football.

Well at least the SEC will be chock full of beautiful women for Musberger to make awkward comments about.
