If I'm a Chick-fil-A exec, I'm p'ed with ESPN
Sep 2, 2012, 1:05 PM

How many millions of $$$ do you think Chick-fil-A paid ESPN for the Chick-fil-A college football kick off weekend?? On Labor Day weekend, no less.
And then, have ESPN NOT broadcast the first 11.5 minutes of the game that ESPN had spent all week promoting as their premier, prime-time Saturday night game. Not the pre-game part, not the kick off, and not the first two series by AU & CU. The first eleven and half minutes missing in order to watch the end of the Gators & Bollin' Green. Who made this decision?
If I was a Chick-fil-A exec, think I'd be demanding someone's head and a large $$$ refund come Tuesday AM.

It pissed me off to miss opening kickoff because of that! All be cause of retarded UF who couldn't even take a knee without getting a false start to drag it out even longer. I can't believe it was that inportant to finish every sec of that game.

You must remember when you watch ESPN you are watching the SEC on ESPN.

they would have cut away from it in a second. To me it was nothing more than pandering to the Florida crowd.

I was watching the Florida game in SC and they switched over before the BGSU and UF game finished. I figured it was like that everywhere. Sucks you had to miss it. The first possession wasn't anything to write home about though.

Or at least thought they were by switching over so they could see the Tigers win.

It's not funny when you have to explain it but here it goes. Time Warner Cable in Columbia was switched to the game right before kick off. My sarcastic point being not for the Clemson fans that were pulling for the "one mascott" tiger school, but for all the Gamecock fans that wanted to see Clemson lose.

Charleston. It had to be the different cable systems depending on the region. Reece Davis even came on and said they were switching over to the start of the game and would keep viewers posted on the Florida game.

COLLEGE: A three-year starter at strong safety for Clemson, finished his career with 234 tackles and 11 interceptions.
