Rece Davis replacing Chris Fowler on College Gameday

Al A Bama · Feb 6, 2015

I liked Fowler, but I also like Rece. I like Corso. I always liked to see him pick the other team vs Alabama. It just made me feel more confident that Bama would win! The helmet or team mascot on his head was great. BUT, it's time for Corso to go also. There is a time and a place for everything! Corso gives no real analysis. It pains me sometimes to listen to him when you know he is having a tough time speaking fluently.

So, it's time to go out and find a comedian type coach who has been fired from the East Coast to the West Coast! Now, who could that be? No!! Not Mack Brown! I'm still thinking. Is Corso going to be there until they bury him?

Didn't go far enough. Need to pink slop Palmer and Musburger or at least put both of them calling ACC games only.

I would praise them for keeping those two, if only they would FIRE that FSU HOMER! Yes! That's Danny Boy K.

I can tolerate Muffburger. Palmer is god awful. He can shut his gator trap

Only 20% of fans will even know there is a difference since most of them think Fowler and Davis are the same person!

I'll have to admit, I'm one of those 80% - I can't tell them apart.

Amen! Rece is the modern day young Al Michaels. He's very intelligent, knows the college game well, good looking, not pompous, and thinks on his feet very well. IMO, he's the best man ESPN has. I'd like him no matter where he went to school.

Yeah, but it helps that he's a Reese Phifer alum.

And, he's from the Shoals... double good!

Looking forward to the change, though there is a tinge of "Don't mess with my show."

I like Fowler but like Rece better. Now, if we can just get him to be a real advocate for the Tide like Herb is for OSU.............

Corso had said he was going to retire either nest year or this - unless he's reversed himself...

I had an exchange with Rece right after ESPN hired him. He was the sportscaster at a station somewhere in the upper Midwest. I commented that he must be making the big bucks now in Connecticut. He laughed and said that, no, what they liked to do was to reach down and pick up young guys like him because they didn't have to pay him much. I'd bet that's no longer the case for him...

Yeah they like to claim him in Guin too since he went school there through the 5th grade I believe.

I like Rece and am happy that he got the position that he wanted, but I would have enjoyed seeing him go to another network and make a positive change. I grow tired of ESPN and wish that they had a strong competitor in the college football market.

I agree with this and selfishly would like to see him at some point takeover the SEC on CBS lead position.

1. Reece is not ashamed to say he's from Alabama & that hid dad who passed last year was one of the biggest fan.

he is just honest & not phony.

im really liking all the guys on the SEC network you got 3 that played for CNS..

Not so fast, my friend!

Rece was on Joxs this morning. Good interview by the Morning Drive team.

College game day is in very good hands going forward.

One question they asked was about how Rece saw his role..."Are you like a moderator?"

Rece was quick to say that Chris did offer his opinion from time to time, but I see Rece as one who may be a little more outspoken in that role...more so than Chris was...and I look forward to that.

He'll do a great job!
