Bg get for FS1. He'll do football and basketball as well.

I bet his radio show gets some airtime as well eventually.

Stewart Mandel also going to FOX... they've put a lot of recent money into college football analysts.

Agreed, although I wanted to see him land at the SEC Network -- just makes a lot of sense to me given his love of SEC Football.

 

All-in-all I like Timmy B, he's extremely fan-friendly on social media, probably to a fault. I didn't like when he went on his "Jason Collins is not a hero" monologue. I realize he's "traditional" on this issue, but it clearly transcended sports. Nonetheless, in this case like elsewhere, he was willing to interact with opposing POVs and did so in a respectful manner despite the hate being spewed in his direction.

@MrCFB Happy to make it official today that I'm going to @SECNetwork for the 2014 season. Excited about the opportunity. More info later.

That's Tony Barnhart, great pickup for the SEC Network.
