Florida vs. Samford, Game Thread: Hope streams eternal

Time was, the banishment of a college football team in the SEC was either to pay-per-view or to the Jefferson-Pilot/Raycom tier. The SEC Network has effectively replaced the latter broadcasts, and while the ESPN veneer helps confer a bit more legitimacy to those airings, the PPV broadcasts of yesteryear were generally of even lower quality.

Thankfully, colleges have now ceded enough rights to ESPN and other entities that those games, too, have gone the way of the dodo — except in the sense that games like today’s Florida-Samford tilt are still arguably “pay-per-view” affairs.

See, you can get this game via your cable subscription.
