SEC football makes its season debut on CBS this week with TCU looking for revenge against an Arkansas team that won in a double OT thriller last year in Ft. Worth. It’s undeniably the sexiest matchup CBS can give us this week seeing as how Auburn is playing at Clemson and thus part of ESPN’s ACC football inventory.

But CBS was always going to disappoint you this week. It was written in the stars since the summer of 2016 when the network announced that Verne Lundquist, the most delightful man to ever put on a headset, would be stepping down from his role on the SEC’s showcase game each week.
