ESPN/ABC release for 2015 studio teams - Mark May is back
Reports of Mark May's demise were premature. He has now moved to the ABC studio coverage with John Saunders. The new ESPN Saturday studio trio is Adnan Virk, Danny Kanell, and Joey Galloway. That is terrible. College Football Final will now be hosted by Joe Tessitore, but they have not named any replacements yet for May and Lou Holtz. As reported earlier, Rece Davis now takes over College Gameday replacing Chris Fowler.
Here is the full release: http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2015/07/new-faces-set-for-espn-college-football-studio-shows-this-fall/
Mark May is basically the WalMart of on-air personalities.
May has nothing to do with cost cutting. He has a year left on his deal. This is just a reassignment for him.
Thanks for ruining the mood
This will probably be his last year if that makes you feel better.
Why hate Mark May? He badmouths Notre Dame and Ohio State all the time and never seems to have anything bad to say about us.
Because he isn't all there.
We've been too terrible to say anything about. No one wants to make fun of the handicapped kid.
He never had an issue with us even when we were winning. He hates the buckeyes and I'd love to listen to somebody talk about how Cardale Jones doesn't play school during halftime of a Ohio St game and how Pitt is a much better school or something else instead of blowing Urban.
Matt Dillon does. Have you seen my baseball?

He is king troll to OSU and ND. For that he is somewhat tolerable.
Mark May who he is. I don't have a problem with him, he brings something to the table. I like Danny Kanell, he has good insight on college football. Joey Galloway is not really my favorite.
I will not miss Lou Holtz and that Dr. Lou crap he had.
more coherent English than Lou Holtz. And I slobber less.
This is true, and what's also true is that Joey Galloway is proof that anything can get worse. Boring at best, incoherent typically, a moron at worst.
Too lazy to google so I'll ask. What is being done with Fowler?
Believe he is going to annouce games.
Got it. I guess the next step is phasing out Herbie and Desmond.
Nobody is being phases out. This is actually a promotion for Fowler as now he will be the PBP guy for prime time games.

Yeah, now that I think about it, you're right and I guess Herbie as well since he will be the color guy. Maybe they will get Des to be the new Lynn Swann for college?
I liked Rece calling games and Fowler on Game Day. I'm a fan of Joe Tes too. I'm not so sure I'm going to like all the moving around. I can deal with DK some but Joey Galloway is so bad. It's not an anti OSU bias either. He is just plain awful.
Joey Galloway is awful.
One of the worst. So dry and bland it's numbing.
there is no one ESPN worse than him. It's not an OSU thing, Herbie is fine and Speilman is tolerable. Galloway should be kicked in the teeth so he can never speak again. Harsh...but accurate.
who I think is actually really good. I think he's very good at analysis during games, and like his old school "wrap him up" approach. Herbie is "fine" and Galloway awful. Tesitore do not like either.
I'm sad this year because despite all of May and Holtz' many faults, I enjoyed their and Rece's highlights coverage, and Fowler was my favorite part of Gameday. And since I'm a loser who watches as much College football as humanly possible at the expense of any other activity, actually making sure I'm up and in front of the TV at 9 for Gameday, and watching college football final late night, this is not a good set of changes.
Ot anyone know if the TV schedule has been released for the season yet? I need to figure out if I need to add BTN to my cable package or maybe try btn go or whatever the online streaming is named.
Actually don't mind Adnan Virk hosting but he's no Rece

Mark May is terrible

Galloway can barely speak. Far worse than Mark May.

He's a buckeye. He'd be lucky to have a normal karyotype.
Sad to say Andre Ward is better than Galloway. At least Ward is gone

Fowler was a legend of the business, sad to see him move off Gameday. As tacky and at times SEC-loving as ESPN can be, no pregame/studio show in sports is as fun as College Gameday. Rece Davis will be fine I'm sure, but it's disappointing that we're hitting the end of an era.
Rece is probably the best possible replacement for him. I always liked him. Plus, he gets bonus points for calling us Meeeechigan ala Ufer.

Rece and Fowler are the same people. I've never seen them together on any show.
Couldn't agree more. Fowler has been a staple of my football Saturday's for as long as I can remember.

Herbstreit. Heard him on Dan Patrick's show (when Patrick was still with ESPN), and he really bad mouthed the Michigan fanbase some time ago.
Fuck that guy.
He takes shots at Michigan and the B10 in general whenever he gets a chance which is every Saturday.
he was right to do so. the B10 WAS not as good as the SEC and a couple other conferences, and neither were we.
Joey freaking Galloway! The absolute worst! I will be changing or at least muting the channel during studio updates. On a positive note at least he won't be doing any more games... I truly hate hearing him speak.
I already knew he was being moved to ABC. Thought that was common knowledge. I like Mark.
EDIT: This news was definitely announced at least a month back, possibly longer.
I will forever miss (for the humor value) the segment from several years where Lou gave one team a halftime "Pep Talk". I only caught it once, and I couldn't even laugh, because I was so damn confused at what the hell was happening.

He is a pompous know it all who knows very little.
Too bad. I despise his anti-Michigan rhetoric.
Lou Holtz and Mark May were stupid personified
Kannell AND Galloway on one horrible show? That might actually be worse than May and Holtz.
Maybe they should have Lee Corso dropping random F-bombs and shooting muskets, all while wearing a coonskin cap, in the background.
