Likely broadcast team for Notre Dame-Purdue game on CBS unveiled

Will you enjoy listening to this crew?

We don’t know how Notre Dame will perform during its Sept. 14 game at Purdue, its third contest of the season. We do know that it will be broadcast on CBS as the primary game on that network’s Big Ten coverage. Now, we also know who most likely will be on the call for that game.

CBS Sports has announced that it has retained its lead college football broadcast team of Brad Nessler, Gary Danielson and Jenny Dell for the 2024 season. The team is set to announce every game in the network’s 3:30 p.m. EDT time slot. Since the Irish will be facing the Boilermakers on CBS at that time, it’s a safe assumption that they’ll be calling this game.

It will be nice to see the Irish get the top broadcast team on a network they typically don’t play on. If that’s not a sign of a respect towards them, it’s hard to know what is.

Dolly Parton delightfully interrupted the Georgia-Tennessee broadcast by singing off-camera

Dolly Parton singing during Brad Nessler’s game commentary is the kind of broadcast interruption we love.

The highlight of college football Saturday so far has been Dolly Parton singing “Rocky Top” at Tennessee to the Vols crowd, as the music icon went back home to celebrate her favorite football team.

Well, Parton’s delightful time at Tennessee also featured inadvertently singing the song during a break in her interview with CBS Sports’ Jenny Dell.

It also happened while CBS Sports broadcaster Brad Nessler was calling a play during Tennessee’s game against Georgia. So, as Nessler was talking, Parton was softly singing “Rocky Top” again for the folks at home.

Look, while some broadcast interruptions can be annoying, this one was quite literally the exact opposite. It’s the kind of charming coincidence that makes Parton one of our most beloved personalities.

Dell joked after the play that she felt like she had a personal concert from Parton while she was singing during the break, which is the kind experience most of us would dream to have at a Tennessee game.

This is the kind of broadcast magic that makes college football special, as viewers at home got to hear Parton sing and Nessler call a play at the same time.
