ESPN Announces This Year's Theme Song For The College Football Season
ESPN Playoff
If you're constantly tuned in to ESPN during pigskin season, you'll likely see the network's college football promo commercials dozens, if not hundreds of times. The Worldwide Leader, much to the dismay of many, uses the same song for every bit. By the end of the year, you'll know every word.
So which song will you know every word to this year? According to Chris Fowler, who used to host College GameDay before giving up the job to Rece Davis last year, this year's song will be "Collider" by the X Ambassadors and Tom Morello. The X Ambassadors are an alternative rock band from Ithaca, New York. Morello, of course, was the guitarist for Rage Against the Machine.
Here's the video for the song, if you're so inclined. It was released on August 1st.
">August 3, 2016
Last year, the tune was "History" by Lauren Alaina. In 2014, it was "Centuries" by Fall Out Boy.
The X Ambassadors were formed in 2009 and released their first full-length album in 2015. The band is comprised of four members - Sam Harris, Casey Harris, Noah Feldshuh and Adam Levin.
ESPN will kick off its college football coverage in 2016 in Sydney, Australia. Hawaii and California are set to meet at ANZ Stadium on Friday, August 26. The Rainbow Warriors and Golden Bears will meet a week before all other teams.
College football's opening weekend will feature a number of important games, so expect to see a number of promos. In the first few days of the season, we'll get to see Kansas State vs. Stanford, Oklahoma vs. Houston, UCLA vs. Texas A&M, LSU vs. Wisconsin, Alabama vs. USC, Florida State vs. Ole Miss, Texas vs. Notre Dame and Auburn vs. Clemson.
