Stephanie Druley, ESPN Senior Vice President:
“For me, two nights stand out. Launch night in Charlotte. It was the culmination of a year’s hard work by so many people. The energy and excitement from everyone involved was amazing.”
“The second night was opening football night in South Carolina. The opening segment of that game was fantastic. Our goal was to take make the fans at home feel like they were inside the stadium for the “Sandstorm” tradition in Columbia. The production team did a fantastic job. It was the perfect mix of pictures and natural sound with Brent Musburger’s voice coming and going at just the right time. That night set the standard for football on the SEC Network.”
