In case you missed it...
Big & Rich and ESPN's "College Game Day" have parted ways after 16 years. Their "Comin' To Your City" was the opening theme since 2007 - and the kick-off to every college football weekend since then. ESPN teased a big announcement about a new theme song and new artists, saying the torch was being passed to unnamed "extremely talented artists." Now we know who - and what - we'll be hearing at the beginning of each episode of "College Game Day" Taking over: Darius Rucker, Lainey Wilson and The Cadillac Three. And the new theme song? Is the old theme song - as they will be doing an updated version of "Comin' To Your City." Find out how that sounds this Saturday morning at 9am on ESPN. See what all three artists had to say about their new gig below...
