"The ‘Cruiser' adds to CBS Sports' leading SEC football coverage, providing our personalities the ability to further interact with fans and bring the SEC game-day experience to our various broadcast, cable and online programming," said Sean McManus, Chairman, CBS Sports. "With the "5th Quarter" fans now have a platform to discuss all the day's SEC storylines and college football news with Gary."
