Though SEC fans associate the music with the “SEC on CBS” 3:30 p.m. ET games, the music dates back to CBS covering Super Bowl XXI in 1987.
For those that think the CBS music is just fro the SEC, I give you the intro to Super Bowl XXI all the way back to 1987.https://t.co/tRJWKP8shb

Erdahl joined CBS in 2014 and was the network’s lead reporter for SEC on CBS games with Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson. In July, she left that role to join the NFL Network as a host of Good Morning Football.
