CBS is keeping its iconic music for its upcoming Big Ten football games, causing an SEC Twitter meltdown. Former CBS sideline reporter Jamie Erdahl, however, defended the network for using the music when promoting B1G games.

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.

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.
