ESPN Unveils 2024 College Football Anthem: Love it or hate it

If you have been on social media in the last few hours, you have probably seen that ESPN has released their new college football anthem for the 2024 season. It is, well, an interesting choice.

Jelly Roll has been selected as the featured artist, and his latest single, ‘Get By’, which is part of his upcoming album, is the song chosen. ESPN typically picks one song to serve as their anthem for the season and creates a hype video to accompany it. While the video packs a punch, the song doesn’t quite fit the bill.

So, if you are a fan of Jelly Roll, this may really excite you. But if you are like me and aren’t familiar with Jelly Roll or don’t care for his music, you might be scratching your head a bit. You would think ESPN would choose a track that would inspire more hope and excitement for an upcoming season full of new beginnings.

The video itself is impressive. It features teams from various colleges, from Boise State and Rutgers to Iowa, showcasing highlights of big plays and players celebrating on the field.

However, compared to past seasons, this song selection falls short. Songs from previous years like ‘Centuries’ by Fall Out Boy or ‘Hope’ by NF seem to have set a higher bar.

In the end, whether you love it or hate it, it is the anthem that has been chosen. So be prepared to either turn up the volume and dance in your living room or hit the mute button as fast as possible, because this song will be on every single Saturday until the season ends.
