A little channel called the SEC Network launched this evening at 6pm Eastern Time with a vignette of former SEC greats and Brent Musburger introducing the studio team, Dari Nowhkah and Maria Taylor. Here’s how Twitter reacted to what they were watching…

I feel bad if you don't have the SEC Network, it's too clutch.

So far, so good, and the network’s only just over three hours old.

Meanwhile, the reaction is sure to be pouring in over the next few days and weeks as the network finds its voice and showcases the programming that it’s promised for the past few months–which should start in earnest in two weeks as the South Carolina Gamecocks take on the Texas A&M Aggies at Williams-Brice Stadium.
