With the first college football games of the 2023 season less than a month away, ESPN revealed its new season-long anthem for the sport on Tuesday.
This year’s song is “Something Real” by Post Malone, which was featured in his new album “AUSTIN,” released on Friday. The network unveiled the choice as part of a highlight video released on social media Tuesday, meant to drive excitement for the new season. The video also highlighted some major storylines for the upcoming season, including Georgia’s quest for a third straight national championship and Alabama looking to get back into the College Football Playoff.
This will get you pumped for the season:
