You may not be aware of this, but The CW, yes, The CW, has college football now. They actually aired one of the better games of the weekend with 1-5 Virginia going on the road and beating top-ten North Carolina. But that’s not important right now.
What is important is that you watch the video below in which announcer James Bates fully commits to doing his read for the promo of the show FBoy Island.

Here is a transcription of this iconic moment, via The Big Lead.
“Everyone at home, are you watching Fboy Island? Well, the answer should be F, yeah. Watch an all-new season of Fboy Island only on The CW Mondays at 8/7 Central and stream free the next day on The CW app. Season three has started, by the way. The finale of season two a couple weeks ago was incredible and it is about two or three shows in right now—they’re already kicking Fboys out of there left and right. Nice guys sticking around, they kicked a couple Fboys off, so make sure you’re checking it out on The CW app.”
So good.
And I’ve got good news for you if you’re eating this up like I am. Here is another one from earlier this season.

And here is a look at the man himself showing the copy he is given that he masterfully turns into some of the best entertainment on earth.

NC State plays Clemson at 2pm this weekend on The CW, part of that deal struck ahead of this season that’s seen that Raycom–produced package formerly on the Bally Sports RSNs head to that new network. Come to see if Clemson slides to 2-4 in conference play, but stay for the FBoy Island promos.
