ESPN College Game Day

[ACamp1900]

first show this season will be on Sep. 1st from Blacksburg

Va. Tech vs. East Carolina


good choice I thought

 

[Newc]

They should have a quality memorial...it will be a good one to see.

 

[irishfan]

Anyone think any of our home games have a chance of being the location for Game Day? Maybe USC or BC?

 

[ACamp1900]

SC for sure, espec. if we are anywhere over .500 the BC game maybe also, they'll prob. be undefeated when they come to town

 

[leprechaun4life]

I thought ESPN decided Gameday will only go to ESPN broadcasted games. Since the USC game is at home, it will be televised by NBC.

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

They would be making a HUGE mistake by doing so. IMO, they should be where the big story is, not pushing their own product.

 

[jboxer562]

gameday was the ND two years ago when the game was on NBC vs. USC

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

The way our recruiting is going, they are gonna be real familiar with ND in the next 5 years.

 

[mlcspinner]

They should be there EVERY home game !!!!!

Right, but I think this was put into effect last year, which is why they weren't at the ND-UM game. If I have the story straight, it's the corporate suits that are controlling this. Herbstreit, Corso, etc. want to go to the big games, not just the big ESPN/ABC games.

 

[jboxer562]

i hear ya

 

[KAPLAN]

I think they goto ABC games if it is even close but when there is one game that completly stands out then they goto that one. The week of ND/MI they probably should have been in Auburn for the LSU game. Nothing is funnier than hearing Heirbstreet talk about how they should be somewhere else. They usually goto South Bend at least once a year.

 

[PADOMERNUT]

They usually now try to go to whatever the ABC saturday night game is, b/c herbstreit provides the color commentary with davie at those games. There was one instance last year where they are at auburn vs florida and herbstreit flew to happy valley for psu vs mich which was the sat night ABC game. But for the most part they will go where the night game is. Although i have heard rumors they will be at psu on sept 8th. that game is on espn.

 

[OCIrish]

I know it's not home, but are they gonna be in State College Pa. for the Penn St. game?

 

[gingtoad]

agreed jb. They go to what they think is the game of the week regardless of who is televising.

 

[goirish#1]

I would love to see game day against USC because that is a great rivalry and the national championship team is being recognized with the old green jerseys.

 

[jboxer562]

i think im going to penn state for that game

It is the ESPN 6:00 Game. Oregon at Michigan is the ABC 3:30 game and VT at LSU is the ESPN night game. They are going to VT the week before so I think LSU is out of the question. My money would be on Happy Valley

 

[onenybrother]

I predict GameDay will be in New Jersey this year show casing Rutger's. Espn will benefit tremendously if they can get this market pumped on Rutgers.

.

Agreed.

 

[IrishAubie]

I wish it would be during the BC game personally.

 

[mlcspinner]

I think it will be USC, at home, green tees, and ND could have a pretty good record going into that game

 

[GhostSpirit]

Welcome IrishAubie

 

[SillyIrish]

It will be but if I was a betting man I shouldn't tell who I would take. But luckly I dont bet on teams I follow with my heart.
