Look at the Week 3 schedule nationally and find me a spot that makes more sense. Seriously. Especially if LSU wins tonight and we handle business against Arizona.
College Gameday in Starkville for the LSU game?
- Thread starter MSUDC11-2.0
- Start date
Dark horse pick is Colorado State at Colorado, but ESPN may hold off on featuring CU since they play Oregon and USC the following two weeks.
They’ll go to Rhodes vs Millsaps that week or something like that
I’m afraid this might be the case. Didn’t like the bells.
I did get the sense that they weren’t a big fan in 2014. Just based on several comments that Fowler made to the live crowd.
I want SEC Nation. I can personally middle finger salute Paul Finebaum. He has never been kind to State. I know he kneels at Univ. Of Bama alter. The SEC tv would be much better without him and his crazy callers that sound like they just went to laundromat at the trailer park to use the pay phone to call him.
They're going to feature Colorado early because they need to get in on that story before they inevitably turn into a pumpkin. So don't expect ESPN to wait for a later matchup. They have to strike while the iron is hot.
Yep, LSU getting smoked probably takes it off the table.
So.... Templeton was right...***
It has been interesting to see how abundant cowbells have become at games with the rule change. I could barely hear the Sweet Dreams song. Anyways.... Back in the 80s/90s cowbells were few. Even for OOC games, when we could have them.

No, because they don’t travel to SEC locations since SEC home games aren’t broadcast on Fox. Now, there is a (highly unlikely) chance that a Mississippi State game gets on Fox Big Noon Kickoff, but it would be one of our future road games at Arizona State, Texas Tech, or Minnesota.
I think they send their pregame show to whatever the Big Noon Kickoff game is that week. Fox has made the noon window their big game of the day and that’s where their pregame show normally goes as well.
ESPN has been pinching pennies...layoffs etc....the short commute for the crew/set from bammer to starkvegas would make sense to the bean counters......
No chance now that LSU lost. I'm saying Pitt v. WVU is the play, rivalry game on ABC so Herbie would already be there. Less travel and production costs for those that do both gameday and the ABC game. Other contenders:
South Carolina v. Georgia (any chance to show off the Dawgs)
SDSU v. Oregon State (if SDSU upsets UCLA)
Washington v. Michigan State
Tennessee v. Florida (even though Florida sucks they'll pick this over us)
South Carolina v. Georgia (any chance to show off the Dawgs)
SDSU v. Oregon State (if SDSU upsets UCLA)
Washington v. Michigan State
Tennessee v. Florida (even though Florida sucks they'll pick this over us)
I would say with Fox becoming a bigger player over the past five years and their morning show originating from locations they plan to broadcast, I think going forward ESPN is going to put a lot more focus on College Gameday originating from SEC and ACC locations, with a random Big 12, AAC, Sun Belt, MAC, or FCS game thrown in.
I think Pitt vs WV is a good bet. I think Minnesota vs UNC could be a contender too.
Washington vs Michigan State sounds good and most years would be a contender, but I mean... that game is going to be on Peacock.
That's the only reason I left it off. I can't see them promoting a game that is only streaming on a competitor
