ESPN College Gameday

Re: ESPN College Gameday

I don't believe the Louisville/Duke game was ever a possiblity. Their game was set for Noon since the beginning of the season. The only other possible game would have been WVU/Texas. That game and the ISU game were the only flex games on the schedule.
I remember because Louisville fans were all upset since their game wasn't even considered.

CyDave, Now that you mention it, I think you are correct. The WV/Texas game fell off my radar when Texas started its slide.

The main point of my post was the fact that the decision to come to Ames wasn't made until very recently. Is that true?

Correct. I believe it was made official January 6th, with the game being on the 17th.

Saw on Twitter that sources confirmed the McLeod Center is under consideration for Gameday on the 31st. What does it all take to make this happen?

They moved us from ESPN2 to ESPN already. I have also heard since last week that 3pm tip is no longer set in stone. So....

Man, that would be awesome. It is almost too good to believe.

Iowa State set the bar pretty high for hosting GameDay. It was nuts. 6000 showed up at 9am to watch the pre-recorded first hour and a live hour at 10am.

Wow, I didn't think this was even remotely possible, but if its true they have already moved our game to ESPN, that means something.

Man oh man would this be awesome. Keep winning boys...

First off we need to keep winning, secondly maybe start a social media campaign. I was looking for the gameday twitter, but could only find the football version.

The social media campaign needs to start from the athletic department. They are looking for ways to get students to attend, this would be a good start. The program isn't to a point where we should be too proud to beg.

If you're looking for someone to tweet at, start with Bilas and the other hosts of gameday.

It's not probable but it is a legitimate possibility. ..

Jeg I'm not getting my hopes up too high, but when they are starting to mess with the time of the game and stuff, you wonder if they are planning on coming, they like making an appearance at a Mid Major once a year, and we could be it.

Re: ESPN College Gameday

I believe they would announce 11 days out, which would be tomorrow, fyi.

[PantherChic]

So do you suppose that would get students to finally take notice?!

Re: ESPN College Gameday

They will probably announce in the next day or two, but you should cheer against Virginia. Whenever their next game is... It would be tough for them to pass up the #2 undefeated team hosting a top 5 ranked Duke. Not to mention ESPN loves their ACC.
Assuming UNI and WSU keep winning and stay ranked, I think there's a really good chance they go to WSU when UNI goes there. Even though UNI wouldn't be hosting it, it would still be great publicity. Having your game aired on ESPN primetime is a pretty big deal as it is.

Re: ESPN College Gameday

While this would be incredibly awesome I just do not see it happening.. A top 5 match up with Duke/UVA just seems like to much to overcome.

I agree and I honestly wouldn't blame ESPN one bit
