College GameDay changes.

Re: College GameDay changes... Andrews is in, Fowler is out.

Three hours of pre-game puke.
I don't get the fasciniation with pre-game shows like this ...a bunch of pompous asses filling the screen wth hot air.

I don't get it either. But this ESPN college game day show consistently gets a lot of love by a lot of people here.

Not enough to make me tune in though. My saturday mornings are too valuable.

To me, it's not a "must-see" every week. Will I sit down and watch 10-20 minutes everyonce in a while? Absolutely.

I do like the final 15-20 minutes where they rapid fire the big games and Corso dons the headgear.

Can't stand Herbstreit; can't stand Fowler; especially can't stand Corso.

Looks like Gameday is still must-not-see TV at my house.

It's the best pre-game show on the air. The pre-taped bits are usually better than "former player sitting in a chair across from current player" that you see on NFL shows.
I don't have a problem with hosts honking their alma maters, regardless of how well or poorly they are doing. I don't think you see it on the pro level because former pros really don't feel that connection to their old teams.

They hate coming to the West Coast because of the early start time, especially later in the year (unless it's LA or Arizona). Now they have even less reason to, with a 6 a.m. start.

Erin Andrews might be a nice person, but she is flat-out horrible. An hour of her nasaly voice will be unbearable.

And I don't understand the hostility toward Fowler. He makes the show, and was also very solid on Thursday night.

I don't see the show all that often since I'm covering a game every Saturday, but I usually enjoy it until Desmond Howard starts talking.

Now I can enjoy it until Erin Andrews starts talking. Also, I saw her on TV briefly yesterday at the Team USA thing on ESPN and she needs to eat a few more hamburgers.

I don't know about that...They came to Provo and Tucson last year, and they've made several trips to Eugene over the past few years. They might hate it, but they certainly do it.

More Erin is always good. Don't care about any of other clowns on the show. Rarely watch it anyway because I'd rather watch a real game.
And, yes, just saw her on the home run derby pregame and she does look a bit thin.

Thank goodness - it appears that nothing has changed with core of show.

Call me when they bring back College Football Quagmires.

Not to mention USC's demise.

Re: College GameDay changes... Andrews is in, Fowler is out.

Perfect! The demise of the only watchable show on the WWL comes at the same time of the final demise of my Vols' football fortunes -- so I won't miss a thing when I find something better to do with my time every Saturday morning!

I guess you're out of the area, otherwise you'd have plenty to look forward to. A ****ty Tennessee squad can take the place of Vanderbilt as the opponent du jour on the JP/Lincoln Financial/Raycom/SEC Network 11:30 a.m. game.

Re: College GameDay changes... Andrews is in, Fowler is out.

Provo's in the Mountain Time Zone; so is Arizona, when standard time resumes. They've been to Oregon several times over the past 10 years, early in the season.

All things considered, they're reluctant to come to the West Coast. Which is OK, I guess, because our region just isn't as passionate as the deep south about college football. And I understand they don't want to get up at 4 a.m. for a 6 a.m. show when they can stay in the southeast and start at 10 a.m. (or 9 a.m. now).

And if there are 13-14 CFGD's a year, rarely are more than one or two in the Pacific Time Zone.

Me, I love waking up at 7 on Saturday AM and watchig the show, and then having the games start at 8:30 a.m. or 9 a.m.

So no one's going to change the thread title?

Re: College GameDay changes... Andrews is in, Fowler is out.

Just don't change it to "Fowler is in; Andrews...."

Re: College GameDay changes... Andrews is in, Fowler is out.

Adding an extra hour to keep Andrews busy, eh?

I'm still tuning in at 10am Eastern to watch the show. One less hour of Desmond Howard and Big and Rich.

Re: College GameDay changes... Andrews is in, Fowler is out.

This is far and away the best thing ESPN does. Glad to see nothing will change much from the only hours I'd tune in anyway.

Thank you.

Very well-put.
