Cool intro by Reece Davis.

College game day needs a revamp, keep Des, and Herbie, get rid of the rest. Let Corso put on a mascot head, but actually talk about football and not continually try to laugh, as loud as you can at shit that’s not funny.
September 9th, 2023 at 9:26 AM ^
I feel bad for LC, they should have retired him years ago. He actually used to add value in his own quirky way, now it feels like charity having on the show.
September 9th, 2023 at 10:56 AM ^
GameDay is dead. Love live Fox Big Noon.
Two weeks this year so far and Game Day takes about a full hour before they do anything more they mention in passing that the B10 exists. They will preview OleMiss before Wisc @ Wazzu.
Fox at least spreads it around and talks about all the games in all conferences. ESPN is alienating every fan not in the SEC
September 9th, 2023 at 11:18 AM ^
That is why I added Big Noon Kickoff to this thread. ESPN is giving the Big Ten the silent treatment now.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:23 AM ^
This was inevitable with the Big Ten’s latest TV deal.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:40 AM ^
The weekly tug-at-your-heartstrings human interest pieces they run from 9-10 are irritating beyond belief to me at this point. Look, I'm not a heartless man. I have a boundless capacity for empathy! They're just soooo formulaic--the syrupy music, the Vaseline lens treatment. Every human story is flattened and reduced to fit the formula. Awful...
Then there's fucking McAfee. At one point in this broadcast he just bent over and showed his ass, which is the perfect metaphor for the negative energy he brings.
September 9th, 2023 at 9:24 AM ^
Nebraska v Colorado will give me something to watch before Michigan starts. Nice.
September 9th, 2023 at 9:28 AM ^
This is an interesting game......
was last week just a flash in the pan for CU?
was last week just shit luck for NE?
will we know anything more about either one of these teams after today?
If CU wins, maybe NE is just still a shitshow.
If NE wins, maybe last week was just a anomaly for CU.
If its a nailbiter, maybe they're both good, or bad....
LOL
September 9th, 2023 at 9:35 AM ^
From what I saw of Colorado and Nebraska last week, the fact that this game has a 2.5 pt spread makes me think that Vegas really doesn't think much of TCU. Nebraska and Minnesota both looked putrid. Nebraska lost that game. Colorado is at home after beating a top 25 team on the road -- yet they're only favored by 2.5?
September 9th, 2023 at 10:47 AM ^
I have a small 15 wager on CU -3. I just don’t think Nebraska has the fire power.
September 9th, 2023 at 9:58 AM ^
Nebraska has had shit luck since they canned Pelini for all those 4 loss seasons. Also, they play bad football. The team with the highest winning pct. for the first 30 years of my life is just a shadow of its former self. Hoping this happens to Alabama after Saban retires.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:03 AM ^
They are still paying for firing Frank Solich, I just googled that he went 58-19 there but he wasn't Tom Osbourne, they let him go.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:14 AM ^
I wouldn't call it shit luck, they chose this. Just like the Lions did when they fired Jim Caldwell for going 9-7 and saying it wasn't good enough.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:14 AM ^
The Curse of Bo Pelini's Cat.
September 9th, 2023 at 3:01 PM ^
29-7 CU with 10:45 to go. Here's my take. They're both mediocre teams. Sims is a terrible QB...without all of his unforced errors this is probably at 7-3 game.
Clearly NE has no depth chart (at least in Rhule's opinion) or they'd have benched butter fingers.
September 9th, 2023 at 12:12 PM ^
So according to Gus Johnson, Nebraska Colorado is a rivalry as big as Michigan OhioSt. What a dweeb.
September 9th, 2023 at 10:15 AM ^
Big Noon Kickoff is the more like the Coach Prime Coach's Show today.
September 9th, 2023 at 10:20 AM ^
Glad that both pregame shows now suck, too bad it's an international break for the Premier League.
September 9th, 2023 at 12:01 PM ^
I turned on ESPN and saw Pat McAfee. Nope. Changed to Fox and saw Leinart and Urban. Nope. In desperation, I changed the channel to BTN’s tailgate show. They were interviewing Izzo at MSU. Oh, hell no. I turned off the TV and picked up a book.
September 9th, 2023 at 12:57 PM ^
Fox Sports 2 has been showing Euro qualifiers. Ukraine is hosting England in Poland. At halftime, it's 1-1. Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko scored to give Ukraine the lead. Man City's Kyle Walker evened the score in the 41st minute.
September 9th, 2023 at 10:19 AM ^
I chuckled at the stance they chose for the Namath graphic on Gameday.
He has cometh. Repeatedly. Throughout the evening.
September 9th, 2023 at 10:58 AM ^
Dan and Shay vs. Big and Rich: That's no choice at all.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:07 AM ^
Big & Rich, all day, every day.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:16 AM ^
Hmmm...Big and Rich, all day, every day. That would be like waterboarding for me. I'd admit to blowing up the World Trade Center just to make it stop.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:26 AM ^
I’m no fan of Big & Rich, but Dan & Shay? Good Lord. Words don’t exist to adequately explain the depths of their … awfulness.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:01 AM ^
I'm getting a little bored with the Coach Prime hype. Can we talk about something else for a few minutes?
September 9th, 2023 at 11:07 AM ^
Here's a Coach Prime fUn FaCt: His nickname was originally Primetime. So Prime is a nickname...of his nickname. And that makes it three nicknames in total: Neon Deon (the original nickname he came to FSU with), Primetime, and Prime. Out in the real world, I have zero nicknames. I feel deprived...
September 9th, 2023 at 11:34 AM ^
Fascinating.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:42 AM ^
I know, right???
September 9th, 2023 at 11:56 AM ^
Have you seen the number of posts about him on a Michigan blog? Seems unlikely, also you just talked about him.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:11 AM ^
How would feel as a Nebraska fan, last season ends, you look ahead, new coach, hope! Then you look at the schedule and start counting games that you think you should win! Colorado was one of those games, the Deon comes in and tears that team down and brings in some talent. Now you’re Nebraska and you’re looking at the schedule and could very easily be 0-2 before conference play….. awe fuck them it’s Nebraska. Although I hate them a little less now that Frosty is gone!
September 9th, 2023 at 11:43 AM ^
I'd say it's the Curse of Bo Pelini's Cat.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:13 AM ^
Why would CU agree to play a home game at 10 AM ??? Has that ever happened before (for a P5/P4 school)?
It cant be to have a larger number of TV viewers—I would have to think the later time slot is better for that.
Dooes the school get paid more? Doubt it? The TV contract is a fixed annual payment, right, a school doesnt get more or less money based on the time slots their games are on.
Its not like the desert where daytime temperature will drive a game into the evening… they are in the mountains and the game will end at 1-2 pm, hottest time of the day
So why would they do this? Or the network just said, “you are playing at 10 am, see you there,” and the school has no choice?
What’s next, conference games requiring 3,000 mile flights?
September 9th, 2023 at 11:20 AM ^
They are just happy to be on national TV.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:21 AM ^
Deion would say it’s because they’re super human and such amazing people (the best people) that it doesn’t matter. We don’t need sleep - we use that time to watch film on how awesome we are! That’s mainly why most people want him to fail. Such ego. We’ll see.
September 9th, 2023 at 12:07 PM ^
I doubt they were given a choice. Big TV is in charge here.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:17 AM ^
NOOOO! That NEVER HAPPENED! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE!
Media bullshit right here...
September 9th, 2023 at 11:20 AM ^
The new gambling dude on Game Day has a really confusing shtick--the mini-fridge and the stickers on the mini-fridge. Why?
September 9th, 2023 at 11:23 AM ^
Yeah, WTF is there an orange fridge on my TV? FOH
September 9th, 2023 at 11:44 AM ^
That Joe Namath CGD cameo was, well….
September 9th, 2023 at 11:51 AM ^
He looks...like your username.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:50 AM ^
Tulane is ranked: Truly, we live in an age of wonders.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:52 AM ^
I do think people are overrating UNC a bit - they were better against USC defensively but also...maybe South Carolina is sorta ass and just got hot for 2 weeks last year and beat up on UT and a Clemson team now on a 3-game losing streak.
Glad for the Cade love but it's an indictment of former UM coach* Matt Campbell that ISU is being picked against this heavily largely because their offense looks worse than Iowa's.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:53 AM ^
I had to look it up but Joe Namath (80) is 8 years younger that Lee Corso (88). So yeah, stuff could be way worse for him.
September 9th, 2023 at 11:55 AM ^
Lee is the Dick Clark of college gameday
September 9th, 2023 at 11:55 AM ^
So does Jess Sims actually know anything about college football? Or is she just there because she’s a name?
September 9th, 2023 at 12:04 PM ^
She's a name for the younger Peloton generation... Just another ploy to get new viewers, but she drives the diehard sickos away.
September 9th, 2023 at 12:05 PM ^
Considering that no one without a Pelaton had heard of her before this, I'm thinking it's all about how she looks in that sleeveless blue skirt suit. Erin Andrews and Maria Taylor actually knew a lot about cfb--Jess Sims doesn't really talk about games or players at all.
September 9th, 2023 at 12:38 PM ^
That’s the way it is these days. Qualifications don’t matter.
