ESPN College Gameday Sign Regulations

Well, what do you plan on writing on it?
September 6th, 2011 at 12:21 AM ^
Not totally sure yet, nothing vulgar though.

"IM a Buckeye fan"....then right below ...."who wants a signed shirt"

For instance, this ad for Buona subs is on a giant billboard along the highway in Chicago near O'Hare:

Tom Vanhaaren 2012 sign perhaps?

Not sure if anyone on here knows the exact regulations, but the 3 times I've been to Gameday there hasn't been any specific limitations given. Appeared mostly common courtesy and common sense dictates. Basically all signs follow the rules that they should be able to be held by one person, should have content that can be displayed on television without getting the FCC involved, and should be held up for a few minutes at a time, not constantly, so other signs can be seen.
Mean spirited is acceptable, but make sure it is truly funny. When I was at Kansas/Missouri back in '07 saw one of a very well done "Jabba-ization" of Mark Mangino, but a lot of mean ones making fun of his weight without any redeeming wit/talent.

In the last days of Lloyd, and everyone was slathering over Les Miles coming to AA, one of my favorite signs appeared on GameDay:
I want a new car with less miles.

Anybody want to jump in with me on this and bring a picture of Bruce Feldmans face? I think I may have to bring out a Dan Patrick or Keith Olbermann headshot...espn loves it when you promote their former employees...
Other options include: Peter Gammons, Charlie Steiner, U of M alum Rich Eisen, the very recently departed Brian Kenney, Harold Reynolds, Steve Phillips, B10 Network anchor (and dream-job winner) Mike Hall...many, many others to consider.

You do a cutout of Craig James holding a bloody knife. I'll do the cutout of the dead hooker.
September 6th, 2011 at 1:21 AM ^
4 more friends.
September 6th, 2011 at 8:22 AM ^
I've got the "@ SMU" part covered.
September 6th, 2011 at 9:52 AM ^
And just stand in the middle, but only put it up periodically.
September 6th, 2011 at 9:20 AM ^
Go with Desmond, Eisen or Jacobson
September 6th, 2011 at 1:00 AM ^
My favorite sign idea for ESPN, "Return TomVH and nobody gets hurt" or something along those lines.
September 6th, 2011 at 1:01 AM ^
I can't wait for my newly printed poster to come in the mail
September 6th, 2011 at 2:17 AM ^

No trolling intended. Apologies to all who were offended. Guess I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue.

Dear Lou Holtz,
What did you say? No seriously, I didn't understand a word you said.
(yes I know he's not part of the game day crew)
September 6th, 2011 at 7:10 AM ^
"Michael Floyd - Call The Designate For Travel Within Metro Detroit"
September 6th, 2011 at 8:50 AM ^
I think someone in my group had a sign on a hockey stick a few years back and was made to remove the hockey stick. It seemed like the regulation was you can't have anything holding your sign up. Hope I'm remembering right.
September 6th, 2011 at 9:34 AM ^
I don't know if that guy can get out a sentence during the game that doesn't include 3 or 4 F-bombs.
The ND "holier-than-thou" crowd has to love this guy being the face of their university on Saturdays.
September 6th, 2011 at 10:01 AM ^
September 6th, 2011 at 2:45 PM ^
Very nice..you guys see what he did there??

Your Crist is Inferior to My Christ.
The suspense of whether or not the guards will let a sign pass isn't really worth the trouble, though. I'd rather just hang out there and enjoy the show.
September 6th, 2011 at 10:35 AM ^
I want to see at least one Lloyd Brady sign or I will be disappointed
September 6th, 2011 at 10:48 AM ^
Blown up picture of Purple Kelly screaming at a sleeping baby.
September 6th, 2011 at 12:59 PM ^
September 6th, 2011 at 10:56 AM ^
Hey Brian Kelly!
Hang on!
Which is why I don't make signs.
September 6th, 2011 at 11:10 AM ^
hahahah i lost it on the scissor lift.... I'm going to hell
September 6th, 2011 at 12:28 PM ^
or Notre Dame returning to Glory .500
September 6th, 2011 at 12:29 PM ^
that hasn't been raised is the idea of coming up with one collective idea and having 50 people bring that idea/sign to the game. i.e. something like Brian Kelly's head on a stick with his eyes bulging out and a dunce cap, etc... but have 50 of them
September 6th, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
Mattison 4:13 - I can intercept all things through Crist who strengthens me.

"Dr. Lou's credentials are dubious at best!"
September 6th, 2011 at 1:57 PM ^
What time is eveyrbody planning on getting there in order to watch the Gameday taping? I know it broadcasts at 9 on ESPNU so a few hours early probably? Thoughts?
September 6th, 2011 at 2:23 PM ^
Notre Dame Football - Play Like Champion Tomorrow
September 9th, 2011 at 1:19 PM ^
This is possibly going to be my sign for tomorrow.

Seeing as you all had the crew last week, i was wondering if you think this sign will be ok to take in for gameday or will it be rejected. Thanks for you opinions.
PS - Hell of a win last week and great game to watch.
