Based on recent Gameday history, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to go with somebody completely unrelated to either team? Give me Fred Armisen for no reason
Plus we’re the home team, so fuck that
December 30th, 2021 at 10:12 PM ^
Yes but it’s ESPN- main sponsor of the sec.
December 31st, 2021 at 3:45 AM ^
The E in ESPN stands for Entertainment and it comes before Sports.
What a circus this will be.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:52 PM ^
better yet, michigan alum, wrestler and college friend scotty rechsteiner (aka: scott steiner) had a different use for goldberg...
December 30th, 2021 at 11:38 PM ^
I found myself watching the reactions of the referee. He looks scared and completely out of control of the backward suplex, or whatever the hell that move is.
EDIT: And there is so much flash photography happening at these events.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:14 PM ^
How and who does this make cocky? Seems like a reasonable pick. No real reason to have another Michigan man there with Des. Anyone will be better than the guy they had at the UM/anOSU game.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:20 PM ^
Pollard is on game day and went to Georgia as well - that’s the balance w des. Pollard and Goldberg will be high-fiving on sec channel called ESPN.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:36 PM ^
Who the fuck is pollard?
December 31st, 2021 at 12:35 AM ^
Typo. Pollack
December 30th, 2021 at 11:15 PM ^
Are we sure Pollack hasn’t been fired? Hasn’t been on since he lost his shit yesterday after Booger got under his skin.
December 31st, 2021 at 1:10 AM ^
Please expound, I missed this…. Details?
December 31st, 2021 at 9:36 AM ^
Was that after Booger suggested Maryland could make it to the CFP? And Pollack responded "that's a little aggressive" ha
December 31st, 2021 at 1:22 PM ^
Yes, when they started talking about the Orange Bowl. Negandi and Booger were saying Michigan is not going to abandon the run like Pollack suggested they should. Pollack kept interrupting them saying Michigan is going to get crushed if they try and threw in a couple “you’re not listening to me!” I haven’t seen him on since.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:14 PM ^
SECSPN.
December 31st, 2021 at 12:16 AM ^
I have to say I never realized this until this year. ESPN is really SECSPN. You can't come into a CFP without SEC taint.
Screw the SEC!
Here's to a Michigan Cincinnati final.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:15 PM ^
ESPN sold out, they are what a joke!
December 30th, 2021 at 10:17 PM ^
Just setting up a massive pop for these two
December 30th, 2021 at 10:38 PM ^
I need the Big Poppa Pump version of Scott Steiner. Chainmail looks great with the varsity jacket.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:18 PM ^
Rick and Scott Steiner are going to come in and hit him with a chair right as he’s making his pick.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:20 PM ^
I have nothing wrong with this in the abstract (seems like a solid choice for a guest picker), but why the hell does UGA get someone that makes sense while we get randos with no connection whatsoever to Michigan?
December 30th, 2021 at 11:02 PM ^
This. Why the fuck do we get shit like the Ol Ball Coach and The Smokechainers in Ann Arbor but they get a Georgia alum for a neutral site game? ESPN is trash.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:28 PM ^
So basically Jeets said no.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:31 PM ^
Why? Sebastian manisculco wasn't available??
December 30th, 2021 at 10:35 PM ^
I suplex him. Put him in camel clutch. Break his back. Fuck his ass. Make him humble.
UM 27 UGA 16
December 30th, 2021 at 10:39 PM ^
No thank you
December 30th, 2021 at 11:05 PM ^
Somebody upvoted this?
December 30th, 2021 at 10:41 PM ^
I would very much prefer Rube Goldberg being the guest picker; with the pick being generated by a wacky machine.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:53 PM ^
That would be an interesting choice indeed, but far more fascinating because it means that Goldberg would have invented a mechanism which has allowed him to overcome having died fifty years ago. The ultimate Rube Goldberg device indeed.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:47 PM ^
I liked him in the longest yard.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:51 PM ^
He had quite a large cup
December 30th, 2021 at 10:51 PM ^
Please God make ESPN cover a CFP Championship from a team from Ohio who is not their love child and Michigan. SEC be damned
December 30th, 2021 at 10:51 PM ^
This is bullshit with us being the home team.
December 30th, 2021 at 11:06 PM ^
I like how every other team that hosts gameday gets to have a celebrity guest picker that has an association with the home team, while the only gameday that Michigan hosts, they get Sebastian Manisculo, who has no association with Michigan. And of course, even though Michigan is #2, they have a Georgia alum as the gameday picker. ESPN blows.
December 30th, 2021 at 11:06 PM ^
Fuck that. Get the Steiner Brothers to crash it.
December 30th, 2021 at 11:33 PM ^
GOLDBERG!! GOLDBERG!!
December 30th, 2021 at 11:58 PM ^
Why does this bother so many people?
December 31st, 2021 at 6:22 AM ^
right? i opened the thread, expecting to join the LOLs, but this is, like, not that? <shrug>
December 31st, 2021 at 12:15 AM ^
I think people underestimate the number of prior commitments Michigan alumnae tend to have.
Bill Goldberg probably has nothing better to do tomorrow morning.
December 31st, 2021 at 12:32 AM ^
I wonder if they're going pound on his trailer door and have a bunch of security guards walk him to the GameDay stage.
December 31st, 2021 at 1:28 AM ^
I mostly just care that they get relevant guest versus obscure people like we had for the game against the team from Ohio.
This one particularly is good with me. Have been a big Goldberg fan for a long time. Not really into wrestling anymore, but I was in my younger days and have Goldberg’s tribal tattoo on my back. He lives about 45 minutes from me and his son plays baseball for the same organization as my son. He is actually a good dude, and into fast cars which I like as well. Obviously the Georgia connection this week isn’t ideal but ESPN could have done much worse in their choice. They can have 5 Georgia alumni on gameday for all I care, it isn’t going to change the beat down we are going to put on them and put Bama on notice!
Go Blue!
December 31st, 2021 at 9:23 AM ^
I'm not watching Game Day so as long as Corso puts on his Uga X head I don't care who the guest picker is.
December 31st, 2021 at 11:05 AM ^
Why would anyone watch gameday on espn/sec?
