BTN introducing new College Gameday style show

"This is also a reason i wish the arkansas game wasn't cancelled. It would've created interest and convo about us from other regions."
Yes. Because no one is talking about Michigan football at all!
If done right...
But with BTN, how can you have a PEnis / PeniS / Penis / PeNis sign? I guess it will have to be Butt / ButT / Nice Butt
They fill 60 minutes on the post game show. They should be able to do the same for a pre-game show.
I can see the show filmed in the studio, but if they try to bring a live stage to stadium it will fail.
that I've never heard of from teams that are consistently at the bottom of the big ten on it.
Are they going to the best B1G game or the game they're broadcasting?
There's a big difference between Michigan and Florida in Dallas or OSU/Texas or MSU/Oregon versus a random Rutgers/Buffalo early season matchup.
This could be good (even though I'll still watch Gameday) or this could be stupid as hell.
And what do they do when ESPN goes to a B1G campus for say Michigan/MSU or Michigan/OSU?
So many questions...
My guess is that they'll set up their studio near a different part of the stadium. It's like the CFP where they had a location and ESPN had their own location.
And to answer his other question...
If the goal is to drive up TV viewership and not just to have a bunch of people stand around the studio to stare into the soul of Gerry DiNardo, they'd be smart to be at the big game of the day in the conference, regardless of which network airs the game. I'm pretty sure they'd get more eyeballs for the UM/OSU pre-game than they would for MSU/PSU.
1. Why run from 9:30-11:00AM? One of the things I like about Gameday is going directly from the pregame show to kickoff.
Unfortunately, I'd still watch Gameday unless their show is in Ann Arbor. I am not waking up in the morning to watch five minutes about the Illinois-Purdue tilt.
They are probably referring to 9:30am - 11:00am in the central time zone.
That's one of the things that used to trip me up on mgoblue.com. They were, maybe still are, famous for displaying with the local timezone of where a sporting event was to be held.
Their normal pregame show was dull and now it'll probably be slightly less dull except now it'll be in front of 50 bored fans live from West Lafayette.
It's just not the same when you have Glen Mason opening a show with "You are looking live at Mustard's Last Stand in Evanston, Illinois.....which is a bit of a shame as the Northwestern-Illinois game is actually down in Champaign."
However, I will give it a shot out of fairness.
...as long as they keep Gerry DiNardo and Howard Griffith and Glen Mason off the show, and replace them with Desmond Howard and Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso, and then air the show on ESPN so that people will actually watch it.
It's actually just "J" Leman. Seriously.

that does every highlight using the same Simpson's quote about outstanding achievement in the field of excellence?
Revsin is not terrible.
I like Pizzo better- less annoying
Dinardo is like a calmer smarter Corso

Will they do a B1G Treasure Hunter segment every show?
SBo: Belated sorry to hear about your dog. Lost one of mine earlier this year, Isabel (Izzie). She was 16, we rescued her when she was 6 so we got a good decade with her.
Just because this Gameday will be at B1G games and B1G network doesn't mean they have to talk about nothing but B1G, I'd think they may talk about other marquee matchups just without fellatiating the SEC.
