Gameday going to Columbus

Is this a good thing?

ESPN's popular College GameDay Built by the Home Depot program, with host Chris Fowler and analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard, will originate from the Penn State-Ohio State clash on Saturday, Nov. 13 in Columbus, Ohio.

So great. Penn State already had Gameday come to one of its games this season, down in Tuscaloosa. The Nittany Lions were handed a pretty convincing loss at the hands of Alabama and Nick Saban. Penn State could lose this weekend by the same score, in the same fashion. But it will be much, much worse. Why? There's no love lost between the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions, unlike the cavity-forming sweetness of the Alabama fans.

We're closing up shop on Week 2, with some not so kind words for ESPN College Gameday.

ESPN GameDay coming back to Auburn - Opelika-Auburn News :: So on Sunday this was announced. It wouldn't seem like any big deal, until you realize what kind of precedent ESPN is setting so far in 2010. You'll see what I mean...

GameDay belongs in Tucson - Arizona Daily Wildcat :: You know how many ranked-vs-ranked games there will be this weekend in college football? Only one: No. 24 Arizona vs No. 9 Iowa. Mind you, Arizona hasn't gotten much press, but has been very impressive so far this season, while Iowa is looking much better than most has predicted (and most had predicted an already impressive team). But where does ESPN go this weekend? Another SEC school. Until this season, the Mouse Ears did an alright job of covering its obvious conflict of interest with the SEC and national attention, but this is just getting ridiculous.
