'College GameDay' put its thumb on the scale

The Lane Kiffin saga showed what happens when "GameDay's" big personalities attempt to sway the conversation.

That could have been 2 paragraphs. It said the same thing over and over. I agree with it though.

Is this the first year ever we didn't have a single game air on ESPN? How did that happen?

Edit - Come to think of it, I don't remember them airing any last year either. Did a new TV deal kick in last year?

Don't forget the cock.

You know @Thump mom too?

I think CBS does the best job. But I do love when we play on The Cock. My wife... Not so much. She hates when I say that.

Agreed! Danielson, Herbstreit, and Klatt are all insufferable. I don’t even know the NBC guys name, so that’s always a good sign.

I agree on the broadcast team, but something about the package with the graphics and the HD cameras/sound of the stadium - can't quite put my finger on it.

Yes. There is a non-zero chance I am his father.

I don't really pay attention to College Gameday anymore, but it doesn't make sense logically for a show that's supposed to highlight the best of the sport to not be at the conference championship game between undefeated #1 and #2, with the Heisman trophy at stake. Games prior to the playoff don't come any bigger than that. I get that they have a business interest in promoting the SEC, but this decision to me is certainly a violation of the spirit of what Gameday was supposed to be. Gameday should be at the scene of the biggest game, and they consciously chose not to be there this weekend. How many times did Gameday go to an Indiana game this season?

They went to Eugene to see Indiana/Oregon. They actually split fairly evenly between SEC and B1G.
