They always do :p
I'm wondering how they're going to sneak DP show-related signs behind the stage. Last week there was a "Chris in Syracuse" and "Mothership" signage. I'm guessing they try "I love my ducks" and "Tilly in Bloomington"

From experience of being at College Gameday for the Nebraska/Wisconsin game, this would be sooooo awesome. The show actually starts at 6 there, for the ESPNU first hour. After drinking all night on a Friday night, heading to Gameday to get in line and wait at 2 a.m. not sleeping a wink, standing and waiting for Gameday from 6-11am, and then going back and drinking again to tailgate, that becomes a looooooong *** day.:p

When in Madison I asked them what their story was. It's different people each week, but they're all WSU alumni that want to keep the tradition going. they're at like 130 Gamedays or something like that. Pretty cool to represent all across the country.:p (Sorry if you guys already know the story:p)

Well, Iowa's game at home, under the lights Saturday night against Northwestern is a MUST WIN.

Wait, wasn't it in Minny last year? I remember touching Floyd while we carried around the field.

With the Big Ten becoming the B1G the new two year schedules started this year, with Iowa traveling to Minnesota again.

I'm planning on going, but not trying to spend $70 on tickets, so waiting and hoping they go down.

Idaho needs an OC. If he still has a pulse, he'd be better than Axeman. Mike- just head north, when you start seeing peas and lentels in rolling fields, stop, and look for the really large beer can lying on it's side. Vandals can really use you.

Stewart Mandel on the end of the Big East's AQ bid.

Even if whatever conglomeration they come up with still stands mathematically ahead of the Mountain West and Conference USA come 2014, the bowls and the Big East's fellow conferences have had enough. West Virginia is the league's lone remaining school the bowls can count on to travel and draw eyeballs. Just because you give Temple or UCF a Big East label doesn't mean fans are going to carve out four hours on Jan. 2 to watch them. The fact an unranked 8-4 UConn team went to a BCS bowl last season (where it bought 4,500 tickets) while 11-1 Michigan State and Boise State did not was galling enough.

"You're telling me you're going to put 9-3 East Carolina in the Fiesta Bowl?" said one college football administrator. "Are you kidding me?"

#OccupyGameDay is getting serious.

EUGENE, Ore. -- Security at ESPN's College GameDay in Eugene on Saturday will be on the lookout for more than the usual safety threats and foul language on signs. Now, they have references to radio host Dan Patrick's broadcast to watch out for.

Last Saturday when GameDay was in Dallas, Texas for the Red River Rivalry between Oklahoma and Texas one sign in particular snuck through the crowd without oversight. The sign read: "Chris in Syracuse."

For those unfamiliar with Mr. Patrick and the meaning of the term, the sign seems relatively harmless. For regular listeners of the show -- and ESPN -- the sign goes against what Patrick claims has been previously allowed in the crowd. On his show Patrick said that fans at the Oklahoma vs. Texas games were being turned away if they had signs or cutouts with obvious references to him or his show.

Patrick was an anchor at ESPN from 1989 to 2006 and his show was part of the ESPN family until 2007. He helped coin the nickname for ESPN's flagship program SportsCenter with fellow anchor Keith Olbermann, calling it "The Big Show". Patrick has stated several times that ESPN often does not allow current employees to appear as guests on his current radio show.

So what does "Chris in Syracuse" mean? The sign references a listener of Patrick's show who calls in to offer his opinion on a daily basis. The caller -- Chris, from Syracuse, New York -- is part of the Dan Patrick Show canon of running gags and bits.

The best idea I've seen is a portable 'Wall of Morale' but it might be a little difficult to pull off...

So BCS bids will now be decided solely by TV ratings. The BCS championship game will be Notre Dame vs the cast of Jersey Shore.

The early line is a push.

Not enough players.

The cast of American Idol vs the CBS Monday lineup. I call dibs on Grace Parks.
