College Gameday coming to Tuscaloosa this weekend for Vandy

[RollTide_HTTR]

We already have CNS--they're just trying to even it up BUT , Theo Von, WHO DAT!

By that standard they should do the same to Michigan and Ohio State with Desmond and Kirk Herbstreit.

It's hardly close to the end of the world but I find it annoying.

1) I know I get it. But then again Theo Von is hardly apoltical.

I know but you know why that wasn’t an issue and Collins would

I’d love for Ingram to be a guest picker but it’s probably not possible with him working for Fox Sports.

I’m not sure a former player has come back and attended games as much Mark.

He LOVES Bama.

It would be fun seeing him interact with CNS and the rest of the panel.

You can look him up on YouTube. He is an unfunny comedian hack and he recently made the news by joking about killing himself when he bombed on stage.

He is horrible and is exactly what I think of if you combine Larry the cable guy, Jake Paul, and a Georgia fan together

that is a perfect description of him

In other words, I'm not missing anything.

They wanted a Vandy guy, plain and simple. They don't do that other places.

Don't go putting Larry into that pile of dung now.

According to Rece Davis it had a lot to do with his online following. Apparently he has "millions" of followers and RD said those are millions of eyes that would be watching the show. I'm not sure I completely believe that rationale because normally, when they do Gameday at a campus, the guest picker is someone rooting FOR the home team, not the dang visitors.

Agreed!

I find it hard to believe they couldn't have found anyone. I know why they won't do Kaitlan Collins even though I think she would be perfect. But still, Juilo just retired, Josh Jacobs is on a bye, and then there are a ton of other options for former players (McCarron, Mount cody, etc). I think Justin Thomas has done it before but he's a good pick, could go with an NBA player (Branond Miller, Herb Jones, etc), Nate Oats, and while idc about James Spann at least he would be connected to Alabama.

I could go on and on. I have a hard time believing everyone said no. There are some other political people that could work and a few celebrities that at least have some connection (Channing Tatum, Condoleezza Rice).

Anyway, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things but it is a little annoying the guest picker is going to pick Vandy.

You are right. It doesn't really matter a bit. But ESPN doesn't do this crap to other host schools. It is always a home team homer, or at least someone remotely connected to the program. If I remember the 6-3 game of the century in Tuscaloosa had a LSU homer picking. Whatever. I shouldn't care because Gameday isn't something I even watch every week. Just feel like it's a slap in the face to my University.

I’m not sure who Theo Von is, honestly.

I had to ask at the office . . .

And I still don't know.
