Should be no shortage of winos holding up signs saying Rotgut U. Maybe someone will come on the stage and try and engage Lee Corso in a game of 3 card Monte?

I was born there and I last visited about 5 years ago. Yeah I know it's cleaned up compared to what it used to be, but it's not perfect.

ESPN's "College GameDay" coming to Times Square in New York

ESPN's "College GameDay" will broadcast from Times Square on Sept. 23, the first time the popular pregame road show travels to New York City.

ESPN announced the Times Square site for "GameDay" on Thursday. The network says the show will highlight New York's college football history and "modern-day fandom." Also, 82-year-old Lee Corso will make his 299th head-gear pick during the broadcast.

It's the 81st location in 25 years for the show that visits mostly college campuses for the week's big game. That Saturday is light on big games: No. 6 Washington at Colorado; No. 1 Alabama at Vanderbilt; No. 4 Penn State at Iowa.

"Thousands of alumni gather in the city each fall Saturday to root on their school and we are bringing College GameDay to New York for them!" ESPN vice president of production Lee Fitting said in a statement. "We want every alumni base and college football fan near and far to join us in Times Square to provide the celebratory, festive atmosphere that is synonymous with the show."

The "GameDay" set will be located between 43rd and 44th streets. ESPN says the set will be constructed two days before and taken down immediately after the show.

GameDay fans or The Today Show fans .... you be the judge. Like there's any difference.

Guess I'm the only one that thinks College Gameday being in NYC is pretty lame.

Always enjoy Gameday, although I can't watch it from start to finish. But wants it starts, it makes me happy to know games are so soon to starting.

I hate they didn't go to the Georgia game, or Oklahoma State game, or even the Purdue game.

You aren't the only one. I think it belongs on a campus...just like football games.

I hate the neutral site shit. I like the college stadiums.

No. I have to admit they should be in Athens tomorrow.

No. I have to admit they should be in Athens tomorrow.

Stillwater would have made a lot of sense too. You could also make arguments for Berkeley, Boulder, Iowa City and Nashville.
