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

Nope. Pretty sure aside from a handful of ESPN executives we are pretty much in agreement here.

The NYC college bar segment sounds interesting. Would probably be just as interesting if they were live from Iowa City, Stillwater, Starkville, or Berkley though

The Commercialization of College Football...all about the benjamins, not about "college" or "football" anymore. The pursuit of $$$$ just like the business world now.

Hope it self corrects at some point...but I'll probably die first.

sec network killed the nyc college bar for florida......when the games were during the day bar owners were happy to pack the bars on saturday for some extra cash. shift the majority of games to evening and they were losing money over a regualr saturday night crowd. team wasnt playing as well people wouldnt show up as mush and any bar regulars usually avoided their hangout if they werent a team fan when the games were on.
