ESPN College GameDay Headed to Provo

PROVO, Utah (Oct. 18, 2009) — ESPN announced today its popular College Football GameDay show will be broadcast live from BYU this coming Saturday, Oct. 24, 2009. Provo will play host to both the radio and television ESPN College GameDay broadcasts.

“It’s a tremendous opportunity for BYU to host ESPN College GameDay on our campus,” said BYU Director of Athletics Tom Holmoe. “The TCU game is sold out and the ESPN shows should add to the great college atmosphere we expect this Saturday.”

ESPN College GameDay Built by The Home Depot will begin broadcasting live on Saturday at 8 a.m. MT. College GameDay host Chris Fowler will be joined by ESPN analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard for the live television broadcast.

College GameDay on ESPN Radio will begin broadcasting from BYU at noon MT as Ryen Russillo, Trevor Matich and Brad Edwards cover the college football scene. The radio show will include interviews, analysis, previews and predictions. Matich, the starting center for the BYU National Championship football team, will have his underdog pick of the week. Russillo will document his trip to Provo as part of his weekly online feature “Russillo on the Road.”

Additional information, including broadcast locations, will be provided later this week.

BYU hosts TCU in a Mountain West Conference battle Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium. The Cougars are No. 16 in the first BCS standings released Sunday, while the Horned Frogs are ranked No. 8. The game will be broadcast live nationally on VERSUS, with kickoff scheduled for 5:30

The above is from a BYU press release. This is a great opportunity BYU, now don't embarrass yourself. (For instance, like the LA Dodgers did last night when they rolled over and died. Joe Torre, Dodgers manager, wisely said "it only counts as one loss".)

Game 4 of the NLCS is tonight with Philadelphia leading 2-1. Game 3 of the ALCS is tonight with New York leading 2-0 and going for the sweep.

I'll be back with a longer blog tomorrow, themusicaddict
