Air Force has HOSTED 2, one against Army and the other against Notre Dame. That makes 4 appearances for MWC teams.

USF played Army and Pittsburgh played Virginia Tech. those are the only two appearnces for current Big East members.

The USF game is noted for its numerous lightning delays.

It is actually illegal to have "indoor" furniture on your porches during game day. Morgantown police started that about 2 years ago to try and prevent the amount of fires. They give you a ticket the day before which is more just a notification and then will actually remove it on game day.

And both of those shows at U of Or. last season involved teams that were ranked in the top ten at the time...

If you look back over the list from the link I provided above, you'll see the same trend since 1993...

Anytime a PAC team has hosted CGD on campus the game has involved teams ranked in the top ten...

The only time it appears that trend doesn't apply was in 1998 with #12 Oregon visiting #2 UCLA...

While I do agree to an extent that it is an early start time out West, watching those two shows last season outside Autzen proved to me that college kids will get up and fill the background no matter what time the show starts locally...

I believe it's still a matter of not as many contests involving top ten teams are happening west of the Rockies as often as they are happening east of them...

More teams equals more opportunity to be featured...

Kinda just reaches out and grabs you, doesn't it? I liked the bright red color and all. Used to have a couple of bright red Firebirds also. Man, did those cars ever get me into trouble. It's probably just the red that you dig. It's just a little too cardinal though.....

Mayor:

Yes, I've heard that everyone is pretty nutty up there on the healthy stuff. Bike paths everywhere. Everybody eats trail mix on Thanksgiving. I've even heard the rumor that women going topless in Oregon is perfectly acceptable. Any truth to that rumor? That's what my wife claims anyway. She's been after me to move to Oregon for around five years now. I figure it's just a ploy. If it's true though - I'll pack up the house and be there by tomorrow.

My business has been going nuts and I just couldn't deal with the Disqus site last year.

I was just in Las Vegas, spent 4 nights at The Wynn. For my money Caesars still has the best Sports Book seating. Meant to call you but you know how it is...

The Ducks are a great draw in a town of 120,000. There's no distractions like there are in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle or Phoenix (the Pac-10 urban areas). You're kids will be fine. Especially if they like to run, the Old Track Capital of the World...most people stay pretty healthy up there...

I miss T Mac and Irish JT!

Gatorhippy,

Sorry to disagree with your disagreement . The record ESPN Gameday show goes back to 1993. USC had some very lean years in the 90's. It's all about ratings baby. East Coasters get the show at 10AM, the Midwest gets it at 9AM. There's very little draw on the West Coast.

I drag my ass up every Saturday to watch the show. They were in Eugene twice last year by the way...

I don't know that WVU has EVER been involved in a game home or away, in which the ESPN CGD crew was on the scene.

Re: Top 10 ESPN GameDay appearances ranked by team

gatorhippy — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:00:37 -0000

Me too...

I was really surprised...

Re: Top 10 ESPN GameDay appearances ranked by team

Tom_Blogical — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 21:49:11 -0000

That's amazing. I'd have thought they'd have at least one.

Ridiculous! (Yeah, I'm covering for posting twice.)

Speaking of CGD appearances...

I was approached by some people I know today about a few extra tickets that are available for the UF/UCG matchup this weekend...

E-mail me at gatorhippy@fanblogs.com if you're interested and I'll lay down the details...

This includes away games. Has WV never been the away team even?

Didn't Game Day Live cover the Holy War in Salt Lake City in 2004?

Does the MWC have one up on the Big East?

LOL...

When my grandfather drank...

He used to sing that song but would edit the words...

"Georgia...Geor-or-orgia...You can just kiss my a$$"

Could be true...

I heard old couches are hard to come by in a 50 mile radius of M-Town beginning in August...

Odd--I thought we tied tOSU for #1 in our championship season--when LSU came to town.

Have we really had 5 CGD's since?.

GO GATORS!!

So long as no one says "Georgia's on my mind", I'll be OK.
