OT: ESPN's College GameDay Introduction
For the past several seasons, the introduction to ESPN's College GameDay has included at least one highlight from a Michigan game held the year before. Does anyone think the trend will continue this season? If so, what do you think Michigan's highlight will be?

John Thompson's interception return for a TD against Wisconsin

Is that awful Big N' Rich song still going to be used in the Gameday intro? If so, I don't mind if Michigan is no longer included in the opening. That song sucks.

CAUSE WE'RE COMIN'...TO YOUR CITAAAAYYYYYYYY

NOOOOOOOOOO!

If they use the same song, I would assume we would have to be included in the intro. There is a line that is something like "them bulldogs barkin at those wolverines" or something. All I know is that we are included in the song, so I would assume we are still in it.

"We're coming to your city
Well we blew through Oklahoma, Alabama and through Georgia
Tryin' to get on down to Florida for the game
Then we loaded up our tailgate joined a convoy on the freeway
on our way to see them Buckeyes and Notre Dame
Victory for USC, Bulldogs barking at the Wolverines
Hook 'Em Horns and gimme that Rocky Top Tennessee"
(courtesy of Yahoo! Answers)
Reading that just makes me realize what an awful fucking song that is.

I realize that it isn't the best song, but I tend to not care when I see it because I enjoy watching College Gameday on Saturdays. Either way, I was correct.

punching a Domer.

Maybe Brandon Graham pwning Wisconsin?
August 11th, 2009 at 2:23 PM ^
fake punts.

Is Gameday still relatively popular?
When I was in college (late 90's), I loved the show - it was fairly informative and would get me hyped for a day of football watching. Now I never watch it and would rather watch Thomas and Friends with my kids on a Saturday morning.
Also, the "Coming to your Citaaaay" song is even worse than the Faith Hill song on Sunday Night Football.

It's got to be more popular now than it was ten years ago - although that certainly doesn't mean it's better product. The lion's share of my Saturday morning viewing now goes to the EPL, but I think Gameday is still relevant.

Is gameday popular? Jesus tap-dancing Christ!
I only hope that Thomas and Friends is a pregame show hosted by Anthony Thomas and Dhani Jones
Your children are being raised by a father who has lost touch.
For their sake, please plant them in front of Desmond and Fowler. They can ignore Herby.
I hope Coach Corso is recovering well enough to announce this year.

Just as long as it isn't the lowlight of the Toledo 100 yd pick six against us.

Could be back in '07 when The Horror was replayed... OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER.
August 11th, 2009 at 2:56 PM ^
I still watch College Gameday every Staurday but I always skip the opening song because its absolutely terrible.
August 11th, 2009 at 3:12 PM ^
not one country music or big n' rich fan in here....tough crowd ;-p
August 11th, 2009 at 3:26 PM ^
You can be a country music fan and loathe Big 'N Rich.
Also, you can enjoy sex, but loathe scheisse porn.
In each case, the former is as healthy and enjoyable as the latter is shameful and perverse.
August 11th, 2009 at 4:15 PM ^
Love college gameday, but rarely watch it because I am at the game. Also I like the Big N Rich song however it should have only been used for one year, Not 3 or 4
August 11th, 2009 at 4:50 PM ^
I live on the west coast and would have to get up by 7 am to watch. So I have not watched it in years. I assume they still have a pagan alter set up to sacrifice virgin marching band members to the coaches and players of the SEC and USC. If so I didn't miss anything.
August 11th, 2009 at 5:25 PM ^
ESPN never misses an opportunity to take a shot.
August 11th, 2009 at 6:29 PM ^
Not necessarily the guy himself, but they changed the song a little bit each week based on who was playing. If I recall correctly, Michigan/Notre Dame was either a GameDay game that year or was heavily featured in the song that week.

Here's a link that still has some of the songs.
