It's actually going to Fort Worth for WVU at TCU.
Baylor is the team in Waco and they are ass my dude.
October 1st, 2017 at 10:09 AM ^
Yeah, I was pretty surprised by the thread title. Going to Waco would be whacko.
October 1st, 2017 at 12:08 PM ^
They are ass. Winless ass. But confusing ass.
They could only score 10 points against the Roadrunners of UTSA but put up 41 points on Oklahoma, which is a lot better than what the Buckeyes could do offensively against the Sooners at the Horseshoe.
October 1st, 2017 at 9:50 AM ^
Isn’t Waco where Baylor is? Could you mean Ft.Worth?
October 1st, 2017 at 9:51 AM ^
Hahaha Ft. Worth is a top 25 game like 10 miles from Waco man. Meanwhile the team in Waco is 0-5.
October 1st, 2017 at 10:31 AM ^
Try an hour and a half away
October 1st, 2017 at 10:37 AM ^
Dude missed a 0 is all. Typo. 100 miles
October 1st, 2017 at 11:29 AM ^
you know, I actually was going to correct the original comment, but then said to myself, " it's early on a Sunday, he probably left off a 0. don't be that guy. "

it didn't end well last time, so fine by me
October 1st, 2017 at 9:54 AM ^
Care to update your title Sugar

I hate gameday now. Too many gimmicks and bs. Just give me an hour long show with Desmond and Kirk reminiscing about their days at Michigan and OSU and I’ll be happy.
October 1st, 2017 at 10:37 AM ^
Yeah, it's become unwatchable. I usually turn it on for ten or fifteen minutes just out of some sense of obligation. But it's too long and just isn't very interesting anymore. Plus Samantha Ponder is gone so the eye candy factor has suffered.
October 1st, 2017 at 11:15 AM ^
I definitely don't mind Maria
October 1st, 2017 at 12:20 PM ^
I just kissed a girl named Maria,
And suddenly I see,
She's not the bitch,
I thought she'd beeeeeeee!
October 1st, 2017 at 11:36 AM ^
gameday is on espn of course its unwatchable.
October 1st, 2017 at 10:26 AM ^
I mentioned this yesterday.
They're going to TCU vs. WVU in Ft. Worth and then Herbie will jump on a plane and join Fowler in Ann Arbor to call our game.
Anyone who thought they were coming to Ann Arbor needs to wake up and smell the burning sofa.
They would've gone to FSU/Miami over Michigan/MSU...especially with the recent Hurricane.
At least we'll get the national primetime crew calling our game and all the attention that comes with it. Hopefully the 'croots are watching!
October 1st, 2017 at 10:42 AM ^
I don't care for having some announcer parachute in an hour or two before the game and act as though they have any significant knowledge if the teams and players participating. Herbstreit is a professional, but not amazing IMO - not worth having him jet across the country to call every primetime game. I would MUCH prefer to have a designated team (even no-name announcers) stay in town for a few days, get to know the town and people, do a number of interviews and actually contribute something meaningful to the game cast.
October 1st, 2017 at 10:46 AM ^
Herbstreit has been to Ann Arbor more times than many of our fans and he does team research on the plane. He'll be fine.
October 1st, 2017 at 11:22 AM ^
Wasn't suggesting that Herbstreit didn't know Ann Arbor, but how much has he spoken with Harbaugh, and don brown, and drevo, and Speight, and Gary, the other starters, the backups, etc? How much does he know about THIS team beyond another outside observer? Having someone physically there to do this legwork and being able to discuss it personally (not just putting it into a one page summary to hand to the on air personality) would mean much more and add to the broadcast quality. Kind of like how UM radio adds to their game cast since they actually know about the team. Of course, you want to present both sides, so have the other on air guy/gal work with the other team.

Wants to listen to a homer on a national TV broadcast
October 1st, 2017 at 1:32 PM ^
Who said anything about having it be a homer? I just suggested having someone knowledgeable about the teams (both teams playing) because they've put in the time to learn about it. The UM radio announcers do this for UM opponents as well as the home team, which is why I used them as an example.
October 1st, 2017 at 11:06 AM ^
We have the prime time game of the week and folks still want to complain.
October 1st, 2017 at 11:14 AM ^
Only if you want a color commentator to describe exactly what you just saw. No real football insight IMO. I'll take Speilman any day.
October 1st, 2017 at 11:17 AM ^
give me spielman and romo
October 1st, 2017 at 11:58 AM ^
Romo was a beast. Every team should be entitled to have him call one game each season.
October 1st, 2017 at 11:19 AM ^
They are broadcasting a football game, not a documentary. Herbie does his prep work to call a good game.
October 1st, 2017 at 11:26 AM ^
But Spielman should be doing college games.

Ft Worth pal.
Gameday won’t be going to Waco for a long, long time.
October 1st, 2017 at 10:36 AM ^
Baylor doesn't even have a game on Oct 7.
October 1st, 2017 at 10:46 AM ^
Has become unwatchable...Unless it's jamele hill of course
October 1st, 2017 at 11:35 AM ^
But would you smash?
October 1st, 2017 at 10:54 AM ^
FAKE!
October 1st, 2017 at 10:59 AM ^
Don't watch Gameday or any other pre-game show. Waste of time.
October 1st, 2017 at 11:21 AM ^
Tough guy alert.
October 1st, 2017 at 11:56 AM ^
Lol not liking whatever it is that gameday has devolved to makes you a tough guy?
October 1st, 2017 at 12:23 PM ^
I dont watch pregame shows as I am usually vacuuming the house and contemplating my life choices.
October 1st, 2017 at 12:30 PM ^
Lol. This is me. I try to clean the hell out of my place before kickoff so I can feel better about chugging beers at 9am when we play.
October 1st, 2017 at 12:54 PM ^
We should be friends, because sounds like me
October 1st, 2017 at 1:32 PM ^
I think it's more the "don't care" "waste of time" attitude without bothering to say why. He must have a more important life than OP and wanted people to know.
October 1st, 2017 at 11:33 AM ^
I do a college football pregame show from my basement with people in my neighborhood - very insightful stuff - discuss mascots, uniforms etc - hard hitting coverage - don't lump all pregame shows together - we all have something to offer..............
October 1st, 2017 at 12:07 PM ^
I'd probably find this more entertaining than what is on tv. Regular people, discussing football, drinking (maybe?), and sharing opinions would be better than paid commentators discussing what network execs told them to say.
