Started thinking about it and gameday has been at LSU's opener almost every year since Les got here. Help me out on a couple of these that I don't remember.

2011- LSU-Oregon
2010- LSU-UNC
2009- LSU-Washington (were they there for it?)
2008- LSU-App St.
2007- LSU-VTech (opener was vs. MSST, but that was a Thursday game, so I'm counting VTech as the opener)
2005- LSU-Az. St. (can't remember this one either)

ESPN tends to push games that they carry - both the Oregon and UNC games were on ESPN or ABC.

uhhhh, last season and this season are the only season openers gameday has been at. 2 out of 7 is hardly every year.

Was this game played on a Saturday or was it earlier in the week? I remember that they moved it around somehow because of concerns with Hurricane, but can't remember if they moved it to earlier in the week or just earlier in the day.

It was earlier in the day because of the hurricane. It was like a 10am game and was hot as hell. I could have sworn gameday was there for it, so my bad.

I just realized that 5 of the last 7 years, LSU has not opened the season at home. That sucks, that has to stop

And espn cameras at a game does not equal gameday

Then a rain delay before the game started. And a streaker jumped on the field.

LSU will potentially have 3 gameday appearances: Oregon, WVU, and Alabama.
