“IF” Minniesoda can beat Penn State and Iowa, then I am all for Gameday being there for their Nov. 30 showdown with Wisconsin.

I really do like P. J. Fleck, but they really need to earn it.


Minny has beaten the same number of ranked teams as Bama

He is kind of right. Let them have it. Personally, I am long past Game day anyway. I try to catch Marcus and Tebow and now that Laura is back, sure better to look at than Reece Davis.

Let them have it. I’d rather see SEC Nation with Tebow and Spears there.

It's a fair argument, and I don't think anyone would mind if they went up there, but it just isn't going to happen. GameDay can't afford not to be Tuscaloosa that weekend.

I give it a 1% chance only because the LSU/Bama game is on CBS. But that typically has no bearing from what I can tell.

Kudos to Minnesota this year, though. Would be cool to see them upset some of the big guys in the Big 10.

Yep ... no way the #1 vs #2 regular season matchup draws a viewing audience like Minnesota and Penn St.
Does he really think the local population has anything to do with how ESPN chooses their Game Day location ?

I don't blame the guy for trying but c'mon man ... you picked the wrong week to make your attempt.

Does tv viewership vary depending on location?

GameDay should go to Minnesota on NOv 9. Minnesota being undefeated is a big cfb story. LSU-Bama does not need that hype.

Since the game is at Tuscaloosa I'm fine with ESPN Gameday going to MPLS.

Bama and Ohio St. had the most gamedays hosted and I don't mind them going to Minn. and this will be the first gameday to Minn.

They should go. They’ll still be talking about our game a shite ton either way.

Look at the turn around Fleck has made! This guy is a winner plain and simple he has proved it on a small and big stage!

Two 8-0 teams batting it out that no one thought would be 8-0 at this point, they deserve it! How many times have they gone to Bama, how many times have they been apart of LSU when we were worthy. F*ck it they have earned it!!

On a side note, whatever SEC team that first fires their coach this year - looking at you Arky and Moo St. If you don’t hire Fleck your an idiot! This guy will win no matter what college or what conference he is in. Like Saban he is a winner! I am not saying he is as good as Saban, I am saying he is a winner like Saban doesn’t matter what part of the country. Saban is from West Virginia. Fleck will row your f*cking boat to relevancy again.

oh, the irony.

And look, I like Fleck and his energy. It's a great story so far. But Minn hasn't played anybody. 3 of their next 4 are against Penn State, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

Let's see how they do against the legit teams before we anoint him.

I don't want Gameday in Tuscaloosa, same as i didn't want the game at night. No need to empty every trailer park in that shithole and have em stirred up.

Your first mistake, you have a liberals name and that in itself is reason to laugh at you!

But more importantly you need to understand, most Gumps have probation curfews so they wouldn’t be at the night game but those toothless cousin marrying Gumps will be out in force during the day
