ESPN Gameday on Feb. 28

[Fozzy]

Will be nice if they come and great for the Valley, but to be honest I couldn't tell you where Gameday was from today or last week as I don't really pay attention to it. I think the big game that weekend will be at WSU, but if Gameday isn't there, that's their loss.

A class of students started this last year, and are at it again:

Can't believe they would pick UCLA over Utah. Makes you wonder what bonehead choice they would make over WSU/UNI.

They had to go somewhere next week, why not Arizona. Next weekend (Sat. the 21st) just happens to be a really weak slate of games. WVU at OK St is the only top 25 match up and they are both barely top 25. Gameday also went to Stillwater just last year for the KU game so it was highly unlikely they'd go back so soon.

In the past when the sites were picked months in advance Wichita would have had no chance. But it's amazing how things are breaking in our favor. We happen to have what is potentially our biggest home game in decades on a weekend when the top competition for the site includes a team that was on Gameday just the week before. Also, earlier in the year it looked like Texas at KU could be a match up of top 10 teams, but Rick Barnes is going to Rick Barnes and now Texas is 7th in their conference standings.

The odds of this actually happening are much higher than I ever would have imagined were possible back when the list of 4 "finalists" was announced.

Isn't the Gameday game usually the late tipoff? If so, I would assume that means Arizona/Utah will be the site chosen.

So Zona gets back-to-back Gamedays.

Typical.

Next.

Is there a correlation between time and college game day?

No doubt if they call, Sexton and Marshall will answer with arms wide open..,

Last early game to host: January 18, 2014 (Temple hosting against LaSalle), 11 AM CST tipoff. That was a co-hosted Gameday where they split the duties with UConn (night game). Before that, Georgetown hosted Gameday for an 11 AM CST tip against Syracuse on March 9, 2013.

Very unlikely at this point but not impossible.

Even if we don't get GameDay (I think it's a long shot) its pretty sweet to be on ESPN and not the deuce or U!

@KWCHWill: WSU will host #UNI at 1p on 2/28.
Shox can still host Gameday despite the early tip.

Well there's an earth-shattering revelation.

Why in the world would you follow that guy?
