ESPN Gameday on Feb. 28

[WstateU]

If GameDay comes to town, anyone think we could work in a segment of Fever and me raslin'?

Seriously though, I'm excited by the sudden increase in probability that this actually happens. (GameDay, not the raslin')

Come on, I'd pay good money to see you 2 raslin'...

That ref must have lubed up.

Do not underestimate ESPNs affiliation with the Longhorn Network.

I am thinking this is 51% likely now. Do you think my optimism is too high??

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

I have a hard time letting go of the fear that GameDay will be 2 hrs away in Lawrence.

That would be so epically stupid on so many levels given the "just another game" nature of Texas at KU this year, but I just can't shake off that gut feeling that ESPN might do it anyway.

Come on ESPN. Make the smart... errrr... the not really stupid.... choice.

[WuDrWu]

So does that mean Texas-KU has the edge?

Everybody knows that you can't bypass on Lawrence for a year.


Need to thrash the Redturds or this all becomes a moot point.

The folks that have dismissed the KU UT matchup have, imho, made a grave mistake. I cannot imagine Espn passing on their love child. I think the best we can hope for is a secondary team IF we can manage to be 16-1 on the 27th. That's a big if.

So when does it get announced? Like a week away?

Ratings will drive the decision. We're a long shot.

Heck, the only thing that I'm concerned about at this point is getting a dubya tomorrow.

I don't think you can dismiss KU-Texas and I wouldn't think WSU would have much of a chance if they hadn't already done a Ku and Duke game this year. But since they have already done both of those places, I would think WSU-UNI game day actually has a decent chance of happening. WSU and UNI just need to win these next two games and I think they are at least seriously considered. Good ratings for Saturday's game at Illinois St is also a must.

Gameday has been to Lawrence every other year for quite some time. Last time was two years ago.

[Steeleshocker]

While you can't dismiss KU getting gameday, it would be really fun for WSU to be the location that prevented them from hosting this year. They'd have a conniption.

If we believe we belong and this is our time, it's gonna happen.

PLAY ANGRY! LET'S GO!

Just saw that UCLA at Arizona was selected for gameday next week.

How much does this affect our chances? I know I'm biased, but I think this gives us much better odds.

Would seem to eliminate most, if not all of the arguments in favor of UA/Utah. Can't believe they would pick UCLA over Utah. Makes you wonder what bonehead choice they would make over WSU/UNI. But, I am sure there are MANY less crucial games at KU,Duke, NC, Kentucky.

Come to think of it, UK undefeated is probably what they are holding out for, assuming UK plays that day and is still undefeated.

UK is not one of the finalists for hosting. Plus, their regular season is a week longer. So they would be going for the undefeated regular season on March 3, while we are in our conference tournament.
