College GameDay (football TV program)
College GameDay is a pre-game show broadcast by ESPN as part of the network's coverage of college football, broadcast on Saturday mornings during the college football season. In its current form, the program is typically broadcast from the campus of the team hosting a featured game being played that day and features news and analysis of the day's upcoming games.
The GameDay crew record a post-game segment for SportsCenter at Nebraska on September 15, 2007.
Fan-made signs and flags being held up behind the set help make up the atmosphere of GameDay, as seen here at UCF in November 2018.
At Virginia Tech in November 2005, Corso picks the University of Miami to upset Virginia Tech. Note the head of Sebastian the Ibis, the University of Miami's mascot.
At Penn State in October 2017, several people were lined up for GameDay by 3 AM, 6 hours before the show began.
