GameDay 2018 - The Decline Continues

[Thetexashammer 1,062]

Fuck Tom Rinaldi. Fuck Fat Herbstreit. Fuck the sign police. Fuck Ekrich Sausage. Fuck Desmond Howard and anyone who think he belongs there. Fuck Cheezits. Love Corso but, um, yeah ok. Fuck the three hour format. And fuck ESPN for ruining a once great institution.

[Droopy 2,626]

Reverend!

[TankedBevo 2,482]

Used to be a can't miss program on Saturdays but I haven't watched in years. I feel bad no one has the sack to tell Corso to hang it up, it's doing him a disservice to keep trotting him out there to bumble around.

[GHOSTUSER 361]

Still a staple and tradition. I watch every Saturday morning during football season. I don’t think there is a better way to start a morning of college football.  It’s not any worse than it has been. What else are you going to watch before games?

[EuroHorn 3,265]

I like Cheez-its

show hasn't been the same since fowler left and espn's constant slobbing of sec cock hasn't helped things either.

it's fine background noise and i still like to see corso's headgear picks, but it's nowhere near what it used to be and i can not imagine ever sitting and watching all 3 hours of it.

[Nivek 16,943]

I used to watch for the hype and excitement. I didnt have kids then and we didnt suck shit.

Corso picked us to win both the RRS and the conference.

[Neonmoon 38,129]

It’s sad they keep trotting out Corso. He doesn’t know where he is half the time. Just stop. 

[Vertigo 20,290]

He just picked Texas to win the B12. Fuck that guy!

[Irwin F Fletcher 3,550]

Was it on this morning? Huh? Guess I don't miss it all that much.

[TheFlyingBoat 906]

Herbie, Fowler, and Corso are GameDay to me. Get rid of everyone else imo. Honestly bench Corso now too; he's too old and has lost his marbles 

 

[mdleast 8,295]

Though I record it, I almost never watch GD these days other than to quickly scan through and see what they have to say about our game or anything else that really jumps out as I scanning through.  However, I watch every minute of College Football Final the next morning. I've realized I much prefer the recap and breakdown of games than previews.  Plus, my hot sports/assholish opinion - I HATE the special interest stories that litter their show every week now.

 

[mdleast 8,295]

Also I fear Desmond Howard's murderous laugh.  I imagine it is what you hear as he is repeatedly stabbing you in a dark alley on Halloween night...

[Okie State 3,821]

Desmond was the only one saying the committee is bullshit so props to him for that.

[Surly Bevo 24,996]

I became an EPL fan about 9 years ago.  I know soccer isn't for everybody but damn it's nice to watch actual competition than a bunch of douchebags slobbering over themselves and whatever the agenda flavor of the month is....

[HenryJames 66,081]

Only reason to watch are the signs.

[Fuck Tim Beck 3,834]

It's nothing but cross promotion for the mouse now. And the sec. 

[HenryJames 66,081]

Surly needs to do its own GameDay.

[Red Five 40,859]

Only reason to watch are the signs.

“And now it’s time for Game Day Signs brought to you by Home Depot!”.

[Incredulity 11,675]

Problem with Corso is he seems to have weeks where he is back to just being a goofy clown.  Then he falls apart to stroke impaired mush mouth.

 

I’ll put up with Corso long before anything from Lou Holtz.  Fuck the speech impaired dickwad.

[ousux 5,597]

What new things are they doing to ruin it this year?

I think it's just a matter of something that peaked out about a decade ago and has run its course. Having said that, if they truly try something different people (incl myself, probably) would bitch incessantly wanting the old gameday back. Whatcha gonna do?

Oh, and OU sucks, fuck aggy etc etc..

This. Maybe I'll watch again when I get old and don't have anything better to do.

[Shmitty 112]

I'll be watching just for the references to Urban and tpOSU

[Bartles 769]

I like the Bear point spread stuff, and they may bump that content up now that it's being legalized.

[Hamttx 419]

Shit, what about the dumb fuck “Bear” guy? Where did they find that fucking rube at? He looks like a special needs guy from Chicago, and he gets his own gig? One more reason to remind me what a failure I am. 

 We have a dozen plus posters on this site that would make a better viewing experience. And are just as capable of reading off statistics.

[Hamttx 419]

Lutz, timing. You got to have it..

[Bartles 769]

Ham's posts should have gone first, would make more sense. Bear is Chris Fallica, I think his stuff is informative. At least he brings info and not trying to be an actor or something. No idea what his pick-record is, but he always has solid reasoning for it. He's a Miami-Fla fan as I recall

Didn't Corso pose nude with Burt Reynolds or something?

[Thetexashammer 1,062]

Oh God, the "Bear". I knew I was blocking something out. Dude has a wicked lisp and no place on a television set.

I actually wish they gave the Bear more time.. seems like he actually knows his stuff on the fringe games

Featuring who?

I'd say Blacklab, Derka, Phlegm, and Rocko

Seems like gameday and women’s sports aren’t the only options out there.

Thanks but I’m usually too drunk to be on TV

Without Corso it's totally over.  I haven't watch in years, but check for his shit.

Agree, Corso could go full potato this year and it won't matter...

He's the only one of those fucksticks that chose Texas to win in 05. He gets a pass for the rest of his days on earth..

That's nice but generally he's just kind of dumb. I like hosts that can stop to actually break down plays/strategies sometimes.

[Homercles 10,206]

Gonna shamelessly cross-post this because it’s awesome...despite being 99% sure it was an important game we lost (like 99/100 important games Pokes play in football)...but almost seeing herbie die by the hand of corso is almost worth it.

[RD3 64]

Jim Miller's "Origins" podcast did an entire episode to GameDay.

He mentioned that one of things that differentiates that show from others is it draws marginal fans to watch it.  Many folks who watch the show DON'T EVEN WATCH CFB.

Crazy but that's something.

And 3 hours is way too long, I miss Fowler and Corso got old on us.

[1leggedduck 443]

Funny that the show features Lee Corso, but I consider Desmond Howard to be the impaired one.

[C-Man 27,230]

Didn't Corso pose nude with Burt Reynolds or something?

You’re a big jerk

[Surly Bevo 24,996]

You’re a big jerk

We’re having fun here....no?

[tbone_ 14,128]

I have no problem with Corso. Dude has earned it. Let him sit out there and do whatever he wants as long as he wants.

By this sentiment all old guys who have been at their jobs a really long time and used to do it very well should just get to hang around as long as they want....

[tbone_ 14,128]

Yea I know. But I still think corso has earned it.

You just described every Surly poster. 

[HRSchenker 2,268]

I only watch the last 30 minutes of GameDay and any Big 12 focus pieces. The first two hours are so brutal, just get to the picks and the headgear.
