NOT HAPPENING: ESPN College Gameday in NOLA. UCF @Tulane

[Central Floridave]

Just starting this thread for the push to get it...No actual data that says they going to NOLA...just starting discussion...

Top 25 line up with conference Championship on the line plus, NY6 bowl game.

Go Knights...Go ESPN College Gameday (plus hope Lee Corso gets better and can attend).

A week ago Purdue/IL was the favorite but they both lost today. Very good chance it's NOLA for Gameday next week.

Only 526 tickets remaining at this time. That's sounds like a sellout to me. Tulane deserves this. Who knows when this opportunity comes again for Tulane. GameDay to Tulane would be entertaining.

Purdue Illinois is about as boring as it could get.

Bama Ole Miss waa also a threat bama down to LSU right now

Smu vs houston is an embarrassment from a defensive standpoint

 

[PhDee]

College Gameday has to come to New Orleans. There's literally no other options for CGD!

Hi, Tulane fan here. Wasn’t sure Id be able to post here but seems I’m able to.

We certainly want it to happen. Some buzz I’m hearing is that campus locations have been pre selected should we be chosen. Anyway, happy to answer questions about campus etc. Whatever happens - may the best team win.

College GameDay officially announces it's headed to TCU at Texas this week (sorry Green Wave)

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

I thought a tweet was sent a while ago that was the spot by Brett Mc.

Gameday dropped the ball on this one.

Gameday dropped the ball on this one.

not really. They were probably worried about turnout . Tulane doesn’t have much of a fanbase , small private school

showcasing our future conference

 

[The Knightman Cometh]

Wtf. Thanks Kansas St. for dropping the ball.

And Gameday, awful decision. Tulane would have came out and equally crazy UCF fans too. Boring Texas repeat.

 

[mattropolis]

Man, they just love kissing that Texas ass. It will be Top 10 @ Top 20, though. Still, you’d think they’d want to do something new as supposed stewards of the game. Gameday in New Orleans!!! This will be only the 3rd time in the last decade they are actually in Austin, although they were already there earlier this season. You’d think they would try to find different places to go, at least for the 12 regular season games.

Frankly, I haven’t watched Gameday in many, many years. I find playing sand volleyball every Saturday from 9-10 until whenever a much better use of my time.

 

[KnightNite]

This betters our chances of winning IMO.

 

[Poolside Knight]

I can’t really blame them for wanting to be in Austin. Great place and they probably wish Texas was more consistent so they can go there more

we had our opening for UCF to get it again and we slipped up at ECU.

We know ESPN wants money. Texas going to Sec… Sec = $$$ for espn

Didn't they go to Austin for Bama at Texas

Tbh i was worried having gameday on site could have boosted Tulane. Win out and maybe we get cgd for ccg

 

[Poolside Knight]

yes . maybe it is my bias speaking. New Orleans is fun w great food too but not the biggest fan. Austin is my preference

I hope you have been to both.

My experience: I found Tulane fans to be welcoming and Hospitable. UT fans were very much get off my lawn assholes. I would return to Tulane anytime. UT I wouldn't ever intentionally go back.

 

[UCFBS]

Ouch! Talk about a missed opportunity!

No ESPN College GameDay, but plenty of historical significance on tap for Tulane-UCF

With the network announcing its GameDay crew will head to Austin, Texas for the Texas-TCU game, it will miss the first Tulane home game in 73 years when both teams

ESPN made the right call. No energy (on behalf of Tulane) here. Half that stadium was UCF. All you could hear on TV were UCF fans. Announcers said all the Tulane fans left by the 3rd and it's true! All you could see were UCF fans at he end of the game. Not cool, Tulane. But also I appreciate our fans and how well they travel to support the team anywhere! I tried hard going to this one but couldn't make it out this year. But already planning a BYU Utah trip hopefully next year if given the opportunity!

This is why I'll be so happy for UCF not to play in front of Temple, Tulsa, Tulane and USF type crowds.

Nola smells rancid, has kids from the local hoods banging on home depot buckets on every corner, and appeared completely mismanaged with traffic/construction the last time we were there for the last UCF @Tulane game ...anyone else remember that cluster F construction site collapse with the town leaving dead bodies on the top of the buildings for weeks (maybe months)?

Gumbo was excellent though.

yes I have been to Austin but not for a Texas game . it is more my vibe

Yeah, good team but the crowd (a few people standing close to each other) was embarrassing.

usf is just rediculous as they pay to rent all those empty seats.....can't they at least put some stippers and hookers in them?
