It's easier to decide the football GameDay because it's an outdoor event.  With the indoor basketball show, they have to block out the arena for the entire day.

We will never be a regular draw for GameDay. We play OFF CAMPUS in an NBA arena. Nova did Gameday last year but moved it on campus to showcase their old gym; no one is interested in Nova showcasing the 76ers arena. Same logic can be applied to the Bradley Center.

Great idea, but I imagine they would prefer to set it up where the game will be as to avoid moving all of the equipment the trucks...

East coast bias....Florida State, Pittsburgh, Arizona, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Michigan, UConn and either Duke or Kansas.

Huuuuuuge east coast bias. Damn them for wanting to televise the national champions against Syracuse.

I guess maybe you can leave FSU out, but Pittsburgh and UConn reinforce East Coast bias, they don't disprove it.

F*ckin's right. The horse's ass hooked us up via all his wonderful media contacts. Plus he's tight with McCarthy, LaRussa, and Maddox.
