🏈 ESPN Gameday

[LBS]

How many times and for which games will ESPN Gameday be in Tuscaloosa this year?

 

[BamaCore]

I'd put my money on the Bama-Penn St. game.

Bama-Florida for sure

Most likely Bama-PSU

Bama/PSU being ESPN's Prime Time game makes it about as certain and can be.

When the Tide and Gators meet, you have a game between two teams that have lost one regular season game between them in two years...and one will lose. That has to be the top game of that week, and perhaps the year. But is twice in Tuscaloosa in a month too much?

The Bama/Barn game will be on CBS as well. Probably do like this past year and move it up an hour. 1:30 local kick off time.

This is the second year of that 2 year agreement to play the day after thanksgiving.

Yes the game will be on CBS but this will not be an "ESPN Gameday" game.


To LBS,
I'd say the Bama-Florida game would be more likely than the Bama-PSU game because I could see them going to Ohio State-Miami instead of the Bama-PSU game knowing they are going to Tuscaloosa for Bama-Florida.

That logic is sound, but one still has to wonder how to say NO to your own Prime Time game.
