ESPN Gameday is possible for Wisky game

[ichawk24]

Morehouse/Dochterman mentioned on their podcast that Iowa City is in play, and that ESPN contacted the AD about possible locations. BTN Tailgate is broadcasting from Hubbard Park the same morning.

Stanford/Oregon is the biggest challenger, and Bear tweeted or mentioned something that they're leaning towards a "home town" team, referring to Herbstreit broadcasting Stanford/Oregon and that makes them more likely to Gameday that game.

So, sounds like not a strong chance, but a chance.

My thought: I won't shed a tear if Gameday doesn't bring their parade into town. Just WIN baby

Yup, IIRC the last time they were here was a ugly loss.

 

[DodgerHawki]

Yup, IIRC the last time they were here was a ugly loss.

That means we should never have them here again

Seriously, no downside if they come. Would be cool to have some focus on the Hawks. But what will matter most is who wins the game.

 

[thewop]

If I were gameday and I knew they were going to put me across the river FAR from the stadium, I'd go elsewhere 100% of the time.

 

[ffjoey44]

I don’t care about espn, I just want a win

 

[QChawks]

This.

However in all the years of game day I don’t think we’ve ever won will they were in town or away. Would be nice to end that streak.

Let's worry about beating UNI first

 

[hawkcub]

My guess is if Stanford or Oregon get upset they want to have a backup.

 

[ffjoey44]

Let's worry about beating UNI first

Agreed, this offense is not good enough to survive a look ahead game

 

[Tim Dodge Rules]

Let's worry about beating UNI first

Why?

 

[ffjoey44]

Why?

Seriously?

 

[Tim Dodge Rules]

Seriously?

Are you a player? Or coach?

You do realize the only people who can't overlook games are players and coaches, right?

 

[myteamcanbeatupyourteam]

Let's worry about beating UNI first

For the last time. Us fans have ZERO bearing on the game. I am totally looking past UNI!!!!!!!!!

 

[ffjoey44]

I assumed the “let’s worry about UNI first” by its very nature implied the players and coaches, not the fans. Just like when someone writes “we” and “us” I don’t assume they were on the field of play.

Cool

So then why post on a fan board where it's only fans and not players or staff telling everyone to not overlook the next opponent? Obviously no one on here wants the team to overlook UNI, but there is absolutely no connection to this thread and the actual game...

Huh?
What do fans talking about Game Day vs Wisc have to do with the players and coaches this week?

 

[SWIowahawks]

Neither one is gonna get upset unfortunately. Oregon has done nothing deserving of being ranked besides blowing out two crap schools. Iowa had a better 2017 and won its bowl game while Oregon lost. It’s pretty dumb that they are ranked and Iowa is not after Iowa beat a P5 school last week.

 

[ichawk24]

Sagarin would have Iowa as a 9 point favorite on a neutral field with Oregon.

 

[WorldSeriesChamps2015]

This.

PSU 2009

 

[anon_2zMXH429BhxV1Npk]

I would say the factors Stanford-Oregon have going for it:

1. Autzen
2. Bryce Love
3. Checking the box for a Pac12 game
4. Ranked teams (however arguable it is)
5. ABC

What Wisconsin-Iowa has:

1. Kinnick
2. Jonathan Taylor
3. Haven't been to Iowa in quite some time (2006?)
4. Battle for the Big Ten West

Unfortunately I think that #3 and #5 for Stanford-Oregon really trump everything else considering they still have Wisconsin-Michigan, Wisconsin-PSU, Michigan-OSU, OSU-PSU, and most importantly they are doing an OSU game this week.

I would love to have gameday again because I was a student in 2006 and it was an amazing atmosphere (despite the game itself). I really don't think it's in the cards, unfortunately.

Why discuss anything here then

 

[anon_2zMXH429BhxV1Npk]

Also fun fact, Iowa is 1-6 all time in games where Gameday is present, with the only win being the aforementioned 2009 game at PSU.

 

[anon_2zMXH429BhxV1Npk]

Why discuss anything here then

Wait, I'm pretty sure we're the ones trying to discuss Gameday and you're the one telling us not to because "we" can't overlook UNI.

 

[anon_2zMXH429BhxV1Npk]

Fun fact #2 (and 2a):

Iowa State has never participated in a Gameday game.

Bonus: Incarnate Word has been in one. They lost 58-0 @ NDSU.

Add "The Wave" to the list, if Iowa gets Gameday over Oregon-Stanford that'll probably be the biggest factor.

Shoot, good call I forgot that and yes that is a big non-football factor. Don't think Oregon has anything like that going for it.

Oregon has been a part of Gameday 22 times, hosting 9. They obviously love Autzen and I do think ABC carrying the game is the biggest trump card.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

As a fairly traditional man, I’d prefer Gameday not come for this game. Children and impressionable people across the country need not see Connie lift her skirt on the 22nd.

 

[SoFla-Hawkeye]

If I were gameday and I knew they were going to put me across the river FAR from the stadium, I'd go elsewhere 100% of the time.

This cannot be overstated. Are there not options closer to the stadium?

 

[ffjoey44]

Wait, I'm pretty sure we're the ones trying to discuss Gameday and you're the one telling us not to because "we" can't overlook UNI.

I never told anyone not to discuss anything

 

[ichawk24]

When the Big Ten crew was live for the.... 2015 Minnesota(?) game, they were located just NW of Melrose/Hawkins.

Gameday would be better situated outside Kinnick, then wasting away at Hubbard Park.

BTN crew is slated to be at Hubbard Park next weekend.

 

[JRich52806]

Not many options close to the stadium. Its pretty packed around there.
Maybe at the UI Hall of fame building? Thats still not very close though.

 

[Tim Dodge Rules]

"Let's worry about beating UNI first" isn't exactly encouraging further Game Day discussion!

joey you're kinda digging yourself in a bigger and bigger hole here.
Bottom line is fans can talk all they want about any game ever with zero impact on actual game.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

This cannot be overstated. Are there not options closer to the stadium?

Not really. Probably have to be a stadium show. Maybe the baseball field, Idk

 

[Gridiron24]

Hubbard Park is just about the only place they could hold it, and given that is already booked by BTN/Fox, I wouldn't count on them being in Iowa City next weekend.

@Penn State on is more likely on October 27th, especially if both teams are undefeated

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

PSU 2009

1-6 overall (2009 PSU) 0-2 at home

 

[knudson55]

I know most of you are saying you don't care about having Game Day, but if you think about it from a recruiting aspect, your university basically has the biggest exposure in the country for that day. Recruits watch game day, and it is an awesome thing to have.
