College Game Day is in Fargo, ND for a 2nd year, Y not UM

Need to rally the troops to fly a banner complaining about espn not bringing GameDay here, that will really ruffle some feathers

Because UM does not have the atmosphere for it. Where are you going to put hundreds of people at 7:30 am? It's definitely not the stadium. South Beach? Absolutely not. The Europeans, Canadians, and South Americans that hang out there don't know UM or American College Football.
Hold it on UM campus? Perhaps. You might get 200 kids getting up early for it.

Bottomline, UM is not a conducive place to hold Gameday. Maybe one of those Noon games vs FSU when they are ranked in the top 5. Perhaps we will see that again some day.
 
Miami has not been relevant in college football in a long time plus sun life stadium sucks for college game day too.

Actually yes they have done a set from South beach in the past during one of their several trips to Miami.

Here is a list of stops over the years

Maybe it is a good thing; just turned it off because it is so self-aggrandizing and just plain bad now. To wit:

- A small segment on why attendance at the North Dakota game might be down due to hunting season, narrated with the appropriate "I do Wimbledon when I'm not doing this" smugness by Chris Fowler.

- The plain "we are bigger than the games" audacity of being in North Dakota again...Any ESPiN suite check the ratings after the last show?

- A story on Pedo St. getting their sanctions reduced by Marky Mark Emmert and the Funky Bunch. Desmond Howard (the only BLACK guy on-camera "at the table") makes great points about how incompetent it is to reduce penalties in the most egregious crime associated with college football while keeping them enforced on programs where a poor athlete received money (ok, he was on shaky ground with the parents' house comment). Immediately, $uckeye Kirk states he completely disagrees and gives the same old defense of PSU we have heard ad nauseaum...I'm amazed he can talk having the @*%&$ of Jim Delanny, Mark Emmert, Urban meyer and five ESPiN suits in his mouth. On cue, they bring David Pollock, who I imagine now spells Corso during most of the program. Pollock already me showed his superior intellect when, during the only ten minutes I listened to ESPN radio this week, mentioned he would "like to see Braxton Miller play a team where he could be run down" Yes, when you are a football savant like Pollock, doing RESEARCH into the 2012 Miami vs. O$Uck game is not needed. Of course, Pollock's awareness of the all things football was on display, when in slurping up to the the $uckeye, he mentioned "That everyone involved is behind bars" Guess nobody yelling in his earpiece was able to tell him in time that the former Pedo St. Prez, Police administrator and AD are still awaiting trial.

-Please, enough with the average (at best) wife of the Vikings 3rd string QB

There used to be a feature with a Miami Alum off to the side in a headset (director?) making picks, but the show is too hard to watch to wait and see if he pops up.

Because their fan base wouldn't have people holding signs rooting against the team and flying a banner that would get on TV sayin "our coach is ***"
