Thanks for the link (couldn't access the site in Mexico for some reason).Big Dog said:
thank you, fiat lux, but the rumor is still out there for the Tenn game. (or is this an unreputable source?)
"Fitting said Cal turned the show down several years ago. He didn't say which year..."

Yeah, that clip / article had nothing to do with the Tennessee game. We would have 100% taken Game Day for that game, or the SC game later that year had each team not fallen so badly..
Game Day went to VA Tech because of that summer's massacre. Cal was the #1 game that weekend, with the entire #1 ABC production crew. It's a shame because that broadcast really was an homage to Cal. A time capsule worth saving and revisiting in the all too expected dark nadirs that are the Cal football experience.
