College GameDay comes to Pullman. Can Cal fans match the enthusiasm of Cougar fans? I'm concerned they cannot. What do you think?

I'm sure the remarkable streak of the big WSU flag being waved on every Game Day show for about 20 years had more than a little to do with Game Day coming to Pullman. Maybe Cal can get it done by 2040 if we start on that now.

Cal fans, perhaps including the people organizing Cal sports events, are really missing out if they don't show some enthusiasm in supporting big Cal sporting events. Guess only country folks up in eastern Washington can do that. They, at least, know how to have fun.

Go Bears.

If Cal actually had a good enough team to get GameDay to show up, I think the fans would show out in a similar fashion. Remember how jazzed up the fanbase was before Tennessee in 2007 (the last time GameDay would have realistically come to Berkeley)? It would be like that.

I doubt many GameDays are preceded by a "Tennessee like" fan enthusiasm. I think the ball is your court to prove that.

Gameday at Memorial glade would look amazing

I agree!!! The perfect location for it.

I'm totally new to all of this, and know nothing about how early a GameDay game is typically scheduled befpre it is played.

But if we beat UC Davis, Auburn, and San Diego St. to start off the season, I think that might be suffiicient for ESPN GameDay to schedule Gameday at Cal for their fifth game this season, against Miami, since Cal would still have a winning record before that game even if we lose to Florida St. in our fourth game this season.

An article indicating potential GameDay games this season. I'm actually not a regulzr Gameday viewer and probably have only viewed three or four GameDay telecasts through the years, but it seems from the article below that GameDay coverage of games are not normally set in stone far in advance.

Wait…you've only seen 3 or 4 throughout the tenure?

Yet this is the abiding passion of your life?

It's clearly not/. I've only watched a few trelecasts of GameDays and not for the full show. If Cal is on it it's a totally different deal.

One item I should mention if Cal is on GameDay, a lot more people will attend the game if they are willing to show up early to personally watch the GameDay event beforehand, bringing in more revenue for Cal. They may also want to tape it so watch it again later when they get home.

Definitely going to need to have the vibe and attendance improve but if, IF, we're 4-0 going into the Miami game, maybe the fact that we're one of a handful yet to have Gameday works in our favor as a network promotional gimmick. As always, I hope.

Dude's MO that I've seen on BI is finding one specific topic and then adopting it as their posting passion. I think this is the same person that felt very strongly about a statue commemorating The Play outside Memorial Stadium.

And also that Cal should have formed its own new west coast conference with former Mountain West teams rather than join the ACC. Same guy, same spamming.
