I don’t care where Gameday is as long as it’s in Bloomington on 10/17  

Does Fox not get first dibs? Or is the thought they wouldn’t come back because they were here once already? I prefer Big Noon to Gameday these days.

There's no dibs on those. 99% of the time FOX goes to wherever their Big Noon game is except last week when they go to London and still have O$U on FOX just to tick off their fan base.

Is it not on Fox? I’m out of the loop I guess. 
 

Although, I did see their fans whining about noon kickoffs. I like them personally. Someone posted ratings and it looked like noon games were equal to or outdrawing prime time games, so I don’t see it changing anytime soon.

I've been in Columbus when both have been there so it's possible they will show up.  But as they have become more and more SEC focused this last year or two, they have not really gone to other places aside from SEC even when the B1G has the best matchup.  Big Noon has already announced they will be there since it's their noon game.

True but I think it works out for us ever SEC matchup will be somewhere they have already gone. And this will likely be the only meeting of two top 5 teams by then.

Illinois has a bird mascot? Regardless, don't see Bucknuts losing at home to a very average Illini, unless Bielema eats several of O$U's best players first.

Some students are trying to create a new mascot similar to how we brought back the Bison.

So like Sark is a *****. Like even in a career where most of these dudes are generally unlikeable, he manages to stand out

Crap, VT scored. I was rooting for the Frank Beamer special.

Texas defense doing a lot to keep Tennessee in the game. Tbf that was the second time Simmons celebrated that way. Assume refs warned eomeone about it

QBs a combined 17-30 for 103 yards. Seems like a lot of high level play
