GameDay @ Bloomington just announced...

I said "we" have never had gameday. We certainly want someone who is nationally known. Might as well have Jordan Hulls on. :rolleyes:
I said “they” don’t need more air time. People already know who those two are. Now a real IU athlete gets his. Be happy for him or don’t be I guess.
 
lol. 2 time World Series champ.
Will Smith, pitching for the Royals. Has a 6.53 ERA and has 3 World Series rings. Couldn't pick him out of a lineup if my life depended on it. Weird stat to choose. If you are going to choose a 2 time all-star, choose Oladipo.

Yeah, you said "they" in response to my statement, where I said "we". Hence why I called it out. People already knowing who they are is the exact reason why it makes sense to have them. There are more notable athletes than a non-HOF baseball player considering the limited college baseball audience. It's not about being happy for him, he is doing fine and good for him! But this isn't a shrine Schwarber day, it's a celebration of IU football. My entire point was we have a chance on a national stage to hype up our program and that is the best we can do. You can try to justify it but it's *yawn* of a pick.

Well maybe IU pushed this one. Maybe those you are pushing said no….i am happy with the selection. I mean he played for IU baseball but was also a good football player that could have played in college. He knows football.

Meh, you are way off base and out on left field. Schwarbs while not an MVP was a valuable piece on both teams. And Vic would have been a fine choice also. This is for us and I could give less than a crap if Betty in Vermont doesn’t know who he is.

"Old billionaires" seem to be quite popular these days. 2M people and half won't know who our guest picker is. To me when its on national TV, you're looking for someone with national recognition. Its that simple. I am certain if I asked my wife or kids who Schwarber is, they won't know. If I ask who Joe Buck or Mark Cuban is, they know. If young was the important criteria, get TJD or Eric Gordon.
If you ask your wife and kids and they don’t know who he is, then you’re not a very good Hoosier fan
 
I’m saying we don’t need the same old dudes getting air time. Is that good enough? Oh and both have been on gameday.


I needed confirmation...but the Red River Shootout games were really the only GameDays I can remember for noon games (3:30 this year, though).

That said...given this setup...I firmly believe the last hour of the show this week, given our noon start, will be either where the Fox setup was last week on the field, or up on the deck behind/next to the band on the north end.
