lol. 2 time World Series champ.I said "we" have never had gameday. We certainly want someone who is nationally known. Might as well have Jordan Hulls on.

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.I said "we" have never had gameday. We certainly want someone who is nationally known. Might as well have Jordan Hulls on.
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.lol. 2 time World Series champ.
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.I said “they” don’t need more air time. People already know who those two are. Now a real IU athlete gets his.

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.Yeah, you said "they" in response to my statement, where I said "we".

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.Will Smith, pitching for the Royals. Has a 6.53 ERA and has 3 World Series rings.

If you ask your wife and kids and they don’t know who he is, then you’re not a very good Hoosier fan"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.
By the way, the school doesn’t choose who does the guest picker spot. ESPN chooses with some collaboration.I said "we" have never had gameday. We certainly want someone who is nationally known. Might as well have Jordan Hulls on.
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 think I read they would be moving inside the stadium at 11:30, Tough decision for kids who want to get on Game Day but also good seats for football. Heard some kids are camping out.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.
That was really dumb.If you ask your wife and kids and they don’t know who he is, then you’re not a very good Hoosier fan
No, I'm not. I yawned just listening to you explain your perspective. It makes sense why you like it.Meh, you are way off base and out on left field.

Well to each his own I guess. You are right I am a boring old fart but I am absolutely giddy about all of this. I have been waiting for a long time. Let’s just hope it all goes well. Go Hoosiers!No, I'm not. I yawned just listening to you explain your perspective. It makes sense why you like it.
Where does it hurt? Tell us.Let's tell the whole truth. She's those things and also went public with her criticism of her employer who then suspended her. after that, they couldn't make it work between them so they gave her the heave ho.
Ball boy for the 76 team.Just saw a tik tok from Jon Gruden. Didn’t realize he grew up in Bloomington. Could he be guest ? He’s coming to the game.
Was he trying to say Schwarber isn't recognizable? I'm not going through and trying to find his original post, but if he is....well, he isn't very bright. And not only do I agree about your opinions on Betty, I'm pretty sure she doesn't watch gameday anyway.Meh, you are way off base and out on left field.

Lmao! Yeah, they're clicking to view it because they're thinking, "who the hell is this?"Out of curiosity, to try and get a ballpark read on the broader public reaction to Schwarber, we can look at the number of views each of the nine guest pickers this year have received on GameDay’s guest announcement post on X/Twitter.
In the half a day or so since the announcement, Schwarber's views (1 million+) already exceeded three of them (Dawn Staley, Michael Phelps, Blake Shelton). He'll most likely pass Johnny Manziel today. I can't really predict how many more views are coming, but he'll end up between #3 to #5 out of nine on announcement post views.
Not bad... IU isn't exactly the biggest FB program around to drive views. And the vast majority of the comments are very positive. We seem to be in good shape with our guest picker.
Nope. I said he isn't AS recognizable as the others. I'm not anti-schwarber but most any non-baseball fan wouldn't have a clue who he is. That's just facts.Was he trying to say Schwarber isn't recognizable? I'm not going through and trying to find his original post, but if he is....well, he isn't very bright.

Wrong. He's already 4th in Likes out of the nine guests, and it hasn't even been a full day yet since he was announced. People like the pick.Lmao! Yeah, they're clicking to view it because they're thinking, "who the hell is this?"
IU has a lot of alumni, my guy. Bama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Clemson...etc., couldn't care less about their gameday or picker, that's just called a Saturday to them. Your logic is flawed.Wrong. He's already 4th in Likes out of the nine guests, and it hasn't even been a full day yet since he was announced. People like the pick.
I've got the data, you're making stuff up -- like those huge FB fanbases don't follow every detail of what's going on.IU has a lot of alumni, my guy.

Cry some more. Yeesh. It was not the best pick, its that simple.I've got the data, you're making stuff up -- like those huge FB fanbases don't follow every detail of what's going on.
Thanks for crapping all over a thread on one of the most positive events to happen to IUFB.
ESPN isn’t in the business of just randomly picking guys. They like ratings too. I’m still not understanding this emotional response from you. If they thought or could’ve gotten those other two then they would have.Cry some more. Yeesh. It was not the best pick, its that simple.
Not emotional, just speaking facts. I'm sorry this is so offensive to you. You'll get over it.ESPN isn’t in the business of just randomly picking guys. They like ratings too.
