GameDay just hit the airwaves on ESPN and so far the crowd is looking pretty good in Williamstown, Mass. I must admit to not being much of a GameDay watcher in the past couple of years. As I’ve traveled to more and more Division III games, I don’t exactly find myself in front of a television at 10 a.m. ET on a Saturday. This is only the third weekend of 11 that I’ve spent at home, and I’m only doing that because I have to be at the airport at a little after 3 p.m. to get to ESPNU.
Just showed highlights of Mount Union. Chris Fowler pronounced Monon Bell correctly. ESPN graphic missed the hyphen on Hampden-Sydney.
I’ll be virtually channel surfing between the big games today and watching for teams to clinch, etc.
Can’t believe my eyes, GameDay at a D3 game. Did I see correct that the D2 selection show was at the same time as ours on the same channel? Our we having to share 30 minutes to announce the playoffs? Hope I am wrong, both division deserve their own time.
Unfortunately, this is true. Not sure how we’re going to do in 12 minutes what we usually do in about 20.
ESPN is also doing game breaks to Williams-Amherst during the Wisconsin-Michigan game.
