There are several thoughts here. These are what I've seen on other sites, some are much less likely than others.

Last time it was Darius Rucker. I don't remember the other guys.

Darius, again.

Bill McNair (that would be fun, talk about drafting Clowney last year and his 3 Gamecocks on his roster.)

Bill Murray - He did Gameday last year though at clemson, for the fsu beatdown, hahah. Not likely for this Gameday, IMO.

Ric Flair - I would love to watch this.

Connor Shaw - Maybe, would be awesome, but I don't know if they'll pick him for the national spotlight. He's the best QB on in the Brown's organization, but even they don't want to get him on TV yet.

Kenny Chesney - Just made The Believer documentary, but he's a tenn fann.

Steve Tanneyhill - I only listed it b/c I saw it twice on another site....

Kate Upton - Would watch, and record.

Esteban Garcia - This could be good, why not.

Kyle Carpenter - This makes sense, he just got to lead the cheer during our opening game, so maybe not, but his name is known right now.

Some names I think, but haven't been mentioned.

John Abraham - just retired from the NFL, Pro Bowler, one of SC's greatest players ever. Has national name recognition.

Ansari Aziz - funny comedian, would be a hoot. Guy from Parks and Recreation show, nationally known.

Marty Simpson - This could happen too.

Stephen Colbert - This would be awesome.

Clowney - He's not playing Sunday.

Deandre McDaniels - I would bring him on just to ask him about Dabo's Zero Tolerance policy about hitting women.










Someone on another site said Earnhardt Jr, but he's racing in Dover on Saturday at 3:30, so that's not going to happen...unless they video him in, but I doubt they'll do that.

Of the ones you listed, I'd be willing to bet it would be one of Aziz Ansari, Colbert, or Carpenter.

My guess it'll be Carpenter. There are no logistics to work out, as he's already on campus.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't Carpenter

I'd love to see Aziz do it though

I feel like "Go Home" signs are greatly under appreciated.

I thought the "Go Home, Yankees" and "No Meth Here, Go Home Mizzou" signs on the Gameday Sign Suggestion thread were great.

I'd just like to reiterate my displeasure with the Chesney choice, especially after reading that he will perform a song during the broadcast.

frick this shite. I went to Russell House during the Te'o segment in 2012 because I didn't want to listen to that shite (I was very happy to hear she was fake) but if my sign is "Go Home Chesney", I'll feel obligate to hold my sign up while hes playing

On a side note I think my buddy is gonna hold up a sign that says "We Want Hootie". We thought it was the better compliment than "This Isn't Knoxville". What do yall think?

I think it's a capital idea.

ESPN really screwed the pooch on this one. We all know he's a Vols fan; why in the purple hell is he on our campus, for our game? He's going to say something hokey like, "I pull for Steve every game but one, against my Vols," or some shite.

There are plenty of people that you could have had here that were actual USC fans/alumni. To reach out of state and get Kenny f'n Chesney is insulting to the university.

So does anyone know if the university has any pull in this or is it 100% dictated by espn?
