Just curious with all the talk about Gameday going to Bosie, etc.

Do you make it a point to watch Gameday? I'll turn it on if I've got nothing else going on, but it's not something I look forward to watching.

Just seems like with so much coverage during the week it's a lot of the same stuff. Personally think it's a bit overhyped.

no....I only watch it if they are at LSU or at venue LSU is playing. Its too long and drawn out to watch fulltime.

No, I am usually too hungover, but I usually wake up right in time for the noon games.

it's too early in the morning to watch it with a hangover.

I usually catch around 30 minutes of it.

I DVR it every week so I can fast forward to them talking about the SEC. I never watch it live unless they're at a Bama game.

I turn it on but mostly for pre-game background noise while I'm getting stuff done and out of the way around the house before kickoff. It's on but I really don't watch it. Especially since Erin Andrews is now on trying to act like she actually contributes. I also hate how everyone refers to each other by initials.

I watch it. It's pretty entertaining. Lee Corso is funny and Herbstreit usually has some pretty decent insight into the matchups.

I stopped.
Fowler, Corso and Herbstreit are too much to take now.

I can't stand watching Rece, Mark May and Lou either.

I used to watch both religiously but when the shows became about them and all of their smart arse takes instead of covering the games it gets old.

Once upon a time, ESPN actually cared about the games now they want to pick the Heisman, rank the teams, select the bowls, influence the non conference matchups, etc.

ESPN has been very good to college football but now its getting extreme and maybe some of that is the changing of media in this day and age.

It starts at 3 am here in Hawaii. It was hard enough getting up for the 6 am Arkansas/Georgia start time. Gameday is a big No.

Still watch it, but liked it more years ago, when was more about breaking down the games..and less about schtick.

Glad they created College Football Live.

Usually not. Get up early and spend the morning trying to get my yard work and household chores out of the way so I can spend the rest of the day and night watching football.

I used to love watching it -- now not so much. seems like it;s gotten pretty cornie/cheapened. the game analysis seems to be off as well.

I'm a morning person so I'm usually up by the time it comes on. I'll watch the beginning just to see whats on the docket, but then usually lose interest pretty fast and watch something else until the noon games start

I don't believe Boise St. plays any teams in the top 25 from here on out. Since VA Tech is now unranked following the embarrassing loss to James Madison, I don't see how in the world Boise St. can stay in the top 10, even if they win out.
