GT @ ND Possible Gameday

They've done it AT Notre Dame before . I don't know why retarts keep bringing up the NBC thing as if that's a disqualifier.

I don't know either. NBC has been broadcasting every Notre Dame home game since 1991, and since then Notre Dame has been the host of Gameday 8 times.
 
They've also hosted it at places where the game was on CBS, which probably is much more of a competitor for ESPN/ABC because they air a lot of SEC games. So I don't buy that argument either.
 
From 2001 to now, Notre Dame has played at the site of College Gameday 17 times. 14 times on the road, 2 times at home, & 1 time for the BCS championship.

Maybe it's just a coincidence but it does look like ESPN prefers to follow ND on the road so that they can pump up the night game that will be televised on ABC.

ESPN probably prefers that the game is on ABC/ESPN but that doesn't mean they won't do it in South Bend. Especially when they've done it as recently as 2012. Which, btw, was the year Notre Dame was on 4 times. If they think ND is good they will follow them wherever they go. Especially since Tech has gotten a lot of offseason love, this appears to be the best game that weekend.
 
If I were ABC/ESPN, I'd have to have a really, really compelling reason to visit the site of a game that wasn't on one of my networks. By going there, you are essentially advertising for your competition.
 
The exposure we get from ND Gameday, should we win, would probably carry us to a second gameday given our schedule. And if we got a second gameday, we would be at a peak media exposure for our program in the modern era.

Last year's Gameday schedule, including game broadcasting network:

August 30: #1 Florida State vs. Oklahoma State (Cowboys Classic, Arlington, TX) - ABC
September 6: #7 Michigan State at #3 Oregon - FOX
September 13: Incarnate Word at #1 (FCS) North Dakota State - NBC North Dakota
September 20: #22 Clemson at #1 Florida State - ABC
September 27: Missouri at #14 South Carolina - ESPN
October 4: #3 Alabama at #11 Ole Miss - CBS
October 11: #2 Auburn at #3 Mississippi State - CBS
October 18: #5 Notre Dame at #2 Florida State - ABC
October 25: #3 Ole Miss at #24 LSU - ESPN
November 1: #10 TCU at #20 West Virginia - ABC or ESPNU
November 8: #13 Ohio State at #7 Michigan State - ABC
November 15: #1 Mississippi State at #4 Alabama - CBS
November 22: Yale at #14 (FCS) Harvard - NBC Sports Network
November 29: #15 Auburn at #2 Alabama - ESPN
December 6: #9 Kansas State at #5 Baylor - ESPN

That's 15 weeks, and I don't really count the December 6th KSU and Baylor game because that was like the only game that week. Not counting that game, 6 of 14 Gameday sites were at games NOT broadcast by ABC/ESPN. I see them having no problem being at our game in 2 weeks if they want.

Peel back that onion...

Harvard - Yale - Doesn't Count. No one is watching that New England tickle fight of privilege. Not real ABC/ESPN competition.

Miss St - Bama, Auburn - Miss State, Ole Miss - Bama were on CBS, but ESPN is so far in bed with SEC on ESPN, ESPN2 and SECN that it makes sense.

Incarnate Word - NDSU No one is watching that. Not real competition to ABC/ESPN.

So that leaves 1 real game that was competition to ESPN.
 
IF Gameday came to ND vs GT, and IF we kicked the öööö out of them, we would have the most national exposure and attention that we have had probably ever.

The way ESPN is now saying they are a playoff candidate, and people are all of the sudden in love with ND. I'm getting an adrenaline rush just thinking about this.

Please win this football game

Imagine what it would do for recruiting

I don't think the current coaching staff has the reach. Not saying that's bad because there is plenty of talent where they excel. We do have some reach due to our grads being spread out. We had the inside on Ben Roethlisberger(sp). We used this in basketball with Collier. We can leave the region for the right guy, but we'll never compete for anyone that football takes precedence over education.

Why is this so hard for people to get? HS senior has an offer from, say, UNC and GT. Guy sits down to watch football on Saturday and starts the day off with ESPN game day. Game day talks a bunch about GT and there are GT fans with signs in the back. Then he watches GT beat ND to make it into the Top 10.


How could this not impact said recruit?
 
Because said recruit would be more impressed with gameday atmosphere at GT in person as a prelude to beating the hell out of FSU or UGA. I just don't see a kid being that awfully impressed watching a Notre Dame gameday on TV.

Because we don't have a joke degree.
