Nothing says “big game” more than a visit from ESPN College Football Gameday (CDT). The pre-game program will broadcast from campus this Saturday. The game is a 7:45 telecast on ESPN. The last time Gameday was here was 1999 season opener for the Pigskin Classic vs. Arizona. Also, ESPN2’s Cold Pizza is being broadcast from Happy Valley on Friday morning. They were here last year prior to the 6 – 4 debacle. Hopefully, by then Jim Bowden will be working for them again. Do they still have the “wild and unpredictable” hostess?

Hungover Penn State students rejoice — the Oct. 15 trip to Michigan will have a regional 3:30 p.m. ABC telecast. We will not know if it is broadcasting in D.C. for a while though. We also know that Illinois game is a 7 p.m. broadcast on ESPN 2. Penn State has only played at noon twice thus far.
