I was going to start a new thread with this question but I wont.
Are Iowa Fans on game day as rabid as they once were?
Don't think of those 2 big wins the last few years...but think of an average conference home game or a bowl game
Gameday = Dick Vitale.
Once held the country's sporting interest. Once mattered. Once was must see and must get TV.
No longer.
I don't want my 90s back.
I would agree with you as far as how it mattered to myself and now not so much. It seems as though the crowds that still go to those deals week in and week out may counter our feelings on it to a degree and I have no clue how their ratings are on TV. If they were to cut back an hour of it or so I think that would be a tell tail sign of it not doing well in that regard but for it to be on as many hours as it is seems to suggest of all the ESPN programing that that's doing just fine...Gameday = Dick Vitale.

Rece Davis is the Ryan Seacrest of college sports and Lee Corso has so much dementia it’s only a matter of time before he starts walking around with one shoe on and throwing poop at Herbie and Desmond Howard. He’s literally lost every single marble and ESPN just keeps on parading him out there like a sideshow. Hell, there are animal cruelty laws stricter than what they put Corso through.
Gameday has been such a shitshow for the last 10 years that it’s not even fun to watch anymore. I don’t even want them in Iowa City because you know every host (other than Herbstreit, maybe) is going to laugh about the Hawks not having a prayer (which they don’t) and Corso will whip out some big stupid Badger mask in front of a 1/3 full Krause Family Plaza. Students don’t even fill their section the way it is, you think they’re going to show up for some TV show before the game that only upper middle-aged guys like us even know what it is?
