Gameday chooses Wash St over Clemson????
Oct 14, 2018, 3:51 PM
|
|
I'm trying to wrap my head around this one. They choose to go to the battle of the 1 loss teams #12 vs #25 which are both middle in their conference standings instead of the battle of #3 vs #15 undefeated's. Likely the battle for acc Atlantic. That's pure disrespect in my eyes and disrespect to our conference. No wonder ESPN ratings continue to tank. If I'm not mistaken doesn't Clemson always hold the highest ratings for Gameday when they do come to town? I know we owned the loudest crowd once as well.

First time they will have gone to Pullman. Wash St has the flag thingy so they want to give them props, may be there only chance to ever do it.

Pullman is just the cover story. One of the Execs in Bridgeport heard about the billiards in Big Whiskey.

I don't know why anyone is surprised. NC State

carries no name appeal whatsoever, and even as good as we've been, Clemson vs NC State is another regional matchup to ESPN without much national appeal.

Every game Clemson plays has national appeal, because we are in the playoff hunt.
That said, no issue with them going to Pullman. Pretty cool for those fans.
I hope the guy behind having the flag at every Gameday gets to be the guest picker.

NC State puts players in the league. Fact is they put more players in NFL than Clemson this past year. Also have 3 starting NFL QB’s.
The true reason is Desmond being ripped apart by the gameday crowd and signage. That’s the fact, NOBODY cares about losing Pac12 football. Clemson deserves it no matter who the opponent but honestly doesn’t matter. Clemson needs to stay focused and beat the Wuffpack.

Some of you remind me of my 4 year old when we took him to the fair. He got to ride lots of rides, eat lots of junk food, and play games. On the way out he wanted a toy and we told him no. He then started crying about how unfair we were being.
Gameday has been to Clemson how many times in recent years? They even put all that effort into showing the busses come around the stadium for our entrance which was awesome...yet, let them not come when some feel they should and people are crying about being disrespected. Nobody is being disrespected. There are other teams and games out there other than us.

Storyline with the flag and everything is more interesting from a national perspective than NC State.
I have no issue with them choosing to go somewhere new .
Plus we don't need it

It's not just Gameday it is also losing out on the Big Primetime matchup on ABC.
So basically Clemson vs NC State a top 15 matchup with playoffs implications was chosen over by
Washington State vs Oregon - a game with no playoff relevance from the worst conference in the country. Yep even worse than the ACC and...
Ohio State vs Purdue - the Buckeyes in a must watch game with 3-3 Purdue.
It wasn't just one - it was both, and it was a slap in the face.

Wasn't gameday in Oregon? My guess is that they did not want to drive across the country to see NCState get a beatdown in prime time. I best the ESPN execs asked if Philip Rivers was playing... the intern said "no" and so they decided to park the bus in front of Home Depot. If NCState had beaten WVU or anyone (as UVA might be their best win), then I could see them take the NCState ranking seriously. There is a 2-loss team ranked ahead of State as well UCF. As it stands, the Oregon Wazzu game is likely going to be the better game.

No, they were at Michigan for the beatdown of Wisconsin. In other words, this week is a make up call for the screw up last week. No big deal. If anything, it is disrespect for NC State because they are worried that it would be another laugher for game day this week.

“High energy” locations and put the full scope of college football on display, rather than the key game every week. I love it when they come to Clemson but big crowds and excited fan bases are everywhere. Get out to Washington, Iowa, Colorado, Minnesota...it doesn’t have to be the biggest game to have an excited fan base.
