Big Noon Saturday just DETHRONED Gameday!! - IWokeUpLikeThis - 12-03-2019 12:59 AM

Was Big Noon on just 1 hour on Saturday? Asking for a friend.

Doesn't ESPiN get the game next year. Will wait to see what happens next year.

I thought it was a "jump the shark" moment for ESPN Gameday when they showed up at the exact same location as Fox... for a game that was broadcast by Fox. Dumb!
ESPN Gameday has lost their way, IMO. They miss opportunities to promote their own games while sometimes promoting games on other networks (CBS, NBC and Fox). Is there some contractual reason why they must do that? Otherwise, I can't imagine why they'd want to... just for a big crowd? That would be very short-sighted!

I think Gameday found their replacement for Corso in McAfee. I think this year will finally be it.
I have no problem with the venue choices generally for GameDay. Gameday is about ALL of college football, not an infomercial for the Fox game coming up. HUGE difference.

Was Big Noon taking down Gameday the biggest upset of the CFB season?

I think we all know Gameday has a bias for Disney games. If two games are of equal importance and one is on a Disney channel and the other not, Gameday will usually show up for the Disney game.
But they don't always do so, and IMO that is totally to their credit. Not something to criticize them for.
For example, this week they are going to the SEC title game, which is on CBS, not a Disney game. Good for Gameday!
FOX will be at the B1G title game, televised on FOX. Bad, because like it or not, the SEC game is the bigger game.
Also, I think it was smart for ESPN to do Gameday from Ohio State vs Penn State. ESPN has a big chunk of the B1G package themselves, so it would be dumb of them to cede that territory totally to FOX, creating the impression that the B1G is FOX territory entirely.

Wow. That's good news for Fox. Never thought I'd see that happen.

CBS has the SEC. Fox has the Big 12, Pac-12, and in other sports the Big East. ABC and ESPN channels show every P5 conference. Even if Gameday goes to a site of a game on another channel, that site could host a game on ABC or an ESPN channel shortly before or after. Fox wouldn't go to an SEC stadium because Fox won't ever have a game there.

Fox needs to persuade the Big Ten to let them have a new Michigan-Ohio State game at noon ET every Saturday.

I said the same thing.

They could move gameday to ABC and crush.
RE: Big Noon Saturday just DETHRONED Gameday!! - stever20 - 12-03-2019 01:18 PM
I think ABC/ESPN are going to be a LOT different choosing Big Ten weeks next season....

It's funny how appreciate everything ESPN has done for college football. I also hate a lot of what ESPN has created for college football.
Happy for the "Big Noon Kickoff Show". I enjoy it and I'm happy to have something new to watch.

Agreed, but I hope they let Corso contribute as long as he can because we're losing those links to the larger-than-life personalities of the last generation like Madden and Berman and Keith Jackson. Even if it's a pretape segment they can rehearse, reshoot and edit as needed.

Probably an unpopular opinion but Ive never cared for him. I find him annoying.

yeah. I think it's awesome what ESPN did bringing back Primetime on ESPN+ with Berman.

Same with McAfee.

Yes.
I don't get ESPN with my cable package, so I only watch the network games and the ESPN+ games. I've watched Big Noon Saturday multiple times this year because I get FOX. I've watched Gameday 0 times this year because I do not get ESPN. Put it on ABC and suddenly I (and many others) have a choice.

Fox, as the winning bidder on the first tranche of B1G TV rights, gets the first choice of weeks in which it makes the first choice of games. This should generally be OSU-Michigan week, but they could always change their mind if they felt another matchup would be more advantageous.
