wow

are the slate of games that bad this week? must be

Auburn is not good. They lost to a decent but not very good LSU and then should have lost to Tennessee, but for that terrible QB/RB exchange with Crompton and Foster giving Auburn the TD.

Vandy has beaten Miami (OH), Rice, Ole Miss, and South Carolina? And the SC and Ole Miss games were close.

ESPN should have stayed in Bristol this week. Although, having been to Nashville for a night before heading to Knoxville in 2006, I can't blame them for wanting to make the trip. I know I'd go.

How can a team be decent and not very good? STFU you gibbering cum-drunk fuckwit.

Any better games this weekend?

Yes, but not many.

If the Corn hadn't gone and shit down their leg against Va. Tech, GameDay would be setting up shop in Lincoln.

Still the place to be, imo.

Is it?

Maybe some of the GameDay producers/powers are country music fans.

Hey, I think it's kinda cool they're giving Vandy some recognition. They'll probably never be back. Seriously...does anybody give a shit about Gameday anyway?

I just think the other two games are better, more exciting matchups...fwiw.

It's somewhere new. The Vandy fans will be ion full froth and put on a good show. Plus, when will they have another chance to go there?

Good point. Nashville is a good time.

Let's also remember ESPN signed a gazillion dollar contract with the SEC so you think they are not going to go to any and every SEC game they can...

Dudley Field is on campus and there's some fun campus area bars, live music venues and campus-y restaurants in the immediate area just east of the Vandy campus. Downtown Nashville has revitalized quite a bit in the last decade or more.

additionally, for the actual "Game Day" staging there will tons of fans of other SEC teams--as Nashville is a hub in that part of the South. be a lot of Tennessee fans, too. They won't have to worry about numbers or "atmosphere".

And one Washington State fan.

Madison’s a great place to be, but I agree with the idea that Nashville might be a once in a lifetime shot. Badger fans are pretty juiced by the 11:00 AM (CST) start times. By 7:00 PM they’ll be a fucking hot mess.

I mean, I'm sure the bars will be busier Saturday, but...

the Parthenon isn't on the Vandy campus; though, it is nearby. It's in a city park.
