I don't understand why they wouldn't have it by the stadium

But it’s our first gameday ever. I can’t really complain

I'm not sure there is a good spot

near the stadium that could hold the crowds and not negatively effect the “normal” crowd experience. I full well expect to see a desk between the goal post and Puskar Center.

I was actually pulling for Woodburn Circle (it’s kind of a defining location of the university)

I've seen comments elsewhere

that other schools have had them away from the stadiums too…still disappointing, but as Dynamicduo says…it’s our first one, can’t complain too much

JP you around? LSU -7 at my book, seems like an LSU line. Gave Mississippi St. 3 down there, I’m worried. Talk me off the ledge please.

Haven't Done My Math Yet, ESP....

but that line really does seem a bit high. At night in Morgantown I would think would be worth 4, at least, so they are saying LSU is 11 better than we are. No way. No way around LSU’s O being pretty damned anemic. I would have thought that line would be one of those annoying numbers, like 5.5.

Now is the time boys to make a big noise.

Anybody seen a commercial for the game yet?

There was a Gameday commercial featuring Les Miles and Lee Corso discussing grass, but that’s it so far. Last week, MNF had at least 2 commercials previewing FSU-OU. I was hoping for the same exposure, and if they showed anything, I must have missed it.

Just saw a commercial on Monday night football country.

Ditto...

I have seen three spots on MNF.

Saw 2 after I posted that.

Love the publicity. Lots of talk about WVU/LSU and WVU/SEC on sports talk radio today as well.

Re: location on Lair Plaza

Just did a podcast with the LSU guys from And the Valley Shook and they explained to me that when Gameday comes for football they need almost a football field (or more) worth of space for several sets (couple tv and radio even) and all the equipment needed.

Now the Lair Plaza makes more sense (to me at least).

It Will Still Rock....

Wish I could be there. In fact, I can’t believe I am missing it.

Did you invite PodKATT up to your tailgate?

Last I heard, he was looking for someone with a grill so he could cook some Cajun delicacies.
