I am speachless...that was embarassing. Honestly, they should be ashamed about that on so many levels. "Nothing but the party!" being screamed over and over at the end sealed it, but it was beyond ridiculous from begining to end.
Note: I am referring to the theme song, video montage start to College Gamenight. I'm sure it's been on before, but I saw it for the first time tonight after the ND-Nova game and before the OKST-TX game.

You mean you don't like how they work Digger and Reece's names into the song? I thought that was SOOOOOOOOO classy!
Almost as bad as that stupid hick country crap they play before GameDay for college football. "WE'RE COMIN'... TO YO' CITAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!"
Yeah, "AND THAT SONG.... IS REALLY AAAAAAAAAAAAY!!"

But look on the bright side - dooky v is going away (for now) and Erin Andrews will appear soon.
Also, nothing says Mountain Dew like a Phil Collins song.

Oh c'mon, nobody is going to mention the "Jay Bilas will satisfy you" line in that song? That is the scariest moment of the show.
And the show itself is pretty terrible also. The difference between College Gameday for CFB and Gameday for CBB is that not everyone on the CFB edition is a moron.

Fowler is a better host than Rece Davis, but Davis is not terrible. Digger is a bit silly, but not as dumb as Corso. Bilas and Herbstreit both do a nice job. It is the unbearable presence of Vitale that makes the basketball show worse than the football show. That and the traveling set is a little ridiculous for a basketball show- you don't have the same sort of tailgate atmosphere around hoops. And of course the songs for both shows are awful.

I'll let other folks opine rather than analyze this with any depth, but I think Herbstreit does a much better job than Bilas. The traveling is even more ridiculous because they do the show from inside the gym. What usually happens in a college gym 11 hours before the featured team tips off? That's right, kids, nothing! College Gameday CFB is a good show because it captures the energy of the pregame crowd. College Gameday CBB tries to create energy that otherwise wouldn't exist. |

I was trying to find the MP3 for this but I only came up with the CFB version. No "Lee Corso is going to have his way with you" line in this one...

Btw, I like how Digger's tie matches his highlighter - that's the sort of attention to detail you get when you don't have a real job to focus on.

Commentator banter during the final two minutes of the 1st half in the Nova/Louisville game:
"Well, it's pretty disturbing for Rick Patino to look at [Villanova's 4 starting gaurd's] numbers"
"Yes, but what is even more disturbing is that Digger's highlighter does not exactly match his tie tonight..."
