Although I haven't been regular viewer of the pregames for quite a while (as I mentioned), in general for those who watch, it might be cool to get one that isn't CyHawk, for a change of pace.
It makes sense it's going to be that, since that stretch in September has almost no P4 rivalry games, and ISU hasn't been a major national contender during most seasons to get, say, a mid-October slot against a conference opponent AND not conflicting with big-name matchups from B10/SEC.

Yeah...I get that! Like another said...they serve as background noise for me mostly...
I don't know if I recall specifically his reaction (that's the 2021 show, correct?) .... quick web search I don't find anything, so just curious.
99% of the time, announced time = "on-air" time
"11:00" game = 11:02-11:10
"2:30" game = 2:35-2:45
"6:00" game = 6:05-6:10
yeah I'd bet Oklahoma State/Oregon is going to be either a CBS or NBC game....BYU/Stanford is probably getting the late kick off on ESPN if I had to bet....8 PM local kick for them, 9 for us
No inside info, but my guess would be that Ashton Kutcher was a big piece of that production.
Yep but I do recall a lot of compliants every week due to the BNK kickoff time compared the ESPN game that follows Gameday. Typically Gameday will go right into the teams on the field for kickoff as opposed to BNK having an additional 10-15 minutes of pregame after their pregame show.
In interviews after the fact (potentially a year or two after) I remember him specifically talking about the second one and how ESPN didn't communicate with him their plan at all he was pissed about it.
Is Iowa State the only GameDay host that guest-picker picked the opponent to win? I can't imagine it happening more than once, to boot, but I have no idea.
Yeah, the picks turned out correct, but it isn't a question of accuracy.

No we are the only one to have the guest pick the opponent but we pare probably the only host school that has ever the guest picker be directly associated the opponent.
I switched after a lifetime on GDay because I can't stand Pat McAfee. I know a lot of people like him but he absolutely ruins the show for me. IN MY OPINION, he's way too loud, boisterous, narcissistic, and focuses on the wrong things. I could put up with things like them keeping Corso on like Weekend at Bernie's but PM is just a downright tool in my opinion. Reminds me of the Rogan nutjob.
If that were somehow to happen, I would do very, very bad things to my TV. And I don't mean in a fun "you've been a bad girl" way. That would be the ultimate kick in the nuts and show of disrespect, far topping Kutcher.Probably have CC as their guest picker!
Only acceptable choices:
Purdy
Tyrese
Breece
Montgomery
TJ
McCarney
If none of them are available, put a ******* cardboard cutout of one of them up there.
Good list.
For 2019, McCarney seemed like such a dependable choice. Has the Fry-tree tie so it connects both programs, obviously knows the rivalry from the inside, would make ISU his pick and he's engaging and passionate. Not like he's averse to that type of spotlight, "personality"-wise. Maybe he was considered for it, but was unable to commit, I have no clue how the process works.
Maybe he wouldn't be the go-to at this point, but considering it in retrospect.
Schedule/timing would have to mesh for Purdy/Breece/DM.
