GameDay in Ames next week.

Iowa Corn and Hyvee will pull some strings and now that Indy Car will return to Iowa in 2022, go ahead and have famous Indy Car driver and defending Indy 500 Champ Helio Castroneves as the Celeb Guest Picker!!
 
Guest picker will be Allan Jackson who is at Wells Fargo arena that night and had the hit “Where were you when the world stopped turning?” after the 9/11 attack. It will be their way of still pulling in a 9/11 presence.

Niang will be a segment as he will be in Ames on Friday for autographs at Fareway Meat Market but he will not be guest picker.

My two cents

I think the guest picker should be Jefferson White, aka Jimmy from the show Yellowstone. He’s an ISU grad and an Iowa native (Mt Vernon). Plus the Yellowstone series seems to really be a hit.
 
Sure hope the visiting locker room gets redecorated with yellow construction paper by Saturday morning. Heard the Iowa football program really likes yellow construction paper.

I did not know that..thanks for that info at least. Even tho I haven't watched Yellowstone, that's interesting. Its it worth me trying to get Paramount to watch it?
 
Cmon. Woodys character, Roy Munson, was the 1978 Iowa State bowling champion. Bill was just a hustler from unknown areas.

It was 1979, but that's not important right now. Bill Murray should be the celebrity picker.

Does anyone remember what time they opened the grass lots two years ago?

I think it's a good series. But I guess it depends what you like. Season 4 will be released November 7th.

There's also a prequel being made called "1883". Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill will be in it. It's based on the Dutton family that started the Yellowstone ranch.
 
Alan Jackson has a concert Saturday at Wells Fargo arena at 7. Good chance he is the guest picker.
 
Is there a reason why so many think it has to be a country singer? Is it because of the Iowa thing? Is that a Gameday thing (I don’t watch it, so I’m not sure if it became their schtick or something.)

Wild stab, seems like something the network assumes would appeal to every person who lives in Iowa, used to live in Iowa, has visited Iowa or non-fans who would watch CyHawk game.

20th anniversary of 9/11 is next Saturday. I could definitely see the picker being something that would involve that.
 
Hawks complaining about all-black uniforms is about the dumbest **** I’ve ever seen. You’re right Hawks, NO ONE does all-black uniforms if they don’t already have it as a primary school color.

It’s about the dumbest, most narcissistic, and self-obsessed thing to assume that ISU requested black alternates as a way to be JUST like Iowa! ISU’s commits, who hail from all over the country, tried to attract the attention of Kirk Ferentz and the University of Iowa, failed, and then decided to go to their back-up where they could dress up JUST LIKE A HAWKEYE.
