College Gameday To Air From Final Four, Have Eight Analysts
Tuesday, April 01, 2008
Add the Final Four to ESPN's ever growing practice of having a ridiculous amount of people covering a game they aren't even airing. The network will air College Gameday from San Antonio on both Saturday and Monday, and they seem to be getting everyone involved....
ESPN will televise two editions of College GameDay: a one-hour episode Saturday, April 5 at noon previewing the National Semifinal matchups and a 90-minute Championship preview Monday, April 7 at 7:30 p.m. Both programs will originate from the SportsCenter at the Final Four set and feature Rece Davis and analysts Knight, Phelps, Vitale, Bilas, Hubert Davis, Lavin and Gottlieb.I didn't think they made desks that big. I mean the one for Football's College Gameday is pieced together every weekend and that only sits three. Anyway, that's not all the coverage you'll be getting from the "Leader". Here's the rest....
* ESPN: Daily on-site SportsCenter reports Friday, April 4 to Monday, April 7; two episodes of College GameDay, including a 90-minute pre-Championship show at 7:30 p.m. ET; and analysis between National Semifinal games and halftime of the Championship.(Via ESPN)

My thoughts exactly, Brett.
Apparently TK and Wilbon should have been on soaps rather than Mike & Mike, because these guys can act.
How about less Knight and more Tom Brennan???
That was actually a pretty good April Fools joke. I'll post it in a few.
PTI 1st topic >>>>> Hilary's bowling challenge
Did anyone else think of "The Naked Gun"?
"Hello! I'm Curt Gowdy, along with Jim Palmer, Tim McCarver, Dick Vitale, Mel Allen, Dick Enberg and Dr Joyce Brothers.
Usually when ESPN isn't airing a certain game, they don't even acknowledge that it's happening.
