Went to game day last time it was here. I thought it sucked. They never interacted with the crowd or did anything to entertain. It was basically just people cheering for a camera. Total waste of time.

This. Waited a long time for Gameday to come even though we always had some good teams and when they finally did it was the most anti climactic thing ever

Good. Now we have some semblance of hope we can win without that waste of time distraction.
But to be Devil's Advocate for a moment, WMU going 12-0 is a bigger story than us having one loss and OU having two duking it out for a possible three way tie after next Saturday.

WVU 0-2 when game day is here. Don't care for it anymore. It's time has past. Try something new ESPN

It doesn't bother me that Game Day is going to WMU.

But I am happy that our game is the 8 O'clock game on ABC.

Seriously .... choosing between Game Day and the ABC 8:00 pm game is a no-brainer.

Well, ESPN has already told the committee to not select a Big 12 school and a two loss Michigan or Ohio State is much better for ratings for the playoff.......
could not agree more. Would ESPN pass up any other P5 top 10 matchup this late in the season that has a huge impact on conference championship for a Western MeChicken?
We all know the answer, Hell no

I agree with many of the posters that I personally do not care if Gameday comes to Morgantown or not. But I do not believe for one minute that WMU, undefeated or not, playing against Buffalo is a better story than two top ten, Big 12 teams playing each other late in the season. If it is a bigger story it is because ESPN wants it to be and are doing everything they can to make it that way.

Neither is any North Dakota State game, but Gameday went there. They're trying to branch out to different schools (I know this season's SEC tour smacks that premise in the face), or "the little guys," as it were, and WMU has a chance to go 12-0. Our game against OU won't determine anything but our essential elimination from the conference race. Had Baylor not fallen off the map and we not crapped the bed in Stillwater, that game would have had implications. I'd say if any Big XII game gets Gameday this year, it'll be Bedlam if we once again lose to OU.
