Part of the reason our record is so bad when hosting gameday is because it only comes to College Station when A&M is good/pretty good and a #1-ranked type team is coming in.

It's not like we are 1-10 in games where we were favored 8 or 9 times.

My post from another thread:

I tried to Google home games with GameDay on campus and only came up with 9 games. And we were 1-8 in those games.
  • 7 of those we were playing a team ranked above us
  • 3 times we played a ranked team while we were unranked
  • 5 times we were playing a team ranked 1, 2 or 3.
In games were we were the higher ranked team we were 1-1, beating #9 Tenn (we were #8), and losing to #7 Colorado (we were #3).

Average loss was 5.6 pts. Largest loss (twice) by 10 points.

1995 Colorado game was in Boulder, not CS.

Pretty crazy this is the third time an Elko team gets gameday in only two years and we only had it 7 other times the previous 30 years

Really goes to show how much he is elevating our program and brand

Where are people seeing gameday will be in CS? On Herbie's podcast he said Gameday will be in Norman and call that game then he, Reece, and Holly will fly to CS to call our game.


Someone should let espn know

Sean McDonough, Greg McElroy and McGrath will call the CFP First Round game Saturday at noon alongside Taylor McGregor,

Thanks for posting the full list.
We were likely favored against Colorado and maybe against Tennessee, but in all the rest we were certainly underdogs. Saying we are horrible when game day shows up is a loaded statistic. It's not some curse.

It actually shows that we aren't considered the main attraction and only get gameday when a bigger dog comes to town.

Good point. I'd say it shows both.
