Also, WVU's home loss to LSU has to really help out the odds of KU-ISU being picked for Gameday instead of WVU-UT

Take this for what it's worth but.. my gf has a side gig for a marketing company for events and she just got a request to fill "ESPN College Gameday" for January 17th in Ames.

This goes against the thought that ESPN picks the gameday that week, so I'm not sure what's really going on...

I've been to a lot of huge games at Hilton but I have a feeling this could be right up there in the top 5 when you combine the hype and rage that will be going into that night...

I have to pay a guy to wait in line for me, which is ridiculous because I won't be in Ames tommorow. Why can't they just make a women's game the spot you get for the KU game?

Sorry I don't know if it is worded poorly or I am just an idiot, probably the latter. But I have no idea what you are saying here. I get the end of the thought process is we are getting game day, but what does a request to fill espn college gameday mean? What are they filling? Hilton? Wouldn't the ISU AD marketing dept do that?

I think what he meant is ESPN College Gameday has a time slot that has to be filled, so they are going to Hilton

I wouldn't read too much into it at this point. They probably have to book some of that in advance despite the late decision point. I wouldn't be surprised if they are able to put down a deposit with the agreement that the deposit will transfer to a future event if the Game Day event goes away this time.

I hope you revealing this doesn't get your GF in trouble with her employer and the client.

They probably sent the same request to every location being considered. You can't literally just roll a national broadcast into town with no prep work done.

Doubt you get a ticket then, the amount of people camping will multiply today and then add the people who will get in line early Saturday morning. You'd be very lucky to just show up at noon and get a ticket

Then I get reimbursed. Which has never happened. I don't think people will get turned away.
