I have only been to two games this year. Neither with students. I have heard the original guy that made the sign passed away. Anyone know if the big head of Georges is still around. Both games i went to were non student games. I think Georges has been slumping because big Georges is not around the last couple games.

It took them a while to bring him out last year. Maybe the first conference game with students back?

You know that building by the hill in between Hilton and Jack Trice? I was leaving a women's game last year and I saw the big Georges in the top window of the building. This was after he had passed away.

Do you mean the Alumni Center? Newer building built just a few years ago.

A friend of the original owner just posted on the event page. He has contacted one of the guys that has Big Georges now to see if they will be bringing him.

Update: The friend of the original owner says that we can expect to see Big Georges this semester. I asked if this meant GameDay as well, but he hasn't replied yet. Hoping so. Big Georges behind the GameDay set would be epic.

Does your friend just have it at his house or something? I feel like they should just sell it to Cyclone Alley?

I don't personally know any of them. We've just been making a push on the College GameDay event page to have his friends bring Big Georges out of retirement.

We're working on getting a hold of someone who might be able to bring Big Georges to GameDay.
Uhh Im his supervisor, no seriously I am. The sign still remains in Ames. He is getting daily tweets.
