AUSTIN, Texas -- When it comes to college football, television exposure has a significant impact on everything from recruiting, to national rankings, to national awards.Longhorn fans will once again have the unique opportunity to be a part of some of that exposure as ESPN's College GameDay broadcast is set to make its second appearance in Austin this weekend to cover the No. 13 Texas versus No. 16 Kansas State game.
The last time the show was broadcast from Austin, it attracted thousands of Longhorn faithful to Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium prior to the Texas-Nebraska game in 1999. No. 18 Texas upset No. 3 Nebraska 24-20 that day and went on to claim the Big 12 South Division Championship.
For those fans who are not familiar with it, since 1993 College GameDay, television's definitive and comprehensive college football studio show, has traveled most weeks on college Saturday's to the day's big game and has been met by large and enthusiastic crowds.The one-hour program with host Chris Fowler and analysts Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit airs live on ESPN each Saturday at 9:30 a.m. (Central). The show covers all college football angles, issues and game previews.
