AUSTIN, Texas — For the third time in program history and first since the 2008-09 season, The University of Texas and the Frank Erwin Center will play host to ESPN's College GameDay Covered by State Farm. The one-hour morning show will be live from the Erwin Center from 10-11 a.m. Central, followed by an evening edition leading into the Texas-Oklahoma telecast. The Texas-OU game will tip at 5:15 p.m. Central, and the game will be televised nationally by ESPN.
Admission to all UT students and the general public for the morning telecast is FREE. Fans will be allowed into the Erwin Center beginning at 8:30 a.m. through Entrances A, B and C on the concourse level. General admission seating will allow fans to fill sections directly behind the GameDay set location.
Fans who attend the morning show broadcast will be permitted to stay, free of charge, for the Texas-TCU women's basketball game, which will begin at Noon Central. Fans will be moved to general-admission seating areas in the lower arena after the show concludes at 11 a.m. Central, allowing season and single-game women's basketball ticket holders to access their reserved seats for the Texas-TCU game.
Additional information regarding parking, UT student shuttle schedules and promotional activities will be announced next week.
College GameDay Covered by State Farm is hosted by Rece Davis, with analysts Jay Bilas, Seth Greenberg and Jay Williams. Dan Shulman, Bilas and reporter Maria Taylor will have the call of the Texas-Oklahoma Saturday Primetime presented by AT&T matchup.
