The show will air for three hours from 8-11 a.m. CT previewing Texas' Big 12 showdown with TCU at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium (6:30 p.m. CT/ABC). It will take place on the LBJ Lawn on the northeast corner of Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The crowd pit will open at 5:30 a.m. and the first 500 fans will get FREE Whataburger Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits and FREE Red Bull!
Including seven visits to the AT&T Red River Showdown and four neutral site appearances, it will mark the 20th time the GameDay set and its show will be a prominent fixture at a Texas game. The last time was this year's tightly contested 20-19 defeat to No. 1 Alabama on Sept. 10. That GameDay show was a highly-watched program that produced some of the best viewership numbers in its history.
