ESPN College GameDay

Winner of six Emmy Awards, ESPN College GameDay Built by the Home Depot is college football's longest-running and most-celebrated pregame show. It  is hosted by Rece Davis, who is joined by analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and David Pollack, as well as contributors Chris "The Bear" Fallica, Jen Lada, Samantha Ponder, Tom Rinaldi, George Whitfield and Gene Wojciechowski. It concludes with a prediction segment, after which Corso dons the mascot's headgear of the team he predicts will win the game—usually to the ire or excitement of local fans.

É«É«À² is the second Mid-American Conference school ever to be featured on College GameDay. The show originated from Bowling Green Oct. 25, 2003, when it defeated Northern Illinois. Northern Illinois' leading receiver that day was current É«É«À² head coach P.J. Fleck.
