Browsing: ESPN College GameDay

I’ll be the first to tell you I was one of the more than seven million pseudo-fans cheering on Colorado against then-No. 17 TCU during the most-watched college football telecast of week one. But now, four weeks into the season, I’m torn between the underdog tale and the frustrating hype for what is quite possibly nothing more than an average football team.

Over two weeks after Baylor’s epic 50-48 victory over TCU, the Bears finally return to the football field to face Stephen F. Austin at 6 p.m. Saturday in Floyd Casey Stadium.

When Baylor and Texas tip off at 8 p.m. Saturday, head coach Scott Drew will watch from the bench knowing the importance of the game on several levels. “I don’t know if there’s ever been a bigger regular season college game in Baylor’s school history,” Drew said. “[ESPN’s] College GameDay is as big as it gets. It’s obviously a much-needed game for us win-wise.”

ESPN College GameDay is coming to Baylor. The show will include two hours of live coverage starting at 9 a.m. on ESPNU and continuing from 10 to 11 a.m. on ESPN. The Ferrell Center will open at 7 a.m.
