Guest Picker for Gameday

[LadyVolette]

I didn’t know that Samuel L Jackson was a Vol fan.. just looked it up.. and he is! So now he is even more cool

 

[Holys#!tVol1979]

Uhhhh wuuuttt?

I think he would be entertaining sitting up there during that segment!

 

[2EastTnVols]

Wonder if Mike Honcho is busy this weekend?

 

[MaxVolnGA]

Or Tony V

 

[OrangeTsar]

Jack Hannah? He knows to handle Gators

Tennessee football vs. Florida: 15 best celebrity guest picker options for College GameDay

I'd be ok with anybody on this list except Swift and Ballerini. Samuel L. would be an absolute coup. Like the article says, Gameday is obviously ok with a little language slip-ups with Corso over the years lol.

Johnny Knoxville has been my pick, I feel like that has an opportunity to be a blast

 

[OrangeTsar]

How about Nashville‘s own LynnMarie?

 

[clarencepeabody]

Christina Hendricks was born in Knoxville! Could we be so lucky?

Has it been announced? Where, or how does one find out?

 

[Vol524]

Knowing ESPN, they may get Spurrier to guest pick. JMHO

Bring on the…

I agree. We are talking about the overall perception of the program etc. Trot out random country guy in a flannel shirt and cowboy hat and it is the same old "just a bunch of hillbillies". Dolly is the only country artist that transcends that. Peyton has scalps on the wall, is entertaining, and they see him on tv all the time. Somebody like Bianca Belair is 100% hype and entertainment. It's not for the recruits on campus so much, because they probably won't be watching. I would assume they would get to meet her, and they would MUCH more want to meet her than some flannel bro. Imagine them tweeting out pictures with her pre-game to their audiences and fellow players/recruits. Having her as guest picker makes people at home...those recruits that aren't there see her on tv or see her on Twitter on the set with those guys. Obviously a guest picker on Gameday isn't going to make somebody commit or not. It simply is a way to change the narrative and perception about the program.

A country artist vs a WWE rassler


And we are arguing which will be perceived better?

Too funny

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

We have a vn rasslin thread in the pub and she's been mentioned twice this year. Not seeing the impact

Fixed it

If Dolly, it would be for a few seconds by remote. Samuel L. I don't think they could afford the MF. Watch it be someone else not even mentioned yet, we've not thought of, but yet right in front of us.

Fulmer and him did it here in 2016, so he is out.

 

[Franklinco55]

Who do you think the guest picker will be for gameday this Saturday? I've been trying to think of a good one but really can't come up with one other than I'd like to see Bill Dance lol

Luke Combs?

 

[OLEVOLFAN]

Luke Combs?

He was on last week for App St. It won't be him

He grew up in Chatt. Was not born there but family moved when he was young so he has Tn ties. He would be a great picker and would pick the Vols.

He claims Atlanta more than Chattanooga

That's disappointing. Wikipedia just said he grew up in Chatt but didn't give any yrs. I looked it up because I always thought he was born in Chatt to. Said he was born in DC.

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

Herbstreit is a TN resident. Maybe they go cheap and get him.

He’s spotted around town every now and then when visiting family but I’ve never heard him speak fondly of Chattanooga.

I'm telling you guys...Dobbs

Samuel L. would be EPIC...they could even do a NSFW version to post on-line.
"I said faster's better MF - GO VOLS !!!" HAHAHAHAAA

ESPN doesn't give a damn about boosting our recruiting. They only care about ratings. Dolly would boost ratings.

You are about the only one I’ve noticed mentioning Dolly Parton nearly every post. Outside of East TN, I don’t believe anyone would be excited about her. Heck, I know I don’t and I’m from here. I’m 32 and I can almost guarantee you everyone younger than me would be disappointed. Which is majority of the College Gameday attendees. Just my two cents.
