8/5 – First Three Sites for College GameDay Selected

ESPN’s College GameDay will return for its 25th season Saturday, Sept. 3, live from the neutral site of the Cowboy Classic at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, beginning at 9 a.m. ET on ESPNU and from 10-noon on ESPN. In a much anticipated opening weekend game, Oregon will face LSU in the Classic as part of the weekly Saturday Night Football series at 8 p.m. on ABC. The College GameDay set will be located outside the state-of-the art facility. Once again the show will feature host Chris Fowler and analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard during the 10-noon hours on ESPN. Erin Andrews will anchor the first hour on ESPNU at 9 a.m., and contribute reports, interviews and features throughout the latter two hours. Reporter Tom Rinaldi will also provide features on a weekly basis, and new this year, current ESPN analyst and former NFL player David Pollack will join in a contributing role.
