Cow Costume-Clad Character Continues Clowning Around College GameDay, Also There's Pot & Rape Jokes
Crowds outside Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa have been growing since ESPN set up its College GameDay camp early in preparation of Saturday night's matchup between #1 LSU and #2 Alabama.

ESPN's College GameDay Is Starting Early In Tuscaloosa—And So Are The Students
College GameDay has made the rare trip to the location of a non-ESPN television game, though it would be ridiculous for them to be anywhere but Tuscaloosa for Saturday night's match between #1 LSU and #2 Alabama (on CBS).

Last week, The New York Times reported that three ESPN College GameDay anchors — Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, and Lee Corso — have had shoe contracts with Nike.

College Football Roundup Week 5: The Saga of Destroyed College Gameday Signs
Each week more signs appear behind the stage at ESPN's College Gameday.
