Last weekend I had the amazing opportunity to attend the Alabama-LSU game in Bryant Denny Stadium (thank you Brandi, Craig, Bonnie and Keri). This was the most watched sporting event on CBS in the past 22 years!! And it was a battle! However, prior to the game, Brandi and I woke up at 7 AM in order to be on set at ESPN College Gameday. Thanks to a few connections, we were able to get up close and personal with the crew and get some fantastic images!
The following image is of the beautiful crimson and gray flag waving in the background. The WSU flag has been waving in the background at College Gameday every Saturday for the past 5 or 6 years (I could be a little off on my stats). Anyhow, I went to Wazzu, so this was a big highlight for me to see my people (more images below). Here is a cute ESPN promo video of the flag: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjvGUJRCuPg
Ryan Leaf (former NFL Quarterback and QB of the WSU Cougs) was in town to wave the infamous flag, but also to promote his new book 596 Switch, which is about the road to the ’98 Rose Bowl (and what a ride it was!). He even has a few good stories about Steve inside, so pick up your copy on Amazon.
Two of the beautiful gals who made this week happen…Keri and Brandi!! Thank you ladies! You rock…’til we meet again at the next mexican restaurant! :-)
So, every College Gameday, Lee Corso puts on a mascot head of who he think will will the game. I thought I would be cool and try and take a picture of the head before anyone else could see it. NOT A CHANCE! They have that thing on lock-down. I don’t even think the crew knows what it is going to be!
And, this just floored me…I came all the way to Tuscaloosa, AL to watch a football game and I got to see my people! Love it! GO COUGS!! (Megan and Snyder, the Griz flag pic is for you!)
My images don’t end there! I will put up another post soon with images from the University of Alabama, the game and my day-trip to Nashville after the game!
