And College GameDay heads back to the West Coast on Saturday, heading to the Stanford campus in Palo Alto, CA for the first time. Having been to the campus, it’s a lovely area. Going to be a bit dark for the start of the show, however.
College GameDay to Visit Stanford for First Time
ESPN’s Emmy Award-winning College GameDay will originate from Palo Alto, Calif., on Saturday, Nov. 12, from its second straight top-10 matchup – this week featuring No. 7 Oregon at No. 4 Stanford (8 p.m., ABC). The GameDay set will be located at “the Oval” on Stanford’s campus. The weekly show airs at 9-10 a.m. on ESPNU and 10 a.m.-noon on ESPN.
Stanford will host College GameDay for the first time, and will mark its second appearance this season and third all time. Oregon is appearing for the third time this season, and 14th overall.
That’s it.
