OWH ArticleIs the college football barometer of national relevance making its way back to Lincoln, Nebraska? Yes. Maybe. Stay tuned.
Chris Fowler, host of ESPN “College GameDay,” was in Omaha last week as the guest speaker of the Christ the King sports banquet. According to two people who attended the function, Fowler said “GameDay” would be in Lincoln on Sept. 20 when the Miami Hurricanes come to town.
Fowler couldn't be reached for comment, but Keri Potts, ESPN's senior vice president for public relations, responded on Monday that “GameDay” sites aren't selected until the summer or announced until August.
We'll assume that game, then, is on Fowler's wish list. It would be “GameDay's” first trip to Lincoln since the USC game in 2007. Anybody remember that one?
If that happens, ESPN would choose Lincoln over the Clemson at Florida State game. Maybe the names Miami-Nebraska still hold some clout.
