Haha, sorry about that. I should have put a disclaimer in my post
No need. In hindsight, some of her work is actually quite astounding. I mean she really is very hard worker and really gets after it.
You could argue that our rivalry is even better because we don't have to share our fandom with NFL and NBA teams. People who know the national scene appreciate the special-ness of the ISU/EIU rivalry. GameDay would be a way to help it be more well-known.
Rece Davis asked in an Athletic article about where he would like to do Gameday from:
3. I asked Davis what college football venues he’d like to go to for “College GameDay”: “First, let me say something about Pullman (Washington, which GameDay went to for the first time in 2018),” he said. “I love doing this job and I hope they let me do it for a long time. If it were just about crowd experience and finding the perfect venue for a show to create energy and excitement and a certain emotion for one particular show, I should have retired immediately after Pullman. Every other venue in some way will forever be playing for second.
“That said, there are two places that leap to mind. I have never seen a football game in Lincoln, Nebraska. I have seen college basketball there and called Nebraska games but all road games. I would love to take the show to Nebraska. The other one is a place where the show has never been is Ames, Iowa. I have called games at Jack Trice Stadium so I have been there and know the city. Those are the two places I hope we can go one day.”

I would be 100% on board with Kurt Warner as guest picker if they did choose that weekend. He's an Iowan, an NFL HOF'er, done NFL analysis and studio shows and unbiased as far as the rivalry goes. If he picked the hawkeyes, it's because he thinks they'll win, not because he's more of a fan of theirs over us.
God, just no. A purple hawk with an ax to grind against a team that didn't recruit him.
The "Iowan" stuff is nonsense. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell what Chris errrrrrr Ashton Kutcher has to say about ISU nor Tom Arnold.
Sage is the answer.
Celebrity picker with Iowa ties and Iowa State Alumni........ Chris Soules?

While the Iowa game isn't at the top of my list to pop our Game Day cherry, you sort of have to look at it like getting the NCAA's to Des Moines. We had to bite the bullet and sponsor the first go around, but once the committee got to see how great of a location DM is, they came back two years later. I view this in the same vein. Or like how drug dealers give you the first taste for free. They know you'll come back for more.
