Are you going to College Game Day (or anywhere near the stadium), or are you staying far away? What are you doing to prepare - have you made signs or shirts, are you body painting? Who is your favorite sportscaster on CGD?
 
Going to Gameday and tailgating for a little bit but will watch the game from home. I don't have any signs but if tomorrow is anything like College Basketball Gameday we hosted, signs will not be an issue in the slightest. Even though he definitely isn't the same as the 2000s, Lee is still my favorite!
 
We are in C1 but want a good spot so we are planning to be there right at opening tomorrow. Thus we are staying with family in Ankeny tonight so we don't have to make the drive from CR in the morning. Plan to walk up for a bit of CGD but not worried about prime spots. More to be part of the experience and what not.

My feeling today... LET'S ******* GO!!!!!!!!! Stupid work

I'll be watching from home. I normally don't watch all of it but I probably will tomorrow as I try to clean my apartment.

I still like Corso; I think he's still entertaining. I also like Herbstreit. I think he's a good commentator and analyst and I think most of his takes are fair. I also don't think he's normally an ******* (excluding his comments about campbell).

Not leaving home...going to have a neighborhood "tailgate" in the driveway with some Busch Latte's.

I purposely avoid all locales where there may be more than 10 Hok fans present.
 
I might wander over as my curiosity will likely get the best of me. Just plan on lurking to check out the insanity and see how it's all set up, then jet.

I planned on going just to tailgate until Gameday was announced. Now I want to watch it all from home and avoid the like 100,000 people that will be in Ames.
 
I looked up plane tickets after Gameday was announced but at over $800 a piece, we will be watching from home.
 
My company is having a tail gate and provided tickets for the employees and a guest. Won't get there until after Gameday is over with though.

I'll be tailgating on the north side and won't change a thing. I'm actually dreading seeing black & gold...normally pass on this game.

So does Kirk fly from Ames to wherever he's doing the commentary?
 
Going to be parking when they open the lots at 5am. Probably will walk over to the gameday area shortly after that just to see it in person then go back to the tailgate lot and get our dish setup in time to watch it while we tailgate. It's going to be nuts around that area, if this was 20 years ago when I was in college I'd be there as soon as possible to get in line for the pit but now I think I'll enjoy it more just watching it on TV. That's a lot of time to commit and by the time they go off air at 11 you really only get a few hours to tailgate after that before packing up to go into the game.
