How are its ratings these days? Up? Down? Ceding ground to Big Noon kickoff? I honestly do not know.

I admire Herbstreit's loyalty to Corso. Without any inside knowledge, I'm fairly certain someone at Game Day said "Lee stays as long as he wants," and I'd imagine that someone is Herbstreit.

But yeah, Coach Corso helped build the iconic brand, but it's struggle watching him most weeks, even in a diminished role.

Their staff isn't getting younger, hence McAfee. I personally like a Des, Herbstreit, Pollock, Saban, Davis lineup, but these guys fit with my demographic. I'm not sure they pull in 20-35 year olds the same way. Hence McAfee.

I get the move of including Pat. Despite his stupid soaking obsession, I don't hate him like much of the board. I don't necessarily predict doom and gloom for Game Day--it's only competition just looks like traditional Game Day lite. But it'll be interesting. McAfee constitutes a calculated risk. We'll see how it pays off long term.
