College GameDay was held at Syracuse yesterday for the big-time showdown between The Cuse and Villanova. I was hoping that a monster crowd would show up and surpass Kentucky’s GameDay record set a couple weeks ago, but it didn’t happen. There was still a solid crowd in attendance though. If you were at GameDay and you have pictures of signs we don’t have here, let us know so we can post them!
Digger went with a yellow tie/highlighter combination this week for those of you that pay attention to that odd sort of thing. The Syracuse student who shot the half-court shot for a scholarship missed pretty badly. That makes fifteen straight shows with a miss, and Duke and North Carolina remain the only schools to ever have someone make the shot. On to the signs!
We get started with one of our favorite sign themes, co-eds begging parents for money for some random occurrence that they don’t want to spend money on themselves:
"Dad - send $ 4 Spring Break"
There were a ton (yes, a ton) of E.S.P.N. signs that said something with Syracuse on the S, and Nova on the N. We’ll spare you from 99.9% of them because they all basically said the same thing:
"E.S.P.N. - Eat Syracuse Pulp Nova"
"E.S.P.N. - Crowd, Help Syracuse Punish Nova!"
"E.S.P.N. - Everyone in Syracuse Pitties Nova"
This sign/costume combo is just AMAZING. Boeheim was so GQ in the 80′s:
"I'm with Jim"
The majority of you will have no clue what this next sign means, so head over to Urban Dictionary to figure it out. Is it just me, or does Andy Rautins look like he came straight out of the “My New Haircut” videos?
"Not now chief, I'm in the 2-3 zone!"
Every week on GameDay there are the huge cardboard head signs in the crowd, and this week was no different. You had all the GameDay guys, Jim Brown, Carmelo Anthony, Rautins, and this guy? Who the hell is this guy?
For some reason I don’t think Carmelo has any eligibility left…maybe if the Cuse goes out and hires Calipari they could make it work though (low blow I know, sue me):
"Carmelo: One more year!"
There always has to be someone to embarrass themselves on national TV:
Our favorite signs every week are the ones that include the GameDay crew. This young lady is proposing to Bobby Knight…why do I get the feeling that he would be grumpy and angry if he read the sign in person (not great quality but had to post it anyway)?:
"Bobby Knight, will you marry me"
My personal favorite for the best sign of the day:
"Digger: Dance with our cheerleaders"
This guy was mad Digger went with yellow instead of orange, and we don’t blame him!:
"Digger, where's your orange tie??!!"
Speaking of Digger’s accessory selection, here he is in all his glory. Leave a comment below and caption this picture:
"Hey buddy, don't worry about what color my tie is!"
Another week, another Erin Andrews sighting, and whatdya know…she tried to kiss me again for the third time this year!
Be sure to vote in the poll below for your favorite sign. At the end of the season we will have a tournament of all the best signs. If you haven’t voted for last week you can do so HERE. As of right now “Rece – Wear my Snuggie”
is in the lead.
Next week College GameDay will be at Duke to watch the Blue Devils take on North Carolina, and we will be back with all the signs. I believe this is the last broadcast of the year…if you’re going to be there let us know!
