The set of ESPN College GameDay sat in the shadow of Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday morning, surrounded by a sea of crimson-clad fans. The college football preview show traveled to Tuscaloosa for the annual grudge match between Alabama and LSU, which ended in a 38-17 beatdown from the top-ranked Crimson Tide.
The crowd was covered with fan-made signs, consisting of Miley Cyrus references and jokes of the Oregon Ducks’ Thursday night loss to Stanford.
Boston Red Sox pitcher and Mobile native Jake Peavy was the guest picker. He, along with the rest of the GameDay crew, chose correctly and predicted Alabama to defeat the Tigers.
The show concluded with Lee Corso donning a Big Al head and waving his trunk at the camera as “Sweet Home Alabama” played in the background.
