Michigan Wolverines

One of the all-time greats will return to Ann Arbor on Saturday to serve as guest picker for ESPN's College Gameday. 

Here are some other noteworthy items for College Gameday via ESPN's official press release:

  • Acting Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore will join College GameDay for a second straight week, along with Ohio State head coach Ryan Day will make a return appearance for the second time this season during Saturday’s show. Brian Kelly will join remotely from Tiger Stadium ahead of LSU’s clash with Texas A&M.
  • Guest Picker – Michigan great and current Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson makes his return to Ann Arbor as the Week 13 guest picker. Two years ago in Ann Arbor, Hutchinson helped key a 45-27 Michigan win over the Buckeyes, snapping a nine-year losing streak.
  • Pat McAfee’s Kicking Contest – GameDay will once again offer an exclusive contest during the live show, Pat McAfee’s Kicking Contest. One fan will be chosen from the ‘pit’ onsite with the opportunity to attempt a 33-yard field goal. If the contestant successfully completes the kick, he/she will be awarded $100,000 from McAfee. Full details, including official rules, can be found here.
  • 300 for Ol’ Crimson – Washington State’s Ol’ Crimson flag will celebrate its 300th consecutive College GameDay show. The tradition started when Wazzu fan Tom Pounds first waved the flag behind the set on October 4, 2003. No matter where GameDay travels, Ol’ Crimson has remained a constant now for 20 years.

Additional guests will be announced ahead of Saturday’s show on ESPN PR’s Twitter and College GameDay’s Twitter.

Features:

  • The Kick 6 at 10– Ten years ago one of the greatest plays in the history of college football unfolded at Jordan Hare Stadium in Auburn. Before Alabama and Auburn renew their Iron Bowl rivalry, a look back at the Kick 6 through the eyes of those who lived it, and at the lives that one play changed forever. Ryan McGee reports.
  • Keep Showing Up– For as long as he could remember, Washington’s Zion Tupuola-Fetui’s biggest fan was his father. From pregame speeches to motivational texts, Zion’s dad always wanted one thing: a strip-sack fumble. Just days after his life unexpectedly changed, Zion found the perfect way to honor his late-father one night at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Jen Lada reports.
  • Triple Coverage– As Michigan heads into its biggest game of the season, three of the team’s leaders – Blake Corum, J.J. McCarthy and Mike Sainristil – sit with GameDay’s own Michigan legend Desmond Howard to discuss ‘The Game’, their last time in the Big House together and their roller coaster of a season.
  • Rivalry Week– It’s always about emotion, pride and bragging rights, but this year it’s also about teams leaving conferences, one last shot at a longtime foe, playoff positions and Heisman ramifications. It’s rivalry week – good old-fashioned hate, that we all love to see. Ryan McGee reports.
