Longhorns fans will once again have the opportunity to be a part of the ESPN College GameDay experience, as the show is set to cover the team for the fourth time in the last two seasons and the 12th time in its history when No. 2 Texas hosts Texas Tech on Saturday.
Like last year’s trip to Austin, the set will be located on the south side of the UT Tower with the broadcast beginning at 9 a.m. Central. More details on the show's set up will be available soon.
Overall, Texas is 7-4 with the GameDay crew in attendance. It has visited Austin on five occasions, including the 2005 game against Red Raiders when No. 2 Texas defeated No. 10 Texas Tech, 52-17. It was also on hand in 2008 when No. 1 Texas defeated No. 11 Missouri, 56-31; 2006 when No. 1 Ohio State defeated No. 2 Texas, 24-7; 2003 when No. 13 Texas defeated No. 16 Kansas State, 24-20; and 1999 when No. 18 Texas upset No. 3 Nebraska, also by the score of 24-20.
This year will mark the 16th consecutive season College GameDay will originate from the site of the day's best game (generally announced the Monday before the game). Chris Fowler hosts the popular Saturday morning show with analysts Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit.
