    FOR IMMEDIATE USE Sept. 23, 2007

    EUGENE – ESPN College GameDay has confirmed it will produce its weekly college football preview show from the University of Oregon Saturday morning preceding the Ducks’ home game vs. California.

    Kickoff for the football game, which will be televised regionally by ABC on ESPN, will be 12:30 p.m. (PDT).

    The premier college football pre-game show, which has aired weekly on ESPN since its inception in 1989, features hosts Chris Fowler, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit, and will air live from 7 a.m.-9 a.m. (PDT). The show began producing the telecast from college campuses around the country in 1993.

    Details surrounding the exact site of the production will be released early this week, with the general public encouraged to be part of the production free of charge.

    It will mark the second Eugene appearance for the show, which includes features, predictions and highlights of some of this week’s top games from around the country, and the third time the Ducks have played a role in the network’s award-winning college football preview show. The production’s last Oregon appearance occurred in 2000 when it made its first-ever appearance in the Pacific Northwest on Sept. 23 prior to the Oregon-UCLA game.

    Oregon and UCLA also were featured in 1998 when the show originated from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

    that's going to be a damn good game.

    but it's probably a regional telecast so we won't get to see it down here but rather be subjected to nebraska or some other mediocre team.

    Actually, you'll be getting Kansas State vs Texas. Of course, IMO, those are two mediocre teams

    Yeah, you should get the Ball State game if you want a REAL team.

    Thanks. It's always funny to see a team who lost to a Sun Belt school talk smack on a team that struggled but still beat a MAC school.

    I guess you lost the irony of someone bagging on a top 10 school when what happened to his team this weekend. Sorry, I forgot you are a slow reader, so I will type slower next time. Go play with snoopy.

    Since you like to give English lessons, your first sentence has the misusage of a adverb as well as misusage of a preposition. It should read: "I guess you missed the irony of someone who bragged about having a top 10 school after what happened to his own team this weekend. (even with corrections it still makes little sense. There is no irony and it is just an all around dull comeback)

    Actually, there's nothing ironic about it. It might quite possibly be an example of hypocrisy, but not irony.

    'Irony' is one of the most often misused words in our language.

    Irony
    Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs

    'or Troy' is a sentence fragment.

    You're right. I wasn't trying to write perfectly, but since you have taken it upon yourself to degrade my english abilities, I felt it was necessary to show you how to correctly use adverbs and prepositional phrases. It just so happens that one of my two majors in undergrad was English; so I hope you remember to cross your t's and dot your i's and lower case j's.

    By the way, Go Ducks. I need them to win in order to keep the outside shot of tOSU getting into the BCS Championship Game. (save your comments, I know we got killed last year and probably would again this year)

    I believe that was you that started being the grammar nazi. Don't open a can of worms if you ain't ready to snarf down a few. Take your red pen to that one, Miss Polly Prissy Pants.
