Except that your comment "Based on our 0 - 2 record against Bama I'm glad to see the GameDay boys will be in CO." begs to differ.
"I think Game day was on campus at UF for the 06 game which you missed on your list. They were also on campus this year for us and Florida. Which by your numbers already there makes us 5-4." I know we played at Gainesville. I thought the question asked is what is our record when GameDay shows up to the game. Seeing as the Bama game is away, and the thread is about Game Day not being at that particular game, I would assume that my interpretation of the question is correct. Therefore, my assertion that Gameday was at the UF game in 06 would be a relevant statement in reference to what our record is when Gameday is on location for the LSU game.
Sometimes there are bigger things than College Football Saturday. Of course I am sure that the Gumps don't think there is anything bigger than them.
Glad you ask. I personally think when Bama and LSU get together everything needs to come to a screeming halt. and I mean NOW!!!!
Nice to see Tuscaloosa isn't getting Gameday. I would not enjoy having to watch a sea of Bamatards hooting and hollering behind Corso and Herbie all day. Also, it keeps Baton Rouge in a comfortable lead with 8 Gamedays compared to 5 in Tuscaloosa. That's also nice to see the US Air Force Academy get its 3rd Gameday. West Point has also gotten one.
Look how many graduates of the U.S. Air Force Academy have been astronauts on the space shuttle. USAF Academy graduates even piloted three of the USA's space shuttles for their first flights into space.

Nice photo essay, John !!!...no it's really an incredible salute and testimony to the honor of the USAF. My hats off to all the heroes. My father-in-law was a Naval fighter pilot and he tells me that the NAVY pilots are the ones with Gold wings though !!!:hihi:. That's why the Blue angels are not the best of the best like the Thunderbirds...it's just a regular assignment. Any one of the Navy or Marine pilots are good enough to be in the Blue Angels. (I can't find a single Tulane fan to talk smack with...Sorry all you AF men :grin:.)
