Programs that Should Be Hosting College Gameday

 Now that we have a Normal Offseason, I feel there should be a starboard of programs that actually should be hosting College Gameday for the First Time or have an incentive to get their Stadium Situation straightened out to where it would be easier to host College Gameday. I would feel there would be a 2021 Seasons worth of 1st Time Hosts or having to get out of the way of hosting.

1. SMU Mustangs. SMU has been covered once and I would find it be cathartic to have SMU actually host in Dallas as opposed to the Red River Shootout or AT and T Stadium.

2. UNLV Rebels. Not just Las Vegas, but, UNLV Rebels in Las Vegas because this has to be a situation where you have to marry the City and the Program.

3. Northern Illinois Huskies. NIU has been featured once, at their expense and at Bowling Green, and I feel I should rectify it by having NIU at DeKalb.

4. Northern Iowa Panthers. Northern Iowa is recriminally jilted, even now, even as other Programs became Powerhouses and Champions around them and in College Gameday's 35 Season History, they have not visited Northeast Iowa and I do not want it to be a Student Section Mentality because it is too easy.

5. Drake Bulldogs. I do think ESPN Producers love nothing more than Historic Stadiums and we have not had College Gameday in Iowa's Political Capital the same as Iowa or Iowa State.

6. Illinois Illini. How is it that the Home of the State Championship and the Same Field that Red Grange once galloped on has not hosted a Single Fall College Gameday? This has to be the Tractors of the Eastern Illinois Community roaring about its rightful place in Sports being nixed.

7. Syracuse Orange. Even though the Carrier Dome has been one of the 1st Winter College Gameday Hosts and they owe a lot of their Campus and Community to ESPN and it is a shock even with McNabb, they have not gotten College Gameday in Syracuse.

8.San Diego State Aztecs. Even though I do not agree with San Diego State being the Aztecs, or even with the fact San Diego is neglected Post-Chargers, and I feel that wrong need to be repaired, but, I feel they'd need to explore San Diego State if the Cocktail Party or the 13 Year War Goes Stale.

9. Fresno State Bulldogs. San Jose State nearly went undefeated, but, no Program stirred the pot on different major's instabilities than Fresno State.

10. San Jose State Spartans. I teased San Jose State in Fresno State's Post, but, I feel that Cal is not quite a Proper Powerhouse and I don't think the Women in ESPN want weird questions over Stanford like it is College's "Father of Mine" as opposed to a legit, real deal, No Shane Hmiel, Powerhouse.

11. Mount Union Purple Raiders. Even though Iowa Division III is Superior compared to the Rest of the Country and we have had Division III on College Gameday Before, but, no ABC/ESPN Dial, I feel we should correct that with both with Mount Union.

12.Hawaii Warriors. I am going to throw a Trump Card that should be appropriately used as in having Hawaii actually host College Gameday, even though Aloha Stadium is closer to its Senior Year.

13. Morningside Mustangs. Altough not in the NCAA, I feel Sioux City should get a chance to host College Gameday and the High School Sports Hotbed of Western Iowa, which I do not take or say lightly at all.

14. Northwest Missouri State Bearcats. Northwest Missouri State has contributed to the quality of Adults and Young Adults Regionally and I feel when a true Small School makes College Gameday, it has to be a marquee program or a program that has had an outsized footprint.

15. Grand View Vikings. Also not in the NCAA, and the upstart in both College Football and Wrestling, I feel Drake should play at Grand View at Football and it would be a major Publicity Boost to Des Moines Public Schools.

16. Central Dutch. While on a tangent and a Home Run, I could say Luther or Grinnell or Cornell College or even Simpson College or Coe or Wartburg, but Central is Iowa's Lone NCAA Football Champion Historically and I feel College Gameday on the Square in Pella would be a feather in their cap.

17. Iowa Western Reivers. Even though they didn't sell their soul to Netflix like a bad bar, I feel the Reivers would have something that a lot of these programs don't have is character and College Gameday in the Bluffs City would be tremendous.

18. Grambling Tigers. We have plenty of splash and hype hires, but, I would want to explore College Gameday to actually be at Eddie Robinson Stadium grounds for the first time.

19. Miami (OH) RedHawks. College Gameday at the Cradle of Coaches has not been done and not only that, they have not been a rider or Road Team in College Gameday's Visits.

20. Saint Ambrose Bees. We are riding into the Midnight Rider Territory of the Programs that should be hosting College Gameday, but the Quad City Area has never had a College Gameday Host on either side of the River and again with the Home Run Mentality, which would be tremendous.

21.Illinois State Redbirds. This is the Home and the Home Territories of State Farm, Allstate and the People's Illinois High School Association, among others and it would be a coup for Amateur Sports if Illinois State hosted College Gameday.

I could ramble on about Duke or Georgia Southern, even Tulane in the French Quarter and not the Bayou Classic or LSU or the Sugar Bowl, which the first regrettably happened in Houston and Not New Orleans, but, I feel having to cover everyone in College from Division I FBS to NAIA to Junior College even was fair in the form of every week.
