College GameDay coming to Boone

[ladypanther]

Would love to go to Boone for this..I am 45 min away...but will be a traffic nightmare.  I can only imagine what it was like for the UNC game.  The roads in that area not designed for this stuff.

Country singer Luke Combs, who attended App State, will serve as the guest picker. 

Quote

The show decided to go to Boone because App State is the story of the week in college football,” "GameDay" producer Drew Gallagher said. “Of all the games and possible sites for the show on Saturday, App State’s current relevance as a giant killer combined with a passionate, college football-crazed fan base made the decision a no-brainer.

One day I will move back to the Boone area and live off the side of a mountain.  My time in Boone was the most favorite, fun times of my life.  fuging love that place. 

Was born there, spent a big part of my life there, just a really tough place to make a living.

It must make you mad that someone else is having fun and getting recognition. Must be sad to not want anyone else to be happy

Perfect week for Game Day to go to Boone as this weeks schedule is lackluster to say the least.

Its a shame that App isn’t playing JMU, Coastal, or Marshall this week; those games would have been pretty interesting. I have a feeling that App blows out Troy.

Check out goggle maps, it shows the traffic and a life saver for time.

This is awesome for Boone but you couldn't drag me to Boone tomorrow with an 18 wheeler and a logging chain. I'll be waist deep in either the South Toe or Wilson Creek, haven't decided on which.

Yeah it would be great if I still lived in that area but there's no chance in hell I'm going up there and trying to arrange lodging and everything else and I sure as fug wouldn't go up and try and leave the same day. Talk about nightmare traffic
