Columbus

September 11th-12th

ESPNU Road Trip – The Ohio State University

This weekend I worked on a new show. So new, it’s the very first episode.

The premise is an inside look at what students and fans do leading up to game day. AND a behind the scenes look into ESPNs College Game Day.


Friday was fun – I didn’t have a lot of graphics to build, so I made a bunch of signs to pass out to the crowd to hold during College Game Day and the Road Trip show.

Thanks to all my friends who sent me suggestions for sign ideas!

I also wandered around the College Game Day compound as it was right next to ours. Very cool!

Saturday morning came fast!
Our crew call was at 4am – ugh! But the show started at 9a, so it made sense. Still getting up at 2:30am is never an easy task.

It’s amazing that the fans are so into College Game Day that they arrive the night before to line up for front row standing room only spots!

The area inside the gates is for the crowd


The light blue box is air conditioning being pumped up under the set so the guys don’t get too hot under all the lights

After my show, College Game Day began. I wish I could of stayed a while and watched. But I had a flight to catch. Am going to spend a few days with my Madison in Florida.
