ESPN Game = Exposure

[HerdBot]

In case you've been living under a tree, the game on Saturday will be on ESPN. It's not ESPN2, ESPNU, or ESPN9. It's the big ESPN. What does that mean? Games on regular ESPN draw much better, typically between 1.5 to 2 million viewers which is more than the FCS Championship game so this is a big time opportunity to showcase what Bison football is all about.

How can we help?

1) Follow the color code, this is a gold out game so wear yellow. It looks kick ass on TV.
2) Get your ESPN signs out or flags.
3) Get off your asses and make some noise. (let's make it SOUND awesome on ESPN)
4) In the unlikely event it's a blowout, don't leave early.
5) Go all out tailgating. If ESPN gets some camera shots of the tailgating lot, do we want it to look empty? Hell no (it's going to be warm anyway)
6) Be there for the intro and download the Bison Tracker app. Looks awesome on TV and they always show it.

Finally. .
Apparently there will be 19000 gold poms like they do at sec games. Sounds weird but youll get it when you see the video below

[Honeybooboo]

I'm pretty sure with the 11am kickoff tailgating will be the diehards and that's it

maybe Im wrong but...

So, a nearly full lot then?

[HerdBot]

Maybe I'll break out the old cheerleader costume too. Heck I'm secure in my sexuality so hell yeah go pom poms! (they are intimidating)

In all seriousness - that should look pretty kick ass on TV ! Can't wait to see it. If the sec can do it... Shit the Big 10 does it.

I brought a green and gold pom pom to the 2011 championship game. I think I got it at one of the Bison-Whioux watch parties in olden days.

Pom poms would make the first down cheer look pretty sweet if everyone used them.

That's a kick ass idea!!

Pfft. How about 19000 star wars style yellow light sabers?

[BisonTeacher]

Whenever I hear the term "exposure" why do I think of Izzy in a trenchcoat?

IM guessing ESPN would love that.!

[DjKyRo]

ESPN won't know what hit them!

Aye yai yai!

Ideas like the poms or towels fail because they are purchased seprate from tickets. We bought towels one time for 5 and the next time 10. Poms are cheap enough to have them set on the seats or handed out at the doors. At our ticket prices this could be done.

These are free I assume. If not it will be a failure

[walknroehl]

Yes they are free according to the fb post

Prediction poms go flying on the field.... remeber the glow stick give away like 4 years ago... that did not go well....

[SamsRams]

We need to start an email campaign as everyone doesnt have cable and this whatever ESPN stands for crap that everyone cant get.

Already taken care of I emailed the president we are going to be broadcast live on national TV simulcast on all 4 major networks.

I bet they wont weigh enough to throw 10 yards

[SoCalBison]

And please don't throw them at the officials, no matter how bad they are (which will have to be better than last week). [Part of this is purple...I'll let you figure out which part.]

Nice thing about the 11am kickoff on ESPN is that it immediately follows the ESPN College Game Day broadcast. That alone should add quite a few casual viewers.

Is there gameday in bowl season? I didn't think there was....

[gumby013]

It's only a two hour Gameday this week. There is an hour gap between them and us.

[bri-dog]

My guide shows a 2-hour GameDay followed by SportsCenter, then our game...


Edit: Too slow

[T-Funk]

It's only a two hour Gameday this week. There is an hour gap between them and us.

Thanks. I didn't realize they're only doing a two hour show this week.

[Bison03]

I'm guessing they will pick our game. Hard to think any of them will pick the Chandeliers....I mean Chandlerbings....I mean Chantforbeers....or..whatever they call themselves; the teal chickens, whatever.

[IzzyFlexion]

They will likely talk it up and go live to the west lot at least once.* If you fruitcakes really want me to go with the"flasher trench coat" motif.........................well, be careful what you wish for.

*PREDICTION:
Fowler: "We're gonna switch to a live look at the tailgate lot outside of the FD where some hardcore reveling Bison fans await their 11 o'clock kickoff in today's QF round of the FCS playoffs vs the Ball-Chinians of CC. Lee, that flasher fella might wanna borrow yer "High Plains Pimp" Bison coat."
