Scattershooting Clemson, GameDay, and The Iron Skillet

It seems crazy now, but there used to be a time when Saturday mornings weren’t filled with Zing Zang and Ting Tang, bro-country guest pickers, thousands of people holding up signs, and nobody was slapping a mascot’s head on to pick the winner of a game. ESPN’s College GameDay wasn’t anything like it’s current form 25 years ago. My freshman year at A&M, it was just Chris Fowler hosting a studio show to discuss the day’s games with Lee Corso and Craig James, because this was before the interwebs took over and CJK5H. During that time, nobody intentionally woke up early on Saturdays to make sure and tune in to ESPN’s College GameDay.
