Cowbells or Country.

Supposedly Will Ferrell wanted to do it, but has a scheduling conflict.

Brantley Gilbert is playing at the fair Saturday night.

What y'all think?

I'd just assume never host game day again.

As would I. Seems there's more concern over who the guest picker will be than the game. I don't care who we use. Hell, I say we use horatio Webster, if it helps us with Malik newman (half an *)

There isn't "more concern".. It's just a topic on which everyone can have an opinion and there's a little mystery. Kinda like the uniform threads.

I'm underwhelmed. Mississippi hit a home run with their guest picker. I'd like to think we could do more than a bunt single.

There was more than a little luck in that homerun though. Katy perry just happened to be in memphis. Kinda like Wes rea hitting a double and the of'er falling down and allowing Wes to stretch it to an in the parker

Brantley Gilbert would be the worst

Aren't they supposed to have some sort of tie to the school? I do not want The Weeks but I get it because they are from MS.

And Will Ferrell would be cool because of the cowbell deal. But not some random *** country singer just because he is playing near Starkville.

At least he looks 17n SICK though

True. But we need to at least get someone that people have heard of. Jerry Rice or Robin Roberts would be outstanding choices if they're available.

Her manager is an Ole Miss grad, at least according to some girl who attempted to explain why Katy Perry was on my television screen.

This guy would be a major buzzkill.

She was not quoted as saying he would be the one, the radio stationed assumed BG due to him playing at the fair.

Faith Hill

Not sure if there's a MSU connection but star power...still. I would prefer Robin Roberts though.

Brantley Gilbert has absolutely no ties to MSU. Surely there is at least one celebrity who has one small tie to Mississippi who could be the guest picker. If they put someone up there with no ties to Mississippi, they could do a lot better than some flash in the pan country singer. That's just stupid.

I hadn't thought of Robin Roberts until yesterday.

That would be super.

My top 3 in no order - Robin Roberts, Faith Hill, Morgan Freeman

Hey,

What do I know? I thought it looked completely staged ... and 'crashed and burned' pretty bad. USA Today daid ... "Katy Perry's guest segment on 'College GameDay' was super awkward"

Guess if they were simply trying to look completely inane, they succeeded. Again, their words ... "Singer Katy Perry, attending her first college game, served as the guest picker on College GameDay Saturday, and her segment was easily the most absurd thing on ESPN this week.

The Weeks seem to have started the campaign to be on the show themselves. Weak. Like the ugly girl asking dudes to prom.

Never heard of him...

Ive heard of Gilbert Gottfried, Ive heard of Jeff Brantley, Ive heard of Gilbert and Sullivan, but ive never heard of Brantley Gilbert....and neither has 99% of the country. I dont care if he has 10,000 connections to MSU.

How many articles have you seen for any other guest picker on Gameday? Can you even name a guest picker from a previous show? There were also several articles saying how great the segment was. Regardless, it was all over the internet which just generated more publicity for Gameday in Oxford. Getting some random country singer would be a huge buzzkill and wouldn't generate any pub at all.

Twitter followers:

Gilbert -- 911.9k
The weeks -- 12.1k
Faith hill -- 614.3k
Robin Roberts -- 921.5k

I'm not saying Gilbert is a good choice, but he's hardly a nobody.

BTW Katy perry has 57.9m followers. She has 10 million more than TOPUS! We aren't topping her...

You really think we can land a guy who's playing the fair?**

If our guest picker really is a country singer, I'm going to be sick.
