Former ESPN employee Chris “The Bear” Fallica, who spent many years as part of ESPN’s College GameDay presentation, is heavily criticizing the network’s Week 13 destination choice for the popular Saturday morning pregame show.
ESPN announced on Sunday morning that it was heading to Eugene for this Saturday’s titanic Big Ten showdown between USC and Oregon. Both teams are squarely in the mix for a College Football Playoff spot, with the Trojans and Ducks meeting in a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff on CBS.
They’ll be facing off on national TV and with Playoff stakes at an all-time high, so ESPN decided to head back to Eugene, where it also broadcast College GameDay on Oct. 11 in the leadup to Oregon’s huge matchup against Indiana later that day. But Fallica, who left College GameDay to join Fox Sports in 2022, can speak candidly on ESPN’s choices nowadays, and he did just that on Sunday afternoon with a post on his social media account.
Fallica believes that ESPN could have done “something special” this Saturday by heading to a less-known locale for the pregame show. But he was disappointed to find out that ESPN opted to head back to Eugene and back to the big-time stage instead of looking for that lesser-known location.
This surprises me. When I – along with other people no longer there – had an opportunity to do a show like JMU, Montana, DIII or whatever, we would ask "we can do something special or just go to another good game". Usually something special won out. t.co/CGb3ZO5HsS
