ESPN’s College GameDay broadcast live from the University of Oregon campus early Saturday morning. With some students waiting more than 10 hours to secure a spot near the front of the stage, the Memorial Quad exploded with Oregon fans, some Arizona State fans and a scattering of Washington State supporters when the program went on the air. The broadcast lasted from 6 a.m. until 9 a.m. with the conclusion of sportscaster Lee Corso putting on Puddles head to officially predict Oregon as the winner of tonight’s Oregon, Arizona State match-up at Autzen Stadium. The game tonight is scheduled to start at 7:15 PT.
