ESPN’s College Gameday is setting up on the LSU Parade Grounds. That’s where they’ll broadcast a three-hour pregame show tomorrow morning, prior to tomorrow night’s LSU-Ole Miss game. How big will the two defenses play tomorrow.

Other games of note tomorrow….Louisiana Tech is at Southern Miss, ULM hosts Texas State and Southeastern Louisiana is at Stephen F Austin.

The words “Never Give Up” are on the bottom.
