Whether or not they are Rose Bowl bound, there is no doubt that the No.1 Michigan Wolverines are drawing national attention. For the second time this season, ESPN's GameDay crew will visit Ann Arbor for a live broadcast beginning at 11 a.m.
With the Florida-Florida State game also a vital piece of the national championship picture, ESPN is splitting time between Ann Arbor and Gainesville, Fla. GameDay's No. 1 team of Lee Corso, Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit will set up shop outside of Gate 12 on the Southwest corner of Michigan Stadium.
The crew returns to Ann Arbor, where all three commentators said they were verbally and physically abused by rowdy and rude Michigan fans. Herbstreit is a former Ohio State quarterback and Corso coached at Indiana.
GameDay has appeared at Michigan games three times this season - against Colorado for Michigan's home opener and two weeks ago at Penn State. GameDay spurned Michigan's matchup with Notre Dame partially because the crew had no desire to return to Ann Arbor.
