Legendary Tigers Take Center Stage: 5 Iconic LSU Alumni Who Could Electrify ‘College GameDay

Excitement builds as LSU takes on Ole Miss on Saturday, October 12, 2024, as NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal and NFL star Justin Jefferson chat before the game at prestigious Tiger Stadium. It’s increasing.

This weekend, ESPN’s “College GameDay” returns to LSU’s campus for the first time since 2019 against Florida. Sports fans watched host Reese Davis and former LSU/Alabama head coach Nick Saban, as well as renowned analysts Kirk Herbert Street, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, and iconic headgear choices. We are looking forward to seeing the charismatic Lee Corso showcasing his true potential.

A burning question remains: Who will be the guest picker? This 2004 gem of college football culture always inspires speculation and excitement. The last time “College Game Day” came to LSU, actor John Goodman took center stage — an homage to the classic 1987 movie “Everybody’s All-American,” which was partially filmed at Tiger Stadium. It was.

While it’s unlikely we’ll see Goodman again, we’ve prepared a list of five potential guest pickers worth talking to. To add to the fun, we’re rating them on a headgear rating from 1 to 5.

Interestingly, this appearance puts LSU tied for the most with Michigan for hosting “College Game Day” 15 times, second only to Ohio State’s 23 and Alabama’s 19, according to NCAA.com. Achieve.

1. Joe Burrow – Former LSU QB:

The beloved Heisman Trophy winner is sure to evoke cheers from LSU fans if he appears this Saturday. But wait! Burrow is unlikely to show up as the Cincinnati Bengals take on Baltimore. He has not stepped foot on campus since the 2023 Spring Game. Is there a possibility of Barrow making a cameo appearance? Two headgear.

2. Kim Mulkey – Women’s Basketball Coach:

Imagine the energy if Mulkey appeared as a guest picker! It will be a treat to see her play alongside Saban (without Corso) as she celebrates her team’s great start and special recruiting class. What if Angel Rhys steals the spotlight instead of her? Is there a chance that Kim Mulkey will make a cameo appearance? 4 headgear.

3. Paul Skins and Olivia Dunn:

ESPN may shy away from the dynamic duo, but a fun appearance from LSU’s version of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce — pitching star Skins and aesthetic gymnast/social media personality Dan — could heat up the stage. yeah. Let’s dream of Dunn showing up with a front somersault as the Skins unveil McAfee’s 102 mph fastball. What are the chances of them showing up? Two headgear.

4. Ed Orgeron – Former LSU coach:

If you’re looking for an edgy choice, don’t overlook Coach O. In preparation for a lively exchange with McAfee, these two baritone giants are sure to dominate the top plays on “SportsCenter.” But if LSU’s release money is still guaranteed, will he consider it? Is there a chance that Coach O will appear? One piece of headgear.

5. Shaquille O’Neal:

Shaquille O’Neal is always a presence, and you might even see him bench-pressing a cheerleader on the sideline. His commercial advertising makes him recognizable even to non-LSU fans, making him a safe yet exciting choice. What are the chances of seeing the Shaq spectacle? 5 headgear.
