You can help by adding to it . (November 2008) </Td> </Tr> <P> In 1993, GameDay began broadcasting live from outside a stadium hosting a game most Saturdays . The selected stadium is usually hosting one of the biggest matchups of the day, regardless of whether the game airs on an ESPN network . The first show "on the road" took place at South Bend, Indiana for the match up between #2 Notre Dame and #1 FSU . The show takes on a festive tailgate party atmosphere, as thousands of fans gather behind the broadcast set, in view of the show's cameras . Many fans bring flags or hand - painted signs as well, and the school's cheerleaders and mascots often join in the celebration . Crowds at GameDay tapings are known to be quite boisterous and very spirited . Flags seen at the broadcast are not limited to those of the home team; for example, one large Washington State flag can be seen at every broadcast, regardless of the location or the teams involved . The idea began in 2003 on WSU online fan forums and has resulted in the flag, nicknamed "Ol' Crimson," being present at over 200 consecutive GameDay broadcasts since 2003 . </P> <P> The show's current intro and theme music is performed by country music duo Big & Rich, who perform their 2005 crossover hit "Comin' to Your City" with revised lyrics that mention several top college teams and a guest appearance by Cowboy Troy . Rap artist Travie McCoy (of Gym Class Heroes) now appears in the intro for this show, starting with 2014 season, as well as Lzzy Hale, lead vocalist and guitarist of the rock group Halestorm . Additional music that has been used for the show include "Boom" by the rock group P.O.D. and God Bless Saturday by Kid Rock . </P>
