Among the highlights of the GameDay pit are creative and fun handmade signs. This is the chance to show your Mountaineer spirit! App State will host a poster contest that will take place prior to the College GameDay air time on Saturday morning. The grand prizewinner will be announced live during ESPN's College GameDay. To ensure we show the world how clever and creative App State fans are, I've donated some high-stakes prizes:

How can I watch the live broadcast?

College GameDay airs from 9 a.m.-noon on ESPN and ESPNU throughout the football season and is available for streaming through the ESPN App. ESPN's social and digital pre-pre-game show Countdown to College GameDay begins at 8:30 a.m. weekly and is available to watch on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and the ESPN App.

How do I get selected to stand in the pit during the live broadcast?

Students and fans have the opportunity for up-close view of the show by standing in the pit immediately adjacent to the stage. Selection is on a first-come, first-serve basis for all fans. Students admitted to the pit are encouraged to wear school colors and should have a numbered wristband. Participants are subject to ESPN security procedures and policies.

What is the ESPN policy for pit participants?

The following items are prohibited in the pit: bags (of any kind), food and drinks, pens, pencils, markers or dry erase boards and signs on sticks. Throwing objects is strictly prohibited in the pit. A number of sign regulations are required as well.

What are the College GameDay sign regulations?

One of the most beloved traditions associated with College GameDay is the making of signs. No vulgar signs, .com, .net, .org, political or religious signs are allowed. For fans entering the pit, signs cannot be on poles or oversized. All signs brought to Saturday's taping will be inspected before entry and must abide by College GameDay's sign policies or will be removed.
