College Gameday is coming to New York. This is our moment.

ESPN’s marquee college football show College Gameday, which traditionally broadcasts on Saturday mornings from the campus of the biggest football game of that week, is instead planning to air live from Times Square on September 23.

It will be the first time College Gameday has ever broadcast from New York City, and an almost equally rare appearance in the state of New York, not known for its college football powerhouses. The show figures to be a bit of a departure from their usual weekly format, as they will not be hosted by any one game but rather ruminate on New York City’s football heritage.

“While previewing college football week 4’s biggest games around the country and talking about the sport’s most important storylines, College GameDay will also highlight college football’s New York history and modern day culture,” said ESPN’s Derek Volner via a press release.

But that’s less important to us right now. Right now, we’re focused on one singular mission: we’re going to get Stony Brook onto College Gameday.

ESPN and College Gameday usually carry the biggest FBS game of the week. In Week 1, that was Alabama’s opener vs. Florida State. Week 2 featured Oklahoma’s thrashing of Ohio State, and on Saturday the crew will be in Louisville, Kentucky for the Cardinals’ Week 3 showdown with reigning national champion Clemson.

But the middle weeks of the college football season—particularly before the Power 5 conferences begin their league schedules—can be bereft of premiere matchups. Indeed, Week 4 of this season features no Top-25 matchups, and is perhaps highlighted by a Penn State vs. Iowa game. Lame.

In recent years, College Gameday has shown a willingness to use these light schedules to give smaller programs an opportunity to shine on the national stage. Two years ago, College Gameday visited fellow CAA member James Madison for their rivalry game against Richmond, and before that they broadcast from other FCS programs like North Dakota State.

Much of the College Gameday schedule remains unknown. For instance, we know that Lee Corso’s famous mascot headgear selection will happen, but without a host to provide one, it’s unclear what teams are in the running.

And therein lies the opportunity. As luck would have it, Stony Brook plays at home on September 23, just a train ride away from the College Gameday set. What’s more, the Seawolves kick off against Towson at 6pm, well after College Gameday finishes the broadcast at noon. If Stony Brook were to, say, ship the marching band, Wolfie, and a few fans into the city, they’d all have ample time to make it back to campus for kickoff.

But even if Athletics doesn’t officially get involved in the day’s festivities—and you better believe Shawn Heilbron has made a few phone calls and convened a few meetings since the news broke—there are still ways we can do this. The easiest, and most obvious, is to set up shop in the crowds that accompany the show. You’ve seen them: throngs of fans gathered behind the set, holding witty signs, waving massive flags, and otherwise causing a ruckus just off camera. ESPN pans through the crowds frequently during the three-hour taping.

So here’s the plan. Brookland is going to get ourselves into the fan pen, with our massive Seawolves flag in tow. If there’s enough interest among students, we’ll also commit to organizing a meet-up that morning so we can go in together and improve our odds. I have never been so committed to a singular mission as I am to this one. We may never have another chance to crash College Gameday, so let’s make the most of this moment, Seawolves.
