Signs You'll See at Every College Gameday
2015 College Gameday Signs

The countdown has begun to this week's College Gameday and one of the most anticipated games of the season. Two top five ranked teams, Clemson and Louisville will play this Saturday night. The winner of this game will likely win the ACC Atlantic Division, get a chance to play for an ACC Championship, and maybe receive a spot in this year's College Football Playoffs.

Hours before this game happens, this Saturday morning a group of ESPN sports reporters will take over Clemson's Bowman Field for College Gameday. The event is a great time for fans to show their school spirit, trash talk teams, and get excited for an upcoming important game. No matter where College Gameday takes place, whether it be in Clemson, Tuscaloosa, Columbus, Baton Rouge, or elsewhere, you will always see the following ten types of Gameday signs.

1. Signs so simple they are funny


If you know anything about Florida and its large population of grandparents and retired citizens, you'll find this simple, handwritten sign hilarious.

2. A sign referencing a commercial

This sign was inspired by Peyton Manning's new Allstate commercials. Manning was a quarterback at Tennessee long before his seasons with the Broncos, making this Virginia Tech/Tennessee Gameday sign even more clever.

3. Signs bashing a team not even playing in the big game

Just a few weeks ago this Alabama fan showed up at a College Gameday event celebrating the game between LSU and Wisconsin.

4. Signs providing commentary on current news events

This beautiful but simple sign was created right after the Paris shootings last year. In the past few months similar shootings have occurred, making this sign's message even more powerful.

5. Signs referencing a popular television show or movie

Nicholas Cage's National Treasure character may have been successful in taking the Declaration of Independence, but Oklahoma failed to "steal the national championship" last year. The team lost to Clemson in the College Playoffs.

6. A sign making a political statement

I think I know who this sign maker is voting for...

7. A "mom" or "dad" sign

I bet this college student's parents were pleased to see this sign on television. Someone has some explaining to do.

8. A person without a sign but dressed up as a mascot

If you don't feel like making a sign, you can always dress up like a Volunteer, Hokie, or your school's mascot

9. Signs making fun of former players and coaches

Unlike this fan, I'm wishing Tim Tebow all the best as he begins his baseball career.

10. Signs that incorporate the ESPN letters

The classic ESPN acronym signs are probably the easiest to make. During almost every College Gameday the funniest (but not always most politically correct) one is featured on television.

Next time you watch College Gameday on television or show up to the event in person, see if you can find these ten types of signs.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
