Ouija is the highest-grossing film at the box office as fans await the release of the upcoming Hunger Games sequel, Mockingjay Part 1.
The racehorse Bayern is winning the Breeders' Cup.
Fans of tech are excitedly awaiting the new "Apple Watch" set for release in the second quarter of 2015, allowing them to even more mindlessly doomscroll from a different device when they're bored of looking at their phone screen.
Mississippi State is the No. 1 ranked college football team in the country. Yes, this really happened.
And College GameDay is in Morgantown, West Virginia, for the last time for at least 11 years as the 24th-ranked Mountaineers, led by head coach Dana Holgorsen, look to upend No. 6 TCU.
One prominent College GameDay host is hoping to change that in 2025.
Kirk Herbstreit wants College GameDay back in Morgantown
After an 11-year absence, Kirk Herbstreit made it known last week on the Pat McAfee Show that he hopes GameDay makes a return to Morgantown sometime soon. That was obviously music to McAfee's ears as a WVU grad.
Herbstreit is fully on-board with the Mountaineer revival now that Rich Rodriguez is back in town.
"It's a new era in Morgantown, and I am officially on the bandwagon because Rich Rod, to me, I am all, all in," Herbstreit said.
The once-proud West Virginia program has fallen on tough times. They've produced only one double-digit win season since 2011, and let go of Neal Brown following his sixth season, where he went just 37-35 overall and managed just two winning seasons.
Rodriguez was brought back as the head coach, a position he served in from 2001-2007, producing a 60-26 mark and leading West Virginia to three consecutive Top 10 finishes in the Coaches Poll. They've been chasing that high in Morgantown ever since Rich Rod left to take the Michigan job.
Rodriguez struggled at both Michigan and Arizona before finding his groove again at Jacksonville State, leading the Gamecocks to a 27-10 mark in his three seasons there. He successfully led their transition from FCS-to-FBS, and now gets one more chance at big-time college football in the Big 12.
Herbstreit and McAfee discussed the potential for GameDay to return to Morgantown for the "Backyard Brawl" on September 13th when West Virginia takes on hated rival Pittsburgh. Despite Herbstreit and McAfee's advocacy, it would be surprising to see that be the week considering the slate of games elsewhere, such as Texas A&M at Notre Dame, Florida at LSU, and Georgia at Tennessee.
Of course, if Rodriguez does what the Mountaineer brass is hoping for in his second stint, it's only a matter of time before College GameDay finds its way to Morgantown for a big game with couch-burning implications.
