It is going to be a long day for Cal fans and Hurricanes fans who make the trip to the Bay Area.
ESPN’s College GameDay is headed to Berkeley, California, for the Hurricanes’ road game against the Bears next week, the network announced Saturday night. It is the first time the popular pregame show has been broadcast from Cal’s campus.
Miami and Cal will kick off at 7:30 p.m. local time, which is 10:30 p.m. Eastern Time. College GameDay starts its broadcast at 9 a.m. Eastern Time, which is 6 a.m. in California.
The Hurricanes have not been featured on College GameDay since Oct. 10, 2020, when the popular show went to Clemson for UM’s road game against the Tigers. Miami suffered a 42-17 loss in that game.
College GameDay last went to Miami for a UM home game on Sept. 26, 2020, when the Hurricanes blew out Florida State.
Miami is 15-9 all-time when their game is the featured game on College GameDay.
The Hurricanes are undefeated following a narrow victory over Virginia Tech and are currently ranked in the top 10. Cal, in its first year in the ACC, is 3-1 and had a surprise road win over Auburn before narrowly falling to Florida State.
Berkeley, for the FIRST TIME EVER, we’re headed your way!
