BYU"},"content":{"rendered":"<p data-start=\"141\" data-end=\"394\">ESPN College GameDay is coming to Lubbock, and the whole town is buzzing with excitement. The legendary crew will be broadcasting live from the Texas Tech vs. BYU game this Saturday, bringing national attention \u2014 and plenty of chaos \u2014 to Raiderland.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"396\" data-end=\"763\">For a town that doesn\u2019t get many flashy, showbiz-style events, this is a big deal for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kfmx.com\/tags\/lubbock\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lubbock<\/a>. Texas Tech has announced that College GameDay will set up on the green space just west of Jones AT&amp;T Stadium before moving inside the stadium at 10 a.m. It\u2019s going to be an early morning for fans who want to show off their signs, crafts, and spirited chaos on national television.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"907\">But just in case ESPN ever decides to make Lubbock a regular stop, here are five places they should absolutely never set up their cameras.<\/p>\n<p>The Executive Inn<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"939\" data-end=\"1116\">Let\u2019s be honest \u2014 we all have suspicions about what goes on there. Setting up College GameDay out front would make it a little too obvious what people are \u201cchecking in\u201d for.<\/p>\n<p>Jimenez Y Friends<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1143\" data-end=\"1344\">The guys at Jimenez feed plenty of Tech fans and even players, but with only four parking spots, the last thing they need is ESPN\u2019s production trucks taking up space. Just call in your order, fellas.<\/p>\n<p>Prairie Dog Town<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1370\" data-end=\"1535\">Sure, it sounds cute to film among Lubbock\u2019s most famous residents, but if those little guys are napping, your national broadcast will look like a lunar landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Bryant\u2019s Steakhouse<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1564\" data-end=\"1737\">It\u2019s tempting to get a shot of that giant plastic cow, but that\u2019s a little too close to the \u201ccattle culture\u201d claimed by other teams around Texas. Let\u2019s not confuse anyone.<\/p>\n<p>\u2708\ufe0f LIA (Lubbock International Airport)<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1782\" data-end=\"1932\">Filming at the airport just gives off the wrong impression \u2014 like you can\u2019t wait to get out of town. It\u2019s a little too \u201con the nose,\u201d even for ESPN.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1939\" data-end=\"2089\">Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kfmx.com\/texas-tech-byu-matchup\/?utm_source=tsmclip&amp;utm_medium=referral\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Raiderpocalypse: Fans Prepare For Lubbock&#8217;s Big Football Showdown<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1939\" data-end=\"2089\">This Saturday is going to be wild, loud, and a little unhinged \u2014 exactly the way we like it in Lubbock.
