Lillis Is Backdrop for College GameDay

What a weekend it was. For over half a decade, ESPN College GameDay's annual stop in Eugene has provided an extra jolt of big-screen excitement to the fall football season. This year, excitement rose to new heights for all of us at the Lundquist College when, for the first time ever, the folks from ESPN chose UO Memorial Quad for the site of the October 15 GameDay Broadcast, with the Lillis Business Complex as a backdrop. We weren't going to waste this chance to show off our world-class facilities, so we rushed to have a giant "O" graphic installed over the building's main entrance (see photos of the installation). Saturday's action kicked off early: students started staking out their spots in the viewing area at 1 a.m. and the show began taping at 6 a.m. in the pre-dawn darkness.
