College GameDay spent this Saturday in Philadelphia for Notre Dame-Temple, making just its second trip ever to the City of Brotherly Love and/or Booing Santa Claus.
Temple’s ‘College GameDay’ signs include Rocky knocking out Rudy
Not quite up to the standard of James Madison, though.
The signs in the crowd aren't quite as good as they were last week, when the show trekked to James Madison for the first time ever and got a bunch of jokes about Richmond, but there's still some of the traditional Philly snark to them -- and there are some chortles to be had as a result.
And the most obvious sign of all of them may be the best: Rocky beating Rudy!
Rocky vs Rudy for the WBO belt. Would watch. pic.twitter.com/sIqdYefAwX
— College GameDay (@CollegeGameDay) October 31, 2015 Temple fans also used some old reliables. For example: Did you know Lee Corso, who has been appearing on College GameDay for more years than most sign-carrying fans have been alive, is old? He’s old.
He’s so old he probably based his James Madison costume on first-hand knowledge! (This is also our second straight week with a Constitution joke!)
Additionally, Philadelphia is old. Did you know this?
And still on your feet. Impressive and patriotic. pic.twitter.com/biBtJrJ2BV

— Arie & Al (@OfficialReview) October 31, 2015 Would the second sign be better if it were “PLAY LIKE TRASH TODAY! (You can play like a champion tomorrow!)” Probably. (Also, Rudy has dyslexia, and went to Holy Cross to improve his grades before going to Notre Dame. Sorry to ruin your joke!)
It’s better to keep it simple, anyway.

— College GameDay (@CollegeGameDay) October 31, 2015 Another candidate for best sign of the day was probably this incredible reworking of Allen Iverson stepping over Tyronn Lue -- at least, it was the most detailed.

— Temple Owls (@TempleOwls) October 31, 2015 Of course, GameDay in 2015 wouldn’t be complete without memes.
Two memes, one sign. pic.twitter.com/7B76L3Et17
— College GameDay (@CollegeGameDay) October 31, 2015 Finally, uh, things got weird.
This and the "temple waitlisted rudy" topping the bizarre @espn #CollegeGameday signs. pic.twitter.com/LEiFVm15AP
