For the first time, ESPN’s "College GameDay" crew made its way to Iowa State University and Ames in advance of the Cylones’ in-state matchup against the University of Iowa on Saturday.

“Amesday” lived up to the hype, and excited Cyclones fans showed up and brought their best signage to the set.

ESPN's Lee Corso picked Iowa State (complete with a classic Corso headfake), which meant he donned the head of Cyclones mascot “Cy the Cadinal.”

Iowa has won the last four games in the series, but Iowa State is expected to make it a fight to keep the CyHawk Trophy in Ames. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m.

Hundreds of people packed the set of EPSN's "College GameDay" on Saturday in Ames, Iowa.
