Country artist Kenny Chesney was selected to appear as guest picker on ESPN's College GameDay Saturday.
Chesney, a friend of head football coach Steve Spurrier, will serve as the celebrity picker for the show.
The picker predicts the outcomes of other college football games going on that day and the marquee matchup that GameDay goes to.
The last time the show visited the Horseshoe, country singer and Carolina-alumnus Darius Rucker served as picker.
Chesney is a Tennessee fan, but he's grown to like the Gamecocks due to his friendship with Spurrier.
“He’s a Carolina fan now," Associate Vice President of Student Affairs Jerry Brewer said. "He talks about how he pulls for the Head Ball Coach every week, except one week a year."
Chesney also appeared as a picker for the University of Tennessee when the show was in Knoxville, Tennessee. He also has ties to South Carolina; he co-produced "The Believer," a documentary about Spurrier.
Along with picking the games of the week, Chesney will perform a song from his newly-released album.
"Having someone like that here, it creates a lot of fun," Brewer said. "It’s something you don’t see every day.”
