Fans Can Play via HerdZone.com, App HerdZone or TheFanExam.com
Marshall fans can gear up to play The Fan Exam presented by Unilever – a live trivia game hosted by Mike Golic, notable sports media personality and ESPN college football analyst. The six-week live game show is free to play and will begin at 8.pm. every Tuesday and Thursday, from Nov. 10 – Dec. 17, 2020. The only date variation is during Thanksgiving week, with a move to Wednesday.
Fans will access the game through HerdZone.com/thefanexam, the official Marshall mobile app HerdZone or TheFanExam.com. For mobile users, there is no separate app to download. Each game will feature 12 college sports trivia questions, with varying degrees of difficulty, in a non-elimination format. Players will accumulate points for correct answers, with prizes awarded to top finishers on the national leaderboard after each week of play and at the end of the six-week season.
In collaboration with its parent company Learfield IMG College, SIDEARM Sports tapped Golic to host the inaugural interactive college sports trivia game – to be played exclusively and simultaneously on a network of official athletics websites and apps powered by SIDEARM. The Fan Exam, presented by Unilever, is owned and operated by Learfield IMG College and SIDEARM Sports.
"There's no denying the passion and loyalty of college sports fans, and The Fan Exam is designed to capture that insatiable appetite for college sports through a national, live game show hosted by the one and only Mike Golic," said Jeff Rubin, who is SIDEARM Sports' president and CEO, and chief digital officer for Learfield IMG College's media group. "We're excited about getting this under way and pleased to bring this to our school partners and their fans as a complement to the fall and winter sports seasons."
"It's no secret my allegiance to sports, both personally and professionally, and I'm excited to be the one introducing The Fan Exam to diehard college sports fans across the country starting November 10," added Golic. "After a 25-year career with ESPN, it feels good to refocus on new projects that still center around what I'm most passionate about, and doing it with Learfield IMG College and SIDEARM – reputable companies doing great work in the college space. I'm looking forward to this and more to come."
