Steiner to debut at Survivor Series?, Stephanie chat on MSN tonight, more Submitted by Matthew Tremley on Thursday, November 14, 2002 at 12:15 PM EST
With all the talk continuing to buzz around the wrestling world about Scott Steiner, there are really only two main questions that need to be answered. What roster will he be on and when will he debut? Well, there is talk going around that "Big Poppa Pump" might debut as early as the Survivor Series this Sunday. As for what roster he'll be on, the WWE still wants Steiner to be on the Raw roster to help build up ratings, especially with Raw's terrible 3.1 performance on Monday.
Smackdown's General Manager Stephanie McMahon will be doing a live chat on MSN tonight at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT).

COLLEGE GAMEDAY: THE IVY LEAGUE EDITION LIVE FROM PHILDELPHIA FOR HARVARD AT PENN; FIRST TIME EVER FOR DIVISION 1-AA
For the first time in its 10-year road history, ESPN's College GameDay Presented by Discover® Card with host Chris Fowler and analysts Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit will originate live from a Division 1-AA matchup - Harvard at Penn from Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Saturday at 10:30 a.m. ET.
This will also mark GameDay's first trip to a college football game played in the Northeast corridor and the program's second show from a game without a Division 1-A national championship implication. Last year, GameDay traveled to Army at Air Force as a tribute to the academies and their contribution to the nation's battle against terrorism.
Saturday's highlights:
LIVE INTERVIEW WITH MIAMI'S LARRY COKER: As a head coach, Larry Coker has yet to lose a game. He's 21-0. Coker will appear live on GameDay for an interview with Fowler to discuss among other things, Miami's BCS ranking and how the team is preparing for upcoming games against Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Virginia Tech.
THE LEGEND OF FRANKLIN FIELD: Philadelphia's Franklin Field, the site of Saturday's Ivy League title game, is the home of the Quakers. A historic stadium nestled in the heart of a bustling city, Franklin Field first opened in 1895 and featured the nation's first scoreboard. It was also the site of the 1925 game when Illinois' Red Grange set an NCAA record with 330 rushing yards against Penn.
PENN'S MIKE MITCHELL: University of Pennsylvania quarterback Mike Mitchell is enrolled at the Wharton School of Business. He left the team last year to focus on academics. Mitchell's return this season has helped propel the Quakers to their second shot in as many years at an undefeated season in the Ivy League.
WWE AND FORMER HARVARD STAR CHRIS NOWINSKI: He excelled on the field as a defensive end at Harvard. Chris Nowinski began his career on WWE - the nation's leading professional wrestling circuit - as Chris Harvard, playing off his alma mater. Today, the former Crimson player has emerged as one of WWE's leading stars and has likewise returned to his birth name, Nowinski, reports Jeremy Schaap.
HARVARD'S CARL MORRIS: Rated by many as the nation's top Division 1-AA receiver, Carl Morris is averaging 146 receiving yards per game. He is arguably the best player in the Ivy League this season and an NFL Draft prospect in April.
TEXAS TECH'S KLIFF KINGSBURY: Senior quarterback Kliff Kingsbury leads the nation in passing yards and touchdowns, thanks to a pass-happy Red Raiders offense, reports Curry Kirkpatrick.
COLORADO'S CHRIS BROWN: Recruited by coach Gary Barnett at Northwestern, Chris Brown followed his coach to Colorado. Last year on Thanksgiving weekend, Brown rushed for 198 yards and six touchdowns as the Buffs ran past then top-ranked Nebraska en route to a 62-36 home victory. This season, the junior running back is the nation's leading rusher and a candidate for the Heisman Trophy, reports Shelley Smith.
OHIO STATE'S FOURTH-DOWN PLAY: Last Saturday in West Lafayette, Ind., the Ohio State Buckeyes saved their run for a championship season when Craig Krenzel threw a touchdown pass to Michael Jenkins on a fourth-and-one play with 96 seconds left in the game. GameDay's Herbstreit - a former Ohio State quarterback - will take viewers into the Buckeye huddle to capture how the play was called and the impact of the decision.
GAMEDAY QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Will feature responses from players on the question: What is the toughest class you take or have taken at school? Saturday's question is in recognition of the academic history of The Ivy League schools.
JASON GESSER LIVE: Washington State quarterback Jason Gesser will appear live on GameDay from Pullman, Wash., to discuss his team's chances for a spot in the Rose Bowl.
