WACO, TX — For Baylor grads Clark and Becca McCormack, they never would've met if it weren't for ESPN's College GameDay.

Five years ago, the last time College GameDay came to Waco, the two got together with mutual friends to go to the game.

Clark and Becca hit it off, started dating, and got married in 2016.

This weekend College GameDay is coming back to Waco for a battle between the 9-0 Baylor Bears and the Oklahoma Sooners.

"We said, "This is crazy, GameDay is coming back." GameDay is where it all started," said Clark McCormack

The couple couple couldn't be more excited, except this time around, they're celebrating a new milestone in their relationship- their first baby.

"We think back to all the Baylor games we've been to since. We think about all the Saturday mornings we watch GameDay together. It's no coincidence, It's all crazy," said Clark.

Baby boy Paul Sanford McCormack III was born at 4:06 p.m. on November 15, 2019, weighing in 7 pounds 7 ounces.

"Regardless, we can't wait to hold the little baby tomorrow and watch GameDay, and we'll be here watching, cheering for them, and Sic 'Em Bears," said Clark.
