Pat McAfee Facing Major Backlash for Behavior on 'College GameDay'

For decades, ESPN's "College GameDay show has been the highlight of college football on Saturday's as they preview the slate for the day in an exciting fashion. Each week they pick their game of the week and host the show at their stadium.

This week, that game is the highly-anticipated matchup between the No. 15 ranked Oklahoma Sooners and No. 6 ranked Tennessee. This game should be one of the best of the week as these two powerhouses fight to stay undefeated.

Though this is an exciting environment, one of the hosts on the panel of College GameDay has received a lot of backlash on Twitter or "X" for his behavior on the show this week. That host being sports personality and former NFL player Pat McAfee.

"Would be nice to throw on College GameDay on a Saturday morning without Pat McAfee screaming at me.", one fan said.

"Pat McAfee is just terrible", another fan added.

One fan also said "Pat McAfee has made GameDay unwatchable", with another adding, "I need less Pat McAfee on GameDay".

While fans are putting McAfee under fire for his natural behavior, he added another reason for particularly Oklahoma fans to be upset with him.

Saying to a swarm of Oklahoma fans that the only reason he's there is because of Tennessee doesn't make him the most likable. Granted, this is who he is as a sports personality and it's not different than how he's acted previously.

Even so, it appears fans are beginning to get fed up with this behavior which could cause some concern for GameDay. He's a huge personality, so it's unlikely he gets fired, but if these comments continue, GameDay's popularity will likely decrease.
