Fans Praise Pat McAfee for Work on College GameDay

Pat McAfee is giving the people what they want, and they want more of him.

Not that it’s much of a surprise, but the West Virginia product and former NFL punter turned media mogul is receiving praise for his work as part of ESPN’s College GameDay. This really became evident after the show this morning from Athens, Georgia ahead of the Bulldogs matchup with SEC rival Tennessee.

Tweet after tweet, and from fans from all over the country, showed appreciation for what McAfee brings to the table.

I feel like it's being rated properly as a universally loved kick ass decision. https://t.co/ha2Ag5p5mj

A couple of highlights of this Saturday’s show include McAfee being in need of a bib while enjoying a giant sandwich and had some fun with guest picker country music star Luke Bryan.
