Pat McAfee Joins ESPN's College GameDay
Likely to replace Lee Corso, he will definitely liven things up!

Wow. So he will be doing color commentary for Smackdown on Friday nights, then turning around and going to wherever Gameday is the next morning. On weekends there is a WWE PPV, he will then be turning around and going to whatever city is hosting on Sunday.

Busy man.

I wonder if they will force Corso out or limit his role. Having him just do the picks is probably for the best.

Busy man.

For example, just this week, McAfee will be live from Smackdown on Friday night in Seattle, Washington. He will then be on live for Gameday in Austin, Texas, the next morning.

As conferences continue to expand and geographic footprints increase, more and more folks will have concerns about student-athlete (and fan) travel; Pat McAfee will be putting in some major miles in the coming weeks ahead.

While they're changing things up on GameDay can they eliminate the musical acts and bother to cover people not in the Top 10?

Why talk about college football when we can hear about human interest stories?

McAfee takes a leave of absence from WWE, who told him doing back to back shows across the country and a three hour daily YouTube show during the week would burn him out. He would return to WWE after the FBS title game, which is when WWE programming starts to get into high gear for Wrestlemania, which is at Sofi Stadium this year.

No one is forcing Lee Corso out but he's 87.

Dope. McAfee is great in small doses. His show is a bit much for me but as part of a panel on GameDay I think he'll bring a ton of energy. Long term he does feel like the Corso replacement. He's gonna yell catch phrases. He's gonna work the crowd. He can put on the mascot heads or put his own twist on the big final pick once corse is no longer part of the show.

They still doing that, huh?

Hadn't tuned in to GameDay in 5 years even though I probably watch at least 15 hours per week of CFB.

Don't miss it one bit, either
