Pat McAFee Show
Kirk Herbstreit is showing his support for Pat McAfee in a big way.
Earlier this year, McAfee appeared bothered by a survey that said 49 percent of College GameDay fans don’t like his presence on the show.
In response to the survey, McAfee told fans he might not return to the show next season.
“To the 49%, I have some great news.. I have heard you all very loud and clear since the beginning of my stint with GameDay. It’s one of the biggest reasons why I have not resigned a contract with the legendary show. I’m not right for some crowds and the “distinguished” College Football folks are definitely one of those.”
“Excited to enjoy the rest of this year, that’s shaping up to be a GREAT one, and then see what the future holds.”
On Friday, Herbstreit told McAfee that he would leave GameDay is McAfee didn’t come back next season.

“I’m just gonna say this right now. If you dare even think of leaving College GameDay, I’m leaving with you,” “I am. I am. I’m dead serious.”
Herbstreit went on a passionate rant about why he loved working with McAfee on GameDay.
“I’m not kissing your a–. I’m just telling you that — and I told you this a lot — that you’ve changed my experience,” Herbstreit said. “I work really hard with these three projects. I’m on on GameDay and the Thursday night game with Al (Michaels) and Saturday with Chris (Fowler). And you you’ve really changed the approach, not just on the set, but like the week. I’m having a blast.”
