    College GameDay was always about the fans, every fan. Throwing jabs at Washington State and Oregon State is pretty disrespectful. And those fans have all the right to feel the way they are feeling, ESPN is the main reason the Pac-12 is dead and those two programs are in very uncertain situations.

      How could it be ESPNs fault that pac 12 fell apart? And "throwing jabs at washington state and oregon state"? It's called a joke...not a dick. Don't take it sooo hard 🤣

They are the reason the smaller collegiate sports will have to figure out how to travel across country for “conference games”. The House of Mouse can’t handle that people are disgusted by their business practices so the company is squeezing as much as they can out of ESPN and college sports.

    I also find it funny how McAfee said something along the lines of “I wanna see a West Virginia flag flying every week”. Like, if that’s what you want than do it. The only reason Ol’ Crimson is there every week for 20 years straight is because someone was dedicated enough to show up with it each time

      I'll never understand why people like his show so much. It's just a bunch of meat heads talking about football like children. If you listen to McAfee's "analysis," he's not really saying anything of substance. He'll say something like:
      "That team, they looked hungry. They looked angry! They had a couple plays in that game that made you go, 'Oh, that was nice'. But that defense they were up against, man, are those some real men. Those are some real DAWGS! They had a couple plays where they came flying in there and BAM... yeah, you know what I'm saying, just woke them up!"

      I was an OG Pat fan. Got a bunch of friends hooked..... when he first joined GameDay at South Dakota State I was so happy. In last 2 years I've fallen out of love with his show. Don't hate it, just prioritize watching it anymore. I was excited he was on GameDay as I previously tuned out of GameDay for many of reasons you covered (sad for Corso) but mainly they showed they didn't care for little guys. Went to Ohio State for 29th time over Missoula MT for first time. Thought Pat might win me back.... it's been opposite. Show is worse than ever. I put Big Noon and GameDay side by side for Colorado v Colorado State.... wasn't even close which one was more enjoyable looking on TV. I miss Reggie a lot, Mark has been a above average fill in. They just need to dump Urban. Throw money at Pete Carroll, Saban or maybe Patterson.

    Went to gameday back in 2015 for the Temple v ND game. Back then it felt like a once in a lifetime experience considering how big a cfb fan I am, and the fact they came to my school. Over the last couple years it's felt like they've been losing the script, and that once genuine feel of love for the game has been replaced by an artificial/commercialized focus. I think it's an overall problem with cfb in general nowadays, but I definitely find myself watching Big Noon Saturdays more often than Gameday lately.

    The thing about college gameday is that it was analytical, it was classic, it had a sense of prestige to it. Now with Pat Macfee coming in and just blurting out senseless jokes while wearing a tank top under his jacket it has brought in this image of a rich kid sitting in on his dad's business meeting for the first time. With the mix of holding onto Lee Corso and bringing in new faces who change the tradition of the show there is no real direction. Pat's character belongs on Big Noon Kickoff not College Gameday, and they just need to hand the keys over to Kirk Herbstreet or Rece Davis and let them hire whoever they want for the show.

    Also, one other thing that I feel has hurt college football -- and subsequently these shows -- is that ever since College Football moved to the 4-team playoff it seems both morning shows have put too much emphasis on that. For most fans in the country (who do not root for teams that will make the playoff let alone even having a chance) they are not interested in hearing the show's hosts spend so much time on a few blue blood programs like Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Clemson, LSU, Oklahoma, Michigan, and others. Many fans just want to love the game of college football and they want their rivalries and their traditions. They are going to tune out when the talk centers too much on the playoff. It's nice this year that we have some new blood doing well. Next year may change some things with a 12-team playoff taking shape. And that may really help these morning shows if they handle it right.

He can't keep his mouth shut long enough for anyone else to get the story/report flowing. He needs to go. After the PAC's start this year, including Oregon St and Wassu, maybe ESPN put their money on the wrong horse! Is this why Disney is having money issues, making BAD hires? I record the show and start watching after it's been on for about an hour. I could fast forward the commercials and be caught up just before the end of the show. I fast forward most of Pat's act and now I'm caught up 30 minutes before the show's over.

I agree about the Lee thing. It would probably be best if they had the guy retire. He’s been a great influence on the sport, but none of us are getting any younger.
    I think Pat was better for the show his first year. He was the “spice” factor to balance out the rest of the more composed, suit-wearing panel. This year, it feels like they want everyone to join into the tomfoolery with Pat. It feels a little over-the-top now to be sure. While I agree they need to do more to level out this show during a time of flux, I also hold that Pat is a huge reason more young people are tuning in to the show (like myself).

    I’ll give my two cents from a different perspective. I cover Kansas Football and it’s been interesting to deal with both shows as GameDay came in 2022 and Big Noon just a few weeks ago for the KU vs. OU game. For both shows, they usually will give local media a chance to talk with some of the members of the show and give us a chance to go backstage right before the shows start to get some behind-the-scenes footage for like social media or stuff. Dealing with ESPN was such a headache. They weren’t accommodating at all and it just felt like they were just doing the bare minimum in all proportions. Don’t get me wrong, it was neat because we talked to Reece and Des a day before the show and were allowed access before the show. But it just felt like there was that expectation to cover it so they just essentially brushed us off to the side. Overall, it just felt chaotic and they really just didn’t care. Dealing with Fox was a completely different story. The staff we worked with to set up media with Rob Stone, Matt Leinart and Urban were so nice. They were so appreciative we were there to give them the media attention, and they gave off the energy that they were really happy to be there. It felt like we were more of a priority rather than a burden. It also felt like they legitimately cared compared to GameDay which just felt like they were coasting off of name recognition alone. Looking at ratings, GameDay will have to make some huge changes in the future otherwise Big Noon is going to smoke them.

    2 thoughts: 1). Fox’s Big noon kickoff is far better than game day and it’s been like that for a couple years at least. 2). I like Pat but he doesn’t fit the vibe for college gameday, David Pollack is missed. Also I’m a Michigan guy, Portnoy came thru to Ann Arbor with the barstool sports gameday set up last year for a game and they were the best!

      The look on Pollack's face when McAfee was on the show in Waco in 2019 said it all. McAfee was making it all about McAfee - he even jumped into the Brazos river. The guy is so self-absorbed he assumed the viewers realized the significance of it. I had no clue and had to look it up online. The guy is a clown. Pollack was like "yeah, no thanks." I felt the same way.

    Gameday died when it went to 3 hours and quit being about football analysis and more about sappy stories in college football and about Lee Corso being a mascot. There hasn't been any substance. That show seems to have a complete and total hatred for college football now and has for 15 years or so. Especially Lee Corso.

    Mark Ingram is more polished than Bush. Suprised at how good he is. Not feeling McAffe at all and definitely miss Pollack.

    Now I recently went to big noon at University of Cincinnati as a student. I truly wouldn’t say it was a better experience than college GameDay. Now when I went to GameDay in cincy 2 years ago things could change. But saying they aren’t about the fans and they aren’t interacting with the fans a horrible take because they do. But that’s also coming from someone who went two years ago it could be different now.

    I've hardly watched since they replaced Chris Fowler with Rece Davis. It seems like I'm not missing out.

      Rece Davis is an excellent interviewer, but doesn’t really have the energy for a show like gameday. Sort of feels like a debate moderator

      Good point. Fowler and the crew felt like good friends hanging out and talking football.
