ESPN College GameDay host Pat McAfee fires shots at rival Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff

ESPN's College GameDay is in Pennsylvania on Saturday, and Pat McAfee has already started throwing shots at rival Fox's Big Noon Kickoff. The College GameDay crew is in town to cover the game between the No. 3-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions (7-0) and No. 4-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes (6-1). The game kicks off at noon today.

College GameDay famously starts its shows several hours before the start of the game, and as a result, they get started before Big Noon Kickoff on Fox. In an attempt to stir up the rivalry, Pat McAfee said this:

"This game is not at night, this is a big noon kickoff ... I don't think there's any people at their set, that's on them, not on us."

McAfee then got the huge crowd hyped up by shooting, "We Are!" repeatedly as the crowd responded by shouting, "Penn State!"

The famous host is known for being a showman, and he did a great job of getting the crowd fired up for the game while stoking the flames of the rivalry between ESPN and Fox.

Who will sit next to Pat McAfee as the guest picker on College GameDay this week?

Every week, the College GameDay team travels to a different city to cover a different game. This week, the team is covering the game between the Nittany Lions and the Buckeyes. It is an exciting top-five matchup that should go down to the wire.

Part of what makes College GameDay fun is it brings on a guest picker every week to cover the game. The player always has ties to the host city, and that is the case this week too. Star comedian Keegan-Michael Key is the guest picker on College GameDay for this matchup.

Key is a big football fan and has been for his entire life. He grew up in Detroit rather than Pennsylvania, but despite that, he became a Penn State fan as a child.

This happened because he had many family friends who lived in Pennsylvania. Key later did his master's degree at Penn State and has gone on to visit the team many times.

This is not Key's first appearance on College GameDay. He covered a Penn State game before, and is unlikely to change up his pick. When it is time for Pat McAfee and the College GameDay crew to make their picks for this game, so will Key. It would be a shock if he picks against Penn State.
