This whole situation between Pat McAfee and Utah fans is whatever. He’ll come back the next time he’s asked.
@PatMcAfeeShow Thank you for coming to Salt Lake City. Hope you make it back to the U sometime. A lot of us appreciate you being here.
@UUtah Can we please tell our fans to knock it off with the “take your shirt off” chants and the “F*** BYU” stuff? And next time, can we at least pick someone for the kicking contest who’s actually kicked a football before and doesn’t start complaining about a generous million dollars?
Mark Harlan said Utah has spoken with ESPN about spreading out its late kickoffs.
He emphasize multiple times that ESPN is a great partner and acknowledged that players enjoy night games, but emphasized the sacrifice for fans.
“I do know for the fans, it’s tough.”
I would be curious how many times Gameday has stayed in the same state two weeks in a row. Says a lot about the level of football being played in Provo & SLC, and really, the state of sports here overall.

This is insane but not that surprising. Unfortunately there are far too many homers in sports media. People who can’t be objective when covering their teams. Ruins everything they do
🚨BREAKING: ESPN's HIGHEST PAID analyst, Stephan A Smith, BLASTS the Big Ten for RIGGING the Michigan vs Western game.
"I hate using the word “RIGGED,” particularly in this day and age, in this climate that we’re living in. But damn it, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it ain’t a damn mongoose. You know what it is......There’s no question this outcome should have been 12-7. It shouldn’t have happened. It’s definitely an egregious mistake on the part of the officials or whomever the hell is responsible for it. I’m not buying it one bit. I know what the hell I saw. Michigan lost this damn game. It’s a shame that the outcome was the outcome."
GOOD!
Dear @NCAA
We all hate you. You've done a terrible job doing anything the last 5 years. You have a chance to win some of us back, at least a little bit.
Fix the Western Michigan game.
Signed,
Everyone who believes in the integrity of the game.
I am part of a Michigan family. None of them are happy how this win was stolen from Western Michigan, who deserved the win. It is hard to take college football seriously anymore. It is no longer a legitimate product, and it fuels the "games are rigged for sportsbooks" crowd.
I used to be a camera operator for Auburn Athletics and worked many college football games for ESPN and SEC network. The Big Ten is lying to you and fabricated evidence for Michigan to have an extra play at the end of the game against Western Michigan. The stadium clock is the standard. Not whatever the replay booth decides it is.
The end of that Michigan game felt like a metaphor for our society right now. The elite the get rules bent or ignored to accommodate their wants, without any consequence whatsoever
