Pat was the best thing college gameday could ever ask for. he was their future.

I stopped watching because of him. I switched to fox’s show

Fox's show was better than ESPN's the past few years IMO. Better analysis and

Plus it was shorter. . .There is only so much good content each host can prepare

His schtick gets real old, real fast. Not to mention he's generally pretty crass

sounds like college students. at least the ones that like to party and like sports. which is the target demo.

FieroCoug

Jun 19, 2:33pm

the target demo is actually adults who have left college. the kind who would pay

the biggest demo is older people. but their most important is college students.

That sounds like the Kathleen Kennedy approach to college sports.

it’s not about pat specifically it’s the principle. you need somebody to bring the energy and keep the young people

They're not in danger of losing the students because they lost Pat McAfee.

no but he made the atmosphere a million times better. gameday will be ok without him, but when you have something

FieroCoug

No, the students are not the product, unless you're talking about the ones

the best gameday episodes are the ones with the most engaged crowd. pat was the reason for several of those.

"Best" by what metric? Did they get the most viewership? Week to week, the thing

russkiejedi

Who cares about viewership. Without the Game Day “energy” all of college

its true, but that energy can continue to exist even without the show. its very

i’m just saying that gameday risks being completely irrelevant before long if they don’t have someone like pat. corso

its fascinating that you have that perception, because I don't have that

the ones that are remembered the most. the ones that are talked about years later. the ones that are shown over and over

The target demo for televised college football is absolutely not current college

I find him to be annoying.

he acts like a 18 yo at a frat party to me

Don Carlton

Jun 19, 2:36pm

and those 18 year old frat boys are largely who grow up to be the biggest demographic later on.

Businesses rarely think that long term anymore. Long term is 5 yr ROI not 20

yeah but sports don’t work like that. and the ones that do become almost non existent shortly after. and as a consumer

it seems like you are pretty out of touch with entertainment in the modern era.

Is there any evidence to show that students weren’t showing up to Game Day

bluesloth

Jun 19, 4:20pm

no but again it’s the principle. the entire reason college football is important at all is because of the students.

FieroCoug

He was loud, domineering and obnoxious.

WallaX2

sounds like college students. loud obnoxious partying college students are the most important demo for college football.
