Pat McAfee calls out Big Noon Kickoff during College GameDay with both shows at Penn State
Published:
Pat McAfee and the College GameDay crew are in Happy Valley this weekend for the Penn State-Ohio State matchup. The Big Noon Kickoff crew is also in Happy Valley, however, meaning the rival shows are at the same location for just the 2nd time this season.
McAfee wasted no time poking fun at Big Noon Kickoff on Saturday morning. The analyst mentioned the FOX pregame show to the GameDay crowd, and the crowd responded with boos.
“I don’t think there’s any people at their set. That’s on them, not on us,” said McAfee.
It didn’t take long for Pat McAfee to take a shot at Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff on College GameDay.

GameDay is a staple of college football and has been around much longer than Big Noon Kickoff. However, it’s also worth noting that many Penn State fans planned a boycott of Big Noon Kickoff this weekend.
The boycott comes as the Nittany Lion fans are furious over this game’s noon kickoff time for FOX’s Big Noon Saturday showcase slot. Fans had wanted the game to be a late kickoff so a white-out could be planned.
Either way, this should be one of the best games of the season. The No. 3 Nittany Lions enter with a perfect record while the Buckeyes’ lone blemish came against current No. 1 Oregon.
The Buckeyes have won 9 of the last 10 in the series, with the Nittany Lions’ last win coming in 2016.
