Rob Riggle reaction: Football fans love comedian’s chemistry with College GameDay panelist

Rob Riggle is a proud Kansas alum, although he hasn’t had much to cheer about regarding the football team in recent years.
This season, though, the Jayhawks are off to a 5-0 star and hosted ESPN’s College GameDay on Saturday for the first time in program history.
Riggle was the guest picker, and the comedian/actor drew rave reviews on Saturday morning. Particularly, fans loved Riggle’s chemistry with GameDay panelist Pat McAfee.
Here’s some of the reaction on Twitter from Saturday morning:
ESPN/ABC missed a golden opportunity. With @RobRiggle as the @CollegeGameDay guest picker, they should have sent @JoeTessESPN to TCU/KU and let them call the whole game @holeymoleyabc-style. pic.twitter.com/JPZTVOft47

I’m convinced that @RobRiggle needs a weekly segment on the @PatMcAfeeShow.

I’d watch a football show with just Pat McAfee and Rob Riggle for hours.

Pat McAfee next to Rob Riggle is like if cocaine and red bull had a party together.
