Three hours is ridiculous
I'll have it running in the background if I'm home but I can't think of the last time I actually paid attention to more than the last 10 minutes.

I am on record saying I converted to Big Noon Kickoff last year, that Big Noon was the superior show...nope. Not anymore. I watch Gameday way more now and am almost exclusively a Gameday watcher now. A couple of reasons for that.
One, Pat and Saban have invigorated that show. Great additions. Love Pat's antics and love to hear Saban's takes on things and act like an actual human. Sabe's has a personality, who knew?
Two, the kids kicking the FG's for half-million plus dollars is a great segment. Last week when that girl had the winning ticket and partnered with that kid to stand in and kick for her, and then he DRILLS it through the uprights, probably would have been good from 50, even my 8-yr old son went nuts. That segment is his favorite part of Gameday.
Three, Big Noon is too focused on the game they are at. They barely move off of covering any other games or teams. Combine that with them being at Ohio State or Penn State every other week, I don't want to watch a 2-hour promo for Ohio State every dang week. It gets old...fast.

Like everyone else said, it’s both McAfee and Saban. And slowly sunsetting Corso. McAfee is perfect for that show as much of a cheeseball as he is at times

As Pat's #1 fan on TD I'm here to gloat

Agree with this. Gameday will be at the same location this week

Or the decision to bring Saban on.
It’s both, but the 18-24 is 100% mcafee. The video of him doing neck at LSU must have been shared with me 100 times by people who don’t even consider themselves big football fans.
Even my wife texted it to me while she was out shopping and she couldn’t pick Pat mcafee or saban out if they were right in front of her.

He should have announced that it was his last show when they went to Indiana earlier this season. Would have been a perfect way for him to go out.
Watching Corso try to get through a segment is painful, cringy, and sad to the point where I don't watch because of this sometimes.
McAfee has grown on me a little. His antics are still annoying, but he and Saban do well together and it is clear that he is more knowledgeable about college football than he was last year.

And that's because McAfee is on there next to him. I don't think he's close to the same person on that show if McAfee isn't on it

Sorry to disappoint you but this boomer loves McAfee.

I doubt if it’s mcAfee. Probably saban being added and corso being out
You think a bunch of high school and college kids are tuning in to watch a 70 something year old guy? It’s clearly Pat.

We love Patty Mac's antics, don't we mate?

Pat was on there last year as well…
I think it’s the combo of Pat + Saban + new playoff driving interest in CFB in general. Also feels like Big Noon Kickoff has taken a step back.

Desmond has makes pics on someone high up at Disney. He adds nothing has little personality and I think he resume is just a picture of his heisman trophy.
