Pat McAfee trolls Alabama football fans with ‘College GameDay’ kick twist
Pat McAfee’s kicking contest has seen many unique moments since he first joined “College GameDay.” Saturday’s visit to Tuscaloosa presented a new twist for the ESPN personality, though.
The popular college football pregame show has featured many college fans winning big money in 2026. However, Week 5’s long-awaited return to Iowa saw a Hawkeyes supporter miss with one of the worst kicks in the show’s history.
Alabama fans Sam and Mason appeared on “College GameDay” for McAfee’s latest kicking challenge. However, there were several interesting twists both from the Crimson Tide supporters and the exuberant ESPN personality.
McAfee originally picked Sam to be the kicker for Week 6, but ultimately Mason was put into the spotlight by his friend. That unfortunately didn’t go well for him after missing not one, but two kicks for a chance at over $500,000.

McAfee has given away millions of dollars this season to college students and worthy charitable causes. That includes Tennessee and Texas football fans each nailing their kicks in style recently.
However, the host of “The Pat McAfee Show” didn’t make this week’s kick any easier for Mason. The 39-year-old added two dummy blockers in front of the kicker while Kirk Herbstreit held the ball.
Thankfully, McAfee says he’ll still donate $500,000 to hurricane relief for the Alabama area. The southern United States are currently facing intense weather conditions from Hurricane Isaias’ presence.
