The deleted College GameDay video that fueled Pat McAfees Utah anger

The University of Utah-produced video that left Pat McAfee vowing to never return — and referencing Charlie Kirk’s assassination — included students mildly joking about his mannerisms.McAfee called out Monday a since-deleted video published by the university in advance of ESPN’s “College GameDay” coming to campus for Saturday’s huge 21-13 win over Houston.The host of the video asks a fan for his best McAfee impression, and a male fan predicted the host would say a “corny line.”“He’s going to be like, ‘Houston, we got a problem.Give the Utah Utes,” the fan said while those around him chuckled.Another fan then appeared to joke that he would bet on McAfee ripping his shirt off during the show, before another fan chided the ESPN star for doing so.“Pat, we love you, bro, but like, bro, keep the shirt on,” the fan said with a smile.

“No one is trying to see that.We don’t care, these are college kids, bro.

Keep your shirt on homie.”Those remarks clearly got under McAfee’s skin, along with the student in the show’s kicking contest asking why she was being offered $1 million instead of the $3 million McAfee gave away the previous week at BYU.McAfee appeared visibly annoyed at the remark, and signed off by picking Houston to win to a chorus of boos and saying “I’ll never see you again, hopefully.”On his self-named show Monday, McAfee went scorched earth on Utah and ESPN’s potential $60 million star explicitly referenced the rather tame remarks made by the students.He said he did not enjoy his time in Salt Lake City, even using the word hate and saying he’s never felt more uncomfortable.McAfee repeatedly stated that he felt that video was the university taking a shot at him.“They do an impression of Pat McAfee and one kid goes, ‘Ah, he’s corny.’ Another kid calls me creepy,” he said, although the student did not call him corny.“OK, if these kids would have done this on their own blogs, all good.

I mean, everybody...
