ESPN’s College GameDay’ has always been exciting. The buzz levels have definitely increased since Nick Saban joined the show. All hands went up for Alabama while predicting Saturday’s game between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Wisconsin Badgers, including Nick Saban, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Dawn Staley, Kirk Herbstreit, and Lee Corso. You are probably aware of a worn superstition in sports that if everyone predicts in favor of a team, chances are there for opponents to win. But wait, looking at the scoreboard right now, Wisconsin is far from winning. Besides that, let’s look at what Pat Macafee did during the college Gameday following a South Carolina ritual.

As a welcoming gesture in Southern Carolina, people use a rooster or cock to welcome good fortune, and it looks like Pat McAfee is doing that during the College Game Day pre-game show on Saturday. During the opening moments of the show, Pat McAfee took the stage and said, “It’s been a decade since College Game Day has come to beautiful Columbia, South Carolina. These people have been out here since 4 am, 2 am, and 3 am. I’ve been here for about 48 hours. And I’ll tell you what? The Southern hospitality is very real. And there’s one notion you need to understand.” Pat McAfee started his speech by highlighting South Carolina’s hospitality and expressed his feelings of being overjoyed standing there.

After which, McAfee pulls out a hilarious stunt, probably leaving Nick Saban in embarrassment. Moving forward with his speech, he stated, “It is an absolute honour to be in Columbia, South Carolina, and this is one of the only towns in schools in the history of television where you can just get away with saying, I’ve been a mayor of cocktail around here,” said McAfee while holding a cock in his hand.

McAfee claimed the table and cheered loudly in front of the crowd. It was such a humorous moment, and Nick’s face was memorable. He was blushing and controlling his laugh both at the same time. Besides that, let’s have a glance at today’s game

Alabama is leading in the third quarter against Wisconsin

After a shaky start in the 2024 season, Kalen DeBoer and the Bama boys are on cloud nine right now. Alabama is heading toward winning the game with a 35-10 score. During the first quarter, Wisconsin started with a 53-yard field goal by Nathanial Vaskos, and we thought they might end up scoring more, but Alabama’s star performer, Jalen Milroe, answered with a 31-yard touchdown throw to Ryan Williams.

Coming to the second quarter, Jalen Milroe took charge of the game with a 3-yard rushing touchdown, passing the pigskin to Germie Bernard, who caught a 26-yard pass. It looks like Milroe is in full form right now by hitting one after another touchdown. In the third quarter, Jam Miller contributed with a 34-yard touchdown. Following that, Wisconsin managed to finally get a touchdown. Toward the end of the third quarter, Milroe made another splendid 10-yard rushing touchdown. Given the scores till now, Alabama has already taken over the win from Wisconsin, and only a miracle can turn the tables.
