Pat McAfee Expresses Discomfort During Utah Visit, Reflects on Controversial Video

During a recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show, Pat McAfee opened up about his less-than-pleasant experience at the University of Utah while covering the College GameDay event. The Utes secured a 21-13 victory against the Houston Cougars, but McAfee’s visit was overshadowed by a video posted by the university’s official social media accounts where students mocked him.

McAfee mentioned feeling uneasy as he prepared to go on stage, noting, “I’ve really enjoyed this college football season. Did not enjoy University of Utah.” He expressed particular concern over the university’s role in the video’s creation, suggesting it could amplify negativity toward him, especially in light of past violent events tied to college gatherings in the area. Ultimately, he stated, “I’ll hopefully never go to that place” again.
