Afraid the College Gameday we grew up with has run its course. Something different and worse now. Increasingly petty, vindictive, at odds with people, and shallow.
Earlier this week, Wazzu head coach Jake Dickert and former QB Ryan Leaf criticized College GameDay for turning Oregon State-Washington State into a joke.
Pat McAfee appeared to respond this morning. And then some.
