Pat McAfee soldiered through some health difficulties on Saturday’s “College GameDay,” and he did so in hilarious fashion.
McAfee admitted he was dealing with a suspected case of food poisoning during Saturday’s telecast. It did not necessarily show, as McAfee played a hilarious role in a field goal kicking contest that went very poorly for one student.

After that segment, Kirk Herbstreit admitted that McAfee had thrown up off-camera just after that segment, and the two joked that the poor quality of the field goal attempt was what triggered it.
I think I ate something spoiled..

“He hadn’t been feeling well all morning, and now we understand why. Just vomit flew everywhere,” Herbstreit admitted.
“Coach (Mike) Elko showed up there earlier, I almost vomited. I got a little food poisoning. I think I ate something spoiled. But as soon as I saw that kid kick that football, I was so disgusted,” McAfee joked.
McAfee may be a bit rough around the edges, but he has definitely brought something new to ESPN and specifically “College GameDay.” Nobody else is providing this sort of bizarre and hilarious moment.
