Pat McAfee, wearing a glittery sports jacket, draws reactions in the first half of the Las Vegas Bowl

Pat McAfee is a popular but also somewhat controversial personality, and the ESPN personality had a lot to offer in the first half of Saturday’s Las Vegas Bowl between Florida and Oregon State.

McAfee was in the dressing room with Dave Pasch and Kirk Herbstreit, and Laura Rutledge was the sideline reporter for the game.

McAfee was met with mixed reactions, as several fans loved his approach to calling the game, while others thought he sounded like he was “auditing for a spot as pro-wrestling executive.”

Oregon led Florida 10-0 at halftime after a field goal was blocked.

Here is an example of the reaction:

Sorry @ESPNCFB. I can’t watch your game if @PatMcAfeeShow provides comments. That ? Mcafee needs to realize it’s not just about him, people have been tuning in to see Florida lose, not him as he auditions for a pro wrestling manager commercial.
