The highly anticipated Alabama Crimson Tide and Texas Longhorns showdown is less than 24 hours away.
As we mentioned earlier in the week, “College GameDay” is headed to Austin for the showdown. However, a cool little wrinkle has been added. Popular sports media personality Pat McAfee has joined “College GameDay” full time and will make his debut this week.
In addition to “College GameDay,” Fox’s “Big Noon Kickoff” will be in Austin. This is very interesting because Alabama hasn’t played on Fox in mroe than a decade, so it will be the first time this crew covers a Tide game.
While many are disappointed this game did not receive a prime-time slot, it is a can’t-miss matchup.
