Pat McAfee’s urge to make Kirby Smart bark gets awkward

ByNBAUSA



Georgia football is enjoying a phenomenal season. Currently the No. 3 ranked team in the nation, Georgia has a stake in being voted the best team in college football. They are 11-1 and will surely be the favorite in the College Football Playoff. However, the The Bulldogs must get past the No. 9 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide to cap off a successful season and win another SEC Championship.

Ahead of the much-anticipated showdown between the SEC powerhouses, Georgia’s head coach Kirby Smart joined ESPN’s College Gameday to preview the game and share your thoughts on the SEC Championship Game. However, things turned awkward when the eccentric host Pat McAfee tried to get Smart to bark like a dog in front of the home crowd at the Mercedes Benz Superdome in Georgia.

Out of the blue, McAfee asked Smart, “Do you bark at people?”

Smart quickly replied, “No,” to which McAfee shot back, “Why not?” As if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, McAfee then barked in Smart’s face, prompting the head coach to say, “That’s your business,” before smiling. Although Smart didn’t give McAfee what he wanted, he stated, “I’m going to hurry, bro.

Surrounded by his peers, McAfee continued the charade, asking Smart if he was “barking well.” Clever, seemingly done with the piece, he tells McAfee, “I’ve never been a good barker.” In a last-ditch effort to get the Georgia Bulldogs coach to take a break, McAfee barks in his face three more times to the tune of Smart: “Absolutely not.”

McAfee is a popular guy who can get most of the crowd together. But on the eve of Georgia’s biggest game of the season, Smart clearly had no interest in returning any of McAfee’s demands. Keep in mind that Smart is a two-time national championship-winning head coach and is looking for a third. Visualize Smart barking at the camera on the brink of an SEC Championship.
