Knoxville, Tennessee, witnessed a lively scene on Saturday. President Donald Trump attended as the No. 1 team in the country was in town. Holly Rowe and Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian had their first encounter since he abruptly ended their interview after upsetting Ohio State. Johnny Knoxville was ESPN College Gameday’s celebrity guest picker, bringing his unique humor to the event.
Knoxville, dressed as a Tennessee Volunteers football player, delivered outlandish remarks reminiscent of his antics on MTV’s “Jackass.” During the game between Tennessee and Texas, Knoxville offered his humorous insights and predictions.
McAfee Album Punishment
Choosing the winner of the Missouri vs. Mississippi State game, Knoxville humorously targeted Pat McAfee’s musical pursuits. “I’m so sure about this game, if Missouri loses, I’ll punish myself by listening to Pat McAfee’s new album on repeat until Halloween,” he quipped. McAfee laughed, while Knoxville added, “No offense.” McAfee was present alongside Nick Saban at the University of Tennessee.
Gout vs. Syphilis
In picking between Georgia and Oklahoma, Knoxville compared the teams to medical ailments. “For me, this is like rooting for the gout versus syphilis. I’ll take Georgia,” Knoxville stated. Pat McAfee covered his face, and Kirk Herbstreit reacted with disbelief. The statement added to the humorous tone of the segment.
Lane Kiffin is Like Toe Fungus
As LSU’s Lane Kiffin faced jokes for his rough exit from Ole Miss and recent loss against his former team, Knoxville didn’t miss the chance to poke fun. “I don’t know how anyone can root for Lane ‘Left Out in the Parking Lot’ Kiffin. He is to college football what toe fungus is to flip flops. I’m going with A&M,” Knoxville announced.
UT vs. UTI
When Tennessee fans had to choose the winner between Texas and Tennessee, Knoxville made a bold prediction. “After the game today, Tennessee will remain the real UT, and Texas the real UTI,” he declared. Rece Davis and Desmond Howard were taken aback by the statement but not surprised given his prior remarks.
The crowd greeted President Trump with enthusiasm. Trump, who attended more college football games than recent presidents, watched the showdown between the No. 1 Longhorns and the No. 14 Volunteers. Knoxville’s appearance, filled with his distinctive humor, added a unique flair to the day’s events. During an interview, he jokingly offered a referee a $20 bill, embodying his PG-13-rated guest persona.
