The sixth-year ESPN analyst is no stranger to divided opinions at the Rose Bowl. It happened last year and it's happening again this year.

Pat McAfee's energetic and conversational style of commentary has once again sparked a debate among college football fans. The former NFL punter is known for his lively and informal approach to calling games, which stands in stark contrast to the more traditional style of commentary. As part of ESPN's Field Pass broadcast, McAfee got the nod again after calling last year's Rose Bowl between Michigan and Alabama.

Others praised the energy and humor that McAfee brings to the table, saying, "Listening to the field pass broadcast with the Pat McAfee crew and it's awesome. These guys are the best!"

However, not everyone was impressed with McAfee's style. Some fans found his commentary to be distracting and unprofessional, with one person saying, "Pat McAfee is the worst sports announcer I've ever heard lmao." Another X user commented, "Why are they letting Pat McAfee do this to the Rose Bowl?"

Ultimately, whether or not you enjoy McAfee's commentary is a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer the more traditional style of commentary, while others find McAfee's energy and enthusiasm to be a refreshing change of pace. What's clear is that McAfee's unique approach to calling games never fails to generate strong reactions from fans.
