【视频】Pat McAfee骑马进《大学比赛日》现场：全美停飞次日骑马穿过博伊西人群，自称从没骑过马
ESPN《大学比赛日》分析师Pat McAfee于11月14日上午在爱达荷州博伊西市骑马进场：全美停飞次日，他骑着一匹名叫Rodeo的深色马穿过博伊西州立大学校园里的人群，来到节目现场，这一入场片段随即在社交平台疯传。
节目开场时，主持人Rece Davis先向观众交代，过去两天的出行混乱也困住了McAfee，希望他能赶到现场。McAfee随即在画面外回应说，不用担心飞机，也不用担心汽车。镜头随后切到身穿深色西装的他坐在马背上，挥舞博伊西州立大学的旗帜，由工作人员牵马穿过密集人群走向演播桌。
下马后，McAfee对人群说，这个周六将是神奇的一天。他随后点名感谢自己的坐骑：这匹马名叫Rodeo，谢谢它没有把他甩下来。他还坦言，自己以前从没骑过马，为了让这次入场成真，他确实骗了节目组。
这场骑马入场借的正是前一天的全美停飞。据《体育画报》报道，联邦航空局11月13日美东时间下午3时45分下令全美航班停飞，停飞持续四个多小时，到当晚8时15分才解除，是2023年1月以来首次全美停飞。俄勒冈州立大学队当时尚未出发前往博伊西，一度备好巴士作为应急方案，最终在周五晚间飞出。
本场《大学比赛日》是该节目自2010年以来首次重返博伊西，当年博伊西州立以37比24击败俄勒冈州立。本季博伊西州立战绩8胜1负、Pac-12赛区5胜0负，排在大学橄榄球季后赛排名第24位；俄勒冈州立战绩5胜4负、赛区3胜2负。两队比赛于美东时间下午6时在USA Network播出，前博伊西州立跑卫Ian Johnson任本场嘉宾预测员。博伊西州立的骑马传统始于1965年，当年一匹名叫Spyieche的马开始在每次得分后绕场一周。
节目官方账号在X上发帖称，别担心，McAfee已经找到来到博伊西的路。ESPN官方YouTube频道随后发布了这次骑马入场的完整片段。
[Video] Pat McAfee Rides a Horse Into College GameDay in Boise After the Nationwide Ground Stop, Admitting He Had Never Ridden Before
ESPN College GameDay analyst Pat McAfee rode a horse into the show on the morning of November 14 in Boise, Idaho: one day after a nationwide ground stop, he rode a dark horse named Rodeo through the crowd on the Boise State University campus to reach the set, and the entrance quickly went viral on social media.
As the show opened, host Rece Davis told viewers that the travel chaos of the previous two days had also stranded McAfee, and that the crew hoped he would make it to the set. McAfee then answered off camera, telling Davis not to worry about an airplane and not to worry about an automobile. The broadcast then cut to McAfee, in a dark suit, on horseback, waving a Boise State flag as handlers led the horse through the packed crowd toward the desk.
After dismounting, McAfee told the crowd that this particular Saturday was going to be a magical one. He then thanked his ride by name, saying the horse's name was Rodeo and thanking it for not bucking him off. He also admitted that he had never ridden a horse before, and that he had lied to let the entrance happen.
The horseback entrance played off the nationwide ground stop of the day before. According to Sports Illustrated, the Federal Aviation Administration halted departures nationwide at 3:45 p.m. Eastern on November 13, and the stop lasted more than four hours before it was lifted at 8:15 p.m. Eastern, the first nationwide ground stop since January 2023. Oregon State had not yet left for Boise when the planes were grounded, set up buses as a contingency plan, and flew out on Friday night.
This College GameDay visit was the show's first return to Boise since 2010, when Boise State beat Oregon State 37-24. This season Boise State is 8-1 overall and 5-0 in Pac-12 play, ranked No. 24 in the College Football Playoff rankings, while Oregon State is 5-4 overall and 3-2 in conference play. The game kicked off at 6 p.m. Eastern on USA Network, with former Boise State running back Ian Johnson as the celebrity guest picker. Boise State's equine tradition dates back to 1965, when a horse named Spyieche began running a lap around the field after every score.
The show's official account posted on X that fans should not worry, because McAfee had found his way to GameDay in Boise. ESPN's official YouTube channel then published the full clip of the horseback entrance.
