Are you a fan of a college football team in the south? If you are, then chances are that so is country music star, Kenny Chesney. Needless to say, Chesney is not the most popular person among the southern college fan bases, mainly because he’s always making his rounds proclaiming to be a fan of a different school in some way.

Now in actuality, as far as we know, Chesney is mainly a lifelong Tennessee fan, so when it was announced on Wednesday that he would be the College GameDay celebrity picker for this Saturday’s stop to Columbia, South Carolina for the game between the Gamecocks and the Missouri Tigers, people were…not pleased.

I'm not thrilled about Kenny Chesney being anywhere on anything, but, um, guest picker for Gameday? You won't remember it Sunday.
