Outkick founder Clay Travis kicked off his college football bus tour with herschel-walker” target=”_blank”>Herschel Walker<.
Walker, a Heisman Trophy recipient, told Travis on “fox-friends-weekend” target=”_blank”>Fox & Friends Weekend<.
“I have the left, and even the right, coming at me sometimes,” Walker said. “Right now, I don’t like what’s going on in this country.”
If elected, Walker would unseat senate Sen. Raphael Warnock in 2022.
“I see so many things that I disagree with, that’s not the American dream I grew up around, not an American dream that I want to be in this country,” Walker said. “So I’m going to fight.”
Travis said he’s noticed an “anti-American” sentiment in sports culture but feels that tone could change this season.
“I was at the Tennessee game against Bowling Green,” Travis said, “people just started spontaneously chanting, ‘U-S-A!’ I think we’re seeing a blowback in the other direction where people are ready to embrace America and embrace the excellence that this country represents.”
Many universities increased stadium capacities this year, reversing many of last season’s attendance limits due to COVID concerns.
“I’m not sure any sport lives off of the enthusiasm of its fans better than college football. It just brings a different element,” Travis said.

Next week, Travis will be live from Fayetteville, Arkansas for the Texas-Arkansas game; then travels to Gainesville, Florida for the Alabama-Florida showdown.
The first three stops on the Outkick tour are set, but Travis hasn’t decided where he will go after that because he wants to see which college football matchups end up being the most important on a weekly basis. He will announce the next stop every Wednesday on “Fox & Friends.”
