Pat McAfee gifts Arizona couple new Dodge truck
Cliff and Jenifer Vellucci of Buckeye hit the road to catch every single ESPN College GameDay event and got a big surprise, courtesy of Pat McAfee.
A married couple from Buckeye, Cliff and Jenifer Vellucci, embarked on what they called "Cliff and Jen's Excellent Adventure," a cross-country road trip following ESPN’s College GameDay show for an entire football season. Driving 24,000 miles in a 2025 BMW they were leasing for work, the couple spent 107 straight nights on the road, staying at hotels and friends' homes.
ESPN took notice of the Velluccis, especially Cliff's American/Marine Corps flag, and eventually gifted them tickets to the College Football Playoff national title game in Atlanta. While at the event, Pat McAfee unexpectedly offered to buy them a Dodge Ram truck. The couple, surprised and humbled, accepted the generous gift. Unfortunately, the truck, which features a diesel engine, has proven challenging to maintain due to rising fuel prices. Additionally, the vehicle's size makes it difficult to fit in their garage.
