Lee Corso hangs them up

[RyanCuse44]

i'll always remember lee putting on ottos head on the quad and then calling little kids midgets when they pick yale over harvard

Class act. Irreplaceable.

Lee Corso's college room mate was Burt Reynolds and they remained friends for over 60 years.

End of an era that I don't want to end. Stinks, in his prime he made College Gameday. Sadly, it has become unwatchable for me with that obnoxious big mouth, McAfee.

Came here to post this. “Not so fast, midget” was my all time favorite.

Fowler: “Midget?”

I didn't see if they posted it, but I assume his last headgear will be the same as his first. Texas at Ohio State that weekend.

Great memories over the years. When they tell the story of how college football became so nationally popular over the years, he's a big part of it.

I'm hoping to find a bar/TV inside Mercedes Benz Stadium to watch his last episode which is right before our game.

 

[SUalldway]

Yeah, but McAfee is too much for me.

McAfee gets way too much espn related air time already

 

[PAcuse]

Yeah really don't want to miss his last gameday
What a legend

Kirk Herbstreit is continuing to swing Orange in his decor.
Could've been influenced by his older sons' college choice, but that's over.

Funny enough, I was enjoying an alternate to regular ESPN slop for a few months with his crew, Their podcast was pretty good too.

Then he went to ESPN and I was like "oh, maybe that'll bring me back..."

Between the WWE infusion, every special event at ESPN, Gameday, his daily show. I checked out of ESPN as soon as the CFB season was over. I heard he was at the MLB ASG. The boomers must have loved that lol.

I wonder if they will have someone continue the headgear tradition. Not sure it would work, Corso made that.
As for McAfee, I watched his show a few times. I get why it is popular, especially with the younger generations. I'm not a Boomer (Gen X) but I can only take him in small (very small) quantities. His schtick is obnoxious to me. Stand up on the chair/table, be loud, get the crowd to chant something. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I'm Gen X also and agree with your thoughts about Pat. As far as Lee, personally I wouldn't continue the headgear with anyone else. I think that should be left as part of Lee's legacy.

Only person who could do the headgear would be Kirk but I don't think he will and it will be retired.
Also GenX, loved Pat as a player, his show is super meh, and I do really like him on gameday. I get his stick is basically the same thing but he is funny and his relationship with Saban is great.

Gen Xer here too. The next time I’ll watch GameDay will be after McAfee’s been replaced.

One of his best moments:

That was my favorite moment as well. Just seeing everyone's reaction was hilarious.

This was my other favorite:

Watching this Corso tribute show on ESPN right now. Making me weepy. What a legend

 

[CuseCactus]

I gotta find that show. I’ll definitely tear up. The best thing in the world, for so many years, a fall Saturday morning and Game Day is on.

It's being repeated throughout the next week on ESPNU, such as tomorrow at 6pm. Also on ESPN2 tomorrow morning at 9am.

 

[anomander]

Wait they did his last show on week 0? It’s not next week?

No it’s next week. There’s a documentary about him and the role he’s had in college football / game day.
