Lee Corso signing off Saturday

[lastlapuncle]

Will miss the "Lee's headgear"tradition.Hope they don't let Mcafee do anything but clean the Port-a-potty on Saturday's.But,it has come time for Lee to say "It's time".

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Yeah
Similar to Vitale.

It's almost like they want them to die on air. Would make for good ratings I suppose.

This Gameday in Columbus Saturday will be Lee Corso's last game. He wanted to end his career where he started. His first ever headgear pick was in 1996 in Columbus. He was no Keith Jackson but has been a part of my college football experience for 30 years. I will miss him. Especially now that ESPN is going to the Frat bro's like Pat McAfee.

An ICON of my era. God Bless! You will be missed!

That’s the perfect description

Honestly, I don’t understand Pat’s appeal. Some people love the guy.

My 18yo son and his friends say he's what makes GameDay watchable. I guess its just the passing of time, my grandmother loved Lawrence Welk and I found him painful to watch.

Farewell, Coach. It was fun watching you on Saturday since day 1.

 

[GordonC]

He and Mowins are the worst hires ESPN has, IMO

You are fixin to trigger @508mikey bc he a big mowins fan....
Im gonna miss Corso

 

[IndianaVol]

Another legendary career comes to an end.
Thanks for everything coach !!!

I'll miss him, heck I have missed him. The last couple of years you could tell he was slipping...funny how we notice our loved ones age.

Happy retirement...I hope you get to enjoy many, many years.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

At best a mediocre coach, but utilized his zany personality to the highest level. Hat's off to a great career. That being said, I won't miss him

 

[StarRaider]

Corso has had one hell of a career. Personally, it felt like he was going to retire around 16 years ago after he had that stroke but Lee persevered despite major health issues. Hopefully LC has some joyful remaining years.

While it’s time for him to retire, he will be missed. I’m not a big fan of the over the top McAfee.

I'm not either. I think McAfee's language is a big turn off to what he might have to offer.

I've actually gotten use to Mowins more recently since they are giving her more commentary across the platform. They gonna slide her in a prime time slot at some point

 

[obxvol]

Corso is in a class all his own. He truly loves the game for all the right reasons. He will be missed on air. Hopefully his demise will be a classic “Not so fast!” with some great years still to come.

I've been watching SEC Nation instead of GameDay for a while now.

Corso was great at his job. I'll watch his last day.

 

[Delmar]

Haven’t watched Gameday in several years primarily because of McAfee. His schtick is unwatchable for me. If I want to see that mess, I’ll tune in to pro wrestling. But I also can’t take much of Howard or Herbstreit either. Much prefer SEC Nation. (Probably because I prefer the focus on the SEC and nothing on the Big 10.)

 

[Tin Man]

Lee Corso turned 90 on August 7, 2025. How many of us will see our 90th birthday? How many of us would be able to dress out for a Game Day appearance at 90? Though I find him likable, you don’t have to like him to respect him. We will inaugurate him into Journalists Over Ninety on Saturday. My regard, JON!

All these morning football shows are for the low IQ viewers.

I can stomach them, but regardless of anyone's take on Herbie, I have great respect for how he helped "manage" Corso all these years after his stroke on camera and helped him get through the broadcasts.

 

[theFallGuy]

I don't understand anybody on these shows. Give em' a microphone and a platform and they just spew sh*t

that sounds like half of the VN posters also. Give them a platform and......

 

[chuckiepoo]

Laaura Rutledge is very easy on the eyes. Nice legs… definitely an SEC Nation guy.

I do watch the last ten minutes of Gameday.

The SEC is a ESPN affiliate. When are we going to get some southern representation on Game Day?

My complaint for decades. Gameday is, has been, and appears to forever be Big10 and Notre Dame centric.
