Lee Corso

One of the few ESPN employees that I can actually stand. Insert an East Tennessee accent and that’s about what my Grandpa sounded like toward the end. He’s probably mostly there mentally but his body is probably just quitting on him. Feel terrible for him

Dick Vitale, for the time being, still has spatial/situational awareness. I get that a lot of people don't like his style, I personally think he adds a good bit of excitement in spite of his somewhat grating approach, but it's more or less the same as it was 20 years ago.

He's got another three or so years before it's necessary for him to step down, although with his recent triumph over cancer I think he gets a combo comeback/goodbye tour this year and calls it a day after the season.

My biggest problem with Vitale is the random tangents he goes on about one of the blue bloods, during a game in which they’re not playing. UT vs. AU, he’ll go down a rabbit hole to mention UK (or Cal), Duke (or K), UNC (or Roy), KU (or Self) Boeheim or Pitino, with no relevance to the game he’s calling.

Met Corso several years ago in DFW airport. Was very cordial, signed a piece of paper I had. He's not the same since the stroke, for sure.

Whoever mentioned Spurrier as a potential replacement, that would be wildly entertaining. But here's a name that I think would be great on TV: Ed Orgeron.

Yea its time to hang it up, he had a good run

This is elder abuse. Change my mind.

Orgeron might be the only guy less coherent that Corso.

I work on Saturdays. Have for most of my life. At 10:50 am ct, I make a habit of closing my office door and watching Corso's pick. It always puts a smile on my face. Sometimes has me laughing out loud. It's going to suck when those days are over.

I don’t care cause I rarely watch but why not give Lee a short segment to pick HIS game of the week. He can do it from home and focus on one game.

He’s as old as Elvis and Majors. Is Gene Stallings still alive ? I know we have lost alot of the older coaches from my childhood.

Yes. Stallings is still with us
