Lee Corso is a college football legend, and his legacy on ESPN’s “College GameDay” is rich and hard to top.
Corso has been one of the premier college football analysts in the nation for nearly 40 years. He’s been one of the “talking heads” on ESPN’s “College GameDay” for 38 years, but his impact on college football is even deeper than that.
Corso’s last broadcast will be on Saturday, Aug. 30, from Columbus, Ohio, as “GameDay” prepares for the season-opening clash between Texas and Ohio State.
Corso, 90, will be doing his final “headgear pick,” which has become an iconic part of Saturday mornings for generations of college football fans. He’ll then be signing off and saying goodbye to the show he’s been a part of since 1987.
On Thursday, ESPN announced that on the Friday evening before Corso’s last show, it will air a one-hour special dedicated to Corso called “Not So Fast, My Friend: A Lee Corso Special.”
That will air on Friday, Aug. 22, at 9:00 p.m. ET on ESPN, and it will re-air on ESPN2 on Saturday morning.
