Question: Is Lee Corso returning to College Game Day?

[Heavy D]

I have not heard. Does anybody know if he will be back?

 

[colbysullivan]

Not so fast my friend!

 

[derek4tide]

Yes. He is on their promo page for 2010 at espn.com.

 

[BAMAFEVER50]

Hopefully he will continue to improve. Amazing he got back as quickly as he did.

agreed, he sure does make saturday mornings fun!

I do love College Gameday. They have great chemistry.

I hope not.

The stroke really put a ding in his ability, but I hope he continues to get better and returns next year.

He's really improved, though, and I believe he will continue to do so, failing another stroke...

I agree. The guy is a great inspiration for anyone who has been through that. The amount of speech therapy he had to go through was immense, I'm sure---would've been easy to give up and retire, as I'm sure he doesn't "have" to work any more...

but I, for one, really enjoy seeing and hearing him on gameday. In fact, it's gonna be a sad day when this crew eventually has to change. They've become such a tradition over the last twenty or so years---more an "institution" than anything. Gonna enjoy it all while it lasts, though!

Does anyone remember or have a link to his babbling during the halftime show at the CSCCG? He sounded like he was upset at the way we were winning.......

20 years? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they have been around anywhere near that long!?

The show started in some capacity back in 1993...so almost 20 years.

Corso's rant against Texas during halftime of the BCS game was one for the ages. I'm actually kind of glad the remnants of the stroke were still there because he might have let a few expletives fly had he been able to get them out!

According to Wikipedia, it started in 1987 with Corso, Tim Brando, and Beano Cook.

Corso has been around since 1987
Fowler since 1990
Herbstreit since 1996

So this current crew has been around for 14 years.

I was too slow...:tongue:

 

[theBIGyowski]

Yes...the show was strictly in the studio until 1993...which is when the current format started.
