Bristol, CT - Today 10:15am SPORTS BRIEFS
ESPN has announced that Lee Corso will retire from broadcasting. Corso, a former college football coach, has been an analyst on the popular College GameDay broadcasts since it's inception in 1987. He is most well known as the comic foil among the various GameDay broadcasters and for wearing the mascot's headgear of the team he has selected to win the featured contest each weak. Corso will be replaced on the GameDay set this fall by former coach, Al Golden, who was recently released as head coach of the University of Miami Hurricanes. Golden is expected to carry on the headgear tradition and also offer comic relief similar to Corso's role.
