Will you be watching Lee Corso's going away party?

But wouldn't it be nice if there were a nuts-and-bolts Saturday morning preview show where the top half-dozen or so games received in-depth breakdowns as opposed to a scripted variety show with three hours of yammering and yuk yuks?

Exactly. I'd take 2-3 more serious Dan Orlovsky-types talking ball and breaking things down with a weekly Rinaldi story to change it up, and maybe 1 or 2 of the quirky things *MAX* per week. But this needs to be a freaking football show. I used to love stuff like Edge NFL Matchup with Suzy Kolber, Merrill Hoge, and Ron Jaworski. Learned a lot of football from their breakdowns talking scheme and game planning. That's missing so much in today's football coverage.
 
No disrespect for Corso, but shame on him & ESPN for dragging this out too long. He lost his fastball a decade ago & it’s been painfully sad to watch. His appearances weren’t whimsical or funny. Lou Holtz hung around past his expiration date & the same is true with **** Vitale.
 
Bunch of grumpy sad people in here.

Grew up with Corso and Gameday was a pillar of my childhood mornings. Begged my dad to take me to Gameday anytime it came to Miami. I will never forget going with him in 2000 for the FSU game. Like Corso, my dad is in bad health but still fighting to enjoy every moment of life.

No, the show isn't the same. That doesn't diminish the memories of when it was in its prime. I'll be watching and emotional.
 
Absolutely. He is the Mr. Rogers of my generation. I grew up on College Gameday and Lee is a big part of that. He's easily my favorite Nole lol.

Fun stat is he has the same amount of interceptions at FSU as Deion while a 2 way player.

Think how you're gonna feel in 2045 when Mario's gone 6-6 for the third straight year but an 87-year-old DanRad's afraid to fire him
 
Corso’s shtick was fun 20 years ago but it’s embarrassing seeing them wheel him out every week and mumble some nonsense.

Honestly I gave up on Gameday when they changed their theme music to some country fried cornball SEC honky tonk crap. I know it’s their job to suck off the SEC but not everyone watching ***** their cousins.

The 90-year-old ex-coach with the sub-.500 record makes his 430th and final appearance on ESPN's cash cow before Saturday's matchup in Columbus between Texas and Ohio State.

Gotta be honest. Hold My Beer aka Grumpy Cane will be sitting this one out. Too much I just don't want to endure.

No. 1) Insufferable Ohio State fan base

No. 2) Were you aware that the Texas QB is the grandson of Archie Manning and the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning? ESPN will be revealing that news during the show.

No. 3) Desmond Howard. His mouth is moving, but yet he never says anything worthwhile. How is that possible?

No. 4 and by far the biggest reason) Won't be able to stomach Kirk "Herbie" Herbstreit sobbing uncontrollably in the clutches of his support dog while Corso waves goodbye with Brutus Buckeye teetering on his shoulder

Spoiler Alert:

I just took a couple screenshots from the leaked ESPN files of this video abortion that will happen this weekend:

Unpopular opinion but I’m excited for him to get off the TV. It stopped being endearing years ago.

It’s just awkward and eye roll inducing at this point

I don't think your opinion is unpopular at all. I think we live in a world where people are afraid to say things like what you said for fear of retribution. As such, we get spoon fed bull$h!t by the shovelful and asked to enjoy it. Most people just grin with $h!t in their teeth and say yes, it's so delicious. Not me. And obv, not you either.

I don't want to watch a drooling old man get wheeled out in front of the cameras for one more hoo-rah before he croaks. This is giving me D!ck Clark Rockin' New Years Eve vibes.

I met Corso in the airport gate area the morning after the great comeback win over Louisville (2004). Corso was the in the booth for that game. Everybody was giving him crap at the airport. He took it pretty well.

ESPN now praying for Feinbaum to have amassive cerebral hemmoraghe so they can wheel him into Corso's chair.

Since when did the FCC allow floppy penises to be aired on nationally televised programming? The National Religious Broadcasters, the Parents Television and Media Council, and the American Family Association all have their lawyers ready to keep ESPN ****-free.
