Lee Corso Plans Florida State Homecoming for Oct. 4 Miami Game

Florida State says it expects to honor the 90-year-old broadcaster during the game, with specifics still to be finalized.

Overview

  • Corso plans to attend the Oct. 3 Nugent's Boys reunion for Tom Nugent’s 1950s Seminoles, which organizers say is likely the final gathering as the group has dwindled to fewer than 10 members.
  • He also plans to be at Doak Campbell Stadium on Oct. 4 for Florida State–Miami, set for 7:30 p.m. ET as ABC’s national game of the week with both teams currently ranked in the top 10.
  • An FSU athletics spokesperson said the school expects to recognize Corso during the game, though the form of the tribute has not been determined.
  • College GameDay’s presence in Tallahassee is being discussed by media outlets as a possibility, but ESPN typically confirms locations about a week before the show.
  • The trip would be among Corso’s first public appearances since his Aug. 30 farewell broadcast that capped nearly 40 years on ESPN’s College GameDay.
