Lee Corso Returning to FSU for Reunion, Expected Tribute at Miami Game

Florida State expects to honor the 90-year-old alumnus during the ABC-televised rivalry night.

Overview

  • Corso plans to attend the 'Nugent's Boys' gathering in Tallahassee on Friday, Oct. 3, followed by the Florida StateMiami game on Saturday, Oct. 4 at Doak Campbell Stadium.
  • Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC, which has selected the rivalry as its national game of the week.
  • FSU says a game-day recognition is planned for Corso, though specific details have not been finalized, according to an athletics spokesperson.
  • Organizers say the reunion of Tom Nugent’s former players has dwindled to fewer than 10 members, making this likely the group’s final meeting.
  • The visit follows Corso’s retirement and final College GameDay broadcast on Aug. 30, while any GameDay presence in Tallahassee on Oct. 4 remains unannounced and is being discussed as likely by media observers.
