Lee Corso Says Life After College GameDay 'Sucks'

The 90-year-old broadcasting icon says the shift away from ESPN’s College GameDay has been hard to accept.

Overview

  • He told WESH reporter Daren Stoltzfus that this fall has felt "lousy," adding he "can't watch College GameDay" since stepping away.
  • Corso retired earlier this year after 32 seasons on the show, capping one of college football television’s most recognizable runs.
  • He said he misses the weekly travel and work routine that had long defined his Saturdays.
  • His final appearance came in Columbus for the Ohio State–Texas matchup, closing a presence on GameDay that dated to 1993.
  • Colleagues, including Kirk Herbstreit, have praised his enduring impact, from the mascot-head picks to his "not so fast, my friend" catchphrase.
