Rece Davis Discusses Future of College GameDay Headgear Picks After Lee Corso's Retirement

Lee Corso, the longtime ESPN College GameDay analyst known for his iconic headgear pick segment, will retire after one final show on August 30, marking the end of an era in college football broadcasting. Corso's headgear selections, where he dons the mascot of his predicted winning team, have become a cherished tradition over his 38-year tenure. Following the announcement, co-host Rece Davis emphatically stated that the headgear pick should retire with Corso, calling it his 'signature moment' and expressing strong opposition to anyone else continuing the tradition. Davis argued that the segment is uniquely associated with Corso and should not be passed on, despite its popularity with fans. While other hosts like Pat McAfee have brought new energy to the show, the consensus is that College GameDay will evolve without replicating Corso's trademark segment. As Corso steps away, the show is expected to find new ways to close out its weekly episodes.
