Lee Corso's Final GameDay Set for Columbus

News summary

Lee Corso, the 89-year-old ESPN College GameDay analyst and former Florida State player and coach, will make his final on-air appearance during Week 1 of the upcoming college football season, covering the Ohio State vs. Texas game in Columbus. While Corso's family and many fans hoped his farewell would be at his alma mater, Florida State—who hosts Alabama in a high-profile game—College GameDay selected the Ohio State-Texas matchup for its national significance. Corso is widely credited with popularizing college football through his 38-year tenure on GameDay, his signature mascot headgear picks, and his catchphrase, 'Not so fast, my friend!' His son, Dan, expressed disappointment about the venue choice but acknowledged the excitement and legacy surrounding Corso's sendoff. The selection of Columbus is notable as it was where Corso first donned a mascot head in 1996, sparking a beloved tradition. Corso's final show is seen as a fitting tribute to his enduring impact on college football and sports broadcasting.
