Do You Take Lee Corso Seriously?
I was walking to the track to take the boys through their penalty sprints this morning, when a random kid crossed my path.
"Whoa! Can you believe what Lee Corso said about us Saturday?! He’s SO STUPID! He picked ____! I can’t believe it!" I nodded and said something about Corso being a no-nothing assclown, figuring that’d be the end of it. It was not. He told me all about a letter he’s writing to ESPN, chastising them for allowing Corso on the air. So that’s when I asked him, "Do you take Lee Corso seriously?"
"Well yeah, don’t you?! I mean, he’s a freaking ESPN analyst. He’s supposed to know what’s up! This is total bullshit!…" You get the idea.
Now, I used to be one of the idiots that got up in arms about the College Gameday crew predictions (not quite on this level though). It wasn’t so much that they picked Team A over B or Team Y over Z that made me mad; it was the ridiculous logic they used to justify their calls:
–> A dramatization:Lee Corso: Michigan will beat No-Trah Dame because No-Trah Dame will be looking ahead to Michigan State AND looking behind against Penn State!
Kirk Herbstreit: But Michigan has been a long time rival of the Irish, I can’t imagine Notre Dame not taking them serious–
Corso: Not so fast, my friend! *slams fist on desk* The Irish WILL look past the Woooolveriiiiines.
But as soon as I wised up and accepted the fact that some of these goons don’t know what day it is — that Lee Corso is nothing but a clown present to entertain the drunken Gameday horde, that Lou Holtz’s reasons for Notre Dame beating Team X is just as mentally defective as Mark May’s reason that they’ll be blown out by 20, that Chris Fowler’s just lucky he’s not doing women’s basketball on the Deuce — I directed my rage at other happenings.
There’s just no logical reason to take these jerk-offs seriously. So the next time you get your panties in a bunch over these frauds, remember this picture and know that there’s a reason Lee Corso is hanging out at College Gameday instead of the sideline where he thinks he belongs

the dramatization was a fucking riot, not to mention, completely on point.
Wherever Gameday is next week, someone should attend and hold up a copy of this picture blown up to poster size in the background.
Knowing that he’s insane is the only way I can stand watching him. His picking Arkansas to beat USC for what seemed to be no other reason than USC being due to go down was way too much to handle.
I won’t be the least bit surprised when the dramatization turns out to be a verbatim conversation between Corso and Herbstreit on Saturday morning.
I had no idea Corso helped along the losing tradition at IU. Am I right in assuming he left their program in even worse shape than he found it?
hahaha, the 2nd picture is a work of art! Where’d you find that?!
Herbstreit has more brain than everyone in the Gameday and Scoreboard crews put together
LMAO!!!! You’re awesome.
On a side note -
Reason number 1,332,849 to hate ESPN:
They have chosen the USC/Nebraska game for the location of GameDay this weekend over both Auburn/LSU and Tennessee/Florida. What a freaking slap in the face to the SEC.
Pen – looks like ABC wins out over the flagship station of the SEC – CBS

lol When you can’t make it at IU, you’ve got a serious problem.
How can anyone take Corso seriously?
Why is it a slap in the face, Pen? There are 4 games between traditional CFB powers happening this weekend. ND/Michigan is on NBC, USC/Nebraska is on ABC, and the 2 SEC games are on CBS. Should Gameday go to one of the two SEC sites and promote the game that’s not even on their network when they have a traditional power matchup in USC/Nebraska? That’s ridiculous!
Joey, rank the games for me then. If it was any of the other three games, I have no problem but USC vs. Nebraska? Come on now. Nebraska shows up to play football for the first time this decade, and they just happen to be playing against the only pac-10 team that is worth a shite. I guess maybe that justifies it. ESPN knows that the only other chance they will get to have a GameDay at USC will be the Cal game, and obviously Cal is on the verge of imploding.
I am not even going to adress the “traditional power” comment. You want tradition, we could say that UT/Vandy or UT/Kentucky is a “traditional power” matchup. That is what is ridiculous … you pretending that 2006 Nebraska even belongs in the same sentence as Florida, Auburn, LSU, Tennesseee, Notre Dame, USC, and Michigan.
My biggest problem is really with ESPN. I thought GameDay was about the best game that week. If it is just a public relations push for the ABC game, then say so. It should be the best game of the week, though.
Sweet Jesus in a speedo..righteous pics of Corso! Kudos..
I just about pissed myself with the dramatization. That’s dead on
I wish we could get at least one Saturday per season though where we actually get to know what Lee Corso thinks. I know he’s paid to be an assclown but I’m just curious if his opinions are as absurd as his act.
I just don’t think they’ve made such a horrible move considering the big games happening on Saturday are all featured on the big network channels. And with the SEC and Notre Dame having their own hype stations in CBS and NBC, what does it matter if Gameday actually attends? Other than Notre Dame, the nation’s biggest football interest story is USC and you think they’re not gonna promote that when the team is playing on their own channel? That’s not a slap in the face when the SEC has its own network channel (which is accessible to more people than ESPN) doing its bidding ALL day.
UT/UF and AUB/LSU didn’t disappoint
