Good To See Ya Coach

[Boom_70]

It's a welcome sight to see Lee Corso back on the set of Gameday. It would not be the same without him .

Who's that?

 

[Flying Headbutt]

Amen to that. Gameday without Lee Corso just wouldn't be the same.

 

[Steak Snabler]

Yeah, I dug up the old Corso thread and posted on there before I saw this one.

He sounds OK. Not quite as motor-mouthed as he used to be, but it's not like watching/listening to Mike Gottfried, which is just hard to sit through.

Welcome back, Corso. Though I'm way more happy to see Kirk. YUM!!!!!!!!!

Best Corso story I ever heard:

Corso went 41-68-2 at Indiana. He also managed to get a Hoosiers lead against Ohio State for the first time in 25 years — he called timeout in the 1976 game and had the team pose for a photo in front of the scoreboard — before the Buckeyes won 47-7.

My favorite Corso story is when he took the Indiana job and told boosters, "we're going to have a Rose Bowl team here next year." He then went out and scheduled a home game with UCLA, which had been in the Rose Bowl the previous season.

Heard a similar story about Brad Scott. When he first got the South Carolina job, an excited booster told him "coach, we're going to the Sugar Bowl!"

Scott replied, "Great! Get me a ticket. I'll sit with you."

After they got beat by USC in another game, he reiterated that. "I told you we were going to bring a Rose Bowl team to Bloomington, and we did today."

Corso found out he got fired by Indiana when he was on his way to Fort Wayne to recruit a promising young defensive back named Rod Woodson.

I love these stories. Nobody ever came closer to making losing look fun than Corso. If you know you're gonna lose, I guess that's the best way to do it.

That. Is. Awesome.

Not a Corso fan (being a San Diego State grad, shouldn't be too hard to figure out why) ... but glad he's recovered.

Call me clueless, but why does being an SDSU grad make one anti-Corso?

Yeah, I'm a little confused as well. Are you saying Corso cost Marshall Faulk the Heisman?

I disagree. Eric Crouch over Rex Grossman was worse.

There is no winner among those two.

Jason White just called me from the break room at Wal Mart and said "no so fast my friends."
