I thought their line-up was pretty good, overall. I agree with the article's observation that they are taking a risk, having really sold that crew as a brand. I am sure they did some research on why this move makes sense, but on the face of it, just seems odd.

I am thinking the 'Women of Fox News' would make this a better show. they are much better looking.

Yep. Acting the same way he did at the ESPN Zone. He thinks pretty big of himself. I would think working on set with former superstar athletes and champion coaches would bring his ego down a little, but nah...it hasn't.

I like the one where he's hugging that girl and acting like a creepy stalker. I'm telling you he's a lonely, depressed d-bag who screams at people like a hollywood superstar if he doesn't get his coffee the minute he asks for it.

Totally agree with you. Can't understand why ESPN hasn't forced him into retirement. Instead they roll him out for the NFL Draft, MLB Allstar game and NFL Superbowl and Pro Bowl coverage so he can rattle off his childish catch phrases. He is overplayed.

I could probably live without Corso, but I would still miss both he and Fowler on there. It wouldn't seem right.

I do like the Rece Davis suggestion that someone else mentioned as a replacement for Fowler if this does in fact happen.

ESPN GameDay to change hosts: Lee Corso and Chris Fowler are out.

Im not a big fan of either but dear lord PLEASE let them find someone OTHER than Holtz to replace Corso. If he is named as a Gameday personality, I will never ever watch another Gameday broadcast. Kirk is the best person they have on that show, maybe even on the entire network.

"Kirkstreit" is a Big Ten homer who's never shown much respect for the SEC in general and UT in particular. It'd be nice to see Fowler and/or Corso replaced with a user-friendly sports maven with a Southern perspective for a change - someone like Woody Paige.

What about Carrot Top to replace Corso's antics, and Bobcat Goldtwait for Holtz' speech impediment?

God this thread got my hopes up! I hate Fowler, he doesn't know football from tennis. I would like to see Mark May and Reese Davis. I know Davis is a bama grad but he would be better than Fowler hands down IMO.

Amen. Rece brings that SEC perspective too, being from Muscle Shoals, Ala.

Are you kidding? One thing I've always liked about Herbstreit is that he knows a good bit about UT and other SEC schools. Some of yall need to quit playing the "ESPN hates us" card.

And there's no way I believe this rumor. Why would ESPN change all the hosts of one of its most popular shows because some people at Home Depot want them to? I'm sure they could find other sponsors.

I would have to agree with this post...Herbstreit is the only game day host that I like that does not have a biased opinion..He is pro SEC and seems to be a closet UT fan. He has picked UT several times against the odds

Uhhh... could you imagine the signs at Gameday if he were there? Just think of how brutal they were to Corso and mulitply it by 2X...

Knowing how much ESPN hates us anyway.You can imagine the powers that be saying well CLK takes over for CPF.The vols are on the upswing why not have the ex coach takes on his old job's replacement and continue to stir the pot of the biggest story in college football.Anyone who can't see this coming is not drinking the same kind or amount of Kool-Aid as I am....I give it a 50/50 chance of actually happening.

If May or Holtz end up on the show, I will never watch again.

Both are far and away the worst people covering college football on ESPN.

This is just that...A rumor...Think about it...The reason there are so many hate signs is the exact reason they will keep them...It generates news and that is all that ESPN is about whether true or not...It drives them and this will not happen

Changes at ESPN's CollegeGameday? - Maize n Brew


Now we're getting wind that ESPN, in their infinite wisdom, might be ready to yank Corso and Fowler off the set. Their replacements? Lou Holtz and Karl Ravech. I like Ravech, I like baseball tonight, and generally I think he'll do a fine job in Fowlers seat. My problem is that Fowler didn't need replacing. He is the most consistently likable personality on the entire network.

The one caveat to this whole thing is that the people pushing for the changes are not ESPN. Rather, according to the original report, they are the execs at Home Depot, the primary sponsor of the show. As the original report states, it will be interesting to see how much influence Home Depot has over talent changes at the network. With economic times being what they are, bler bler bler, the answer to that question could very well be "quite a lot." My guess is that Home Depot has some power in this relationship because no other corporation wants to take on the presumably hefty price tag of being the primary sponsor.

honestly, just another reason to get an extra hour or 2 of sleep for Saturday morning. I like Ravich for Baseball Tonight, but I think it's a horrible move by not putting Reece Davis in Fowler's spot. And as much as I hate Corso, he's far better the Holtchzzz. If they were going to change it up it should be....

Reece Davis, Mark May and Herby with Desmond Howard and Todd McShay on the sides

just another dumb move by ESPN, and the ratings will tell them so in the fall.

I lost interest in College Gameday in 2005, briefly regained interest when Cutcliffe returned to Knoxville, and gave up all hope toward the beginning of last season. Maybe if Tennessee is good this year, I'll enjoy watching Gameday again.

I'll admit to liking the current lineup quite a bit, insofar as it goes, but the thing that makes the biggest difference to me is whether Tennessee is competitive.
