I don’t either but it’s rather sad as he stutters through or can’t think of what it is he wants to say. They’re always correcting him. The guy loves football but I’m afraid it’s time to move on.

Maybe give him a special segment from home and let him don the head gear remotely

I heard from a friend who heard from his Uncle Daddy's Nephson that ESPN requested a jar of peanut butter and 5 minutes alone with Smokey. Sounds like Corso to me.

So ESPN forces Corso to do these shows?

No, but they continue to trot him out there as he stumbles and stammers trying to complete his thoughts. It’s sad to watch. It’s not fair to the man regardless of whether he still wants to be on set.

Who are you to say what’s fair for him or not? Dude has, what, maybe 10 more years on this planet? If he wants to spend it on the set of College Gameday, then let him. No one’s forcing you to watch and I certainly hope at that age my kids aren’t telling me to stop and shoving me in a nursing home.

It's Corso's show, even in his current state he's the only thing worth watching. I don't place any value on anything else in that show as it's become mostly these maudlin, emotionally manipulative stories of players/coaches/fans overcoming some sort of adversity instead of analyzing, you know, football. Then you have this cast of characters:

Rece Davis: tolerable in spite of his roots, Davis's most redeeming quality is that he replaced Chris Fowler, a man so smug and pompous that even career politicians look at him and think, "Whoa dude, tone it down a bit."
Desmond Howard: a diversity hire. No, not black people, stupid people. I honestly can't tell if he's just pretending to be a moron because it seems to come so naturally to him.
David Pollack: a cipher. They could have an empty chair and it would provide as much content.
This Year's Instagram Model: enough said.
"The Bear": he's only there for the degenerate gamblers, there's literally no other reason for him to be on the show.
Pat McAfee: clearly being groomed to replace Corso, either that or to appeal to the closeted homosexual demographic.
Kirk Herbstreit: living proof that Trump was wrong. We don't need a wall on the Mexican border, we need one on the Ohio River.

No, this show was only ever about Corso. He knew that he was there to provide a little bit of football insight but mostly to entertain and he never took himself seriously. This show was best when it was small and honest and just having fun and talking about college football, but now it's just another cookie cutter TV production. It got way too big, way too overproduced, and way too full of itself, when the only thing it ever needed was Corso, a straight-laced analyst to act as Corso's foil, and a TV pro to move things along. Sadly, I think Corso personifies this show now: diminished capacity, a shadow of what it once was, something that keeps being rolled out for Saturday mornings even though it's way past its prime.

SEC Nation is a far, far superior show.

Pat McAfee should have stayed in WWE calling wrestling matches.

If they were going to replace Corso, they should’ve done it years ago when this dude was still on the payroll.

Kirk tweeted days ago that "the ENTIRE game day crew" would be in Knoxville, so I guess we get LC. The show has gotten worse over the years, even with Davis replacing that pompous twit Fowler. They take up way to much time with "player grew up on welfare now doing good" and the obligatory "cripple kid of the week" segments. Don't get me wrong, I feel for those folks, but I want to see analysis. If I wanted that stuff I'd watch something like Lifetime? Go Vols! Buck Fama!

Don't think I'm a fan of that phraseology: "cripple kid of the week". The story a few weeks back about Dametrius Walker was pretty outstanding, a number of them have been. Just turn it on for the last 15 minutes of the show to catch the predictions.

Looks like some of these posters would rather watch the whole show and spend their Saturday mornings being mad at something that has zero effect on them

I think you got it wrong brother. I bet this is one of the last things Lee is hanging onto and his family wants him to do it to stay sharp. I can see him almost doing the show for free just to continue doing what he loves and having a purpose.

Great work virtue signaling there. It is called humor. Humor from someone who does not worship at the altar of Wokeness and Political Correctness.
