Gameday did a really nice job celebrating Corso's last show. Love him, like him or dislike him, he's a legend and institution and a person that tried to make things fun.
He'll be missed!

I don't know how anyone could dislike the guy based on outward appearances alone, dude is a legend!

Fantastic!

Loved his shtick! Made it a lot of fun and will miss seeing his quirky stuff. You can definitely tell Father Time had caught up to him. Best to you Mr. Corso!

Not going to lie, I got choked up. Thank you coach for being a part of my Saturday's for 30+ years.

They handled the transition well, with Corso being involved in a more limited fashion these past five or six years. Won't be the same with him gone from the show, but Gameday will remain an institution (sorry Big Noon Kickoff) regardless. And I've warmed to McAfee a bit after they stopped pushing him to the front and center of nearly every segment.

I haven't watched the show closely for awhile now. Just not as good as it used to be IMO. But will have to go back and watch this one when I get the chance. Corso was the best part of the show.

Another highlight was kid trying to win $250,000 by kicking a 33 yard field goal off the grass. Won't spoil it for you.

He was entertaining for sure. A good reminder sports are supposed to be fun.

Roommate of Burt Reynolds and Ron Fraser.

“In the off-season, Corso serves as Director of Business Development for Dixon Ticonderoga, a Florida-based manufacturer of writing and arts products, including No. 2 pencils (one of which he can always be seen holding on College GameDay). In 2001, Corso spearheaded an effort to create a crayon completely out of soybeans.”
