If you’ve ever spent a Saturday morning getting hyped for college football, chances are you’ve seen him — Lee Corso, larger than life, wearing mascot heads, cracking jokes, and bringing unmatched energy to ESPN’s GameDay set. But now, after nearly 40 years, the moment we all knew would come is finally here. Lee Corso is stepping away this August.
📺 The Voice of Our Football Saturdays
For many fans, Corso wasn’t just a TV personality. He was tradition. He was that fun uncle who made college football feel like a celebration. His iconic catchphrase, quirky predictions, and playful back-and-forth with co-hosts became as much a part of game day as the kickoff itself.
🧡 More Than Just Mascot Picks
Yes, we loved his headgear antics, but Lee brought more than laughs. He carried wisdom, heart, and a deep love for the game. Whether it was his thoughtful insights or the sparkle in his eye when talking about the teams he coached or admired, you always felt like you were learning from someone who truly cared.
📅 August Will Be Bittersweet
Mark the date — August 30, 2025. That’s when Corso will make his final appearance on GameDay. It’s going to be emotional. Fans across generations will be watching, probably tearing up a little, and remembering the decades of joy he brought into their homes.
🌟 A Legacy That Lives On
Lee Corso may be stepping off the stage, but his impact is forever etched in the soul of college football. He didn’t just entertain us — he made us feel connected, excited, and proud to be fans of the sport.
So here’s to you, Coach Corso. Saturdays won’t be the same without you, but your spirit will live on in every cheer, every rivalry, and every young fan you inspired.
Not so fast, my friend? This time, yes — but you’re leaving with nothing but love behind.
