Lee Corso still going on 'GameDay' with help from his friends
Lee Corso looks down at his notes and asks: "How do you say this guy's name?"
"Stid-um," Kirk Herbstreit responds and then begins to spell Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham's last name for his longtime ESPN "College GameDay" partner. A few letters in, Herbstreit reaches over and says, "Here, let me get that for you."
Herbstreit writes the name on the sheet of paper, and then they ready themselves to record the next segment.
Now 82 and eight years removed from a stroke, Corso is back for a 30th season on "College GameDay." He can still energize college kids on a Saturday morning like a free-beer tailgate, and for millions of viewers the games don't begin until he dons a mascot head and picks the day's marquee matchup. But getting Corso through a show also requires some help, both on the air and behind the scenes. At times his contributions are off topic. Names come out wrong. Words can escape him.
Herbstreit, Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, David Pollack and the rest of the "GameDay" crew have adjusted. Instead of Corso's limitations hindering the show, they make it more compelling. It feels real, not staged, and for live TV, that's usually a good thing.

Do you think he'll pick Ohio State tonight?
Any college football fan who starts Saturday on the couch knows the morning leads to one thing: Lee Corso making his pick on ESPN’s College GameDay with one team’s headgear.
On Oct. 5, 1996, Corso made his prediction for the Ohio State-Penn State game by wearing the head of Brutus. Watch the video here. It delighted the crowd in Columbus, Ohio, so Corso realized he was onto something – and he hasn’t stopped in two decades.
Corso was correct with his pick, as the No. 3 Buckeyes trounced the No. 4 Nittany Lions, 38-7. Corso has gone on to make more than 250 headgear picks since that day in Columbus, and it’s hard to imagine fall Saturdays without them.
Alabama has been picked the most by Corso with 24, according to ESPN. But the Buckeyes were in second at 20 picks.

Always a good re-read. 1977 article about Corso while he was at Indiana. And yes, all the shenanigans you've probably heard about are 100% true.

Just noticed this during an ESPiN segment showing Corso in his youth.
When they get around to filming his biopic, the casting office needs to get Oscar Nunez' agent on the phone.

Well, you know he mentioned more than once the idea that "when you die, a part of you stays with your players."
It really made we wonder if there's something else going on, and that's why all the attention from his former school & players, and the indulgence from ESPiN.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Not so fast, my friend: A stroke couldn’t rob ESPN’s Lee Corso of ‘College GameDay’
Lee Corso shuffled hurriedly out of a room in a building near Bridgeforth Stadium on James Madison University’s campus, offering his apologies and a firm handshake on a misty Friday morning.
He didn’t want to keep anyone waiting. An assistant was helping him type his final script for the following morning’s “College GameDay,” the ESPN program he helped launch in 1987 that has become a Saturday-morning staple for college football fans across the nation.
The script, which Corso had been working on since Monday, was almost exactly what he planned to say on Saturday’s broadcast, and he’d been learning his lines all week. It’s a necessity nowadays, eight years after he suffered a major stroke that makes it difficult for him to talk — sometimes his speech is slightly slurred and he mispronounces words. He may hesitate or stutter at the start of a sentence, and he can’t ad-lib on air like he used to. But he can memorize a script, and that helps Corso, 82, stay on track.
More importantly, it means he can still slip in a few quips throughout the show.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Did Lee Corso Stop A Game To Take A Scoreboard Picture?
The Legend
During a game in the 1970s, Indiana jumped out to an early lead against Ohio State. Hoosiers coach Lee Corso was so excited to be ahead of the Buckeyes that had his players pose for a picture in front of the scoreboard.
Did It Really Happen?
Probably not.
The Facts
Ohio State has completely dominated Indiana in football for most of their long series history.
OSU leads it 73-12-5 all-time. What’s even crazier is that Indiana won five of the first six matchups and tied the other one. That means since 1914, the Buckeyes have a 73-7-4 record in 84 meetings.
One of the most extended periods of dominance came while Woody Hayes was coaching the Buckeyes. He lost his first matchup with IU in 1951, tied them once in 1959, and completely obliterated them in every other year.
At one point, the Buckeyes went more than a decade without trailing IU in any game.
That streak ended during the 1976 matchup.
The game was in Bloomington and started like most OSU-IU games did. The Bucks jumped out to an early 6-0 lead.
But in the first minute of the second quarter, according to a 1977 Sports Illustrated article by John Underwood, something bizarre happened.
Indiana scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. Lee Corso, the Indiana coach, immediately called time and huddled his players on the sideline, where he had a photographer take a picture of the happy group at an angle which allowed the scoreboard to fill the background: INDIANA 7, OHIO STATE 6. Asked why he did this, Corso said, “It’s the first time in 25 years Indiana has led Ohio State in a game. I looked it up. Can you believe it? Twenty-five years! The goal of a lifetime!”
Sadly for Corso, the lead did not last. OSU went on to win the game, 47-7.
That’s one version of the story. However, there are some immediate red flags.
For instance, Indiana led the Buckeyes 10-7 at halftime of the 1965 game, just 11 years earlier. Not even close to the 25 years Corso claimed.
A bigger issue is that Indiana University’s official archives have not been able to locate the supposed photo.
The photo at the top of this article is from the IU Archives file on the 1976 OSU/IU game, but they don’t have the scoreboard photo.
According to their records, “there is no mention or photo of such an event in the following Monday’s (Nov. 1, 1976) Indiana Daily Student.”
They also cite an anonymous player from that team who says it didn’t happen.
Ohio State’s archives don’t include photos from the game because it was on the road.
Additionally, neither The Indianapolis Star, nor The Columbus Dispatch, nor The Lantern recap of that game mention the scoreboard picture.
