Lee Corso, the 90-year-old face of ESPN’s “College GameDay,” will make his final appearance on the pre-game show this Saturday when the broadcast originates from Columbus, Ohio, ahead of the Texas–Ohio State matchup. The show marks the end of a run that began nearly four decades ago and introduced college-football fans to Corso’s trademark mascot-headgear picks, first donned in 1996. Southwest Airlines marked the occasion with an impromptu ceremony at the gate as Corso boarded his flight to Columbus. A gate agent presented the former coach and longtime analyst with a commemorative photograph and champagne, drawing applause from passengers and crew. Corso joined “College GameDay” in 1987 after coaching stints at Louisville, Indiana and Northern Illinois. Despite suffering a stroke in 2009, he returned to the set and extended his on-air partnership with analyst Kirk Herbstreit, helping the program become a Saturday morning staple for millions of viewers.
