Very nice article on Corso and how ESPN has helped him through College Gameday since his stroke.
Obligatory:

Kirk's reaction is one of the best ever!

Even though he's clearly not 100% I still enjoy seeing him on my TV every Saturday.

It was tough at first, because like many other...you want the best to go out on top. You want to see Jordan vs. the Jazz - not struggling to dunk in a Wizards uniform.
But sometimes you just have to appreciate greatness and understand that it's earned to go out how you want to go out.
It's still tough for me to watch him struggle, but it's nice to know he's doing what he wants to do and everyone is aware of the struggles.

82 and eight years removed from a stroke
That's damn impressive that he can keep on doing his thing. Just the travel alone would do in most people.

Or when they were down last night, dude was rolling out the excuse train for them.

At one point in the 3rd last night, 21-20, Herby said that IU probably has the best QB/WR group that OSU will play all year. I'm hoping I missed some supporting context, because I flipped over to check the score and caugh that. I listened in disbelief for a few minutes more, and I'm pretty sure he meant what he said about IU. Unfuckingbelievable! That takes being a homer to a new, and awesome, level...

I could name Cobbs and that is about it.

Like I said, in order to compromise and cope with him not being at 100%, I think they should have him on only for the last half hour of the show to do one segment and then make all the picks.

Good point.
Let him ride out into the sunset on his own terms.
We're good with it.

Dude. This one isn't about us. (even if you are correct)

You won't be saying that when you punk a$$ is that old.

Think he's great. He even had a nice little stint in the booth tonight.
I met him in the stadium concourse in the mid-90s (might have been the 1994 Penn State game?), he was just walking around before the game. Couldn't have been nicer. Took a picture, chatted for a minute, gave us a Go Blue, the whole deal. Nothing but respect for the guy.

''This job is like stealing. I travel first class in a nice plane. I have a driver waiting for me. I go in a room and have room service. I have a meeting. Then I go to the best game of the weekend and talk football - and they pay me. You gotta be kidding me,'' Corso said. ''Why the hell would I leave something like this?''
Love this. Sounds like the greatest retirement on earth.
September 1st, 2017 at 12:04 AM ^
Agreed, Corso can go out on his terms. Always seemed like a class act and very genuine human being. The more sightings we can have of Corso the better. If it weren't for him and Herbstreit, Saturday mornings of college football wouldn't have been the same.

Hope he has a few more years left in him. Will be sad day when he hangs it up!
Not so fast my friend.

He was much better than I thought he would be. That was kind of risky, really.

If they replace Corso with Les Miles, it might get even better. If it's Mack Brown, gosh it's gonna be unwatchable.
September 1st, 2017 at 11:46 AM ^
for Les Miles.
September 1st, 2017 at 10:44 AM ^
Corso evidently going full Strom Thurmond!
September 1st, 2017 at 11:11 AM ^
Let a younger person get a shot. He's been entertaining to watch through the years but know when to fold em' as Kenny sang.

Should have double covered that guy in the #1 jersey.
