Lee Corso predicts 5 wins for Michigan on College Football Live

Is a dumbass.

Good god people, its one commentator who thought Michigan wouldn't do well. Take it easy, we're talking about a game here. You guys are getting way too wound up over this. Life's a lot more fun when you can just say "meh" to items like this. Some people will be high on Michigan this season and some will be down on Michigan. Plus, people on this site tend to over-rate Michigan, because they see all these awesome kids Michigan has, and don't see the development that goes on under other coaching staffs.

To be fair, it's a week before the season starts and one of the most prominent faces in CFB just went on TV and said UM is going to regress by two wins next season despite returning a slew of starters, the defending B1G offensive POY, and some NFL-caliber players on both sides of the ball. When your whole argument against that is "their schedule looks tough," people tend to get worked up. And with Corso, there has always been some residual bitterness with him toward UM - if I could find some of those clips from both 1997 and 2006, you'd see Corso consistently took the negative view of UM in big games throughout those great seasons.

Lee Corso is a douche...5 times over
August 27th, 2011 at 3:53 PM ^
i hate corso (and so should you).
i cannot remember an ann arbor gameday show during my undergrad (and we had many) where the boo-birds didnt drown out his every word.
what drives this feverish hatred? i'd like to introduce into evidence to the mgonation exhibit A, also known as "1997."
“The schedule is too tough for them to have a great year,” said ESPN analyst Lee Corso. “In college football, you’ve got to have margin of error in there…You have to be able to have an off week... Michigan has no chance to have a great football season, in my opinion. They play too many good teams that are as good or better than they are, and a lot of them away from home."
i cannot find the stat, but he went on to pick against us in almost every game on gameday that year.

What's funny is his reasoning; this is probably the most favorable schedule we have seen in a while. We might only win 5, but it won't be due to an unusually tough schedule.

Lee Corso is the Dick Vitale of football - bad coach, worse commentator! Who cares what that ass says?
August 27th, 2011 at 6:12 PM ^
If my memory serves me correctly, I thought DIck Vitale was more the John Madden school of commentating i.e a good coach, but annoying commentator. .

I dont know about you but i think Hoke has turned the tide and its a good start.

not this shit again
August 27th, 2011 at 5:28 PM ^
He's less useful.
August 27th, 2011 at 5:32 PM ^
to cancel the season. Corso is always right.
August 27th, 2011 at 6:31 PM ^
Let's just hope Skip Bayless doesn't say we'll win 8 or 9 games. He really is a curse.
August 27th, 2011 at 7:12 PM ^
Not so fast, my friend
August 27th, 2011 at 7:23 PM ^
It's not beyond the realm of possibility.
If the defense shows only marginal improvement, and the offense takes a huge step back, we'd probably be looking at 5 or 6 wins.
August 27th, 2011 at 7:35 PM ^
if the defense has no talent, that is one thing. I'd like to think that unlike last year, our coaching will make a difference as the season progresses.

Gameday was in LA for the SC-UCLA game in 2005. A buddy and I went to the basketball game afterwards and as we came out the Gameday crew was still there doing their late night wrap-up show. We stop for a second to listen and just as we do some dirty homeless dude staggers up next to us, looks over as if he has no idea that a television program is being taped or that Corso has been on TV for years commentating on games, and he just shouts:
"Hey, Corso! What was your fucking record at Indiana!"
Then he just drunkenly staggered off.
I don't have kids, but if I ever do I doubt their births could ever top that moment.

moron.
August 27th, 2011 at 8:48 PM ^
I'm pretty sure he was referring to this:

Damn, I was beaten to the punch.
Oh well, this picture is so good, I'm glad its posted twice.
August 27th, 2011 at 11:25 PM ^
He was just equating people on this board with THAT guy. Actually, he's still a moron.
August 28th, 2011 at 10:20 AM ^
Say what you want about him, but I tend to agree with his sentiment.
Lee Corso predicted we would not do well this year, and people are up in arms about hit, calling him names, etc.
I have actually seen several people make fun of the stroke he had and the ones he will have in the future.
Granted, I think the guy is past his prime, but when I first got into college football, I loved the guy. He really gave some personality to the pre-game show that the NFL on FOX/CBS/etc guys never could. So I think I will respectfully disagree with Lee on this one and leave it at that.
August 27th, 2011 at 10:10 PM ^
I don't see what the big deal is. Why should we even care what his prediction is? Predictions are fun to do, but no matter how hard you study this stuff, no one knows what's going to happen for sure. Maybe the D barely improves... maybe they get way better. Maybe Denard struggles in the O... maybe he's just as electric. Corso thinks we're gonna stink, most of us (including myself) don't. We'll see.

It was not college football live, but that is beside the point.
Anyway, I think predicting 5 wins is a tad ridiculous. Although I did say that in 2008 and M went 3-9.
