  1. It would hilarious if somebody with time on their hands go back the last 10 years of his interviews and spliced it together of him saying in the spring “this team is looking better than last year” or similar.

  7. https://www.tallahassee.com/story/sports/college/fsu/football/2025/04/17/lee-corso-headgear-picks-florida-state-football-games/83139372007/ A college football tradition will see its final installment at the start of the 2025 season when Lee Corso makes his final headgear pick on ESPN's "College GameDay." The pregame show has developed into a cultural phenomenon since it first went on the air in 1987, and it's largely thanks to Corso, a star in his playing days at Florida State and a beloved, energetic coach in college and the USFL. ESPN announced April 17 that the 89-year-old Corso would retire from the network after the Aug. 30 show kicking off the new college football season. It's hard to imagine Saturdays in the fall without the fun-loving Corso making his pick in front of a raucous live audience, eagerly waiting for him to put on the head of the home team's mascot. He's put on just about every team's mascot outfit, none more than that of Brutus Buckeye, the one that started it all. Corso has picked Ohio State 45 times throughout his game-picking career. What about his alma mater? FSU has hosted "College GameDay" nine times since "Sunshine Scooter" started his tradition, and Corso has made headgear picks in 28 games involving the Seminoles, according to Cole's Gameday Blog, which has tracked every one of his famed selections from across the decades. Here's a look at the history of Corso's fan-favorite tradition, as well as his record picking FSU games: When did Lee Corso start headgear? Lee Corso started the tradition on Oct. 5, 1996, when he put on the head of Ohio State's mascot to announce his pick of the No. 3 Buckeyes to beat No. 4 Penn State at the Horseshoe in Columbus, Ohio. They walloped the Nittany Lions 38-7, and a new tradition was born. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Since then, Corso has made many a viral video with his picks. He nearly fell out of his seat firing a gun for Oklahoma. He let an F-bomb over the air when tossing aside an SMU megaphone in favor of Houston's Shasta head. He had live gators alongside Emmitt Smith to pick Florida. And who can forget him bringing Uga onto the desk before saying "that dog is ugly!" and picking Alabama. Lee Corso headgear record Lee Corso has made a total of 431 picks involving some sort of mascot costume since first donning the Brutus head in 1996. According to Cole's Gameday Blog, which tracks big-name predictions across a variety of sports, Corso has been correct on 66.59% of those picks, going 287-144. Lee Corso headgear record picking Florida State According to Cole's Gameday Blog, Lee Corso has made headgear picks for 28 FSU games. The first came Nov. 8, 1997, when he picked his alma mater, ranked No. 3 in the AP poll, to defeat No. 5 North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was right: FSU won 20-3.

Delivery: Thurs Your Email His most recent headgear pick involving the Seminoles came during the COVID-shortened 2020 season, when he correctly picked Miami to beat FSU in Mike Norvell's first season. Corso has been on a roll picking FSU games: He's got a 13-game winning streak that goes back 16 years. The Seminoles are 15-13 in games involving a Corso headgear pick. He has picked his alma mater to win all four national championship games in his time on "College GameDay," going 2 for 4 with those picks.
