As ESPN College GameDay fans know by now, legendary analyst Lee Corso will be making his final appearance on the Saturday program on Aug. 30.
Corso’s retirement signals the literal end to an era of ESPN’s college football coverage, and this year’s ESPYs made sure to give the network great a very wholesome tribute during the broadcast for his 38 seasons of exemplary work.
Corso was on hand for Wednesday’s ceremony in Los Angeles, where he was celebrated in the most Corso way possible. Like, this Corso-themed jamboree is just perfect for our favorite mascot-head wearing college football expert.
The joy in Corso’s face during this wonderful tribute radiated throughout the Dolby Theatre.
Like, c’mon, this is delightful. Corso is good people, and he deserved this moment and more.
