That's a fair point. I don't really watch ESPN except for college football, tennis (which they barely have anymore), and college gameday. I don't hate ESPN like a lot of people do, but I just choose not to spend much of my free time in front of a TV.

# | End of an Era: Lee Corso announces retirement from College GameDay Yeah, this
Corso was great because seeing him on Saturdays was a special thing. It was a unique experience every week, and that goofy ass personality made the show feel special and important.
McAfee is on ESPN for his show unfiltered for 15 hours every week before you get to GameDay, and that's without him appearing as a guest on any other show. Its complete oversaturation that just has you completely sick of it real quick.
Not to mention, he basically does the same show the day before at the same sight. Add: He gives the worlds biggest douche aaron rogers a platform now.
It's sophomoric at best and adds nothing.
He's had some comments that I found hilarious. The 'let a naysayer know' comment had me rolling. At Utah, he could've kept his shirt on, but I literally spat my coffee out when he made the soaking comment.
My biggest beef with him is that he makes the show about himself instead of the sport and the school he's visiting. When he takes a step back, and stops making it about himself, he actually fits in pretty well. His arrogance is obviously his weakness.
Not unpopular at all! Can't stand watching him - actually didn't watch once last year for the first time ever.
But those weren't beer cups! Soda snake doesn't have the same ring to it, lol. Hard to believe how much soda the students drank at those games (wink, wink).

Go Big? ONLY 1000 cups? At a VT game when I was a student in the mid 80s against (I think ) Duke where we were up 30 or so late in the 3rd (ah those were the days), the student side built a stadium cup chain that stretched from field level to the top of the East side of the stadium -row 5P! Not sure how many cups it was but SIGNIFICANTLY more than 1000. Each cup only added 3/4-1" to the chain. It even had the announcers commenting on it especially since the game itself was boring at that time.
Yes, actually lol I was wondering if you had anything to do with it once I saw it was your firm on the drawings. I've got a PM ready to run the job but are rapidly growing in RVA so I was hoping to keep my younger PE/onsite guys here, but it looks like I may have to spare one of them for the summer and find more people here locally.
Agree that it is unwatchable drivel now

# | End of an Era: Lee Corso announces retirement from College GameDay Hot take and probably unpopular but McAfee is a complete over the top douche that is only where he is because of that; not for his sports knowledge or intellect. Loved him as a player but FFS get off my TV screen!

Got to give the Defenders Social media team credit for this tweet. Simple yet Savage after a win.

agree that Saban is arguably the worst coach you can get for that role. If his name was smith and coached at Buffalo, he would not have gotten an audition of course. Dry, quiet, no energy- I agree- Dan Mullen would have been much better and given you equal "coaching" insight. But, as soon as I pour my cup of coffee I look up and that fucking moron with the fake rodeo belt buckle is standing on his chair singing some school chant smacked out on coke. It's sophomoric at best and adds nothing. He's not original or funny. He's rich with alot of baller friends- that's his super power. Nothing more.
Personally I think Pat does a great job of offsetting Saban's lack of personality. I'm not the biggest fan but I think their dynamic on the show makes for a good broadcast.
If everything breaks perfectly, the league might survive past this season. Get to a game while you can.

# | End of an Era: Lee Corso announces retirement from College GameDay I know CGs, but now he can run for president.
I think you meant 14,000. Yes I have been to a couple games at Audi Field. Rowdy environment as they get alot of DC United crossover. They set a beer snake goal of 1000 cups in the end zone each game and come close or surpass it most games.

Legend, and a great guy. Sad to see him go, but we all reach that age at some point. Enjoy the pool Mr. Corso. Now if they can get rid of the screaming coke head the show would be watchable again.
WHERE AM I?

# | End of an Era: Lee Corso announces retirement from College GameDay I wish him well, but it's time. I got the feeling over the last couple years they were sort of parading him out there similarly to the last couple seasons Madden was doing games or Lou Holtz was at the desk - more for the "sizzle" than anything else.
286-144 in his 430 selections
Honestly I'm a bit surprised the percentage is as high as that. It used to be pretty standard procedure to bet against the team Corso picked to win.
Probably ends up at North Dakota State winning multiple Natty's.
/S?
Pop OR Ryan or Brand I think surpass him if this new offensive style works. If it fails and Pry is gone, so many players will leave it would be silly to project anyone currently on the roster for something like that.
"Lightning struck my car." I'll never forget watching that storm roll in from the East stands.
