ESPN has agreed to a multiyear contract extension with Lee Corso, the 81-year-old star of ”College GameDay.”
Corso joined ESPN in 1987 and has been part of the popular college football Saturday pregame show ever since. His head-gear game predictions, off-the-cuff analysis and signature line – ”Not so fast, my friend” – have endeared him to generations of college football fans.
The head-gear picks started in 1996 when Corso donned the head of Ohio State’s Brutus Buckeye before a game in Columbus with Penn State. He is on target to make his 300th head-gear pick during week six of the upcoming season.
In the spring of 2009, Corso suffered a stroke at his home in Florida, but returned to be part of the first ”College GameDay” that season.
