Deadspin
We'll confess: We have a rather difficult time thinking of Lee Corso without mentally referencing the Lee Corso slo jam, via the indispensable Every Day Should Be Saturday. This is the soundtrack that rolls around our brains all day.
We know, it's pretty much the exact opposite of college football season right now, but Lee Corso himself is timeless. We hope to someday see him put on the headdress of Chief Illiniwek during an Illini prediction at some point; we doubt he knows much about the whole "controversy."
But let us know: Do you like the Lee Corso? Do you not like the Lee Corso? Vote, people!

I'm gonna go with APPROVE!!
/puts on Lee Corso head and waves
I voted, saw that he had a 100 percent approval rating, and was about to post an astonished reply.
Then I realized I was the only who had voted.
he's like your crazy uncle who you DON'T like
Approving Corso is essentially approving penises on television.
I know he's a weak link on the best pre-game show on ESPN, but he's on the best pre-game show on ESPN. He has to get some credit for that.
Approve. Sheer energy and good in the commercials.
I approve of anyone who wears a merkin.
No offense to Corso, I just had a very bad pencil incident as a child.
Is it true how they say he is gifted?
Only joyless motherfuckers vote no on Lee Corso.
That being said, his face is absolutely horrifying in person.
You have to hand it to the man - he does a helluva Mel Brooks.
Yeah, he's alright. I am concerned that one day he'll get trapped in a giant mascot head, but he's ok.
Corso's shtick was old 10 years ago. Dick Vitale has nothing on this guy.
I approve of his merkin.
Taylor Rain is the only woman who has ever fully accommodated Lee Corso.
@Camp Tiger Claw: Then I'm joyless.
He just sounds like the Dick Vitale of ESPN College Football. And we should be subjected to only one Dick...
Approve, my friend
Harold Reynolds gets fired for a hug at Boston Market, meanwhile Corso gets nary a warning about calling Herbstreit "sweetheart" every week? Doesn't seem fair.
His career coaching record is 73-85-6, including two Bowl appearances in 15 years.
According to Wikipedia, he also spearheaded an effort to create a crayon completely out of soybeans.
Disapprove.
Let's show corso!

Corso is all right. I don't mind his 'put on the home team's mascot's head' schtick.
As someone who isn't a registered college-football fan, I'm waiting for Rush Limbaugh to tell me how to vote so that I can weaken Gameday.
He coached Indiana, people. In football. That's a huge no.
*Puts on indeterminate mascot head*
Joe Buck may be a schmuck, but Corso is more so. So I vote no.
Lee Corso. Proving a mediocre coaching career doesn't mean you can't still mean a college football expert since 1969.
He has always been a big fan of Tedford's Cal teams so for that I approve.
He is the epitome of an old man trying desperately to relive the "college experience".
I approve of the baby arm.
As a Michigan fan, I always root for Corso to put on the Buckeye/Sparty/whatever else head when they are playing Michigan. I would venture a guess that his record picking games is worse than his record as head coach.
Disapprove
How can you disapprove of a man nicknamed the Sunshine Scooter?
I approve Corso based on his "Ask Corso" play calling for NCAA Football 2006
He's like a set of fingernails screeching down a chalkboard. I love the NCAA series of videogames, but Corso's commentary makes me want to eat a bullet. He's actually more obnoxious than Madden.
That's a no.
@StevePerryPsychOut: Gauge disagrees.
I chose "Ask Corso" and it said to vote for Corso
So, by voting "approve", does that mean that I take Lee Corso seriously? Because I don't, but I approve of his entertaining methods.
@Brazil Thrill:
Technical on Brazil Thrill. Flagrant Two.
How is there not a www.fireleecorso.com website?
Or a www.firecamptigerclawforapprovingleecorse.com website?
Also was roommates with Burt Reynolds at FSU.
More relevant:
Lee Corso or Burt Reynolds?
@MickelsonsManBoobs:
Every time I press it, he recommends I use a "three wood" with a "feather touch".
Wait, wrong game...
Corso is terrible and having worked with this crew in person, all three are jerks.
Once, on one of the old NCAA Football games, they let you create your own sign. I created a sign that said "Lee Corso is a Douche" and the sign did not ever appear in the game.
However, every other sign I created did show up.
Conspiracy? You decide...
As a lifelong San Diego State University fan (there's like three of us), I still harbor a bitter resentment towards him for putting on a Gino Toretta mask when making the case that Gino was more deserving of the Heisman than some guy named Marshall Faulk.
I disapprove of Corso, but him and Herby need to stay on the air so I can read the Gunslingers blog every week during the season.
Seriously, he is perfect in his role. He adds some levity to Herbstreit and Fowler, yet provides fair/defensible, i.e., not outlandish, analysis. I wholeheartedly approve.
I also like Dickie V., but his shtick can interfere with the game, Corso is built for the pregame show and the three man booth. Actually, I would suggest that more folks would support him based on his actual color commentary on Thursday nights than because of his Gameday exploits.
/Sunshine Scooter backers know it is closer than the experts think.
Disapprove. I met him at the Orlando airport a few years back. Nice guy, right up until he asked my wife if she wanted to get a drink with him. She laughed at the old man. I didn't.
He's a dope but he is an old, affable, enthusiastic dope. Fine by me.
@crazyjoedavola: Could have been worse...could have been Berman dropping a YWM,L on your old lady.

Not so fast my friend! Approve. Best pregame show around.
anyone who makes a good living selling PENCILS is a hustler, baby
@crazyjoedavola: Heck, I'd approve. That means he thinks you have good taste. Besides if Corso was getting Burt's scraps in college, he was prolly banging 8s on average. Not bad.
This flaming bag of cock backed us every week in 2004, up until the BcS standings came out, and DisnESPN reminded him that they had the rights to the "national championship game" and changed his tune. Like the massive douche he is, he complied. Trev Alberts, hate him or not, at least stayed the course and told them to shove it up their collective arse.
This is a tough one. I'm voting present.
@That-Dude: NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND.
disapprove
@That-Dude: So Dick Bevetta is a Lee Corso fan?
