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.

That-Dude — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 13:25:06 EST

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.

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.
