The College Gameday shows this weekend

If I read it correctly the Fox Gameday show and the ESPN Gameday show are both going to be in Columbus.
If that is the case,I don’t ever remember both shows being at the same game on the same day.
Anyone?
I don't know if it's a first, but this is the biggest game this season not only in the Big Ten but arguably in all of college football. Makes sense both shows are in Columbus for this huge clash!
 
weren't they both at O$U-PervSt just 2 weeks ago?
How is Lee Corso considered an expert when he was one of the worst P-4 coaches of all time?

His players in the 70s were indisciplined clods who were constantly getting into trouble.

I remember in Foster Quad one night when a couple of them accosted a Dominies delivery guy and when another student went to help they sent him to the hospital.

We had great disciplined basketball back then but the football team was a joke.

I really became an IU football fan after the classy Bill Mallory took over as coach and I wasn’t even a student anymore.

I never considered Corso much of a coach. He finally got the perfect job for him.

Just stop with that nonsense.

First, Corso isn't, and has never been, on College Game Day for his expertise. He's an entertainer and, prior to his stroke, a damned good one. He is beloved by Herbstreit and everyone else on that set, and I've never heard anyone anywhere say a bad word about him.

Next, I don't know anything about the Foster incident you reference, but I do know that people who report to good coaches and good people sometimes do bad things. No leader can control everything.

Finally, Corso coached Indiana to a very successful season in 1979, culminating in the first bowl win in program history over a previously undefeated BYU team. In my book, that gives him special status at IU - - forever.

.463 career winning percentage isn’t wonderful but far from one of the worst P-4 coaches of all time. I’m assuming he coached 164 more games than you did.

He was loser. His players were thugs and there was a reason he was jettisoned.

The Foster incident wasn’t an isolated thing. Him being propped up as a coaching guru is ridiculous.

No, I don’t coach football but if my sales numbers were like that I wouldn’t be invited to any conferences to motivate people.

I also wouldn’t be asked by any HR department for advice on how to mold decent young men.

He was a train wreck. I was there and saw it. Were you?

About 10 years ago I met an ex-player of Corso’s who was a linebacker around 1980. He is a catholic priest now.

Lmao. Under Mallory shit like mentioned above happened. I remember a party in the early 90s got out of hand and a bunch football players were flipping cars on little 5 weekend. Not a damn thing was done about it.

Maybe you should just go back to whatever hole you were in prior to October 27.

I can still remember watching Corso's weekly talk show on TV when he was coach at IU. He was the only coach I can remember who did not have a co-host because he did all the talking. The show was great and my dad and I always said at the time that he was a lousy coach but he'd make a great TV commentor one day!

I never will forget the home game against Iowa when it rained “Can Corso” leaflets, dropped from a Piper Cub flying over the stadium. I felt sorry for Corso, clown that he was, albeit a very likable clown, just not a likable coach. The red jumpsuit he wore along the sideline only added to his Ringling Brothers buffoonery.

Damn bro.
Can't you just be happy about what's going on.
And as far as disciplined basketball.. That was different world during Knight..
And I'm probably your age..

I know a DE from the Corso era who would challenge your characterization of them as "clods" and challenge you to a game of chess at the same time.
 
Lee is as much of an expert as most talking heads. And the more important key to being on GameDay is being entertaining and likable, which Lee is great at.
