College football fans react to first GameDay broadcast without Lee Corso

Lee Corso officially retired last weekend, doing his final College GameDay broadcast ahead of Ohio State’s win over Texas.
In true Hollywood fashion, Corso went out by picking all winners and by having every school he played for or coach win. What a finish to a legendary career.
This weekend was the first College GameDay broadcast since Corso’s retirement, and it had fans on social media missing him. There was plenty of reaction to the broadcast from Norman ahead of a Week 2 showdown between the Oklahoma Sooners and Michigan Wolverines.
When the picks section rolled around at the end of the show and Corso wasn’t there to don whichever team’s headgear he liked? Well, it was just… weird.
Here’s a sampling of some of the social media reaction to the first GameDay broadcast since Corso’s retirement:
Corso was the biggest part of GameDay becoming the behemoth that it is. Without him, it’ll take some getting used to. But the current crew of Desmond Howard, Rece Davis, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee and Kirk Herbstreit have a couple of years of chemistry together.
Replacing Corso won’t be easy, though. The man was an absolute legend.
