ESPN has been the home of college football for a long time now, and very few people at the company have been involved with the sport as long as Lee Corso.
The legendary personality has long been a staple of ESPN’s College Gameday coverage, where he is most known for putting on the headgear of the school he thinks is going to win the big game.
On Thursday, Corso turned 90 years old, and ESPN released a highlight reel on social media celebrating his birthday.
Corso will be in Columbus in Week 1 for the monumental tilt between Texas and Ohio State, and that promises to be a special day. It was announced in the spring that the Week 1 game would be the final appearance for Corso on College Gameday.
During his time on the show, he has predicted 430 games, picking the winning team correctly 66.5% of the time. When it comes to the teams he picks the most, no program in college football has been picked by Corso more than Ohio State, as he has selected the Buckeyes to win 45 times.
All of college football is wishing Corso a happy birthday, and the final College Gameday in Columbus is going to be a special day for fans across the country.
