Lee Corso is back: Fans react to analyst’s return to College GameDay

Lee Corso is back!

The 87-year-old co-host of ESPN’s College GameDay returned to the set Saturday and soaked up the love from the fans and the other hosts on the set. ESPN’s College GameDay is on the campus of Tennessee for the clash between Alabama and Tennessee later this afternoon.

Corso’s return got the attention of Twitter as well, with many fans happy to see “The Sunshine Scooter” back on the set. He had been absent the last couple of weeks with an illness.

Here are some of the responses:

I know I’ve said lee corso needs to retire this season but it’s good seeing him back on game day after the fake death hoax crap someone started a few days ago.

It’s uncertain how many segments Corso will appear in today, although he will certainly make his headgear pick at the end of the show.

Earlier in the season, ESPN brought in Pat McAfee, lightening Corso’s load.
