Video: Here’s why Lee Corso cried on the set of College GameDay

It’s been 20 years since ESPN College GameDay analyst Lee Corso first donned Brutus the Buckeye’s headgear while making a pick on the show.

Today, in College Station ahead of this afternoon’s matchup between No. 8 Texas A&M and No. 9 Tennessee, a segment aired celebrating Corso.

After the conclusion of the segment, a teary Corso thanked everyone on the set and gave a special thanks to ESPN for sticking with him when he had a stroke.

The segment, voiced by Tom Rinaldi, was well-received on Twitter:
