Oh boy. What can I say.
Lee is an icon when it comes to NCAA Football. As long as I can remember I have enjoyed his humor, class, and expertise related to all things gridiron.
While I also enjoyed Beano Cook and his relentless 'homer' support of Notre Dame, as well as Dick Vitale when it comes to hoops, they were steps behind Lee.
His on air presence and interaction with Kirk Herbstreit will always be remembered.
Lee is the Vin Scully of College Football.

"After a nearly four-decade run, legendary sports analyst Lee Corso has decided to hang up his mascot heads.
On Thursday, the longtime co-host of ESPN’s College GameDay announced that he will be retiring later this year, capping off a broadcasting career that began in 1987. In a statement released by the network, Corso, 89, extended his gratitude to ESPN and colleagues for the “opportunity” to grace the airwaves “for nearly 40 years.”
“I have a treasure of many friends, fond memories and some unusual experiences to take with me into retirement,” Corso said."
The famed announcer’s final GameDay broadcast will take place on Aug. 30, according to ESPN, with “additional programming to celebrate Corso” slated to occur “in the days leading up to that weekend.”
