(Lee Corso's final appearance on ESPN's "College GameDay" will be at 9 a.m. on Aug. 30. To honor the occasion: This story on his legendary life and career originally appeared in The Palm Beach Post in June 2003 as Corso was about to enter the Florida Sports Hall of Fame with Dan Marino, Michelle Akers, Jim Courier and Wade Boggs.)
Not so fast, my friend. Turns out that cute little catchphrase works as much for the man as it does his shtick. We hear the name Lee Corso , we think of the wild man talkingthisfast about how the Hurricanes are about to beat the Seminoles . We envision his exclamation point: plopping the Ibis’ massive head over his own noggin in front of 80,000 screaming fans and a national television audience.
