ESPN College GameDay’s Lee Corso made his 400th headgear pick Saturday, continuing a tradition that started in 1996. The 88 year-old former coach has become a staple of college football coverage thanks to his unique tradition.
To honor Corso, ESPN put together a video that revisited the origin of the headgear tradition and Corso’s impact on college football. Corso colleagues Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Rece Davis and Chris Fowler were all featured in the video tribute, as well as notable coaches such as Nick Saban, Kirby Smart and Marcus Freeman, who also shared their thoughts on the legendary analyst.
