Fans React To Massive 'College GameDay' Announcement
Fans React To Massive 'College GameDay' Announcement originally appeared on The Spun.
As Lee Corso prepares to sign off of "College GameDay" for the final time just a couple short months from now, one of the show's most beloved traditions will also reportedly be leaving with him.
According to ESPN, "GameDay" will no longer be doing the iconic headgear picks following Corso's retirement. Which was also confirmed by longtime host Rece Davis:
"No one is going to put on a mascot head ever again," Davis said.
CFB fans around the country reacted to the news over the weekend.
"Proud to have been a Lee Corso headgear pick ✅" Bowling Green replied.
"Right move," a user said. "Can never replicate Corso."
"No one else can do it like Corso. Good decision," another tagged ESPN.
"This is truly a sad day," a fan admitted.
"This is a bummer but totally understand the decision," another person commented.
"I'll miss seeing it, but it's definitely the right and honorable thing to do," another user posted.
"I have no problem with this Lee Corso is a legend," another fan shared.
"I understand this move but I'm going to miss it. I made sure to tune in so I could see the headgear pick every Saturday. Without it, no point tuning in to College Gameday over other shows."
"I mean no offense to the rest of the crew but the Gameday show as a whole will die out without Corso. You just can't replace what he brought with the headgear," a viewer pointed out.
"Good they shouldn't," another account approved.
The coach first started his headgear picks back in 1996 before they took on a life of their own and largely ended up defining the show's legacy over the next several decades.
Of his 430 selections 286 were correct. But there was never a time that his picks didn't stir up a frenzy at whatever location the broadcast happened to be that week. Corso's final show will be on August 30 — 23 days after his 90th birthday.Fans React To Massive 'College GameDay' Announcement first appeared on The Spun on Jun 21, 2025
