The majority of us have been saying for several years now that Lee Corso is an idiot. Now someone says he's a god. So which is it sports fans? And why?

No doubt an idiot. Because of what he did at NIU(even though it was before my time) and he wore the damn Falcons head! But he got what he deserved while walking along the NIU sideline in the BUGS game-the NIU fans booed him.

Godiot? Idiod?
God!!
Geez, get over it. It was 23 years ago.
He coud be a god. Remember the lightening strike on his car in Blacksburg several years ago? That was God sending a message.
Remember, even a broken clock is correct twice a day. I am sure Corso can be correct once in a while. He is still an idiot!!!
H2O cracks me up and I have to go with godiot. These commentators, even though all of us at some point shout at the screen "STHU!" make the pre-game interesting if not fun. At the very least, we have a good time ripping on them in these forums.
Corso is on "GameDay" for the same reason Vitale is on NCAA hoops telecasts - they are "colorful" mouth pieces for the sport that draw viewers who love them or loathe them. In other words, they're good for ratings. How often they are "right" doesn't matter - at least to the network execs.
Personally I am bemused by both, don't give too much credence to either, and could take or leave 'em. I just hope they don't spawn a whole generation of imitators, because whatever you say about Corso and Dickie V, they are genuine.

Imitators? Going back a few weeks, I'd say the original " colorful" mouth pieces for the sport that draw viewers who love them or loathe them. In other words, they're good for ratings. How often they are "right" doesn't matter - at least to the network execs." ...was Howard Cosell.
Is this a trick question?

I remember that. And yes, it was God sending a message. The message?
"You, Lee Corso, are an idiot"
