  • Lee Corso made his first headgear pick back in 1996 at Ohio State. He’s since stolen the show on College GameDay with unforgettable nods to Oregon, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and many more. Relive Corso's best picks from the first 15 years of the tradition.

I wasn't really paying attention, but next thing I know, my dad is DYING laughing. He had it recorded, and he put it on replay over and over again! Also, the delay wasn't there, so we heard him say "f it!" In all its glory. Great times.

      Ian Fink I think not! We are 5-5 but are no doubt Top 25. Our biggest loss was to Ole Miss in week 1. Then we lost to Oklahoma by 1 possession and lost to Texas after a great comeback. We could be 8-2 right now. I think without the loss to Ole Miss or Iowa State, also a close game, we would be top 20.

    I’m a Clemson fan and we think that if corso picks us it’s a jinx

    I don’t know when college game day started, but for every Saturday morning of my childhood and into my adult life I spent my morning waiting to see Mr. Corso’s pick! It will be a truly sad day when this legend finally steps away, but it will be very well deserved

    11:22 this is my favorite part of Lee Corso I wonder if the college Gameday group is going to be at chapel hill in Saturday

    I've got to where I like gameday more than the games themselves

    The one in Morgantown for LSU vs West Virginia was a classic.
