Lee Corso reached a big milestone on Saturday, and the longtime analyst was nearly moved to tears over the way ESPN celebrated it.
Corso was hired by ESPN in 1987. His famous headgear picks began in 1996, when he picked Ohio State to defeat Penn State by donning the mascot head of “Brutus the Buckeye.” The schtick became incredibly popular, and Corso has been doing it on “College GameDay” since.
On Saturday, Corso made his 400th headgear pick. ESPN commemorated the occasion with a video tribute to Corso that left the 88-year-old very emotional. You can see the full promo below and Corso’s reaction at the end.
