Corso is out today. Was late getting up, so they checked on him. Somehow, doctors got involved - Kirk reported he said that he'd never diss Clemson again, so his sense of humor is intact. But if doctors are involved it can't be very good news for him, but the guys didn't seem too concerned. Lee is old...
October 1st, 2022 at 9:30 AM ^
Hang in there, Lee...
October 1st, 2022 at 9:32 AM ^
He is an institution. I hope he hangs in there.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:28 AM ^
He helped make the show and a lot of the hype around CFB Saturdays we see today.
That said, if we assume he deserves to work as long as he wishes and to be part of show, might make sense to start zooming him in for segments. Constant travel, jet lag, and changing time zones, even in luxury or on a private jet, takes its toll - especially on older folks
October 1st, 2022 at 10:48 AM ^
They tried that with COVID. It just wasn't the same. Corso's biggest contribution to the show comes in the final part, the picks segment. The whole show builds up to Corso making the final pick at the location.
I'm not disagreeing with your general point, but I think if Corso's going to be on the show he needs to be at the location. ESPN made a smart move getting Pat McAfee, who I think will be a good replacement for that segment for Corso.
October 1st, 2022 at 11:45 AM ^
He can just do the headgear on site. There is a big difference between getting up at around 10:00 EST and getting up at around 6:00 or 7:00 EST.
October 1st, 2022 at 9:22 AM ^
There's a big M flag flying in the Clemson Gameday crowd! Way to go, whoever you are!!!
October 1st, 2022 at 10:59 AM ^
I had to switch channels to verify. Yes, someone made a strong move there. The M flag is boldly present.
October 1st, 2022 at 9:31 AM ^
Oops, camera accidently caught Jess Simms just reading her segment from a card. She knows nothing about college football. Why is she on here? She is worthless.
Give me Niki Noto!
October 1st, 2022 at 10:00 AM ^
I just googled her. She's a former Peloton instructor? Those are her football credentials? Come on, there are women out there who do know football.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:07 AM ^
I'm 99% certain that some suit at Disney/ABC headquarters, who never actually watches Game Day, intervened and pushed her onto the show in a lame attempt to appeal to the Tik Tok kids who are not going to watch anyway.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:09 AM ^
It finally happened to GameDay
October 1st, 2022 at 10:12 AM ^
Wow--I didn't know Peloton instructor was a job people could have. It's just an exercise bike with a monitor attached. What sort of instruction do you need?
October 1st, 2022 at 10:27 AM ^
Not sure, but I'm pretty sure it's loud and annoying.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:54 AM ^
+1 sir.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:58 AM ^
Whenever I hear my wife spinning in the house, it sounds like she's cheating on me.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:34 AM ^
It's basically the in-shape version of the MC at a wedding. Job is to be loud and get everyone pumped up and engaged in the activities.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:31 AM ^
Jess is eye candy, sorry but that is more important than knowledge of the game.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:44 AM ^
100%
TBF, it's not as if the former football playing males on Fox BNK or ESPN Gameday have been chosen solely for their knowledge of the game.
Reggie Bush, Charles Woodson, Matt Leinart, Brady Quinn, Kirk Herbstreit, David Pollack, Desmond Howard...
Yes, all besides Kirk (lol) were legit high level college players (Kirk is a legit analyst and announcer tbf), but all are good looking dudes. It matters on TV.
That said, I'm sure there are some attractive women more knowledgeable about CFB than Jess reading off a cue card.
Urban on the other hand....
October 1st, 2022 at 11:47 AM ^
There are plenty of good looking women who know something about college football if you are going that route.
October 1st, 2022 at 4:29 PM ^
Erin Andrews please!
October 1st, 2022 at 10:02 AM ^
Whelp,
ESPN pulled from Sling over contract renegotiations.
October 1st, 2022 at 11:10 AM ^
Same with DISH. Ashamed to admit I haven't cut the cord yet.
October 1st, 2022 at 11:48 AM ^
Streameast is good for emergencies like this.
October 1st, 2022 at 2:22 PM ^
NHL66.ir is the absolute best sports streaming site i've ever found. I'm still waiting for the football version.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:06 AM ^
"We Stand With Brian"
Is an actual sign being held by an actual fan of Iowa football. What the actual fuck do these people know about football? I thought they knew something... Apparently not.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:16 AM ^
Probably a Nebraska fan wanting some company down there in the corn world.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:59 AM ^
They must be fans of our very own Brian Cook.
October 1st, 2022 at 11:36 AM ^
It’s gotta be ironic as no sane would sincerely “stand with Brian.”
October 1st, 2022 at 11:49 AM ^
So does the offense, they just kinda stand there.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:07 AM ^
David Pollack's co-workers admit it: he is painfully irritating.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:10 AM ^
“They’re chanting for the punter”
lol
October 1st, 2022 at 10:17 AM ^
Looking for AJ to take one to the house today. That should stop the chant.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:11 AM ^
Christ, Iowa... Their fans were chanting the punter's name, along with a sign touting him for the Heisman. Iowa football, ladies and gentlemen...
October 1st, 2022 at 10:16 AM ^
I hope he touches the ball early and often.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:55 AM ^
I mean, it’s kinda funny.
October 1st, 2022 at 11:39 AM ^
I mean they’re having fun with the reality of their team. It’s way more entertaining than the alternative, for even the non Iowa fans.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:18 AM ^
“Punting is winning”
For Iowa he’s right.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:37 AM ^
...........and my wife tells me we can save money by spending it.
October 1st, 2022 at 11:50 AM ^
I say this to my daughter.
Her: "I saved money with this purchase!"
Me: "No, you didn't save money, you spent money."
October 1st, 2022 at 10:26 AM ^
This may be the most boring College Game Day ever.
Thank goodness for Fox Big Noon at Michigan - Iowa. Fake planted Michigan fan just got a pie in the face.
October 1st, 2022 at 10:55 AM ^
"Coach, I love the necktie mentality. Like a shark, always getting better..."
Uhhh...what does that mean?
October 1st, 2022 at 10:56 AM ^
I'm glad there are no ESPN games on today that I'm interested in watching. Dish Network and ESPN have failed to come to an agreement; there are no ESPN channels on Dish today.
October 1st, 2022 at 11:28 AM ^
Urban looks bored.
Iowa coeds not tickling his fancy.
He probably also has to take sloppy seconds traveling and working with the young, good looking crew, and he probably doesn't get to insult or disparage them to attain temporary moments of self-satisfaction.
October 1st, 2022 at 4:34 PM ^
I heard he Cayman Nebraska!
October 1st, 2022 at 11:33 AM ^
I still hate David Pollack
October 1st, 2022 at 11:49 AM ^
How is it possible that Urban Meyer has become even more of a narcissist? He can't get through a sentence without talking about himself.
October 1st, 2022 at 11:51 AM ^
He does not seem to be pandering to Michigan so much away from Ann Arbor.
October 1st, 2022 at 11:53 AM ^
October 1st, 2022 at 11:59 AM ^
Reggie Bush picks Iowa based on “crowd enthusiasm.” Ok player.
