Herbie carries Corso on gameday

[Rushisaband]

If it wasn’t for him, Corso wouldn’t be on there! Tough to watch sometimes!

 

[jethreauxdawg]

Yeah, they try to hide it

But he’s clearly not firing on all cylinders. Has he had a stroke in the last few years? I understand he’s been a staple of the show and maybe even the face of it at one point in time, but it’s almost cruel to keep putting him out there now.

Well they’ve drastically reduced his role the last few years. He’s only on set probably 50% of the three hour show. He’s an 83 year old man who has experienced a stroke, so what you see is probably to be expected. I’m sure he only has a couple of years left where he will be able to work.

You probably wanted to put Jack out to pasture too before he retired. Some people are just bigger than their job performance and have earned the right to keep doing what they’re doing. It’s GameDay. It’s not a big deal. And he means a lot to a lot of college football fans.

A few years ago you could tell that Herbstreit was getting frustrated with him on air. They've settled into their roles some now that Corso isn't doing games anymore.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

He'll probably retire within the next couple of years. May bring in Les Miles or somebody with a similar temperament to Corso. He is different than all the other hosts and makes the show honestly.

Corso is a Legend. The headgear pics are awesome and I say let him do it til he says no more.
Herbie really does take care of him and this year I have really noticed it more.

also GameDay > SecNation

but SecNation has Maria Taylor.

Gameday is definitely better. SEC Nation is good, but a it has a bit of a synthetic feel to it. A lot of bits feel forced and the hosts don't really have great chemistry.

Corso is the reason i stopped watching

 

[PBRME]

Corso is the reason I keep watching.

Corso gets to you that bad, huh?

Yep, Cutting off football today boys. 17ing 85 year old man on tv for 5 minutes triggers me into submission**

 

[HamSammich]

Think we could get a Maria/Laura mud wrestling match? Pretty please?

 

[Chris Mannix]

Headgear is awesome, admit it. Would love to see Les eating grass and doing headgear.

 

[RocketDawg]

I like Corso.

 

[RocketDawg]

It's synthetic because it's a copycat. But it's pretty good anyway.

 

[Apoplectic_Objurgator]

its a great human story for herbie/corso. herbies boys treat him like a grandfather. if it wasnt for those i wouldnt watch a non-msu program on espn.

only a psychopath would be bothered by what happens between those two

He had a stroke a couple years ago. He came back the next year and you could tell he was struggling a little bit.

I thought 2 years ago they basically did a season long retirement thing for him and the last show of the year was like a sign off for him. Then, last year, he was back. Did I dream the retirement thing?

I've always enjoyed Corso yeah he stumbles on his words from time to time but still knows his stuff for the most part. He's entertaining and I enjoy seeing the others interact with him and how they each handle it.
