Lee Corso

Leland "Lee" Corso (born August 7, 1935) is an American sports broadcaster and football analyst for ESPN and former long-time college football coach. He has been a featured analyst on ESPN's College GameDay program since its inception in 1987.

Early life and playing career

Corso's parents, Alessandro and Irma, were Italian immigrants. His father fled Italy during World War I at age 15. Alessandro, who had a second-grade education, was a lifelong laborer who laid terrazzo flooring and Irma, who had a fifth-grade education, worked in school cafeterias and boarding schools.

Corso was born in Lake Mary, Florida. He attended Miami Jackson Senior High where he played quarterback. A baseball prospect, he was offered a $5,000 bonus to sign with the Brooklyn Dodgers as a shortstop. However, he chose college, playing football at Florida State University (FSU), where he was a roommate of football player and actor Burt Reynolds and future University of Miami baseball coach Ron Fraser. While at FSU, Corso earned the nickname "Sunshine Scooter" for his speed on the football field.

Famous quotes by Lee Corso:

"Not so fast, my friend."

"If he could win eight games a year ... he'd be a miracle worker. If he can get into a BCS bowl game ... that'd be magnificent."

"If Texas can hang on and get into the fourth quarter and wear them out, they could beat Ohio State, ... I picked Ohio State to play for the national championship, but I love Texas, too."

"Now we get some answers."

"There's no way Washington can beat Notre Dame, ... No matter how good a guy Tyrone Willingham is, no matter how hard his guys are going to play for him."

"Wait'll you see Notre Dame, ... These guys are good."

"Tyrone Willingham will do a tremendous job, ... He will represent the school the way it should be represented. Washington is not a good job right now, it's a lousy job. He wouldn't be there if it was a good job. He could build that into a good program. He can do it, and he'll do it the right way."

"I didn't think that was in the style of Notre Dame. Notre Dame was different than everybody else. They had never fired a coach prior to completing a contract. I thought Notre Dame was above and beyond that stuff."

"No. Offensively, these guys are really good. I saw 'em at Pittsburgh and they demoralized those guys. You thought Cal was good, and they put up 56 there? Hello?"

"Absolutely not. Are you kidding me?"

(you're On My) Fighting Side

by: Lacrosse

remember you can count on me
i'm on your fighting side
i'm pretty sure it's mutual
you're on my fighting side too
i'll tell you why it hurts
everyone you love, love themselves more
nothings ever gonna change
noone's ever gonna care
but i'm your silver lining, i'm your silver lining
remember you can count on me
i'm on your fighting side
i'm pretty sure it's mutual
you're on my fighting side too
you threw out the phone
so now there's nothing to wait by
you choose it for yourself
but somewhere where you're not
someone that you never meet
is wondering where you are
now, where are you?
remember you can count on me
i'm on your fighting side
i'm pretty sure it's mutual
you're on my fighting side too
I know your heart is broken
you can't even see the fractions of the shape that it
used to be
but it will mend, it will mend now
like the terminator the pieces will come together again
remember you can count on me
i'm on your fighting side
i'm pretty sure it's mutual
