Corso is iconic as far as Saturdays in the fall.  Very nostalgic to see him leave. 

Yes- it is past time- but I am thankful for what he brought to CFB. 

The show is hard to watch now because of Macafee. 

Not so fast my friend.

College Gameday was great for about 5 years when it was just Fowler, Corso, and Herbstreit. 
Fowler had a consistent, steadying presence.
Corso brought an old-school opinion and always had a trend stat to share...and the headgear at the end.
Herbstreit was just excited to be there - genuine enthusiasm.
.
Then they wanted someone out amongst the crowd, usually a lady.
Then they wanted the sob-story thing with that one guy.
Then a guest picker.
Then this, then that.
.
We all know what it became, but it did have a short golden age when it was great.

Brother and I were in South Bend for Gameday back in 2000 with Rabid Rattlesnake Boy
Corso came to the set late and walked past my brother, almost brushing his shoulder
back in the good ole daze

Yeah, I want to say 2006 was when it started to jump the shark a bit, and started to feel more like a television broadcast.  I want to say that's when they rolled out the giant home Depot set, brought in Rocket Ismail, and then replaced him with Desmond.  Neither of whom brought anything. Nick Lachet may have gotten in there for a season.  It also seems like because the production became so outsized, the locations also became worse, sinply due to the space required

Ya well James was killing hookers and setting up Mike Leach to get fired for telling his son to watch practice from a utility shed.Evidently that was a Bridge To Far for the impeccable James. So TT sent the Pirate packing - bastages. This according to credible sources on the old CFN Board of course

Even after I'd lost interest we used to keep Gameday on in the background on Saturday mornings as we did other things.  Now we put on Big Noon Kickoff in the background because both the wife and I find McAfee to be utterly intolerable.

Corso, in his prime, was a solid mix of smart Xs and Os guy, with the ability to be entertainingly irreverent.  It was like they tried to replace with 2 guys, who are the extremes of one side of that.  Saban, who knows his shit, but is boring, and McAfee who is a moron, but tries to be irreverent, and instead its awful

I get more useful analysis here, by far.

I enjoyed CGD back in the day. They came to A&M once or twice while I was there. OU in 2000, seems like maybe one more. I think A&M is like 0-8 or something for CGD all time. We’ve won some big games in that time, taken down some #1’s but they’re never here for that.
