Pat McAfee is no Lee Corso

[Mark Vader]

I've been watching College Gameday since the Tim Brando, Lee Corso & Beano Cook days.

 

Lee Corso had to retire and probably should have earlier. Despite that, his impact on the show was definitive, and he is sorely missed.

 

It wasn't just the headgear, Corso provided good analysis and insight without being a big mouth.

 

College Gameday is still a good show, even if it is too long. Rece Davis is a good host and Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard are good at analysis, although Desmond needs to stop laughing at every single joke on the show. Nick Saban looks and sounds like he's on life support, and then there's Pat McAfee.

 

McAfee has been given the distinction of taking Corso's place with the last prediction of the headlining game. Always kissing up to the host crowd, being very loud, taking  his shirt off, and why is he always standing on his chair? We can see you fine, Pat.

 

ESPN needs to find someone a little less spritely to fill the void of Lee Corso.

McAfee is annoying, but unlike Saban, Kirk and Desmond, he picked IU to beat Ill, Iowa and Oregon.

I agree.  Im not a McAfee hater, really... but in that role and for that show, they need to do better.

Nothing topped Chris Schenkel and the college football Big Board. His announcing a score update as the sliding insert numbers from behind it were being changed was priceless.
