Man, he is getting more and more painful to watch out there. Loved watching him as much as the next guy, but he's had a great run and it's time to hang em up. Last season felt like a farewell season to me anyway.

Not hating on Corso, but after his stroke (strokes?), he can barely manage a coherent sentence. The dude needs to go. It's painful to watch.

Corso's prediction schtick originated when he placed Ohio State's Brutus Buckeye headgear on his head prior to a Penn State-Ohio State matchup. He is 193-101 at picking winners. His 300th headgear pick will come during week six of the 2017 season.


I would guess its a one year deal to reach this milestone

I really thought that 2017 would be his last year-and it still may be.

Just because it's a multi-year contract doesn't mean that he can't 1)retire after 2017, 2) be bought out for the remaining years, 3) or just cannot physically do the job anymore because of his medical condition.

I think he's the best thing ESPN has going for it these days and I'll miss the headgear pick when he leaves. There will be no headgear pick anymore when he's gone.

This is turning into charity for good ol' Lee.

I am thankful Jackson hung it up after the calling the greatest game ever played.

He didn't sound good at this year's Rose Bowl.

I don't mind it for Lee though - it's probably keeping him alive. Being around youth and having something to do will do that.

Looks like Les will have to wait another year or two for a goofy, quirky ex-coaching position to open up.
