Lee Corso’s Wild College Football Gameday Video Goes Viral
Lee Corso’s Wild College Football Gameday Video Goes Viral
Lee Corso is 87 years old, but nobody else in college football has his knack for electrifying a crowd.
Obviously Corso has been dealing with some health issues over the past few weeks, but he was back this Saturday – and he certainly left quite the impression.
The “College GameDay” crew was live from the University of Oregon this week ahead of the Ducks’ big Pac-12 showdown versus a surprisingly strong UCLA squad.
Corso celebrated the occasion like only he could:
Lmao we are five minutes into GameDay and Lee Corso already has a damn live duck on set.
Whatever he has planned for the head gear is gonna be insane. pic.twitter.com/zIUPEm6Pob

College football fans absolutely loved the visual. They took to social media immediately to react:

Lee Corso kissing a live duck is an experience that needs no explanation for the culturally initiated .

In addition to playing with his new buddy, Corso also made a pick for the Oregon-UCLA game.
Corso is actually longtime friends with former Ducks coach-turned-UCLA coach Chip Kelly, but he didn’t let that sway him.
“Today, no payment!”
My guy LC felt all the love last week from everyone! He is ready for today’s huge @CollegeGameDay from Eugene!! pic.twitter.com/jG8Z6X0uUb

“To hell with Chip,” Corso said. “The Oregon Duck has been my friend for 25 years almost. I like Chip Kelly but not today, boy.”
You love to see it. Nobody in the game has swagger like Corso. There is a reason he finds himself trending every Saturday morning – fans absolutely love him.
This has been a wild week for college football. Between a fan cheering so hard her shirt flew off, Brian Kelly’s daughter’s provocative video going viral and the accusations of cheating from Alabama-Tennessee – it has been one thing after another.
The photos don’t lie. https://t.co/adRmfaJTLU

It’s great that Corso is around every weekend to cleanse fans’ palates of the insanity and provide a smooth pathway into the next group of games.
What will Corso ultimately go viral for next week?
Time will tell.
