krc1995 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 they're just trying to get viewers. Sorry, but I bet he wouldn't put his salary on it. Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 He's on TV for the same reason as Dick Vitale. They're entertaining to a vast majority of people in what they do. They've lessened a LOT of Lee Corso's load, but Lee's still as sharp as he ever was. I know many don't believe he was EVER sharp... but I think he knows football and knows how to analyze as well as most on TV. Glad to have him pick us rather than pick against us. Not that it's his fault, but he has definitely lost alot after suffering a stroke. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I was there, the Wisconsin fans yelled foul language, and us NU fans jumped like we had won a battle. The tide totally changed in Madison when Corso picked us to win. The morale of the fans totally changed. 2 Quote Link to comment
bshirt Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 We'll be OK, Mark May picked Wisconsin last night. Oh.....thank God! Quote Link to comment
huskerfan92 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Corso actually has a great record for picking teams. He's 4-0 this year and 3-1 when he picks Nebraska. The kiss of death comes from Lou Holtz Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 The kiss of death comes from Lou Holtz This, and like the fellow asshat that sits next to him, picked Wiscy. Give me Corso any day over TweedleDum and TweedleDumber Quote Link to comment

I think Lee has done very well considering the stroke he had. I've worked with stroke patients to improve their speech and he has done well. I don't see him as a 'confused little old man' quite the contrary. I enjoy his insights and he's been right about us more times than not. I think Herbstreit (sp?) doesn't really care for us and Fowler can't stand us so thanks Lee-you're right-we WILL win. Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I like College Gameday. But taking them seriously as insightful college football specialists is like calling MTV a serious music video channel. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 As dumb as that might seem, I still get a kick out of it. Quote Link to comment
HuskerCarter Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Wow, maybe Corso does have the hot hand, he called KSU to beat Baylor and they did. Quote Link to comment
Jason Sitoke Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Corso gets a bad rap. He is the best Nebraska prognosticator. In 2002, we rolled Arizona St. at home, and Corso came out in the post-game and said that this was the demise of Nebraska, and how Solich flat out is not getting the athletes that Nebraska used to get. We went 7-7 that year and went nearly a decade without being nationally relevant. Quote Link to comment
