Lee Corso and the wild world of college football

ESPN is marking the end of a college football era: the farewell of Lee Corso, the beloved College GameDay analyst whose signature headgear picks and “Not so fast, my friend!” have been part of college football Saturdays since 1987.

On August 30, Corso will make his final headgear pick during the marquee Ohio State vs. Texas matchup in Columbus, and fittingly at the very site where Corso’s headgear tradition began nearly three decades ago.

To honour this milestone, Arts & Letters partnered with ESPN on new creative, airing on Monday Night Football and running through his final game. The work celebrates Corso’s legacy, the joy and unpredictability of the sport, and ESPN’s role at the centre of college football culture, now entering the 12-team playoff era.
