As we near the end of Lee Corso's legendary run on "College GameDay" ESPN is looking for help from the show's audience as it looks to send him off the right way.
The 89-year-old analyst and former coach is calling it a career next month after nearly four decades on the air previewing college football's matchups and making his iconic headgear picks.
Corso suffered a stroke back in 2009 that slowed him down a bit but he didn't let it stop him from ultimately returning to the "GameDay" desk — even if his travel has been limited in recent years. It also hasn't made him any less beloved by the show's viewers or the players that he coached.
"Lee is the quintessential entertainer, but he was also a remarkable coach who established lifelong connections with his players," Rece Davis said of his colleague back in April.
"When GameDay went to Indiana last season, the love and emotion that poured out from his players was truly moving. It was also unsurprising," he admitted. "Every week, Lee asks about our families. He asks for specifics. He celebrates success and moments, big and small, with all of us on the set."
"He's relentless in his encouragement. That's what a great coach, and friend, does," the "GameDay" host shared. "Lee has made it his life's work to bring joy to others on the field and on television. He succeeded."
Now the Worldwide Leader is asking fans to share what the coach means to them by submitting a video message that could run on his very last show.
"As we get ready to celebrate Lee Corso's final show on College GameDay, here is your chance to share a personal message to Coach ❤️" ESPN posted to X. "Submit your video by August 15, more information here."

CFB Saturdays aren't going to feel the same without Corso. And to the network's credit, "GameDay" will not be making anymore headgear picks once Lee leaves the set.
Corso's final appearance will be August 30 when the show travels to Columbus for Ohio State's Week 1 opener vs. Texas. He was also honored at this year's ESPYs where he received a tribute from Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee and the USC marching band.
