Lee Corso's final 'College GameDay' appearance will represent full-circle moment

Since Corso first put on Ohio State's Brutus Buckeye mascot head in 1996, fans have eagerly waited to see to see which team he picks each week prior to the Saturday slate of games kicking off.

A former player at Florida State from 1953-57, Corso was a head coach from 1969-84, making stops at Louisville, Indiana and Northern Illinois before joining "College GameDay" for its inaugural season in 1987. In fact, he is the only personality that has been a mainstay on the show since its debut nearly 40 years ago.

Heading into his final show on Aug. 30, it is hard to imagine where the show would be if Corso was not making his headgear pick each week. And of course, his signature "Not so fast, my friend' catchphrase will forever be remembered as one of his most iconic lines.

From live animals to F-bombs and everything in between, Corso has certainly had some memorable moments during his 38-year run on "College GameDay."

In total, Corso has made 430 headgear picks, 286 of which were correct. He even went a perfect 11-0 in 1999, while his 45 times selecting Ohio State are the most of any team.

Corso suffered a stroke in 2009 and has missed multiple "College GameDay" episodes in recent years due to health issues. He will turn 90 in August.

With a colossal showdown between two top-five programs and a return to the location where Corso made his first headgear selection, expect an emotional and heartfelt send-off as one of the sport's most respected personalities wraps up a storied career.
