ESPN’s College GameDay has long been a favorite fixture of college football, and many fans choose to begin their college football Saturdays by watching Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and others break down the week’s games. Even more tune in for the end for Corso’s signature headgear pick. College football is all about tradition, and this is yet another beloved tradition.
Schools love to host the program and showcase their campus and team. Students love to flood the area behind the set with clever and creative signs, cheer for their team, and boo any mention of their rivals. And of course, fans* love to see their mascot head worn by Lee Corso at the show’s climax.
