My two favorite sports of all time are college basketball and college football. They always have been, and they always will be.

When I was a youngster, for some reason, I loved Southern California as it pertained to college football. Of course, Syracuse, my alma mater, is my team now. But back in the day, I rooted for USC, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Trojans take on Notre Dame and others.

So when I saw earlier this week that, during the annual ESPYS program, the USC band came out to play the College GameDay song as part of a tribute to Lee Corso, it got me a little teared up.
