Rece Davis wrote a touching letter about Lee Corso’s impact on college football after news of his retirement became public on Thursday.
It was Davis’ second tribute to Corso of the day as he also published a lengthy video titled “What Lee Corso means to me” earlier in the day.
Davis’ letter is dripped with love and appreciation for his longtime partner on ESPN College GameDay.
In the letter, Davis called Corso “the cornerstone of College GameDay.” That cornerstone will make his final GameDay appearance on Aug. 30, and that will be it. Corso will be gone, but all of his iconic moments and memories that he gave fans will endure.
Davis wrote in his Corso appreciation letter on Thursday:
His humor and irreverence were revolutionary for media covering college football and set the trend for following generations. In a sport built on nostalgia and tradition, there is no pre-game moment more iconic than Corso putting on the mascot head. Saturday kickoffs just couldn’t be official until LC put on the mascot head. It is an authentic, signature moment that resulted from his remarkable sense of how to connect with people.
Davis’s emotional letter was a full-on tribute to what Corso meant to him and the sport of college football.
Corso will have one more chance to put on that mascot head in late August before drifting off into the sunset.
