Lee Corso said goodbye to ESPN’s College GameDay after 38 years earlier this season, but he hasn’t been forgotten.
Inside the NBA host Ernie Johnson was the guest picker on Saturday’s edition of the show. As a Georgia alum, the decorated broadcaster was there to show support for his Bulldogs as they prepare to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide for the SEC Championship.
When the moment of truth arrived, Nick Saban picked Alabama to beat Georgia, to the surprise of no one. Following him was Johnson, decked out in Bulldogs gear. After pondering Saban’s prediction for a few moments, Johnson turned towards the legendary head coach and blurted out Corso’s iconic phrase, “Not so fast, my friend,” before picking Georgia to win.
Corso would often deploy the phrase in the same way, countering a prediction that differed from his, although he would also sometimes get tricky and reverse course with his prediction in the end. Such was the magic of Lee Corso.
