ESPN College�Gameday Announcer Lee Corso shocked- and humored- fellow analysts and fans Saturday when he unexpectedly spouted an expletive as he was concluding the GameDay show before the Houston v. SMU game.
Nine-time Olympic Gold Medallist, Houston Alum and Guest Picker Carl Lewis picked the Cougars to win over the Mustangs.� In response, Corso picked up an SMU megaphone to indicate he was picking Houston over SMU�and said, “Ah, —- it.”�
Corso then put on the headgear for Shasta, the Houston mascot.�
Corso’s Gameday colleagues, Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit, appeared to be entertained as they laughed and made jokes about the comment.�
Most would agree it is fair to say Corso’s call of Houston beating its Conference USA rival was loud and clear.�
Half an hour later during a break in the action of ESPN’s coverage of Michigan’s win over Nebraska, the network aired Corso reading a statement of apology.
“Earlier today on College GameDay, I used an expletive I shouldn’t have,” Corso said.� “I apologize and promise it won’t happen again.”
The Houston�Cougars won the game 37-7, remaining one of the nation’s two unbeaten teams.
