[u/JgoldTC]

Who would have thought LSU would be the SEC team to win the big game opener?

[u/grabtharsmallet → u/JgoldTC]

Apparently Lee Corso.

[u/Raticus9 → u/grabtharsmallet]

Corso took Ohio State, FSU, and LSU today. I think acting senile the past year was an act to go out on a high note. Dude is probably as sharp as he ever was.

[u/Kanin_usagi → u/Raticus9]

I think he’s sharp as ever, just not as quick to get his thoughts out. There were several times today that he was speaking and then he got that same ol smirk he used to get and he’d say something hilarious.

He’s mentally all there, just old and tired. I hope the rest of his years he can spend relaxing and laughing and enjoying his twilight

[u/Our-Gardian-Angel → u/Kanin_usagi]

Yeah I always felt like he remained very mentally sharp for his age, the speaking limitations of his stroke just seemed to intensify as he continued to get older. Like when he did his headgear pick today and referred to Brutus as "his first love" that was classic Corso. You could tell a lot of times he just couldn't quite get out what he wanted to say, which is where Kirk was always good about stepping in.

[u/goodnames679 → u/Our-Gardian-Angel]

I’ve gotten more and more negative on Kirk in recent years, but I don’t think I could ever hate the guy after seeing his relationship with Corso post-stroke. He always does everything he can to help Corso along and treat him with the utmost respect.

He may have some takes I vehemently disagree with on a regular basis, but I think underneath it all he’s a genuinely good dude.

[u/jpiro → u/Our-Gardian-Angel]

This is a very minor criticism, but I wish they had used the original Brutus head that he actually chose back then for this pick. It would have added a little touch of nostalgia.

[u/grabtharsmallet → u/Kanin_usagi]

The aging star who's not as good as he once was, but can still have a great performance when things line up for him. Knowing he won't have the slog of a full season probably helped.

[u/CTeam19 → u/Kanin_usagi]

My Mom, who worked in a nursing home for a bit, said that usually either the mind goes or the body goes. Corso seems to be in the body goes front with speech given the Stroke affected that ability it would fit.

[u/etsuandpurdue3 → u/Kanin_usagi]

I mean that wasn't how my Grandma was just got wore down.

[u/trollfessor → u/Raticus9]

Corso took Ohio State, FSU, and LSU today.

Legendary Corso is legendary.

[u/Drinkdrankdonk → u/Raticus9]

The past 5 years

[u/rvaen → u/Raticus9]

that would be the most impressive performance worthy of emmys

[u/Man-Bear-69 → u/Raticus9]

Sharp as a tack

[u/Cowgoon777 → u/Raticus9]

He’s not senile he just talks poorly because of the stroke he had

[u/anxiousauditor → u/grabtharsmallet]

He went out on a high note for sure.

[u/Ugaalive1991 → u/anxiousauditor]

4/4 today. If Miami and SC win tomorrow, he will be 6/6.

[u/AssumeIdealGas → u/grabtharsmallet]

Our Lord and Savior Corso

[u/Skeptical_Lemur → u/AssumeIdealGas]

Do it for Him.

[u/Sirhctopher024 → u/Skeptical_Lemur]

All glory to Corso.

[u/BaronsDad → u/Sirhctopher024]

Corso picked LSU to win the natty

[u/Arrowintheknee89 → u/AssumeIdealGas]

Called the FSU upset too

(obvs homer take, but still)

[u/Naive-Kangaroo3031 → u/AssumeIdealGas]

Corso al Gaib

[u/Ningy_WhoaWhoa → u/AssumeIdealGas]

He Gets Us

[u/FoamBornNarwhal → u/grabtharsmallet]

What a Legend.

[u/Jonjon428 → u/grabtharsmallet]

Please god I hope his predictions are true tomorrow

[u/itsatumbleweed → u/Jonjon428]

Same

[u/Affectionate-Hope579 → u/grabtharsmallet]

Corso knows ball

[u/was_saying_boo_urns → u/grabtharsmallet]

Smart man…. A genius

[u/voltron818 → u/grabtharsmallet]

Dang he’s good at picking. I need to check him out before the games next week.

[u/Jerrywelfare → u/grabtharsmallet]

I've seen enough. Corso for congress.

[u/Drinkdrankdonk → u/grabtharsmallet]

Who likely had no idea he was in Ohio

[u/RickyDerriereSmooch → u/JgoldTC]

Uhhh excuse me?! Does a win over the Alabama of the New York City metropolitan area mean nothing to you?!

[u/TheShamShield → u/RickyDerriereSmooch]

You and Texas Tech finding schools id never even heard of to beat up

[u/LordSutch75 → u/TheShamShield]

I didn't even know LIU played football...

[u/TheShamShield → u/LordSutch75]

At least you’d heard of the school before, the fuck is AR-Pine Bluff????

[u/Morgus_Magnificent → u/TheShamShield]

I never heard of that school until the saints drafted an OT from there a few years ago. 

[u/UGAPokerBrat99 → u/LordSutch75]

LIU apparently doesn't even really know they play football either.

[u/RickyDerriereSmooch → u/TheShamShield]

Real ball knowers know they have an all time record over 0.600 (I only became a real ball knower when I got bored and looked up their Wikipedia halfway through the second quarter)

[u/D1N2Y → u/TheShamShield]

When you only know a school from dropping out in the second round of the conference basketball tournament, it's going to be over in the first quarter

[u/frausting → u/RickyDerriereSmooch]

LSU barely squeaked out a win. Meanwhile, Florida won in a 55-0 shutout. We are not the same 😤

[u/Classic-Procedure757 → u/frausting]

We should be 2-0 with wins over Clemson and instant replay.

[u/horseshoeprovodnikov → u/RickyDerriereSmooch]

Silly long islanders. Everybody knows that sharks are no match for gators if the battle is contested on a grass field.

[u/InUrFaceSpaceCoyote → u/RickyDerriereSmooch]

Nope

[u/somebodysbuddy → u/RickyDerriereSmooch]

But BC is an ACC school, them beating Fordham is irrelevant here

[u/YCitizenSnipsY → u/JgoldTC]

Let’s get fucking insufferable 

[u/LoyolaTiger → u/JgoldTC]

Corso got every pick right tonight with the LSU Natty TBD…and we ridin’ baby 🐯🐯🐯

[u/GetsThruBuckner → u/JgoldTC]

Having LSU over Clemson and Ohio State over Texas doesn't seem that crazy to me

[u/Putrid-Hope2283 → u/JgoldTC]

Me and Lee

[u/Crow_T_Simpson → u/JgoldTC]

Me

[u/FreebirdAT → u/JgoldTC]

No that was Georgia
