Lee Corso is turning heads with his three decades of Ohio State & Notre Dame Shenanigans

Whether the fans are wearing scarlet and gray or rooting for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, they’re probably sitting on the edge of their seats right now. And why shouldn’t they? Notre Dame vs. Ohio State to the National Championship game is just moments away and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Two legendary programs, loaded with talent, both itching for the ultimate prize. You can feel the energy building, right? So does the former coach, Lee Corso. But one thing is certain: It will be a wild ride.

Speaking of the wild ride, there’s one tradition that always adds an extra layer of excitement to these big games – College GameDay and Lee Corso’s iconic headwear choices. If you’ve ever tuned into the show, you know exactly what I mean. Corso, the man with the plan, has been making these predictions for decades, and he’s become known for more than just his keen insight. And before the big game, College GameDay took to their official Instagram handle to share some of the key moments in his predictions over the years.

“Some of Coach Corso’s Top Picks at Ohio State and Notre Dame Over the Years,” it said in the post. And when you swipe right, you’ll see how Corso has been in the prediction game, not for years, but for decades. Ohio State in 1996 and 1998. Then came Notre Dame in 2004 and then again in 2012. It’s also just a rollercoaster ride for him and the fans.

But here’s the catch: he doesn’t just put on a cap and call it a day. Oh no. Corso goes all out. He will pull out the mascot heads and give us a show. Fast forward to now and Corso has over 400 headwear choices. And his track record? It’s some crazy stuff when it comes to his winning percentage. With almost 300 wins and just under 150 losses, Corso has a winning percentage of 66.67%.

However, the big question is still a mystery. Will he choose headgear in the national championship game between Notre Dame and Ohio State? Although there is currently no official confirmation on this, it could be that he misses out this time due to his health issues.

Lee Corso’s Ohio State and Notre Dame picks over the years

Let’s talk about the number, because Corso’s headwear choices aren’t just funny. They are legendary if we are honest. When Corso picks Ohio State, he’s 29-15. Not too shabby, eh? But when he chooses against them? Well, he’s not that good in that category, which just goes to show that even Corso can’t always predict the Buckeyes’ magic.

On the other hand, when Corso chooses Notre Dame, he has a pretty good track record from both sides. He’s picked them 29 times so far and has a 13-16 record. But in all 29 games, the legendary coach managed to correctly predict the outcome with a solid 20-9 track record in his favor. So basically, it’s a pretty even split when it comes to the Fighting Irish.

So as we count down the hours until the National Championship kicks off, we can’t help but remember how Lee Corso has been a staple of college football for over three decades. From his hilarious antics with the mascot heads to his winning streaks, Corso’s predictions have become a tradition in themselves.
