Lee Corso thinks UC will lose
ESPN College GameDay icon Lee Corso said just prior to a speaking engagement on Monday in Northern Kentucky that he doesn’t think the University of Cincinnati football team will go undefeated this season, but he wasn’t sure any other team in the country would either.
“I think the chances are slim and none of them going undefeated,” Corso said prior to serving as the guest speaker at the 27th annual Northern Kentucky Athletic Directors Association Hall of Fame induction banquet.
“It’s just so hard today to go undefeated, and they still have to play at South Florida and at Pittsburgh,” Corso said. “Maybe the only team that will do it is Boise and they don’t play anybody.”
Corso, who suffered a stroke four months ago and was speaking at the banquet at the behest of a college friend and fraternity brother who graduated from Bellevue High School, was complimentary of UC quarterback Tony Pike and head coach Brian Kelly.
“Pike’s a really impressive kid throwing the football and there’s no question coach Kelly is a terrific coach,” said Corso, who took part in a pep rally earlier on Monday at Bellevue High School and went so far as to put the team’s Tiger mascot head over his like he does on the GameDay show when picking a particular team to win a game.
The speaking engagement is the only Corso will do until next April or May because of the stroke, although he will remain on GameDay.

Chipper to appear on College Gameday
MIAMI — Chipper Jones knows that he’s going to irritate a number of Georgia fans when he arrives on ESPN’s College Gameday set on Saturday morning sporting the colors of his beloved Florida Gators.
But for now, the Braves third baseman isn’t revealing which Southeastern Conference football power he’s going to further agitate with the pregame prediction that he’ll be asked to make.
With ESPN’s popular College Gameday show kicking off the college football season in Atlanta on Saturday, Jones has been invited to make a guest appearance and predict the winners of the Georgia-Oklahoma State and Alabama-Virginia Tech games.
While Jones has already determined his picks, the only revelation he’s providing is that he’ll be hearing a round of boos from either the Alabama or Georgia fans that are in attendance for the live show at Centennial Park.
“Let’s just say that one group will be happy and the other won’t,” Jones said.
