Fans React To Massive 'College GameDay' Announcement
Fans React To Massive 'College GameDay' Announcement originally appeared on The Spun.
As Lee Corso prepares to sign off of "College GameDay" for the final time just a couple short months from now, one of the show's most beloved traditions will also reportedly be leaving with him.
According to ESPN, "GameDay" will no longer be doing the iconic headgear picks following Corso's retirement. Which was also confirmed by longtime host Rece Davis:
"No one is going to put on a mascot head ever again," Davis said.
CFB fans around the country reacted to the news over the weekend.
"Proud to have been a Lee Corso headgear pick ✅" Bowling Green replied.
"Right move," a user said. "Can never replicate Corso."
"No one else can do it like Corso. Good decision," another tagged ESPN.
"This is truly a sad day," a fan admitted.
"This is a bummer but totally understand the decision," another person commented.
"I'll miss seeing it, but it's definitely the right and honorable thing to do," another user posted.
"I have no problem with this Lee Corso is a legend," another fan shared.
"I understand this move but I'm going to miss it. I made sure to tune in so I could see the headgear pick every Saturday. Without it, no point tuning in to College Gameday over other shows."
"I mean no offense to the rest of the crew but the Gameday show as a whole will die out without Corso. You just can't replace what he brought with the headgear," a viewer pointed out.
"Good they shouldn't," another account approved.
The coach first started his headgear picks back in 1996 before they took on a life of their own and largely ended up defining the show's legacy over the next several decades.
Of his 430 selections 286 were correct. But there was never a time that his picks didn't stir up a frenzy at whatever location the broadcast happened to be that week. Corso's final show will be on August 30 — 23 days after his 90th birthday.Fans React To Massive 'College GameDay' Announcement first appeared on The Spun on Jun 21, 2025

'Thanks, Joe Burrow': After first-pitch fail, Taylor Lewan jabs Bengals QB's baseball toss
Former NFL star Taylor Lewan, co-host of the "Bussin' with the Boys" podcast with Will Compton, had a ceremonial first pitch June 5 at a St. Louis Cardinals game at Busch Stadium that went viral because it was so far off target.

Basketball Fans Praising Angel Reese For 'Clever' Business Move
Basketball Fans Praising Angel Reese For 'Clever' Business Move originally appeared on The Spun. For a year now Chicago Sky star Angel Reese has been getting criticized for accumulating rebounds while struggling to score basic baskets. Reese seems to be taking advantage of that criticism with a "clever" little business move. Advertisement On Friday, Reese unveiled her new "MEBOUNDS" line of merchandise that she's trademarked and put on her website. The line includes various shirts and hats with the word "MEBOUNDS" such as a silhouette shirt and shirts with her phrase "Anything that comes off that board, it's mine!" Reese has said that the sales will go to her Angel C. Reese Foundation in the fight against cyberbullying. "MEBOUNDS, REESEBOUNDS, REBOUNDS… MERCH AVAILABLE NOW! Part of the proceeds are going to go to the Angel C. Reese foundation to help fight against cyberbullying!" she wrote on X. Reese's supporters have widely applauded the business move, praising how it addresses her detractors directly: Advertisement "Love this! Troll the haters," one user declared. "Might be the hardest clap back ever," wrote another. "Angel, the woman you are. And the cause the money is going to? Chef's kiss. I'm so glad to be a proud fan. Let me gonna and buy mine and support. Congrats!" a third wrote. "Your ability to rise above their organized hate gives me Joy. Shopping any of these merch should be fun." "The fact that part of the proceeds will be to help against cyber bullying is the biggest boss move! AR is clearly playing chess." ARLINGTON, TEXAS - MAY 15: Angel Reese #5 of the Chicago Sky reacts after a play against the Dallas Wings during the second half at the College Park Center on May 15, 2024 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by)But just because Reese went after her haters with this business move, it doesn't mean that the haters were left speechless. If anything, they doubled down on the criticism by calling it a case of Reese being selfish and lacking self-awareness: Advertisement "I tried to buy it online but it kept bouncing out of my shopping basket," one user joked. "Never knew being bad at anything could get someone so much support! Shirts crazy!" another mocked. "So part of the proceeds are going to your own organization? Gods work… aspiring young girls to be mid with each tee shirt sold!" "Hopefully this will help you pay for your $7k rent or your mortgage in Clermont." At least Reese is going to be turning her biggest criticism into a new moneymaker.
