ESPN’s Lee Corso drops expletive on air, apologizes | Video - Orlando Sentinel
We all know that Lee Corso can get a bit excited when it comes to talking about college football. However, this morning during ESPN’s College GameDay, his excitement got the better of him when he let an [expletive] slip out on-air.
While making his pick for the SMU-Houston game, Corso grabbed an SMU megaphone before throwing it aside and putting on the head of the Cougars’ mascot. It was during that exchange that he let it slip out:
“How can you pick against SMU? Look at that one there — red, white and blue. U-S-A! … Ah, [expletive]”
Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and guest picker Carl Lewis all reacted to the outburst with Fowler telling Corso, who was still wearing the mascot head, “Shasta, shame on you.”...

Phil Steele’s Week 12 Marquee Matchups - Orlando Sentinel
#4 OREGON vs #18 USC
The Ducks are off a convincing trip to Stanford in which they dominated the Cardinal scoring 53 points on 63 offensive plays led by RB James who looked like a Heisman candidate with 146 rush yards (7.3) and 3 TD’s. UO has the Civil War on deck while the Trojans come in after an impressive showing vs Washington as they outgained the Huskies 426-244 (season low in yards for UW). Both teams have been ranked in the last seven meetings and the higher ranked tm has won five of the last six (UO pulled the upset in ‘09). Last year the situation clearly favored the Trojans who were hosting the #1 team at home looking for revenge but after taking a 32-29 lead, gave up 24 unanswered and lost 53-32. The last time here, the game was tied 17-17 late 2Q but USC was outscored 30-3 and outgained 416-134 (59 yds on their final drive) in a 47-20 loss. While a blowout isn’t expected, another Duck victory is.
PHIL’S FORECAST: OREGON 38 USC 31

3 keys to a Trojans win: No. 2 -- TDs not FGs - CBS Sportsline
