College Football Fan Gets Lee Corso Autograph Tattooed Live on ‘Gameday’
ESPN’s College Gameday traveled to Harrisonburg, Va. on Saturday ahead of James Madison’s showdown against Appalachian State. It was just the third time in the school’s history that they’ve hosted ESPN’s flagship pregame show.
To celebrate the occasion, one committed Dukes fan decided to ink the day into history, getting a tattoo of Lee Corso’s signature on his leg live during the broadcast.
“I’m honored to get Coach Corso’s autograph tattooed on my leg,” said Doug Wixted, the JMU fan who was getting the new ink.
“I’ve arrived!” joked Corso, when asked how he felt about a fan getting his signature permanently put on their body.
The finished product looked pretty good.
Fans following the scene from home celebrated the moment as exemplary of what makes college football special.
The Dukes entered Saturday’s game a perfect 10–0 on the season. Despite their pristine record, James Madison is currently ineligible for postseason play due to their recent elevation to the FBS level.
