Lee Corso’s Most Iconic Notre Dame Moments Through the Years

A college football icon is retiring.

Lee Corso, who has been an instrumental part of ESPN's College Game Day show for 38 seasons, is calling it a career. ESPN announced the move on Thursday, stating that Corso will particiapte in one final Game Day to start the year on August 30, but did not reveal a location for the show.

Corso has helped sell the sport of college football as much as anyone in the last three or four decades. College Game Day does a pheonominal job of capturing the environment that makes college football so special and nobody did that better than Corso.

Before "Coach" officially calls it a career and walks off the stage a final time, there are some memorable moments from his run on the show that include Notre Dame. Below are just a handful.

Props to Coach on one heckua run. There is no doubt that his love and passion of college football influenced my love for it at a young age and no matter how much his act is impersonated when he's fully retired, it'll never be quite the same.
