On College Gameday on ESPN, Corso, doing his "headgear" pick, started by shouting in an SMU megaphone, then tossed it away and said, "Ah, F*** it" and put on the Houston Cougar head. Herbstreit and Fowler were shocked. Kirk said thank God for delay but I got it on my DVR. Someone will be hearing from the FCC soon!

ESPN's Corso offers an expletive, and an apology /
Associated Press Sports updated 11:41 a.m. ET Nov. 19, 2011HOUSTON (AP)

ESPN college football analyst Lee Corso always ends the "College Gameday" show in outrageous fashion.

On Saturday, he accidentally added a profanity.

On set for the SMU-Houston game, Corso got tangled up with his SMU prop, a cheerleader's megaphone, prompting a two-word vulgar outburst as he tried to make his pick for the game. Corso then put on the Houston mascot head - muffled a few seconds too late.

Corso later came back on air during ESPN's broadcast of the Nebraska-Michigan game to apologize.

"Earlier today on `College Gameday while picking the SMU-Houston game I got a bit excited and used an expletive that I shouldn't have used," Corso said. "I apologize and can promise it won't happen again."

My brother and I replayed it three times and each time we swore that was the word he said.

I wonder if ESPN will punish him?

The FCC has no regulation over cable TV.

That being said, IT WAS AWESOME!

Did anyone else notice that he had to READ his apology? How do you need a script on a 13 second apology? LOL.

The script probably came from ESPN.
I thought it was hilarious the reaction by Herbie was classic.

This is clearly one of the highlights of the 2011 season, and may be one of the college football highlights of the century. I LMAO when I watched it. I agree, Herbie's reaction was the stuff of classics, it was like it was out of an R rated sports comedy movie........

My wife was watching when he let loose with the F bomb. We have recorded it because we had friends coming over and knew we would have to stop watching when they arrived. When it happened, we looked at each other and I said, did you hear what Corso just said? I lost it each time we replayed it. Like Forrest Gump might say" Stupid is what stupid does" might fit in this classic on air moment. Watching his co-hosts' reaction was funnier than Corso's actions.They were even better in slow motion and watching their facial expressions. Priceless. :aaaaa3
