This Saturday, ESPN’s College GameDay took over Bloomington, Indiana, to preview the matchup between Washington and the 13th-ranked Indiana Hoosiers. For long-time College GameDay analyst Lee Corso, this episode is especially meaningful, as Corso once served as the head coach of the Hoosiers from 1973 to 1982.
ESPN has promoted this episode as a “home game” for Corso and fellow analyst Pat McAfee, who has his own Indiana ties from his NFL career with the Indianapolis Colts.
The day is all about Corso, and he’s already won fans over with his nostalgic outfit. Corso arrived at the College GameDay set wearing a classic Indiana sweater, the very same design he sported back when he coached the team.
ESPN’s Bill Hofheimer shared a side-by-side photo of Corso in the sweater then and now, and fans across the country have embraced the moment.

College football fans, especially those with Hoosier pride, were thrilled by Corso’s look. “Lee Corso’s Indiana sweater is everything. Way to be, Coach,” one fan tweeted.
Another fan chimed in, “This is awesome. I’m so glad he was able to wear it on the show. Welcome back, Coach.” Indiana supporters showed their appreciation, with one writing, “My Indiana Football heart is happy.”
Saturday’s episode promises to be one College GameDay that Corso, the show’s hosts, and fans won’t soon forget. As for Corso’s iconic headgear pick, fans are confident that his loyalty to the Hoosiers will shine through, expecting him to go with Indiana in the final segment.
Indiana heads into this weekend with a strong 7-0 record, and current head coach Curt Cignetti has the opportunity to extend their winning streak with Corso cheering them on from the sidelines.
For Hoosier fans and College GameDay viewers, Corso’s homecoming is the highlight of the day, blending nostalgia with Indiana pride in a truly memorable broadcast.
