I didn’t think it would be possible for anything to top Fowler asking the kid “what do you see?” I was wrong.

Corso is amazing, that sonofabitch “not so fast”-ed a blind kid. Twice.

Have Corso and Dick Clark ever been seen in the same room together…?

All part of a clever plan to out the poser. Corso was just pissed because the kid knew more football than he did.

Favorite moment was when Folwer told the kid to only give a one word answer, because they were running out of time.

“Alamo Bowl, I need a one word answer…” Kid runs through the stop sign and begins to breakdown the Texas Tech coaching controversy.

NO DOUBT ESPN HAS INKED THE KID TO WORK WITH PAM WARD IN THE FALL OF 2010…

Ward: Breakdown the Northwestern defense in three words
Kid: Well Pam lets talk about next week’s game in Bloomington….

Getting Rick Rolled by a 12-year old, ESPN will think twice before letting aspiring sportscasters crash the GameDay set next year. Or he’ll replace Lou Holtz…..

At least he didn’t raise his voice volume when speaking to the kid.

Corso wears Duck Heads? That’s so Nineteen Ninety-late.

Right after this incident they introduced the “Sights of the Decade” montage. Prolly the most uncomfortable two minutes in the history of broadcast sports.

Jesus H. Christ, they only play one football game a year at the Citrus Bowl and they can’t get the field to look any better than this? Epic fail, Orlando. The Heinz Field grounds crew is pointing and laughing at you.

Champs Sports Bowl?

OK, two games, I forgot about the other bowl game. Still… come on.

I wonder if Capital One is pissed about their logo being rubbed off on the field.

Montage of LSU kicker making game-tying and game-winning FGs against Arkansas on a perfect field, then cut to this pile of shit that he’ll have to kick on. I enjoyed that.

I knew I didn’t imagine this. Good things really do happen when you wake up before noon on a Friday.

They also played 8 Florida High School Championship games on the field since the middle of December. The field has seen a ton of use, plus a ton of bad weather in the last month. Not really excusing it, but it’s not just from two games.
