It’s been 38 years since Corso helped launch the flagship school soccer broadcast, and 29 years since he first donned a mascot head to lock in a decide — picks that had been proper most of the time.
His first-ever headgear decide was for THE Ohio State, so it was solely becoming that, for his final prediction, he donned the pinnacle of Brutus Buckeye one remaining time.

Standing in the best way of Corso’s decide had been the Texas Longhorns, coming into Columbus behind Arch Manning for the primary highway begin of his profession.
It had been 2,084 days since Arch’s uncle, Eli, performed his final recreation for the New York Giants, bringing to a short lived pause the household legacy Peyton Manning started with the Indianapolis Colts in 1998. With a dynastic identify on his shoulders and a $6.8 million NIL valuation behind him, Arch Manning took the sphere in Columbus able to make Lee Corso remorse his last-ever headgear decide.
He didn’t succeed.
Manning, thought-about a robust contender for the primary decide within the 2026 NFL Draft and a Heisman Trophy favourite, accomplished simply 17 of 30 passes for a complete of 170 yards. He threw for one late landing, and threw one crushing interception.
It was broadly remarked on X and in group chats throughout the nation that Manning threw fewer touchdowns than commercials he appeared in Saturday — for Elevating Cane’s, the athleisure model Vuori, and, for some cause, Warby Parker.

Haters will say that Arch’s efficiency on Saturday proves that he’s nothing however a nepo child, and a disappointing one at that. They’ll say the one factor he inherited from his uncles is a penchant for promoting automobile insurance coverage and sandwiches. They’ll say that he ought to begin getting ready for a postgrad profession at his dad’s actual property agency relatively than within the NFL.
However I’m not a hater. It’s an extended season, and Arch’s disastrous debut however, he’s nonetheless a promising participant who will doubtless fare higher down the road when he’s not taking part in the reigning school soccer champions on their dwelling turf.
Then again…I’m a little bit of a hater. And the tweets dunking on the Manning scion are just too good to not share.
So, listed here are a few of the greatest.
The identify is Rooski. Fumblerooski.
