Let’s see which head Corso wears
For the second time this season, Ohio State will be featured on ESPN’s College GameDay. This time, though, it will be on the Buckeyes’ campus.
GameDay will be in Columbus this weekend for Ohio State’s big-time Big Ten game against Penn State. That’s both a nod to the game’s importance and, presumably, the national perception warming to the Buckeyes.
It wasn’t long ago that athletic director Andy Geiger told ESPN and GameDay wouldn’t be welcome in Columbus because of the way the network covered the Maurice Clarett story. Earlier this year, the group was on hand for the Buckeyes’ game against USC in California, which didn’t turn out well.
Now Chris, Lee and Kirk will broadcast with an Ohio Stadium backdrop. Could this mean that the country is becoming more comfortable with paying attention to Ohio State again? And that the Big Ten isn’t the joke it was when the season began?
Or, it could just be that the ESPN folks didn’t think the weekend schedule produced any better games.
It’ll take more than a win against Penn State to get the Buckeyes back into the national embrace, of course. But winning with ESPN’s orange bus-traveling crew on site with greater national attention couldn’t hurt.

Corso will go with the Nittany Lions. He pretty much gave it away last week. That’s not a bad thing though. He’s usually wrong!
