摘要：科索（Corso）在俄亥俄体育场的50码线处做出了赛前预测，此时距离开球仅剩16分钟。这与1996年首次在“马蹄铁”体育场外停车场进行的预测形成了鲜明对比。
俄亥俄州哥伦布市（美联社）——与首次选择如出一辙，李·科尔索（Lee Corso）最终的头饰选择仍是布鲁图斯·七叶树（Brutus Buckeye）。
科索（Corso）在他最后一次亮相ESPN《大学橄榄球日》节目时，预测排名第三的俄亥俄州立大学七叶树队将击败排名第一的得克萨斯大学长角牛队。
科索（Corso）在俄亥俄体育场的50码线处做出了赛前预测，此时距离开球仅剩16分钟。这与1996年首次在“马蹄铁”体育场外停车场进行的预测形成了鲜明对比。
科尔索在周六节目的开场环节中表示：'感谢每一位参与这段旅程的人。'
这是科尔索第45次戴上布鲁图斯·巴凯的头套。在此前的场合中，俄亥俄州立大学的战绩为31胜14负。
瑞安·戴教练赠予科尔索一顶俄亥俄州立大学头盔，上面装饰着七叶树叶片——每次他选择七叶树队时都会获得一片。戴教练还额外准备了一枚贴纸，以备科尔索再次选择这支球队时使用。
当地一家餐厅还制作了一个重达85磅的布鲁图斯头像蛋糕。
8月7日迎来90岁生日的科尔索，自1987年《GameDay》节目开播以来便参与其中，并以简单的哲学理念为赛前节目增添了娱乐性：'橄榄球只是载体，亲爱的，这才是娱乐。'
这场三小时的节目与其说是收官之作，不如说是对科尔索的致敬。除了回顾科尔索的职业生涯外，节目还分析了周六的关键比赛，并包含对比尔·贝利奇克的专访——这位教练将于周一晚间率领北卡罗来纳大学队首次迎战得克萨斯基督教大学队。
这也是《GameDay》节目第26次来到哥伦布市。1996年10月5日，在俄亥俄体育场外，科尔索（Corso）标志性的头盔预测环节首次登场。
在俄亥俄州立大学对阵宾夕法尼亚州立大学的比赛前，科索戴上了布鲁图斯·七叶树的头套，随后的一切便载入了史册。
科尔索曾佩戴过69所不同学校的吉祥物头饰，并装扮过圣母大学的战斗爱尔兰小精灵、斯坦福大学的树形吉祥物，以及历史人物詹姆斯·麦迪逊和本杰明·富兰克林。然而，布鲁图斯始终是科尔索的最爱，他共佩戴其头饰达45次。
科尔索在头饰预测方面的胜率高达66.5%（286胜144负），远胜于他执教路易斯维尔大学、印第安纳大学和北伊利诺伊大学15年间73胜85负6平的成绩。
除ESPN外，福克斯体育（Fox Sports）也播出了科尔索（Corso）的选择。

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Just as it was the first time, Lee Corsos final headgear pick was Brutus Buckeye.
Corso selected the third-ranked Buckeyes to beat top-ranked Texas on his final appearance on ESPNs College GameDay on Saturday.
Corso made the prediction on the 50-yard line at Ohio Stadium 16 minutes before kickoff, quite a change from the first time in 1996 when it was done in the parking lot outside the Horseshoe.
To everyone who has been a part of the journey, thank you, Corso said during the opening segment of Saturdays show.
It is the 45th time Corso donned Brutus Buckeyes head. Ohio State is 31-14 the previous occasions.
Coach Ryan Day gave Corso an Ohio State helmet with a buckeye leaf on it for each time he chose the Buckeyes. Day also gave Corso an additional sticker to put on in case he picked the Buckeyes.
A local restaurant also made an 85-pound cake of Brutus head.
Corso, who turned 90 on Aug. 7, has been a part of GameDay since its start in 1987 and has made pregame shows entertaining under a simple philosophy: Football is just the vehicle. Its entertainment, sweetheart.
The three-hour show was a celebration of Corso more than a finale. Besides looking back at Corsos career, the show analyzed Saturdays key games and included an interview with Bill Belichick, who makes his debut with North Carolina on Monday night against Texas Christian.
It also was GameDays 26th appearance in Columbus. It was outside Ohio Stadium on Oct. 5, 1996, where Corsos popular headgear prediction segment began.
Corso donned Brutus Buckeyes head before Ohio State faced Penn State, and the rest is history.
Corso has worn 69 different schools mascot headgear and has dressed up as Notre Dames Fighting Irish leprechaun, the Stanford tree, and historic figures James Madison and Benjamin Franklin. However, Brutus remains Corsos first love, wearing it 45 times.
Corso has a 66.5% winning rate on his headgear predictions (286-144), which is much better than his 73-85-6 mark in 15 years as a coach at Louisville, Indiana, and Northern Illinois.
Besides ESPN, Fox Sports showed Corsos pick.
