Christopher Han · 12/10/10 02:21PM

ESPN College GameDay commentator Lee Corso received the "Contributions for College Football Award" last night. While thanking his co-anchors he strangely got teary-eyed; as of now he's not retiring. Maybe he was battling a disease. Maybe he loves Kirk Herbstreit?

7-NBC's producers had to have known this was going to happen the minute they decided to brand last night's Patriots/Steelers game a "Steel City Showdown," right? Let's hope the newsroom had the good sense to start a pool.
