Ha! West Virginia and the Eat #$%! Pitt Version of Sweet Caroline

((ht: thebiglead.com))

Oh, this is rich....those wacky West Virginia Mountaineers had a little fun when the ESPN College Gameday cameras stopped rolling this past Saturday morning before their game with TCU.

While in the midst of a rollicking/large crowd version of that perennial Neil Diamond fan favorite, "Sweet Caroline"...a few words got changed.

And it made reference to the Mountaineers arch rivals from just up the river---The Pittsburgh Panthers.

The Gameday crew also seemed to get a good laugh at it....

SEC Network Launches: Millions of Southerners Won't Leave Home Til January

As many of you know to us who live in the Southeastern U.S, College Football is a fairly big deal. It's truly a year around sport and anywhere from Texas to South Carolina, you'll find a ton of people who don't now how to converse about anything other that football.

And Thursday evening with great fanfare in some places and zero fanfare in others, ESPN launched their SEC TV Network.

The "Network" will deliver non-stop SEC sports to hungry masses clamoring for all things gymnastics.

Here's your opening segment:



And yes, they'll have a few football games.

Heck, they even have their own "Gameday" crew. And it will be really interesting to see what happens on the day the big "College Gameday" crew shows up at the same place the "SEC" crew does.

Admittedly we got some laughs based on the Social Media posts of some of our friends lauding the launch quite possibly without knowing they'll have an endless run of Paul Finebaum quotes and smiling Tim Tebow as the faces of their so-called network. And perhaps not realizing that the better SEC games will still appear on CBS or on ESPN the Mothership. But that's another story for another day.

And for the rest of you who are not quite so enthused or don't talk SEC football 24/7, 365 days a year just remember when your cable or satellite bill goes up at the end of the year, you can thank your friends on "The Network". And never forget our friends at the 4-letter also are the creators of the incredibly popular Longhorn Network.

If you are wondering about the stellar-ific programming, look no further than this SEC feature on stadium renovations:

#NotSoFastMidget, Corso Schools 5-Year-Old, Chokes Out Duck

((HT: Big Lead Sports))

They got there before we could... they're more technologically advanced...

The Oregon kid who is a fan of the Ducks sang the @CollegeGameday song last year...
As a follow-up, they had young Braden be their guest picker...

Corso was not suffering fools here...
#NopencilNoMercy
((HT: ESPN))


But what followed (and the HQ is sure will be making the rounds) is the kid making a better headdress than any other guest picker and Corso trying to choke out a live duck...

We think Gameday is on to something...
Even if it does scare the crap out of @KirkHerbstreit

Ooops..Corso drops "F" bomb on Gameday

For many of you--and us watching College Gameday this morning on ESPN, you may have heard a bad word.

At the end of the show, as we all know, Lee Corso puts on the mascot headgear of the team he thinks will win the game the show is at. In this case, the Houston/SMU game.

If you listen closely, you can hear Corso say f*7! it as he puts on the Cougar head.

 He apparently was made to apologize for getting caught up in the moment. We are sure somehow, somewhere, somebody will act offended by this...the rest of us just thought it was one of the most loveable guys on TV just getting too excited.

Anyway, here's your apology:
