Lee Corso has taken his gimmick to the next level. On Saturday, while ESPN College Gameday was trotting about Times Square, our mascot-decapitator friend decided it was time to don the gear worn by Lady Liberty herself. That's right, Uncle Lee Corso became — magically — the Statue of Liberty.

Again, the Statue of Liberty.

No. Stop right there. Do not pass go and do not college 200 American dollars. You need to see it before you leave this here blog post. Here it is:

God bless the United States of America.

Twitter is having its usual fun with this. At the same time, given circumstances that add context to all of this (but we won't talk about that), people are a bit all over the place on this fine Saturday morning.

Anyway, I do wonder if anyone remembers that Lee Corso was once a college football coach before becoming the man wearing mascot heads on Saturdays. I wonder if he cares — or not, for that matter — if people remember that part of his backstory.

Corso's legacy in college football will likely be that of the guy who coined “not so fast, my friend” and becoming a mostly beloved fixture in the sport's media bubble. Here is to hoping that we invent some sort of medicine that will keep that man alive for the rest of time.

If you are anti-Corso living forever, you are probably not a true American. Both white and blue-collar folk adore this man as if he was their own crazy, but neat uncle.

I love you, Lee!
