Griese, Corso, Raycom Stage Comedy of Errors in Early Game Coverage

How hard is it to get through a few hours of discussion about college football without a faux pas? Well, Lee Corso proved unable to hold his gaffe in early.

Corso's phrase of choice has other, non-sexual connotations, but Kirk Herbstreit's reaction helped convince the blogosphere at large that it wasn't quite so innocent.

Bob Griese's casual remark was far more ignorant than innocent.

That's not overtly racist, but it's the sort of stupid, tone-deaf remark that polished broadcasters simply should not make. (He did, later, apologize.)

Raycom's perennial problems, by contrast, are just adorable.

Rick "Doc" Walker, color guy extraordinaire, came up with color indeed, time and again. Raycom also introduced viewers to their Facebook presence, which has elicited choice comments in the "Just Fans" portion.

Oh, and this happened:

Farewell and good riddance, early games. Afternoon games, you have a very, very, very low bar to clear, but please do more than hop.
