Even God hates Corso

In 2000, even God got tired of Corso's never ending blather and penchant for talking over anything good Herbstreit was about to say. When he picked VT to win the BCA classic against GT, and to score at least 45 points (well, as bad as some of O'Leary defenses were - maybe that wasn't such a bad prediction), his rental car was struck by lightning and ruined.

Over the years now Corso has tried to play this off as God exacting revenge on him for not picking VT to win the national championship in that same show - he even went so far as to say on the kickoff show for the next season, "Last year when I did not pick Virginia Tech, lightning hit my car. And I said 'I don't know what a Hokie is, but God is one of them.' So I'm going with God. I'm going with Virginia Tech." It's good to see that Corso even screws up what God says to him, because it was pretty clear the lightning was for picking against GT, not VPI.

So this is your chance at redemption here Corso - you better not screw it up again. If you pick VPI during the Gameday preview on Saturday morning - well, lets just hope Herbstreit and Fowler don't get caught in the blast wave.

Actually ... maybe Corso picking against GT wouldn't be such a bad thing after all, it's not like he's ever right to begin with - and if God takes action again, it's a win / win.
