Live updates from wild Bloomington

Former Colts punter Pat McAfee continues to be one of the best hype men in sports. He thrilled the crowd as they bragged about “the great state of INDIANA!” Chants of “Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoosiers!” follow.

Saturday marks an especially emotional homecoming for Corso, whose 1979 Holiday Bowl team — the first in IU history to win a bowl game — is already in town for a planned reunion. GameDay is planning some special moments honoring Corso and his team on Saturday.

“We’re at Penn State. As you probably know, they always pass the Lions to the top of Beaver Stadium. We were out on Old Main and I said, “What if we brought the lion back through the crowd?” And I think it was Herbstreit who said, “What if we got LC to do it?” That was probably 2016. So I go up to him and say, “Yeah, we'll do that.” Well, as Friday afternoon went on, I was getting more and more nervous about the idea of ​​getting Lee back through this huge crowd, so I talked to security a little bit. They said, “We'll keep an eye on him.” I'm not sure that's a good idea, I'm not sure we should do that.” I said, “OK, let's see how it goes in the morning is.”

“Saturday morning is coming. We are about to do it. The security forces panic. 'We don't know if we can get him back on set in time for the show. We don't know if they'll make it.' “We will have him put down. We don't know what's going to happen.” So I tell our then-director Rodney Perez, “Open up to LC, I'll tell him.” I said, “LC, hey man, security isn't worried about it, Lee. ” Lee said, “Damn, darling!” It was one of the great openings with this great audience, and I think that was one of my many, many great memories that made me nervous. It was because of the logistics of the show, and he said : “No, people are going to like this, remember, we’re doing it.” And it was great.
