On September 16, 2023, The Sink hosted legendary ESPN analyst and coach Lee Corso as he signed next to his caricature on our iconic Wall of Fame, painted by resident artist Sean Bailey. His signature is among a pantheon of notable figures such as President Obama, Anthony Bourdain, and Guy Fieri. Coach Corso's caricature is a testament to his enduring impact on college football.

Coach Corso's visit was particularly significant as he celebrated a milestone on ESPN's College GameDay – his 400th headgear pick. For decades, his iconic selections have added excitement and anticipation to college football Saturdays, becoming a beloved tradition for fans nationwide.
Amidst the excitement of the in-state rivalry clash between the Colorado Buffaloes and Colorado State Rams, Coach Corso made his historic pick, tipping his hat to the Buffs as they faced off against their fierce opponents. His pick was met with enthusiasm from fans and pundits alike, capturing the spirit of the Rocky Mountain Showdown.

Adding to the excitement, Jess Sims, a prominent fitness expert and reporter, joined us at The Sink before Coach Corso's momentous pick. As an integral part of ESPN's College GameDay team, Jess brought her energy and charisma to the festivities, trying out some Sink favorites with Chef Chris Cunningham.
Moments like these during our 100th Anniversary remind us of the cultural significance of college football and the unique traditions that bind us all together. As we celebrate Coach Corso's legacy and welcome new faces like Jess Sims to our community, we're reminded of the power of sports that inspire and unite us. GO BUFFS!
