Heh. After ESPN pulled that ad due to protests from disgruntled Vol fans, I wrote a followup ad. I e-mailed it to Corso, but never heard back from him. Oh well.

Wide shot of ESPN hallway. Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit are walking down the hall. They're in bad shape. Orange-colored grime is all over their clothes, part of Herbstreit's pants are ripped away, like he's been attacked by a rabid blue-tick hound. Corso had a partially eaten chocolate covered, kreme-filled donut stuck in his hair. In addition, he is sporting a black eye and is walking, shall we say, a little gingerly.
Herbstreit: Man, those Tennessee fans have no sense of humor.
Corso (dejected): So what now?
Herbstreit: How about Bama? Something about Bryant?
They continue down the hall.
Corso: Yeah! We can have this huge family of rednecks filing out of the elevator, and the father will be introducing them to people--"This is my son Bear, this is my daughter MaeBear, this is my bastard stepchild TommyBear..."
They get to the elevator. Corso presses the button.
Herbstreit:--Or how about something with Big Al? Have him sneaking a flask out of his trunk? And what about those two idiots with the toilet paper and Tide detergent? We can have a desperate fan dragging them towards the rest rooms 'cause there's no toilet paper left.
Corso: Perfect!
They both laugh. Life is good.
The elevator bell rings. The doors open. Corso and Herbstreit stop dead in their tracks. The "Roll Tide Roll" boys from Scottsboro are standing there. They stare down Corso and Herbstreit, brandishing their plungers, murder in their eyes. Behind and between the two stands Big Al. Very slowly, very deliberately, with lots of malice, Big Al extracts a billy club from his trunk.
C & H are stunned. Nobody says anything. Nobody moves. In the distance, crickets chirp. Finally, the elevator doors close again. Wordlessly, Corso and Herbstreit exchange resigned looks, turn, and trudge back down the hall, their tails between their legs. They walk past Bill Curry, who's slumped against a wall, stifling back laughter.
As they walk, the camera pans so that we see them walking away from us.
Herbstreit pulls up.
Herbstreit: Penn State!
Corso (grinning): So what *is* a "Nittany", anyway?
They continue down the hall, a newfound spring in their step. The ESPN Gameday logo is displayed on the screen.
Herbstreit: And I saw Paterno chase that ref--he can't catch me...
Corso: Yeah, he's not so fast, my friend.
