ESPN College Gameday announced that rapper Rick Ross is the celebrity guest picker in Tuscaloosa in anticipation of the LSU and Alabama game. The show has leaned heavily on country music artists so far this season and now adds a rapper to the celebrity guest picker list.
It was a highly entertaining end to the show as Ross and Corso bantered back and forth.
GameDay picks recap:
Pollack: 🐘
Bear: 🐘
Herbie: 🐯
Des: 🐯
Rick Ross: 🐘
Corso: 🐯
Corso and Ross differed on their picks. Ross went with the Crimson Tide. Corso did his usual pump fake by playing the Alabama music then switching to the the Tigers fight song before he put on the Tigers headgear complete with a Leonard Fournette style beard.
Here is Corso rocking the chains and beard:
Shoutout to all my pears.
Good looking out, @rickyrozay.
Ross posted this video on his Instagram on his way to Tuscaloosa:
