After Olivia Dunne’s appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay, football fans on social media said the same thing, making a comment about 89-year-old Lee Corso sitting next to her.
Dunne and Pittsburgh Pirates boyfriend Paul Skenes were guest co-selectors on the show, sitting in the middle of the panel between Pat McAfee and Corso.
Corso sat immediately to Dunne’s left and the action of picking the winners of the day’s biggest matchups was interpreted by fans as the broadcast legend turning on his charm.
Dunne has become a social media sensation and one of the highest earners in college sports through NIL thanks to her gymnastics career at LSU.
Now she has been in Corso’s aura and fans were amused.
Olivia Dunne was a guest selector on ESPN’s College GameDay and sat next to Lee Corso.
Many online college football fans said the same thing about Dunne and Corso sitting together.
“If Livvy Dunne grazed Lee Corso, that might be enough to put him away forever,” said one college football fan.
‘Skenes has to be careful with Lee Corso. Look at the way Livvy looks at him. The guy just has it.’
“Lee Corso chatting with Livvy Dunne on TV feels like she’s taken too much Benadryl.”
‘Is ESPN trying to kill off Corso by seating him next to Livvy Dunne? “That’s a lot for any man, let alone an 89-year-old man.”

Corso has been married to his wife, Betsy Youngblood, since 1957, nearly five decades before Dunne was born.
Dunne and Skenes met at LSU and have been a couple for more than a year, first trying to keep their romance private, before taking the plunge and receiving a media blitz.
College GameDay was held in Baton Rouge as a precursor to LSU football playing Alabama tonight in a nationally ranked matchup.
