In this story:

ESPN's Lee Corso has already started the season picking against the Texas A&M Aggies.

Corso, the always affable former football coach who stars on ESPN Game Day is known for his elaborate picks of a team playing in the game where the broadcast stems from.

Game Day was in College Station for Saturday night's Texas A&M-Notre Dame game, Corso left the set early, as he customarily does each week, and came out to the chagrin of the Aggie faithful.

Corso was adorned in a green and white leprechaun outfit. He was then shown dancing with the Fighting Irish mascot, another leprechaun.

Corso did not say anything. He just came out and started dancing.

Former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel was the celebrity guest picker. He, of course, took Texas A&M.

Corso might have something to his pick. The Athletic's Stewart Mandel introduced an interesting statistic on for the platform formerly known as Twitter. Mandel said the Aggies are 1-8 in games where College Game Day comes to College Station.

Manziel, the former Heisman Trophy Award winner, got the Aggie faithful cheering when he made his pick. It was a no-brainer for Manziel to pick the Aggies at home.

Manziel was a former first-round selection of the Cleveland Browns. His National Football League career never panned out. He floundered in Canada and in the spring football leagues, but never seemed to be able to get his career back on track.

It should also be noted Corso picked a fellow SEC team, the Florida Gators, to lose to the Miami Hurricanes. He also predicted that the University of Texas would win the national title.
