“It’s Saturday morning. We’re about to do it. Security is starting to panic a little bit. ‘We don’t know if we can get him back on set in time for the show. We don’t know if they are ‘We’re going to put him down. We don’t know what’s going to happen. We’ll just let the Lion do it.’ So I say to our then director, Rodney Perez, ‘Open me up to LC, I’ll tell him.’ I said, “LC, hey man, security is worried about this. Forget crowd surfing. Come on down to the set, Lee.” Lee said, “No, honey! We’re doing it!” It was one of the great openings, with this great audience, and LC was led back by the Penn State audience.

He changed the way pregame shows were broadcast. wasn’t just, ‘Well, let’s see if we can block’ and all those pretenses. That’s great, it’s important, but it wasn’t just that. He was one of the first to say exactly what he thought, without worrying about it. ‘Forget it,’ the whole thing. It really changed the way I think people approached and the way they covered college football.”
