Adjusting to Lee Corso's Absence

Episode 584 of "SI Media With Jimmy Traina" features an interview with "College GameDay" host, Rece Davis.

Davis reminisces about being at ESPN for 30 years, his early days on ESPN2 and his time as a "SportsCenter" anchor.

In addition, Davis, who has now been the host of "GameDay" for 10 years, talks about what it was like to replace Chris Fowler, his favorite Lee Corso memory, whether he cares about "GameDay" ratings, why he stayed at ESPN instead of leaving for Fox, whether he thinks he can challenge his co-hosts and the most difficult thing about hosting "GameDay."

Other topics discussed with Davis include the claim that ESPN has an SEC bias, calling Bill Belichick's first game at North Carolina and the aftermath, the Lane Kiffin saga, how he'd fix the college football playoff.

Following Davis, Sal Licata from WFAN and SNY joins Jimmy for their weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week, Sal gives an update on his WFAN status, the fellas talk about their Thanksgivings, look ahead to a monster NFL week, react to Spotify's list of the top 10 podcasts of 2025 and discuss some content creators.
