It's football time, baby, which means you're going to need a new setup.

To commemorate the official start of college football weekend, Samsung is teaming up with legendary coach Lee Corso, who, after four decades of bringing passion, humor, and unforgettable moments to fans every Saturday as host of ESPN’s college football, is now retiring and preparing for his newest chapter: watching college football from the comfort of his own home.

To celebrate, Coach Corso and help him stay in the game at home, Samsung is delivering a college football viewing experience that lives up to the legend himself with the ultimate fan-worthy Samsung TV setup – along with help from longtime on-air partner Desmond Howard and inspired by real college football fans.

So, here's the deal: From now until CFB week one kickoff on Sunday, 9/7, fans can get their own legendary fan-worthy TV set up like Coach Corso featuring the Samsung Neo QLED 4K TV at nearly 50% off using the promo code “TVLIKELEE” at checkout. The setup also includes a neon sign of Corso's iconic catchphrase, “Not So Fast, My Friend!,” a portrait of a pesky bulldog that has followed Coach in his career, larger-than-life pencils that have been a Saturday Staple for Coach for decades and fan-inspired signs honoring the Saturday legend.

Of his deal, Corso said in a statement, "After nearly 40 years of coaching and analyzing college football games on the field, I’m really looking forward to my first Saturday catching gameday at home with my family. Now, thanks to Samsung, I have the ultimate TV setup to make me feel like I’m still right there in the game!"

I’m honored to partner with Samsung to celebrate his retirement by giving him a TV set up as legendary as the man himself! It was awesome to see how excited fans got to be a part of this moment too, and they helped pick out what we’d be putting in the space – including not only the super big Samsung TV, but the neon sign with his catch phrase, his larger-than-life pencils fully stocked, and even a portrait of that pesky bulldog that followed Coach around in his career."
