I agree...when I was younger, him doing that is the only reason I watched

He will have to hang it up soon. It's hard to watch

its not his speech so much, but his comprehension.

His notecard defense of Bobby Bowden was alarming.

Poor guy. You can see him trying to interject when the other guys are talking, but he just can't get the words out.

He can come back from it. It takes time to retrain your speech. But, it also might not.

And it was hard watching him defend Bowden.

He sounds better when off the cuff than when reading a prepared note.

Not always. He may completely comprehend but is unable to articulate. I found this out with a few stroke victims my family including my mom. It's heartbreaking to see this and I feel so much for him as well as his family.

He seems to do ok if he's not reading scripted material. His reading skills will more than likely improve with time if he doesn't have a set back!

I sure hope Corso recovers and I wish him the best. Like him or not he has been wonderful for college football.

Hopefully. Watching him brought back so many memories of my Mom who had the same difficulties. It has only been a few months and I pray he improves like she did.

They were talking about Bobby Bowden's contributions. Lee Corso contributed greatly to this sport as well.

That's unfortunate. He's truly a good guy and very entertaining. I had the opportunity to meet him after Gameday in Gainesville a few years back and he's very personable.

Here's to a full recovery in the long run
