Consider these statistics from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association:
- Each year about 795,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke. About 600,000 of these are first attacks, and 185,000 are recurrent attacks.
- On average, every 40 seconds someone in the United States has a stroke.
- When considered separately from other cardiovascular diseases, stroke ranks No. 3 among all causes of death, behind diseases of the heart and cancer.
- On average, every three to four minutes someone dies of a stroke.

Corso is a great ambassador for college football. A lot of people may find his commentary over the top, and while they may have a point, I think he is good for the game.
I was suprised to see him back on the College Gameday set last year. You could tell he was still having some trouble talking, but it took a lot of courage to get back out there. He along with Dick Vitale have proven there is life after stroke.
