Incredible coach and person. RIP Coach Holtz😢

Do you think when, for example, Nick Saban, turns up his toes there will be an outpouring like this for him? I don’t think so. Coach Lou’s impact at Notre Dame went way beyond the football field.

Another angle of the band playing the Alma Mater with the funeral procession in view.

The Mass of Christian Burial for Coach Lou begins with the perfect line from Rev. Brian C. Ching. "If we were to start late, we might hear some yelling from Coach in the back, so we're going to do our best to start on time."

One thing that occurred to me. It’s unlikely any of those students were alive when Coach Lou coached his last game at Notre Dame in 1996. Yet, they turned out.

Smart Hoops guy: Those OSU teams were SOLID

The Band of the Fighting Irish plays one final salute to Coach Lou at the conclusion of today’s service. https://www.facebook.com/reel/900215172804354/?fs=e&fs=e

Robert Irsay founded a very successful sheet metal contracting business in Illinois. He bought the Rams in 1972, and immediately traded them for the Colts, which he moved to Indy in 1984. The family fortune comes primarily from the franchise’s appreciation in value over that time. Robert paid $19 million for the franchise in 1972. Forbes estimates the current value at $5.9 billion.

US vs. Dominican Republic in a semifinal game tomorrow.
