With ND Nation continuing to pray for Coach Lou Holtz and his family, it’s a great time to flashback to the 2009 Japan Bowl (at the Tokyo Dome) where Coach Lou Holtz came back to coach his former players in one last game. Lou Holtz led 57 of his former players to a 19-3 victory over the Japanese National Team. MVP of the game went to former RB Jay Vickers. Included in this video is two locker room speeches by Coach Holtz

It was always destiny that Lou Holtz be the head football coach at Notre Dame. As he tells it, even when he excepted the job at Minnesota it was on the promise that if Minnesota excepted a bowl bid and Notre Dame came calling he was free to go but only to Notre Dame. No one expected him to turn around Minnesota as fast as he did. Minnesota excepted a bowl bid after just his second season and a week later Notre Dame came calling, but it didn’t come without stipulations as Fr Joyce told him “we don’t take transfers here. We don’t redshirt athletes. We don’t have an athletic dorm. We don’t have an athletic table. We’re gonna play the most difficult schedule we can find and we expect to win. The other thing we don’t change and it’s nonnegotiable is we have a policy that the head coach can’t make more than the President at Notre Dame.” Lou Holtz responded with “that doesn’t bother me.” He excepted the position and the rest is history! ☘️

This deleted scene from the all-new director’s cut of the movie Rudy explains why NDFB winning is so important for us Catholics and why it’s not just about a FB game. It’s about the anti-Catholic attitude from the beginning of this country’s founding that still exists to 2day

I spoke to C/O 2027 Elite 5⭐️ DL Marcus Fakatou (32nd Natl. #2 Pos.) following his visit to Notre Dame this past weekend. What he told me will have Irish fans buzzing! “They (Notre Dame) are for sure in my top 2. It’s a special place. They have the best of both worlds, great football program and great education program.” He also told me that he expects to announce his decision “after his official visits are over sometime around the end of July.” Make no bones about it landing Marcus Fakatou would be a MASSIVE get for the Irish! ☘️ 🎥 IG madebytaeg 📸 Marcus Fakatou 🇹🇴

#77 days until Notre Dame Football returns so it’s a great time to flashback to Oct. 22, 1977 for the “Green Jersey” game against SoCal! Dan Devine, along with the team’s seniors, orchestrated the ultimate psychological edge that resulted in the Irish dominating the Trojans, 49-19, sparking a run to the national championship.
