In reply to: "Just" another Notre Dame Football Walkon Player... posted by Moff
year with a 75 percent scholarship, so I had that going for me, which was nice. Every once in a while I got to pretend to be a walkon, playing QB, WR or CB (or just extra weight on the two man sled) during position drills while the walkons were otherwise engaged with their own position coaches
I want to be you.
It must have been awesome to do what you did at ND
I met him at a book signing at The Bookstore. I mentioned I was a senior manager under Lou. Johnny was like, "Wow! That must have been something working for him!" and was gnuinely enthusiastic about it and ask some questions. I thought to myself "Wow! that must have been something to PLAY for FRANK LEAHY, and win the Heisman, etc....." What a great guy, and you are cut from the same cloth. I hope Heaven involves ongoing ND Football practices in the sky. I'd love to work for your Dad (and his coach too). :)
