Please do not go away. Your posts are absolute treasures and one of the great joys of reading the board.

Re: Boryla - unfortunately, I did not have an opportunity to meet him. I have met and spoken to many of his close friends in East Chicago, including some high school teammates. I was always given the impression that Vince liked Notre Dame and enjoyed his time at ND, but did not love ND like so many do.

I also believe that Vinny might have been ahead of his time when it comes to NIL - but I will save that for another day.
