Hey vibes man, hey jazz man, play me your serenade

Favorite Quote from an ND Coach:

We've given each other some hard lessons lately
But we ain't learnin'
We're the same sad story that's a fact
One step up and two steps back...

Be a fighter, gents. Not only out there on the football field, but out in life as well.-Frank Leahy
