At home I have a copy of the April 21, 1986, issue of 'Sports Illustrated.' I'm on the cover with the blurb, 'Can Lou Do It?' I'd just arrived at Notre Dame, and with spring football underway, I was the focal point of that week's coverage.

It is a fine thing to have ability, but the ability to discover ability in others is the true test.
I believe that having a spiritual life is so important in everybody's life.
