'10 CO ATH Danny Spond (Notre Dame Man)

[dublinirish]

Danny has long been one of my favorite guys!

me too man, i know i will be emotional when he runs out on Senior Day to be greeted by his family. Seems like such a great kid, its sad his career was cut so short.

 

[Luckylucci]

It was really cool seeing him with the guys on one of the recent TSM's. He looked to be in great spirits and still being with the team I imagine helps.

 

[dublinirish]

i think ive said this before but i get similar migraines as Danny does but not to the same extent, the 2 day head aches, numbness on the left side and blurred/starry vision. It really sucks and I wouldnt wish it on anyone. I am convinced though they are caused by low blood sugar or iron levels but research in the whole area is very light and alot of things are still unexplained. best of luck to Danny anyhow would love to see him stick around the program maybe as a GA.

God bless you, warrior.

You did the right thing.

 

[rtrn2glory]

sorry if this has been stated, but in another thread it mentions how danny has been already offered 3 jobs.

does anyone know if those are coaching jobs or simply jobs in line with his career of choice? i'm thinking danny would be an excellent addition to the staff as a GA next year and maybe position coach down the line. no one better to represent the true meaning of choosing Notre Dame coming from a guy with unfortunate first hand experience

 

[clashmore_mike]

Not coaching jobs. His mother said he had several CEO's and other ND alumni wanting to interview him.

9 mins..something got in my eye...dang

they need to let Danny kit up on Senior Day and at least get to line up in a victory formation or something, he's earned it.

From the video too, it seems like Danny would have been a season long Team Captain his senior year. Thats just heart-breaking he is not on the field.

Gotcha

 

[gkIrish]

Is he planning on pursuing a career in coaching? I could see him being the head coach at ND one day.

He's first up when Kelly leaves for the NFL next year.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

I saw that video and cried. ND better offer him a grad assistant coaching position. Tommy and Danny, wouldn't it be grand to see them coaching against each other in a NC game in the future?

Done.

 

[RyCo1983]

Done.

I applaud you sir!

 

[irishpat183]

Not even a question to walk away with your health, Danny.

Good luck in the future, buddy. But I doubt you'll need luck with character like that.

 

[IrishJayhawk]

Awesome.

 

[FearTheBeard]

Amazing story, i couldnt imagine being in his position and hes handled it so well. Just flat out awesome person

 

[choo choo]

Danny Spond is one of those rare people that ooze character and integrity. He exemplifies what the University of Notre Dame represents. It wouldn't surprise me to see him become a permanent member of the coaching staff. I, for one, would be proud to see him on the sidelines coaching for many years to come. The team and the university will always be a place Danny can call home.

hell to the yeah

 

[NDohio]

Didn't know if this had been posted anywhere. Danny has started a motivational company. Pretty neat stuff.
