'10 FL DT Louis Nix (Notre Dame Man)

[Irish YJ]

Big guy should get into coaching when he heals up, I imagine with his personality he could connect well

I think he's doing something along those lines. I saw some vid not too long ago of him holding a bag while kids were bouncing off. Can't recall much, but looked like HS or maybe college.

But I agree. Do whatever it takes to get out of Jax, if that's the issue.

Besides fans, a lot of former players have been contributing and sharing the link online. Players and ND family I saw in the GoFundMe: Marquis Dickerson, Brad Carrico, Davaris Daniels, Kendall Moore II, Jarron Jones, Cole Luke, Julian Okwara, Coach Elston, Ryan Harris, Danny Spond, Dan McCarthy, and THE Bruce Heggie. Tom Mendoza donated $1000 too.

As far as cash, it can go fast at the Pro level. Gotta pay your agent, guys pay for trainers, supplements, injuries set you back, and it sounds like he's been taking care of his dad too who had a heart attack.

Yeah. $1.2 million isn't much in all honesty. After taxes and agent fees he probably only had like $750,000 or even less.

I wouldn't completely blame him if he doesn't have much cash anyway. He was a Film and TV major, not Finance ha! Would love to see Lou on TV, think his personality would be great. Saw that Zaire has been working with CBS the last 2 years.

A bit of good news! Big Lou is out of the hospital today!!!

 

[philipm31]

AWESOME NEWS!!!

 

[ulukinatme]

A bit of good news! Big Lou is out of the hospital today!!!

[greyhammer90]

Agree. Lou should host a drive time sports talk show IMO.

Re: Zaire... pretty sure I heard him doing color for an ESPN game last year.

 

[ND4LIFE]

Did it say if he had the surgery?

It was just what he posted on Facebook. I didn't ask any particulars.

[irishff1014]

There is way more to this story that’s not being told.

I hope he is ok.

 

[irishandy]

Prayers out to big Louis and his family. I hope he is OK.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Oh man. Come back to us Lou

 

[rtrn2glory]

I hate seeing this....These usually don't turn out very well. I'm praying I'm wrong.

 

[ulukinatme]

Prayers for Big Lou! What an awful period the last few months for him.

 

[ohara831]

Praying that Lou is OK. Prayers for his loved ones.

[EuropeanDomer22]

I just read a woman claiming to be her cousin that he is dead, horrible news

 

[Irish YJ]

RIP Irish Chocolate.

One of my favorite ND players ever. Probably my favorite in terms of personality and attitude.

This fucking sucks.

 

[NDdomer2]

ESPN confirming through family

 

[Irishnuke]

Horrible news. RIP Big Man.

 

[Luckylucci]

Very sad moment. He was always such a great personality. And I’ll always remember his role on that 2012 team.

RIP Louis.

 

[Southside Sully]

Terribly sad. I remember him when he was early on in his career and how much he wanted out of Jacksonville. Praying for him and his family. Kid seemed like such a great person, all around.

 

[Bishop2b5]

Terrible news about Nix. Seemed like such a good guy and great personality. I hate this for him and his family.

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

Dang.. Prayers for you Irish Chocolate you were one of a kind. One of my favorite players all time.
