PRAYERS FOR COACH HOLTZ🙏🙏

[Jimmy3Putt]

I used to pretend I was trying out for his Irish team when we were getting thrashed in basic training. Lou motivated me without even knowing.

RIP

Saw someone post we should wear the 88 jerseys for a game this year. We should absolutely do it for Miami

Should wear the ‘88 shoulder pads for a game, too

I remember an interview w/ Bevaqua when he was hired regarding Coach Holtz. As y’all know, Pete was a walk-on at ND. He was told by someone who asked Coach Holtz about his time at ND that Holtz said he “Had a heart of a lion”. Later Bevaqua learned that is the phrase Holtz used when describing a former player that he couldn’t recall but wanted to say something positive about the person.

Lou’s Overture 💚 #GoIrish☘️

I can't hear the 1812 Overture without thinking of Lou. They still do it every game of course since he left, but I feel like it's always tied to him first and foremost.

I had the pleasure of having dinner with Lou on multiple occasions, thanks to a close mutual friend. It was always at our friends house. Nothing fancy, just casual dinners. I had never met Lou before but he treated me like he had known me since I was a kid. I never met a more quick witted human. The thing that always stuck out to me is that he always remembered me and treated me like I mattered. Which is crazy to me because this man had met and was in constant communication with more people in one year that I have been in my lifetime.
RIP to not only the greatest ND coach of my lifetime but to one of the greatest people I have ever had the honor of meeting.

You lucky dude.

It's less exciting when you realize "dinner with lou at a friend's house" means watching Marcus have dinner with Lou through binoculars.

They always left their table scraps on the back door steps for me when dinner was over

Minor note on people dressed for funerals. Everyone looks like they belong.

I attended my friend's wife's funeral last summer in my lawyer costume. The widower and I were the only men wearing neckties. Is this because society is just that informal? Or is it because it was 100 F Arizona so the standards do not apply?

The last funeral I attended was dead of winter in OH. I was the only person wearing a suit and tie.

 

[greyhammer90]

I think the fact that they have become so rarely used has led to a lot of people just not owning a suit anymore or owning one and then they realize that they are too fat for it when a relative dies 10 years later.

I think it’s just society being informal which is kind of sad. I always wear a suit and tie as a sign of respect for the deceased and ceremony.

I had to borrow a suit for my fire department interview, 12 years later I still don’t own one of my own. Funerals or a wedding I’ll respectfully wear a nice pair of slacks and a button up. Most likely it’s a generational thing but I’ve never felt under dressed attending an event. I’m just not a suit jacket kind of guy

As usual, it appears that everything ND did was first class.

The necktie has to be one of the strangest mens fashion customs. Men willingly wearing something that could be used to choke themselves seems a foolish decision. A Google search says they were introduced in the 1600's, popularized in the 1800s.

In the business world, I only am asked to wear one about once/ year.

Every man needs to have a suit. Other people expect that you are taking it seriously.
You can get one at JC Penny that looks 95% as well as a tailored one.

As for the size, well, I get two or three sized pants per jacket

I didn’t realize Penny’s was still in operation much less sold men’s suits. But I agree w/ your sentiment. Doesn’t have to be Canali, just get something affordable & find a good tailor. A good tailor can make you look like a million bucks in a $200 suit.

Excellent point. A well tailored suit from the mall looks much better than an ill fitting suit from Savile Row.

Maybe we should normalize beach funerals. Shorts and flip flops approved

I just had to bury my Grams last month. Hadn’t wore my suit for like 5 years. Wasn’t pleasantly surprised that it still fits like a glove.
