During Covid, there was a Zoom meeting with more former ND players under Lou who are now doctors than you could shake as stick at.
Seconded on being a great guy.
Repaired my meniscus. There was a little complication as part was folded but he caught that unexpected issue during surgery. Good friend Charmelle Green picked me up at SB airport and took me to see Brian who reviewed my sonogram and explained the procedure that he would perform the next morning. Charmelle took me home, fed me and put me up for the night. When I was being wheeled into the operating room, Brian was leaning on a railing with his surgery prep all white outfit except for the colorful Notre Dame dew rag on his head. Got a good laugh there. After surgery, Brian said I could start (for the football team) in six weeks! Then Charmelle took me to the airport to fly home.
Man, what a life.
I spotted one typo you might want to correct.
You mentioned that you won a bet on the ND-USC game in 1966 that ND won by over 50. As I'm sure you know, that was the famous 1966 game in the Coliseum.
I watched it from the basement of Breen-Phillips, my Freshman dorm.
Helluva ride.
Rock on, MBO!
University of Nevada room & board refund on the ‘65 Cal game that ND won by about 50 points. Was a grad student at USC and RA in Trojan Hall in ‘66. Did bet each of my 44 undergraduate students that I was advising $2 each on that game. Little know fact that virtually all the USC students attending that game started cheering for ND to blow their team out as their disgust grew and grew as the score mounted.
And “Don’t worry men, there are hundreds of millions of Chinese who are unaware this game was played.”
know I got a telegram from China".
Thank you for the reply and clarification.
