And just like that, Notre Dame again adds another myth and legend to its trophy case, even if it's someone with a single natty.

Lou Holtz left a permanent imprint on football because he was a man who loved the game and knew and respected his players.

The damage PSU did to itself is bigger than you think.

It's funny..I'm not quote old enough to really remember the PSU vs ND rivalry of the 80s, but I distinctly remember thinking Holtz was less than savory and then this book was published that paints a very different picture than the American Thinker headline...


"In the last decade, however, Notre Dame has been linked with a wholly different set of values. Trash talking. Pregame fights. Off-field hell-raising. Academic misfits. Steroids. All the earmarks of a renegade program spinning out of control. How could this have happened at the one school people want so much to believe in?
......In hiring Lou Holtz, Notre Dame chose to ignore questions about Holtz’s past and to concentrate on the wins he brought to every team he coached.
....Under the Tarnished Dome further reveals the dark side of Holtz’s methods: the physical and emotional abuse of his athletes; his callous and potentially dangerous treatment of players who are injured; his tacit acceptance of and outright failure to punish players for using steroids to boost themselves up to his demanded levels; the scent of scandal and suspicion that has followed him throughout his coaching career; and the hypocritical statements and out-and-out lies he utters when speaking publicly about his coaching past– or future."
