@TheNikonJones @slmandel Thank you for those shots

@ReceDavis @slmandel I covered the BCS Sugar Bowl in 2010 and captured you working with him. He's a legend of the game. RIP Coach.

I have so many memories running through my mind. Few people have impacted my life the way Lou Holtz did. So many relationships and friendships are because of him. I won’t ever be able to fully repay his confidence in me and his kindness. I’ll always cherish the memories

The Lou Holtz newspaper trick has been stuck in my head for more than a decade. Blows my mind every time.

Louis Leo “Lou” Holtz, legendary college football coach, Hall of Famer, bestselling author, and one of America’s most influential motivational voices, has passed away at the age of 89 in Orlando, Florida, surrounded by family. Born January 6, 1937, in Follansbee, West Virginia, Holtz rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most respected figures in college athletics. Over a remarkable five‑decade career, he led college programs at William & Mary, NC State, Arkansas, Minnesota, Notre Dame, and South Carolina.  He transformed every team he inherited and captured the 1988 National Championship with the Fighting Irish. Holtz was preceded in death by his beloved wife of more than 50 years, Beth, with whom he shared a life grounded in faith, devotion, and service.   Holtz is remembered for his enduring values of faith, family, service, and an unwavering belief in the potential of others. His influence extended far beyond the football field through the Holtz Charitable Foundation and the many players, colleagues, and communities shaped by his leadership. He is survived by his four children, nine grandchildren, and two great‑grandchildren. Funeral arrangements, including a Mass of Christian Burial at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame, will be announced as details are finalized. The Holtz Family

Exemplary family. Fantastic young man.

Lessons football can learn from hoops. Messages vs the right messenger. And why didn’t we get the invitation to the Summit? @CollegeGameDay pod. @PeteThamel @DanWetzel are here. youtu.be/5c0pksyYiIk

Somehow we got through the Arizona @CollegeGameDay show with Mixmaster Mike’s equipment unscathed.

Happy birthday to @ESPNRadio host & college football reporter @Ianfitzespn. 2026 is already off to a great start for Ian: He worked another CFP National Championship, and this month he watched his brother Devin (as asst. special teams coach w/ the Seahawks) win Super Bowl LX.

Agree with every word.

The lengths @PeteThamel will go to for morning coffee. @DanWetzel and his love for hockey and bridges. Plus @nfl combine talk, top qbs for next year and advice to college ADs—don’t duck big games. @CollegeGameDay pod. youtu.be/SHiLZfWBlqQ

Goes for college coaches too.

@JasonRomano Jason, I’m sorry for your loss. Praying for you

With heavy hearts, we share that my wife's brother Jay has passed away. mcveighfuneralhome.com/obituaries/joh…

@JasonRomano Just prayed (& will continue in prayer) for you and your family.

This week our family suffered an immense tragedy. You never think it will happen to your family, until it does. We are leaning on our faith in Jesus but this is really hard to fathom. We covet your prayers.

This part of @CollegeGameDay podcast with @ReceDavis has produced some “reaction” - would Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State ever bail on the Big Ten to do their own thing?
