Lou Holtz
Nothing is as good as it seems and nothing is as bad, but somewhere between reality falls.
Lou Holtz
Sacrifice, discipline and prayer are essential. We gain strength through God's word. We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin - and it's gonna happen - confession puts us back on the field.
Lou Holtz
I'm not a disciplinarian. I simply enforce other people's decisions.
Lou Holtz
I don't drink water, haven't drank water in 40 years.
Lou Holtz
To my wife 'I told you I was sick'.
