In the early morning moments before @CollegeGameDay, LC and I have a tradition.
We tell stories, we share laughs and we connect. It’s been such a special part of GameDay that I have loved sharing with you all and will miss so much.
Al Golden on whether he has to amp his Irish players up to play USC:
“Nope. There’s nothing that needs to be said. If you’re watching Godfather 2 & Hyman Roth is talking to Michael Corleone, you know what’s on in the background—it’s Notre Dame & USC. That’s all we got to say.”
I’m sorry I couldn’t properly lead to this beautiful tribute the @CollegeGameDay put together. Really wanted to thank all of you for the avalanche of love and support you’ve shown Ben. It gives me and my family such comfort knowing how he impacted so many peoples lives around the country. He was a beautiful and loving soul.
This is really hard to write but so many of you have loved and cared about Ben that I wanted to let you know. We found out today the cancer had spread throughout Bens organs and there was nothing left we could do-we had to let him go. I’ve had dogs my whole life but Ben was 1 on 1. He was smart-loving-gentle-patient-inquisitive-and welcoming to all. Always a big smile and a soft tail wag. He and I could communicate..he and I understood each other and had each others backs. He was with me more than anyone at home and traveling with me for work. Such an easy going companion. Hard day-but he will live within all of us forever. God please bless his majestic soul and thank you for putting him in my life for the last 10 years-a true blessing.
Love you Ben. 🙏🏼
