But, BK's not the story here. It's a celebration of Lou's wonderful life that will be front of center. Plenty tears but perhaps a few Lou stories that will make everyone smile. As for myself, I met Lou for a New York minute when he was our HC after one of the Spring games. Signed a football while he was walking and talking with a couple of his aides. Don't think he ever looked up. I still have that signed ball in my TV room. The late great Lou Holtz.
