Good Call

Via Joshua Clayborn comes this. And I thank him for it.

Weis asked Montana if there was something he could do for him. He agreed to let Montana call the first play against Washington on Saturday. He called "pass right."

Montana never got to see the play. He died Friday at his home.

Weis heard about the death and called Mazurkiewicz on Friday night to assure her he would still call Montana's play.

"He said, 'This game is for Montana, and the play still stands,'" she said.

Just one more reason to cheer for the Irish this year. And just in case Coach Weis ever reads this, you are a good man, sir. Damn good.
