Congratulations Lou Holtz!

One of the most inspirational men in the history of college football was honored today. Lou Holtz was elected into the college football hall of fame. His numbers alone qualify him for this prolific award. As a coach Lou Holtz is 249-132-7 all time, which ranks him 8th all time in victories. He is also 12-8-2 in bowl games. But Lou Holtz will long be remembered for more than just his win loss record.

Lou Holtz has been guiding young men and changing lives for over 40 years. He has written five books, all of which deal with success off and on the field. I listened to him speak at a seminar and I was inspired ten times over. Lou Holtz dedicated his life to making young men better. He has reached countless numbers of young people through speeches and books.

I was overjoyed with the news today of Lou Holtz's induction. I think he is the greatest speaker I have ever heard and not too shabby of football coach either. He is truly deserving of this honor and I am sure the men he mentored are truly grateful. Live like no one is watching and "that's the way it is."
