SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Charlie Weis doesn't usually let anyone else call plays on offense. He made an exception for 10-year-old Montana Mazurkiewicz.

The Notre Dame coach met last week with Montana, who had been told by doctors weeks earlier that there was nothing more they could do to stop the spread of his inoperable brain tumor.

A nice story to add to the lore of Notre Dame Football.

That is just precious - what a wonderful man & the team was wonderful to follow through with that play given the circumstances!!

Though he didn't get to see it here on Earth, I know he was up there watching, smiling.

God Bless Charlie Weis

I read this in the paper this morning and started blubbering like a ninny.

I guess now I can't in good conscience hate Notre Dame quite as much.

KR you'd have to have no heart not to be affected after reading the story.
