The Wizard of Odds found this 5/5/2008 on www.thestate.com [flag]

Yes, yes, yes, Lou Holtz saw his South Carolina teams struggle — and sometimes drift aimlessly out of control — in the final two seasons before his retirement from coaching.

He was a fifth-round pick of the Chiefs ...

In our time covering Notre Dame, few names are more divisive than Rudy Ruettiger. Rudy, of course, is the walk-on who made all Notre Dame walk-ons famous after the 1993 film starring Sean Astin as the diminutive football player.
