Think about a time in your life when the lessons learned from a setback ultimately made you better as a person, a professional, a spouse or parent. Think about the pain of failure and the pleasure you now take in the personal growth that resulted.

Fortunately this is the position our football coaching staff and players find themselves in this week as they prepare for the Homecoming game vs. Washington State at 4:00 at the Rose Bowl this Saturday. The performance at Notre Dame is something to build on and, unless I miss my guess, something that will make our team and coaches stronger in the weeks to come.

Thank you again for your support and we look forward to hearing from all of you soon.
