I took a Russian class at Notre Dame. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would fly someday in a Russian spacecraft with two cosmonauts, speaking only Russian.

I'm going to be the next head coach at Notre Dame.

I truly believe the things Notre Dame stands for.

Just imagine! In the early nineteenth century, this cathedral was in such a state of disrepair that the city considered tearing it down. Luckily for us, Victor Hugo heard about the plans to destroy it and wrote The Hunchback of Notre-Dame to raise awareness of its glorious history. And, by golly, did it work! Parisians campaigned to save it, and the building was repaired and polished to the pristine state you find today.

You don't go to Notre Dame to learn something; you go to Notre Dame to be somebody.

When you see him on TV like when he was at Notre Dame, you think of him being a real straight-forward dude, real black and white, not too much flavor. But when you get to know him, see him around here on a day-to-day basis, he's real fun to be around.
