VOD: Lou Holtz does magic, preaches hard work in Texas visit
With the Longhorns in the thick of spring practice, head coach Charlie Strong had special guest Lou Holtz speak to his team on Wednesday.
Holtz, the longtime college coach who led Notre Dame to the 1988 national title, preached hard work, sacrifice, teamwork and everything it takes to win a championship.
He also did a little bit of magic with a newspaper. You’ll see what I mean.
The 78-year-old Holtz, who has worked as a ESPN analyst since his coaching career ended, left the Longhorns with this final thought:
“If you want to be happy for an hour, eat a steak. If you want to be happy for a day, play golf. If you want to be happy for a week, go on a cruise. If you want to be happy for a month, buy a new car. If you want to be happy for a year, win the lottery. If you want to be happy for a lifetime, win a championship.”
That ought to give the Longhorns a boost heading into their spring game on April 18.
