Wow! One-hundred episodes on the nose! I'll be. Very happy, thrilled, honored, and all the above to share more about my book "Louis Salmon: All-American" today! After four years of writing and research, which started as an episode of this show, I can't wait for folks to learn more about Lou, who was Notre Dame football's first All-American back in 1903. I'll even read a short excerpt from the work. Thank you for five years, one-hundred episodes, and a whole book's worth of support. Means the world, truly.
