I have so much respect for this man, and what a great human being. I guess I am to soft but I really felt for the young boy and hopefully his last day was a great one.
RIP Montana
(WSBT) When you're named after a Notre Dame football great, you really have no choice but to root for the Irish.
That was the case for one young fan who got the chance to meet Coach Weis before the team left for Seattle.
10-year-old Montana Mazurkiewicz died of brain cancer Friday.
This week, before he died, Coach Weis made him an honorary offensive coordinator.
It wasn't a touchdown, or even for big yardage. But one play meant the world for the family of Montana Mazurkiewicz. Coach Weis visited Montana the day before he died and made the offer of a lifetime to a big Notre Dame fan.
" How about calling the first play," Montana's mother, Cathy recalled Weis telling her son. "Montana thought about it and he said pass to the right. So that's what it was."
Cathy Mazurkiewicz is grateful that Montana's last smiles came from a university he loved so much. She says Montana's ordeal taught her life can be cruel.
"But you also learned to, as the coach said, live for today, because tomorrow's just another day."
