Open Letter to Nate Montana

Nate, you obviously have a window of opportunity that many Quarterback Wanabees can only dream about and never realize.

Fate has cast you into the number two slot behind the heir apparent starting quarterback Dayne Crist for ‘The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame’.

Notice how the School name is written out. Surely something never to be ever taken lightly.

Dayne has been wearing a ‘red-do-not-hit-me-jersey’ all spring and will not play come the Blue-Gold Game on April 24th.  However, you will Nate. Seize the Day!

Notre Dame, Charlie Weis, and your dad set up the improbable turn of events that now has cast you on the stage. Seize the Day!

From a preferred walk-on, to back-up, to possible starting quarterback. Can you succeed? Do you have the ambition, the Will, the needed gray matter between the ears and the physical ability to perform?

Is it only the name or something You really want to excel in?

The ‘Golden Boy’ title as heir to the quarterback position for The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame is up for grabs. Surely, you can feel it and taste it.

You are competing against three unproven freshman for back-up honors.  Can you be successful?

Remember the number two guy is only a hit or a poor outing away from running in to take over the Notre Dame offense. 

Work extremely hard this summer. Get and learn from the best professional instruction money can buy. Seize the Day!

Good Luck.

Go Irish. Go Nate.
