>> Eric: AND YOU CONTINUE TO SERVE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> THANKS, COMMISSIONER.

CONGRATULATIONS.

WELL, YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD HALL OF FAME COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACH LOU HOLTZ DIED THURSDAY AT THE AGE OF 89.

FAMOUSLY LED NOTRE DAME TO 100 WINS IN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

BEFORE THAT HE COACHED THE U OF M GOPHERS AND HELPED REBUILD THE TEAM IN JUST A COUNTY SEASONS.

IN APRIL OF 1985, A KTCA CAMERA CREW FOLLOWED HOLTZ AND THE GOPHERS FOR A WHOLE MONTH.

HERE'S A CLIP FROM THAT DOCUMENTARY.

HERE'S THE COACH.

>> HINK BACK OVER ALL THE YEARS YOU'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN FOOTBALL, ALL THE WAY BACK TO WHEN YOU WERE A KID, WHAT IS THE SINGLE MOMENT IN FOOTBALL THAT GIVES YOU THE BEST FEELING YOU'VE EVER HAD?

>> YOU KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY IT MIGHT BE DIFFICULT TO DO BUT I CAN TELL OU WHAT GAVE WORST FEEL.

THE WORST FEELING WAS I WAS IN THE FIFTH GRADE AND PLAYING WITH THE EIGHTH GRADE FOOTBALL TEAM AND WE WERE PLAYING A GAME AND I TURNED DOWN A TACKLE COMPLETELY IN FRONT OF SOME FRIENDS AND FAMILY, AND I MEAN, I JUST OUT AND OUT TURNED INTO A COWARD.

AND I'LL NEVER FORGET THE HUMILIATION, EMBARRASSMENT AND THE RIDICULE THAT I EXPERIENCED FOR THE NEXT WEEK AFTER THAT FROM MY TEAMMATES, SO TO SPEAK.

BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME I HAD A CHANCE TO BE A FOOTBALL PLAYER AND I TURNED IT DOWN.

BUT IT MADE A VERY STRONG IMPACT UPON ME.

BECAUSE I THINK THAT SOMETIMES IN LIFE WE'VE GOT TO DO THINGS THAT WE DON'T GENUINELY LIKE TO DO.

BUT IF WE BENEFIT FROM A BAD EXPERIENCE AND ANALYZE IT, IT CAN TURN OUT TO BE THE MOST POSITIVE THI
