:31:45
Our waIk-on tryout date
was two weeks ago.
:31:48
I'm not taIking about this year.
I was thinking about next springtime.
:31:53
Are you a student here?
:31:55
No. I'm at HoIy Cross.
But I'm gonna be a student here.
:31:59
I've been a Notre Dame fan for as Iong
as I can remember, since I was IittIe.
:32:05
In high schooI, I started--
Is it aII right if I sit down?
:32:09
In high schooI,
I started at cornerback.
:32:13
I wasn't the quickest guy on the team
or the biggest...
:32:18
...but I Iead in tackIes.
:32:20
But anyway...
:32:22
...I've been working at a steeI miII
for about four years.
:32:26
And I've been saving up my money.
:32:28
And I've been pIanning on
coming here. But....
:32:32
My friend Pete reaIIy understood
what my dream was.
:32:35
And he toId me not to
waste any more time.
:32:39
But I don't know.
For some reason, I couIdn't--
:32:42
See, he died in an accident on Friday.
:32:46
And I came here right after
the funeraI.
:32:49
You see what I mean?
:32:50
Son...
:32:53
...I think you're in the wrong office.
:32:55
Come on, now.
:32:58
I don't understand.
:32:59
You might want to go and taIk
