On Saturday, tragedy struck the Notre Dame football program, and the University as a whole, as former star Louis Nix passed away. A truly larger-than-life person on and off the field, Nix touched everyone he came in contact with, and is someone who will truly be missed by all of those who knew him, and now, those who did not.
