Dick Vitale’s love for Notre Dame isn’t something the legendary college basketball commentator shies away from. He wears his love for the Fighting Irish and University on his sleeve, has had several family members attend Notre Dame, and spends a good amount of his free time soaking up football Saturday’s on campus.
Vitale recently announced he’s again battling cancer, the second time he’s done so in just months. The announcement came just a couple of weeks after Vitale was in South Bend for the Notre Dame-Cincinnati game.
On Friday, Notre Dame quarterback Jack Coan had a message for Vitale that made the man that usually has so much to say, practically speechless.

The message was short, sweet and very well-received by Vitale.
