We’re on the bus headed back to the airport in Japan. I’m drafting up this blog on my iPhone and i’ll post it when we land in Chicago. Brooke’s taken a nap next to me and I’m trying to keep myself awake so I can sleep THE WHOLE WAY HOME!!

A few reflections on the trip:
-This has been a great experience for Brooke and I to have together.
-Being coached by Lou Holtz is one of my greater highlights in all of my football carrier. It definitely ranks in the top moments!
-it was great to play with some of the older Notte Dame guys
-Hanging out with Tim and Sherice Brown was awesome! So down to earth with great wisdom.
-I wish Japan would have ran towards my side more. Only two run plays to my side the whole game and they sprinted out away from me EVERY TIME!
-Playing D-End was fun at times but I am DEFINITELY a linebacker. I need to have more freedom to roam around on the inside and outside.
-I didn’t get to do as much sightseeing as I would have liked because Lou had us on a pretty tight schedule but I’m happy Brooke and the girls (the other wives & girlfriends) got to do a lot.
-it’s great that even though I haven’t talked to some of my old teammates much since we played at ND. We can pick right back up where we left off. Notre Dame is a special place.
-I was more tired later in the week so I didn’t blog more.
