About the Joe Moore Award
The Joe Moore Award is named after Joe Moore, widely regarded as one of the best offensive line coaches in college football history, most notably for his work at Notre Dame and the University of Pittsburgh. Coach Moore sent 52 players on to the NFL, including Bill Fralic, Mark May, Russ Grimm, Jimbo Covert, Andy Heck and others. The Joe Moore Award trophy, crafted by legendary sports sculptor Jerry McKenna, is the largest trophy in college football, standing at a height of seven feet and weighing in at more than 800 pounds. The perpetual trophy is made available for display by the winning university until the conclusion of the following college football season.

A lot of what we do at LP reminds me of the role of the āhogsā up front on a football team. They do the hard, dirty workāprotecting the quarterback, clearing the path for the running backāand they rarely get the spotlight. But they donāt do it for the credit. They do it for the team. They do it to win.
Thatās LP. We clear the way for our customersā success. We get things where they need to goāon time, intact, and without excuses. Thatās been our style from Day 1.
Whenever I speak to students, I always open by telling them Iām a proud graduate of the Thomas School of Business. They nod politely. Then I tell them, āYou donāt know what the Thomas School of Business is! Itās Thurman Thomasāgetting down low behind the big guys, finding the hole, and then HITTING it.”
Thatās the LP way.
So what a perfect coincidenceāand a true honorāfor us to now be a key part of this very fitting award.
Onward! -JB

President Trump Announces 25% Tariff on India Starting August 1st, 2025
On Wednesday, July 30th, President Trump announced that the United States will impose a 25% tariff on goods imported from India starting on August 1st, 2025. Additionally, Trump also said that India will face an additional “penalty” for its ongoing trade with Russia.
U.S. and Indian trade negotiators have held multiple rounds of discussions to resolve contentious issues, particularly over market access for American agricultural and dairy products. Despite progress in some areas, Indian officials resisted opening the domestic market to imports of wheat, corn, rice, and genetically modified soybeans, citing risks to the livelihood of millions of Indian farmers. The new tariffs are expected to impact Indiaās goods exports to the U.S., estimated at around $87 billion in 2024, including labour-intensive products such as garments, pharmaceuticals, gems and jewelry, and petrochemicals.
