And the halftime pep talks, but they made him do that I'm sure.


Wow, those were the worst. It was like being at a Gallagher show, that was suppose to be serious.

Didn't he predict that they would beat USC. I'm pretty sure he picked ND to win every game.



He did provide some good comic relief FWIW

The way the dude talks, there is a ton of sh!t in his mouth. More should come out, IMHO.

I can't imagine any LSU fan liking Lou Holtz. He was after all one of the three coaches who voted USC #1 in the coaches poll in 2003 despite his contractual obligations under the BCS system to the contrary.

"The end result is there is no vote for No. 1," said Grant Teaff, who runs the coaches association. "The winner of the (LSU-Oklahoma) game will be in the top spot in our poll. It's preordained."

Maybe Holtz didn't get the memo...

Or...

As USA TODAY Deputy Managing Editor/Sports Jim Welch said, the coaches' poll's automatic nature "understandably prompts questions about the validity of the final poll." "Obviously, it needs to reflect the individual coaches' opinions to be meaningful," Welch said.

Maybe he actually wanted his vote to mean something.

one side of me thinks he's entertaining.

the other side of me thinks he's a idiot that fans and recruits will listen to and sway some kind of national thought.

hey, stranger things have happened.

It's been one of my prayers to the Gods during the entire off season that he would go away never to be seen again on TV. I hope my prayers are answered.

The entire ESPN network is a gimmick. It's not a real sports network, it's entertainment.

Why would they give a senile, biased, completely absurd geezer with a speech impedemant a media job on national television? Other than comedic value, he gives me nothing. I avoid espn as much as possible.

Eh, I guess that's why I find it entertaining.



Still not sure why so many LSU fans dislike ESPN. It's not perfect, but I find it to be pretty entertaining and for the most part, knowledgeable.
