Give Lou Holtz some credit

**ehp6737** · 09-04-10, 11:14 PM

Him and Beano Cook should fight a cage match.

**flyingillini** · 09-04-10, 11:15 PM

He is not that old, he is very sharp and knows what he is talking about. I am sure he is in better health than many guys in their 20s. God Bless you John!

Holtz is a class act , when here at carolina he started a non profit foundation that he still visits and supports...

**Jasonal_98** · 09-04-10, 11:16 PM

I have to admit that I love the Dr. Lou segments on Thursday night.

**big joe 1212** · 09-04-10, 11:16 PM

Lou is a pretty funny guy!

He talks like Sylvester the cat from looney toons.

**big joe 1212** · 09-04-10, 11:22 PM

guy still loves N.D. and picks them every week!

**Brock Landers** · 09-04-10, 11:23 PM

he is nearly incomprehensible with that lisp

**mtneer1212** · 09-04-10, 11:25 PM

Excellent motivator............ and Beano is awesome too!

LOL well on College Sat he is on the set in suit and tie under the lights 12 hours. Sometimes he slurs something that doesn't make sense but usually he calls it straight. He lit up Les Miles good for his conservative 2nd half which was spot on. Yea I like him except he slurs like he had like 7 dbl Jack & cokes.

**big joe 1212** · 09-04-10, 11:32 PM

they must have to clean the screen in front of him at every commercial break from his spits!

**minet123** · 09-04-10, 11:34 PM

He played for a tie against Michigan...

Plus in that era you, me and Fishy could have recruted and coached a national Championship contender at Notre Dame

**Wrigley** · 09-04-10, 11:35 PM

I actually think his son skip is a pretty good coach

Incoherent is the word you were looking for.

**IrishTim** · 09-05-10, 01:32 AM

One of the best speakers in the country and his son can sure coach.

**OmgUrMom** · 09-05-10, 01:46 AM

his homerism is really annoying

**jjgold** · 09-05-10, 07:47 AM

Most of these guys at least know the game, they have no clue who covers but you can pick up Tips from them.

**MartinBlank** · 09-05-10, 07:51 AM

John.....ummm, have you watched college football at any time the last 30 years?

Holtz has been speaking like that since then.

Same could be said of myself here at SBR......

**PittsburghPlayer** · 09-05-10, 08:06 AM

I can`t stand him as a commentator, once again I am in the minority. Has worked well for me so far! Good day.

**thezbar** · 09-05-10, 08:12 AM

I admire the fact he is hanging in there at his age. I'm not a fan yet sometimes he provides some useful information.

**Iceman** · 09-05-10, 09:15 AM

Also a hell of an author. His books are great for those who like the motivational type books.

**Irish Lumberjack** · 09-05-10, 09:20 AM

The guy is sharp as a tack. His mind is still as good as ever.

**Z_Wipf** · 09-05-10, 09:26 AM

THE MAN PICKED NOTRE DAME TO WIN IT ALL LAST YEAR!

What the hell are you guys talking about saying he's still sharp? It's embarrassing to watch anymore

**Ranx777** · 09-05-10, 09:57 AM

Lou knows ten times the amount about football that Mark May does.

**Z_Wipf** · 09-05-10, 10:06 AM

Ill give you that. They are just a terrible team

Yea, I remember.. But as the ex coach I reckon we can give him a pass.

Unfortunately my memories of Lou when he was at Arkansas were not fond, beiing a diehard Longhorn. We handed Lou a National Championship one year losing to I believe Montana's Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl. A painful memory. He had his own TV show just like Ara Parsiegan.
