Do Mark May and Lou Holtz ever agree on anything?

[LVBOUND]

Jeez, I dont think I have seen either of them ever agree on one game!

I think the ESPN producers tell them to disagree?

[jnickell100]

No its part of the show, they never agree with anything and you always know that Dr. Lou will pick ND no matter how bad they are.

[THE PROFIT]

Im waiting for Lou to call Mark a *igger & Mark knock that fukin lisp straight

[Poster X]

yes its scripted.

[MendozaLine]

Mark May is dipshit. Lou is a homer, but how do you not love that guy?

[THE PROFIT]

Lou thinks any place he has ever coached is unfukinbeatable

[daneault23]

Lou is 7-2 pickin games this year. Maybe we should be tailing him

[dodger33]

Mark May is dipshit. Lou is a homer, but how do you not love that guy?

Exactly! At least Lou knows what he is talking about. May has no clue.

[MendozaLine]

If Notre Dame was playing @ Alabama, Lou would put Bama on upset alert.

If South Carolina was playing @ Ohio State, Lou would put Ohio State on upset alert.

If South Florida was playing @ Texas, you guessed it. Lou would put Texas on upset alert

Part of the game not to agree

[dante1]

I think they really deep down don't like each other, I really do. This morning or yesterday can't remember for sure Lou was kissing Mark's ass and telling him how great he is. Maybe the producers said hey you guys are going too far. It is so easy to see the anger deep inside each of them.

And yeah, I think it is possible that Lou might call Mark a N...... one of these days. IMO, Mark is the much better announcer. I guess I should say commentator

[Domer]

Lou is half-senile, can't talk properly and he is still much wittier/funnier/more insightful than May. He almost always gets the better of the exchanges.

But yeah the show is scripted; they are supposed to disagree. Virtually all of ESPN shows are scripted, it just matters to what degree. They'll be given a list of topics to cover, etc. They will also be occasionally told NOT TO cover a story and/or spin it a certain way.

The only two ESPN shows I can stand are Around the Horn and Pardon the Interruption because those are legit sports journalists who have been in the business for a while and they're far more interesting than the ESPN robots. Even Marriotti is interesting in how stupid/pompous/out of touch he is.

[Fishhead]

Lou was a very crooked coach........and most believe he was some Saint.


VERY CROOKED

[stealthyburrito]

very bizarre sports analyst duo.

both sound like they don't have a clue, may moreso.

[thomas6512]

its terrible how they always fight. im shocked how espn doesnt do anything

[Domer]

I think Lou and Vinny Cerrato had sort of a 'you get me players, I'll look the other way' type of thing going.

To put it in perspective, Randy Moss just about came to ND under Lou. A player (student) like that wouldn't even sniff ND in 2010. The administration has a TOTALLY different outlook on athletic players.

[Big Dave's Picks]

I dont think you want them to agree on a game, last time they did they both picked Navy over Maryland. Navy lost. Just for thought guys, Big Dave

[zogdog]

Lou Holtz is basically the Skip Bayless of College Football. He makes no sense most of the time and he laughs about some of his own "opinions."

[gafl]

Wouldn't be much of a show if they agreed most of the time. This way fans of both teams are happy that one of them thinks their team will win.

[jquest]

I think that Holtz is a closet racist. He is really really old and probably remembers when his father used to beat the black boy for bringing the milk late.

[THE PROFIT]

If Notre Dame was playing @ Alabama, Lou would put Bama on upset alert.

If South Carolina was playing @ Ohio State, Lou would put Ohio State on upset alert.

If South Florida was playing @ Texas, you guessed it. Lou would put Texas on upset alert

I do believe William & Mary was the first place he coached. And if W&M was playing the fukin Patriots he would put the Pats on upset alert

[Hammew]

Im waiting for Lou to call Mark a *igger & Mark knock that fukin lisp straight
