That man is senile. I think Mark May about had a seizure.
September 5th, 2009 at 1:38 PM ^
We need more people like him representing the nation. Worst commentary ever.
September 5th, 2009 at 1:39 PM ^
Hes got his head so far up Notre Dames ass its sick
September 5th, 2009 at 1:44 PM ^
Somebody please sedate Holtz.
September 5th, 2009 at 1:49 PM ^
I can't wait to see the Irish lose 6 times this year. I have always liked Holtz as a coach and a person but the man is so far up the front butt's ass-hole that this is just getting sick.
September 5th, 2009 at 2:02 PM ^
unlike other coaches (no names given).
September 5th, 2009 at 2:08 PM ^
At some point his total lack of credibility given his shameless Notre Dame bias has to concern ESPN, in that it's going to reflect poorly on the network.
Oh who am I kidding? It's ESPN.
September 5th, 2009 at 2:14 PM ^
It is ESPN, and they are letting him shamelessly promote ND, even though ND and NBC is a direct competitor of ABC/Disney/ESPN family in the 330 time slot.
I'm actually surprised ESPN hasn't stopped this for this reason.
In the zero sum game, good ND = good for NBC = bad for ESPN/ABC.
It just makes it more surprising that ESPN hasn't curtailed this not only is it uninformed homerism, it is hurting the network. Holtz's ratings must be awesome.

The only thing underrated about Weis is his weight.
September 5th, 2009 at 2:37 PM ^
Holtz had a Bucket List. One of the items was "be head coach at Notre Dame".... and he accomplished that and checked that one off...
The next item on his Bucket List must be "Hype ND to death every chance you get"...
he can check that one off too....

The next item on his Bucket List must be "Hype ND to death every chance you get"...It's the only item on his bucket list.
September 5th, 2009 at 3:18 PM ^
He and Mark May did both just come out heavily in support for Rodriguez.
September 5th, 2009 at 3:22 PM ^
..and Weis just "happened to mention" how hungry he gets when undergoing criticism.
September 5th, 2009 at 3:22 PM ^
Which worries me.
Seriously, he's not that bad when he's not being a homer. The problem is, he's a homer way too much.
(And why does ESPN keep playing loud music over their commentators? Is that some evil plot by Rogers [my cable company]?)
September 5th, 2009 at 3:24 PM ^
Lou does have a touch of a lisp, ya know
September 5th, 2009 at 4:38 PM ^
What he meant to say is that charlie weiss is the most overweight coach in america
September 5th, 2009 at 5:17 PM ^
Lou Holtz is not senile.
He is an alcoholic.
September 5th, 2009 at 7:16 PM ^
which makes him un-credible and unintelligible. That claim made any of Lee Corso's verbal diarrhea look like the prophetic musings of a grid iron god. Both are idiots but holtz struck a new low.
September 5th, 2009 at 7:22 PM ^
One issue about Holtz that is not covered enough is the sweet dye job he has. I can't think of another old man with such natural blonde hair.
September 5th, 2009 at 8:31 PM ^
I'm glad someone posted about this. I just couldn't believe it. You just can't do that as a sports journalist--wear your school colors on your sleeve like that. Last week his prediction for the year was something like ND will beat Michigan and go 11-0.
