Lou Holtz just said on the ESPN pre-game, in reference to the Cam Newton story, that "Under the Tarnished Dome" came out in 1989 and we went on and won 11 straight. Okay, sir spit-a-lot, it was 1993 you asshole. Please, besides for not spitting on my living room floor, get your shit straight. I am Michigan fan and I knew when the book came out. What a douchebag!

He is the only one who picks ND every game to win. I want him out there casting that negative light on that school. Remember, he is considered there good ole days
Negitive
Beno Cook and Lou are on the same ND medication. ND gotta chance every year and every Irish QB is a Heisman winner.
Fuck it, Dude, let's go bowling.
Hey, another ESPN guy says something stupid
and gains more publicity for ESPN by people posting threads on message boards about it. They certainly know how to manipulate their audience.
Yeah I'm sure ESPN is rolling
Yeah I'm sure ESPN is rolling in all that "overblown outrage on sports forums" dough. You really think Disney's grand plan to increase ESPN's value (in the billions now) involves Lou Holtz misremembering book publishing dates so people will get upset?
It's called word-of-mouth advertising.
And getting viewers to advertise ESPN themselves without compensation is pretty good business. They make money by attracting more viewers. They gain viewers by getting people to talk about the stuff they heard on ESPN.
There is very little that comes out of anyone's mouth spontaneously. It's all very tightly scripted. They say what they say for very good reasons.
It's not all "tightly
It's not all "tightly scripted." I agree that the personalities are chosen for their general dispositions and fame (we know Lou Holtz will act like this) but how out of touch do you have to be to think that what these guys are saying is "tightly scripted"? They are speaking, more or less, spontaneously.

Honestly, I don't think
Honestly, I don't think that's as far fetched as you make it sound. Utah's a solid team, but I haven't seen enough out of them to immediately think they will roll ND. They've beat a bunch of lower level BCS-AQ teams, which isn't much different than Tulsa, who just barely beat ND. I really think Utah is VASTLY overrated. They came off a good year in '09 and rode that reputation and an opening week, "big win" over a then ranked Pittsburgh team to where they are today.
Do I really think Utah will lose? No.
Would I be surprised? No, not at all.
Completely agree on your
Completely agree on your opinion of Utah. Everyone thought the pitt game was huge at the time, but looking at everything know, pitt isn't the team people thought they would be. There was no reason they should have ever been top 5, let alone top 15.
But I still think ND without Crist gets rolled.
Pitt may not be the team
Pitt may not be the team everyone thought they would be but since they play in the worst Big 6 conference in America, they can still make a BCS bowl. Which is downright ridiculous if you ask me but who cares. I'm just some guy on a Michigan message board.

You just figured this out?
A Story and or Interview
Can happen over a period of time before a book is published, so maybe, the interview happened in 1989, possibly. I presume Tony Rice is noted in this book as well and he was no where near still playing in 1993 (McDougal, maybe). So maybe there was an excerpt or a leak that gain notice to Holtz and staff in during any point in time. Whether you like Lou or no, whether he wasnt precise with his words in a short span of time. I think what he was talking about could be further away from what your complaining about.
Then why are you watching him
Then why are you watching him on tv? I think Dr Phil is a tool, but I also don't watch his tv show. (Does he even have a tv show anymore?) In short, don't feed the tv trolls.

i also liked the espn Dr Lou segment when holtz is talking about integrity and how student athletes should make the right choices (ie. players shouldn't take money and cheat the system), when he left every school he coached under a cloud of probation or shadiness.
He has never coached under probation
So it was obviously the fault of the guys following him.

Lou Holtz is loyal to a fault, and he isn't fit to be an analyst for ESPN. He speaks with a lisp. That doesn't make the guy an idiot. I don't get all the hate for the guy, honestly. Ya, he coached for Notre Dame, and he is a homer. So what? He is a stellar example of what kind of person a coach should be, imo – something in much shorter supply these days.
"And they'll never catch him!"

Every program Holtz coached went on NCAA probation. (And yes, it was for more serious offenses than stretching too long.) Don't believe his "aw, shucks" act. The guy was a rogue coach.
Need to check the record...
Arkansas, Minnesota, ND, and South Carolina all had issues with the NCAA during his tenure. He has no credibility when discussing NCAA infractions.

I certainly was no fan of Holtz when he coached at Notre Dame, but it is hard to argue against the fact that he was a damn good coach. But the truth of the matter is that he has been embarrassing himself for years with his off the wall predicitions and generally goofy behavior. He has become the college football version of Howard Beale.

Under the Tarnished Dome?
What Holtz didn't say is that the book pretty much paralyzed him as a recruiter, and his program was never the same afterwards, nor was he ever able to get any subsequent program to the level he had previously attained. That book was the greatest aid to negative recruiting that was ever writter. All opposing coaches had to do was buy a copy of the book for parents of recruits and highlight the passages where Holtz allegedly would pretend injured players didn't exist.
According to the book, he wouldn't even say "hi" to an injured player or acknowledge his presence until he was able to get back on the field. Whether it was true or not, I think it's safe to say that it had a major role in his inability to pull in top five recruiting classes from then on.
