Why do they let Lou Holtz on t.v.

I'm really gonna mith making fun of that guy after tonight..

This post has got be all fired up now. It's what I needed.

Also, you're posting in a message board about Lou Holtz. ESPN has won.

You'll be better off when you stop watching ESPN, except for the live games

because people like you watch him and then run to post, comment or discuss him. Seriously, what were you expecting?

Caushh he ish a name.

I don't know. He makes beating ND that much more fun. I can't really complain.

Lou Holtz has you posting about Lou Holtz.  He wins.

I can't wait to hear the excuses that Holtz makes for the irish. Is it 7:30 yet?

I hate listening to Lou Holtz. He's the absolute worst and I seriously can't wait for him to retire.

to be fair, we've all said the same about State. 

Honestly I don;t get the hate--OF COURSE Holtz or any ex-coach is gonna be a homer for their school--why wouldn't they? And this isn't meet the Press, it's football--who cares if commentators are openly biased?

Notre Dame is academically a great school to get in to, and it's usually ranked higher than Michigan. However "student's go to X school when they can't get into the school that i represent" is used quite often as a general diss, usually by people who never took a single course in either school.

I went to Michigan because we got a flat when I was on my way to check out ND.Took it as an omen. To this day I've yet to step foot on ND's campus. Best flat ever.

 

Edited because my English/grammar is awful.

This is terrible, and we should all expect every top notch student to choose ND over Michigan because a senile man with a lisp on TV tells then it is a better school...
ND is a fine school. Michigan is a fine school. Lou is on TV so he can throw semi-coherent jabs at Mark May (who himself probably would suffer next to a sharper tongue) and because none of the other on air talent has little enough self respect for segments like Dr. Lou.

I guess Holtz's logic is something like this: ND's entrance standards for student athletes is so high, they need to cheat to pass their classes.

was too expensive.

Because you touch yourself at night.

ESPN knows no one in the right mind would listen to a senile old man so out of pity they give him a job. Either that or ESPN is owned by NBC, which clearly isn't biased as we will all hear tonight

Holtz is a character.  I like characters, even if they pull for the other team.  Too many bland announcers/commentators, and bland+biased (which is pretty common) is the pits.

Holtz is an entertainer, and is very entertaining.  It is those who don't get the open joke about his ND bias (which I think he would acknowledge) that lose out.

on TV is like asking why they have WWF, or Toddlers in Tiaras, or Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Madison Ave. calls it "hate-watching," and--admit it--we often keep watching when he appears on the screen because we know we're going to enjoy despising him. 

Mark May is awesome. He never says anything bad about us and trashes ND and Ohio.

Dumb old shit who makes all goobers look brilliant.

they're juth too good!  

 

I used to laugh when ESPN had that segment where Lou gave the pep talk to a certain team for the week...were they supposed to be fired up because of what he said?  Because he was spitting was on them?  Because of the comedy of listening to him?  Tell me which it was ESPN!!!

He's become shockingly wooden over the last couple years. It's an even creepier Holtz than one could had imagined.

Here's the segment where he flips over the podium (very end).

This is the same network that employs Skip Bayless, Steven A. Smith and Paul Finebaum. Having anything useful to say is not on their list of hiring requirements.
