Love me some Lou but this guy is done when it comes to knowing anything about current college football.

I can't remember which season it was, but we would've finished like 6-6 if Lou had correctly predicted our games.

I do miss College Football Final with him, Rece and Mark May though. It was like a sketch comedy show most weekends.

Nishe to see ol Lou ish all energetic even in hish 80sh. Sure I may not alwaysh agree with hish picksh, but it'sh good to shee he'sh shtill kickin.

ETA: after a little bit of research I found that Lou Holtz and Mark May still work together for a site called the crowd's line, which is about betting and analytics. I also learned that Mark May is 60. Pretty crazy what happened with the ESPN layoffs, I remember their bad takes on College Football Final being a staple of Sunday mornings in the BCS era.

Mark May was good and he would give a good honest call on what he thought of each team

Lou is a drunkard way past his prime. Lou is number one on my coaching shite list. (Briles is in a reserved category all his own.)

Perhaps he’s best known for his time with Lou Holtz on College Football Final, where he was pulled off the show in 2015. While everyone loves to hate on May, we can all agree he couldn’t stand Lou Holtz’s love affair with Notre Dame.

I am trying to think of the last time I thought enough about the opinion of Lou Holtz to purposely watch a video of him giving said opinion....yeah, I've got nothing.

Lou Holtz is a very good coach and a better human being.
He just never got over the death of LSU's Bo Rein who was his friend and with whom he had coached.

Look up the ESPN film.. The Bo You Don't Know.

I miss how Lou used to start every answer with “Well the University of Notre Dame..”

“Lou, what do you think about Tim Tebow?”
“Well, at the University of Notre Dame...”

Remember that terrible arse segment where he would give those flaccid Rally speeches to teams he thought could have an upset?

Most awkward shite ESPN has ever done.

As much of a nut as he is, he's right.

Not about Alabama winning, but about LSU's path to success. If Burrow has time to toss it around in a clean pocket, Bama's DBs will eventually slip up and LSU will score a lot of points. If Bama is able to consistently get pressure, it's going to be a lot tougher.

He's wrong about Bama being able to get a lot of pressure. I'm not sure he still follows college football much anymore, as evidenced by calling the Heisman front runner the wrong name.
