Thank GOD! The spitting, slobbering, and borderline insane "Dr. Lou" picks against LSU every chance he gets and is wrong 90% of the time! It is almost a good omen for him to pick against us at this point. As usual Mark May looked at Holtzssstthh as if he were out of his mind, which he damn near is, as soon as he announced WVU would upset LSU. :geauxtige
Good. I still blame Granny Holtz for us losing to Kentucky in '07. The Thursday night before the game, he gave us one of his "pep talks" about not being let down after the huge, emotional Florida win. Anyone remember his segments from '07? Every single team would come out and lose after he chose them for a pep talk!
"Dr. Lou" is a character and good for ESPN's ratings I suppose. That said, I can't stand him... :geauxtige
Granny must have blackmail picture of Chris Berman or something. Even factoring in how out-of-touch ESPN has really become with it's viewers, I can't wrap my head around why they keep that idiot around. He adds nothing...check that...less than nothing to the show. I've never heard of anyone who likes him.
I wonder if he realizes just how many people think he is a clown and a joke. Please retire!!! And Corso to!!!
Its the classic sports desk setup. You have the professional broadcaster, straight man with sports experience, and the irreverent clown. You see it in basketball and football analysis shows. I don't know about baseball. That sport is way too uptight.
Corso is, at least, entertaining. I like him. Now, that being said, Holtz was a far better football coach than Corso--obviously. But I do really wonder if the man isn't senile the past few years.
ESPN has hired another former coach and in the process, proceeded to try and find a football figure as ridiculous and silly as Dick Vitale. Putting a doddering old, lisping, drooling fool on camera is a calculated and cynical attempt to hold your attention. Putting Lou Holtz on air, is a disservice to Lou Holtz, although I'm sure he's happy with his station in life. It's also an act that lets us all know exactly what ESPN really thinks of its viewers.
