Im also a fan of Holtz. ESPN isn't stupid, him and Mark May together are a good team. I like Holtz but hate May. May to me is one of the most annoying people on tv. But together they are good because they are always going against one another.
Granted he is not my favorite in the booth, his biography is one of the best books I have ever read. It goes into great detail about the "business side" being a college head coach and more importantly it goes into detail about the values and morals he always tried to convey to his players which careover into life after football. A really great book about the game. Give it this year as a stocking stuffer to a co worker or a friend. You will get some brownie points for it.
I was flipping thru the tele one night and saw Lou on fucking Fox News no joke! I was like WTF is this guy doing on Fox but wasnt too surprised. I want to bash his head open every time he talks about ND. Give it a rest Lou, ND hasnt been relevent in CFB my entire lifetime! (19yr old here)
Lou knows what he's talking about...if people would listen...everyone wants to listen to the new , young, hip announcers, and dont realize the veterans actually know what their talking about, cuz they've been there...
