Rave: Lou Holtz

[GatewaySnayke]

Look, I don't care much for the guy as an analyst. His bias against Mizzou is ridiculous and apparently when he was coaching at Notre Dame, he called a timeout to hang another touchdown on Navy.

But this guy's Thursday pep talks rock my world. Tonight he tore a newspaper in half (pretending to be coaching Pittsburgh) and said something about respect. A few weeks ago he was doing it as coach of Notre Dame and me, an ardent Irish hater, almost wanted to root for them.

His motivational speaking skills are fantastic.

I've met him more than once.

I've long ago stopped watching Thursday night football because I felt his pep talks were some of the stupidest things I've ever heard. He must have improved them a bit, but I don't know how as I whenever I see him talk otherwise he's still borderline retarded.

His Notre Dame bias is laughable as a paid analyst.

No I was putting a IFB in his ear and making sure the camera had been focused/white balanced most of the times I met him.
Other times I was hanging out with a camera man in the live truck at the stadium.

Did he ever give you a pep talk?

Did he ever give you a pep talk?

No but he gave after game interviews I was subjected to each week. He is very good with words and motivation. He is also a geniunely nice guy. But as frail as he looks on tv, he looks much smaller in person.

Spurrier was a drastic change.

I was hoping he'd give his pep talk to either LSU or Oklahoma.
