Dr. Lou Got Me Thinking

So let me start off by saying I just read John Feinstein’s article about the Nave-Notre Dame game. I did not realize that the Mids mopped the field with the Golden Domers, with a final score at 38-17. And the way Navy, and well also Army and Air Force, play is the way college football is supposed to be play.

But let me get to the thing that really got me thinking. The Lou Holtz comment.

Lou may have a worse lisp than Sylvester the Cat but he knows his football. He is the only coach to EVER lead 5 teams to bowl games. He is the only reason Notre Dame returned to the promise land long after Knute Rockne retired. And he is the only reason they continually bring in big time names, to this day.

And okay, he’s biased. Yes, I completely understand that and he may be to a fault on how biased he actually is. But you know who he’s rooting for every Saturday when the teams take the field in South Bend. And that I can appreciate.

Unlike Joel Klatt…. He is a bad announcer, he does color for FSN and takes over the broadcast with his not so insightful insight and anti-comical timing. But the thing that really rubs me the wrong way is that he’s unbiased or even against CU most of the time. Come on guy, the only reason you are doing this broadcast is because you are a CU alum. You were a Buffalo. Some us still remember you leading us to a Big XII title and then Fiesta Bowl lambasting at the hands of Joey Harrington. Joey Harrington of all people, but we forgave you. The execs at FSN would not, in their right mind, put you on any game that doesn’t involve CU. You’re just too bad. So root for CU just a little, come one Joel.

Did I mention I like the Dr. Lou part of College Football Tonight on ESPN and when Holtz gives speeches like they were his team. He is one of greatest college football coaches of all time... that should get some comments.
