Lou Holtz on ESPN

[85inside]

Its almost midnight and Lou Holtz is still awake on ESPN. That is incredible. I love Sweet Lou on ESPN, and i love him more, now i know he can hang with the night owls.

I know the guy is a great person, but I have to turn the channel when he comes on. The speech impediment kills me. I am not making fun of everyone who has one, but most are not on national TV either. Plus, I get tired of the Notre Dame bull. He and Mark May are a match made in----well something.

I have to agree.

I can handle Lou easier than I can Mark; it amazes me how May keeps a job.

I have heard good things about him too....

But.... He found probation everywhere he went.

Also, a friend of mine (two actually) works at ESPN and he deals with the crew's equipment. He said Lou acts like a total jerk and mistreats people who are "under" him. He also said that Mark May is a very friendly guy. They joke about his OSU bashing all the time, and May gets a kick out of what I tell my friend to say.

Side note, he said Bobby Knight is great to work with and everyone loves him. He treats the younger employees well.

Mark May simply does and says what the network wants him to say. I would say May is probably a nice guy, he is just told to play the "heel" to Holtz' "babyface".

I have spoken in person with Lou Holtz. I had a chance to speak with Holtz and May at Marshall University while they were doing a pre-pre-game segment on the field (UCF at Marshall 2006).

The folks at ESPN were all nice to me. They made sure I got every photo I wanted too.

Holtz even asked me if I knew how to get to the Marshall locker area. I cracked a nice joke about him being a legendary coach asking me, a photographer, about locker room directions.

Ryan Walker also spoke with Lou that night. Ryan has a nice photo that I shot of him talking with Lou to prove it.

Anyone see Lou's pep talk to OSU on the special that they had on ESPN? He's still got it in him IMO, but he's just way too old... This game on Saturday is going to be AWESOME, and Lou helped it out a lot.

I love watching Lou on ESPN my favorite part is when he goes off on Mark May.

Saturday someone had to get Lou a box of Tissues .
