Lou is the Man - Notre Dame Football Discussion

goldandblue · 08-29-2008, 11:00 AM

I was watching College football live on Wed night and they got to talking about Notre Dame. Naturally with the Passion and Love Lou has for the Irish he got a little fired up. I absolutely love what he said though.

"you don't go to Notre Dame to win some of them, you don't go to Notre Dame to win most of them, you go to Notre Dame to win all of them". - Holtz

Holtz is calling for a 10 or 11 win season. While we all have been giving some of the other members here a hard time for being so pessimistic about the upcoming season, I don't see anyone on here posting that Lou is crazy!! Including me! One point to make though is that Lou has been consistent with his prediction of the season!

You gotta love LLLOOOOOOUUUUUU!

Go IRISH!!

Yeah, there was a sports writer on ESPN who said it best...

"Does Lou geniuninely believe the Irish will win 11 games? Yes, and that is why I give him credit, but I myself am not that optomistic and will say 8"

Lou Holtz was a great coach and is even a better man.

thats because he actually has a point. He thinks there will be much improvement and everything, He who wont be named is basing it off of optomism, nothing else.

But anyway.

Can I get an Amen for real college football start?

during that same broadcast Lou also talked briefly about getting a 4 team playoff together in January. He mentioned Pitt as an example when Mark May played. He said that this would have given the "Pittsburgh....Pirates" a chance to win a national championship. Mark May quickly corrected him and said "Panthers" May was at a loss for words. It was great!

that prediction is crazy, based on the product we saw last season. yes the schedule is lighter, but still, if you go off last season (which is all we have) then a 10 or 11 win season is crazy.

now, if anyone has earned the right to make crazy predictions, it's Lou Holtz. i still wish he wouldn't though. Lou is a HoF coach, whereas dingleberries like Lee Corso finished his coaching career with a losing record I believe. He deserves to wear a mascot's head permanently.

also, if you go back and review Holtz's press confs while he was a coach and had more experienced teams with a full roster of top players on scholarship, he would never had predicted 10 or 11 wins. Lou as the sportscaster is different from Lou as the head coach.

I liked last night Reece was introducing them and he was like The Hall Of famer Lou Holtz and Mark May and May was like where is my intro? And Lou said something to the effect of while I was winning championships you were playing line against Hofstra. I love Lou
