Who the hell will Lou pick?

[KPENN]

Was talking to this guy at work today and he asked me sort of an interesting question. Who do you think Lou's gonna pick for his game picks ND or USF? I went with USF just cause it's his son and all that. What say you?

 

[Riddickulous]

Skip. He won't even have to think about that one.

At the ND Legends event:

"Upset? That's not an upset. Upset's what his mother would be if I picked against her son."

 

[crzychris]

He'll consider picking USF and then look down at his shiny ring and pick ND. Also, I bet he picks the Irish to motivate his son even more.

Interesting.. I still think Lou goes with ND.

He'll root with his heart but pick with his head.

What BGIF said.

He just may recuse himself because of the obvious conflict of interest.

(BTW Google's spell check is perhaps the worst thing they do. There's a big fat red line under 'recuse.' Interesting because their search engine came up with it almost as fast as the red line went under the properly spelled word.)

Honestly, I didn't think before picking. I thought it was a joke.

Then I remember ol' Skippy boy.

I still think he picks us. He'll explain himself on TV though I'm sure.

There's a video on UND where Holtz, Parseghian, and Kelly are on a panel hosted by Mark May and Rece Davis. Holtz makes a pretty funny joke about this game's prediction... actually, Holtz is hysterical the entire time.

He picks USF.

I could see him going either way.

My guess is that his history with ND will cancel out the fact that his son is coaching USF. What's left? The fact that ND will be strongly favored in this game.

Lou picks ND.

i think i remember hearing someone on espn say lou is going to pick ND to win the NC, but lose their first game.

 

[TerryTate]

Clink the link.

He'll use that joke on Gameday, guaranteed.

Man, that was great. Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen it yet.

Boy, Coach Kelly was all business. Ara and Lou were all laughs and messing around, Coach Kelly had his game face on.

without a doubt USF...we all know rational predictions don't matter to good old lou.

Nice. I like what you did there...

I seen it all, in my head: lisp and all!

I saw him with Mark May after ND's bowl win. I believe USF also just one their bowl game. Mark May asked Him who he would pick in this game since both teams were on the rise. Lou answered that he was going with the upset-His wife was going to be upset because he was picking ND to win over her son.
