May God bless Lou Holtz and his family.

Liked his sense of humor, remember him on late night tv talking about one of his players that could do anything with a football except autograph it.

I always respected him for suspending several star offensive players before a bowl game - back when bowl games meant something - when he was at Arky. He inspired his defense to step up (and they did) and they crushed their opponent.

I bet SOS shows up for him. An original.

That was impressive back then. Showed what a man of character he was.......

Granted, this is just a hunch, but I’d pack sunblock and some water.

You've spent the last 15 years telling us what a "man of character" Bobby Bowden was, too.

Lou Holtz cheated every year he coached college football, then shoved Notre Dame football down our collective throats every year he was an analyst. Brad said it best; I hope the Hospice nurse brings an umbrella with her.

Met him once at Ft. Jackson in South Carolina in the mid 90s. Nice enough guy, autographed one of my business cards. As for the other stuff " u ain't cheating u ain't trying".

My theory bout young guys (30ish to early 50s is its about fear. They know (if they survive) this is their destiny. Mocking them is how they pretend they will never BE like that......The good news is......nope, no good news. You're gonna struggle, pisss and moan and when you start going to docs more often you will think "Gdmm, look at all these poor old bastrdds in here with their wives treating them like children" or be a tough mofo and go alone like me.....
but TBH. I had all three of them help me through that REALLY tough part in the beginning....never all three at once but two a few times....
