Urban Meyer – always on his knees to Lou Holtz, his mentor.

ESPN should start selling “Lou Holtz means “Hard Wood” bumper stickers.

I think “Nick Saban doesn’t have time for this shit” has just been replaced.

I will be saddened today, upon perusing the list of fresh Nobel honorees, to find you going unrecognized for the word “teleprechaummentator”.

Out Of Conference – You are most welcome for the anecdote. I’ve always thought it to be one of Holtz’ better lines, particularly given the circumstances.

Unfortunately, for me, that Buckeye National Championship was the prelude to my making the single dumbest wager in the history of sports…and having to suffer the consequences in about as ugly a fashion as could be, short of actual human death/dismemberment being involved.

It did cure me, at a very early age, of being a degenerate gambler. Now, I’m just……..an aimless degenerate.

I got to tell you that I’m starting to really like crazy old man Holtz. And even Lee Corso and his mascot head schtick. Now Herbstreit, I wouldn’t mind him being banished to the Big Ten Network.

I’m 99.9 percent sure Lou just flashed the shocker on national TV when giving the LSU pep talk. That’s just what Kentucky needs – chainsaw dick and small, point, scar covered fingers up the ass.

Stagecoach67 – Thanks for sharing that. That’s funny as hell and is very typical of many of his witty remarks while at USCe. When commenting on sell out crowds during the 1 win over 2 year stretch when he first came to SC, Lou said something along the lines of South Carolina fans are great, “we’ve got the most fans per win in the history of the sport!”

Here’s another “Holtizm”, sort of, for those of you too young to have remembered even the Dynasty comment.

Setting: Jan.1, 1969 Rose Bowl. Undefeated USC (O.J. Simpson’s Heisman year) vs undefeated OSU (super soph’s Jack Tatum, John Brockington, Rex Kern, et al) winner gets the Nat’l. Championship.

Early in the game, O.J. runs 80 yards (actually covering about 115 with about 7 jukes) for a TD.

Buckeye Head Coach Woody Hayes (not known for temper control) goes ballistic and finds his Defensive Coordinator, Lou Holtz, on the sideline and gets right in Lou’s face.

Woody: “Why did he go 80 yards? Why did he go 80 yards?? WHY DID HE GO 80 YARDS???”

Holtz: “Coach, that’s all he needed”

Hard wood, eh? I bet Lou wouldn’t be so thrilled to learn the definition of aHoltzbag. Or maybe he wood, dunno

Lou Holth is an absolute treasure and should be given the run of the place. We only caught the end of the game last night but tuned in just in time for the priceless Eva/Terry exchange.

Lou’s “hard wood” is actually Rigor Mortis.
