Did Lou Holtz Just Say That Notre Dame Will Play For The BCS Title?
Yes. Yes, he did. He doesn't think they are the second-best team in the country, but they have the "best chance" to run the table and face Florida for all the marbles. The infuriating part is that he's right....
Nutcase Writes Angry Letters To Odd Mix Of Sports Folk
Also Dan Marino and Lou Holtz, but here's the money quote: "I'm getting ready to start killing some more people. Beyonce, Jay-Z, Jerome Bettis and Tune-up Man are the first 4 people I'm getting ready to kill." [Detroit News]...
Lou Holtz's Last Foray Into Politics Didn't Go So Well
"I will have nothing to do with politics," Lou Holtz declared in 1983, assuring his new bosses in Minnesota that his days of endorsing race-baiting gasbags for Senate were over. Now he wants to run for Congress. Flip-flop!...
Coach Who Said Hitler Was A Good Leader Wants To Run For Congress
Because no one reads the newspaper, and SportsCenter's anchors are too perky for this early in the morning, Deadspin combs the best of the broadsheets and the blogosphere to bring you everything you need to know to start your day....
Japan Learns How To Lose From Notre Dame
Lou Holtz coached up the Fighting Irish and, afterward, a losing coach bemoaned a moral victory, so Saturday's college football exhibition was just like any other. Except Notre Dame won. And the game was in Japan....
Notre Dame Desperately Wants To Beat <i>Someone</i> At Football

Springtime For Lou Holtz ... ESPN, Double Standards And You
Once upon a time, a site called The Black Table had a regular feature entitled Waxing Off, in which women gathered in an online roundtable to discuss issues of the day, and also to make fun of Will Leitch's shoes. And so we got to thinking: With so many great female sports bloggers out there, why no...
Jemele Hill Just Taking This Whole Lou Holtz-Hitler Backlash in Stride
Jemele Hill finally addressed the whole Lou Holtz/Hitler non-suspension story today on her personal blog and is predictably measured in her response. Hill, who was suspended last summer after she dropped the H-bomb in a pro-Pistons column for ESPN.com, says that she's received plenty of emails from ...
OK, Lou Holtz Apologized; Will ESPN Discipline Him?
As you're surely aware of by now, Lou Holtz made the unfortunate mistake of comparing Adolf Hitler to Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez on the air last night. Rodriguez's non-existent mustache has yet to issue a statement. ESPN wisely (if inconsiderately) roused Mr. Holtz from the comfort of his bed th...
Lou Holtz Might Be Taking Some Time Off
So, we didn't see this live and, at 7:30 on a Friday, well, most people who handle the video uploading duties over here are out enjoying the weekend, but according to many readers, and a couple of message boards, Lou Holtz just dropped a Hitler reference during one installment of College Football Li...
Lou Holtz Now Dabbleth In Thaturday Thychiatry
Signal To Noise, who deserves the game ball for yesterday's incarnation of the Hugh Johnson Project, was the first to show us the latest gimmick for ESPN analyst Lou Holtz to dispense his folksy flavor of football knowledge to TV audiences each Saturday. We covered this in Spud's Blogdome, but it re...
Lou Holtz - 60 Years = Jason Krause
Last night, Lou Holtz broke ground on his little game of Dress-Up by crossing borders to The Association and giving a pep talk to the Knicks as if he were Isiah Thomas ... wearing a Knicks jersey. It might not be too far-fetched if something in Thomas's cortex snapped and he wore a Knickerjersey on ...
Get Hammered With Lou Holtz
We're still rather amazed by Lou Holtz's magic trick, so perhaps that's clouding our judgment, but we're really starting to fall in love with Holtz's weekly "pep talks." They're bizarre, out-of-place and entirely self-contained, to the point that we find ourselves legitimately pepped! Fire us up, Lo...
For Lou Holtz's Next Trick, He Will Need A Volunteer From The Audience
1:02 — Lou's got a newspaper out. Says the editorial page is for "people who can't think." Considering that Lou's ripping up a USA Today, we'll give him that one uncontested....
