The Worst College Football Show Ever...

Lou holtz’s passion for notre dame is basically what i think a stereotypical cowboys fan is like 😂

[@BillyBassBen]

That’s because Notre Dame is the cowboys of college football and I hate them for that

[@YodaSmokes]

Ofc you think that. The media wouldn’t let you believe anything else. Truth is, as a Dallas fan, we probably talk more shit about our team than others do. Jerry is a 🤡, dak is never going to get anything accomplished and is already on the decline. Until dak is replaced and Jerry jones is gone, Dallas won’t be winning a Super Bowl. I know that, we all know that. Only the media doesn’t pretends to not know. If only we could’ve had great defenses and Olines with Romo.

ESPN was much better before all the debate shows were created in the early 2000s. The most debate you used to get back in the day would be Corso and Herbstreit arguing on College Gameday. Gen Z doesn't understand.

I loved Holtz and May, College Football Final with them was a million times better than what's on today

[@HTHAMMACK1]

Holtz and May were garbage.

[@beachwineguy]

I remember when ND lost two or three games at the start of the season, and Lou said that if they lost another one, they might not make the BCS Championship.

[@DonovanGG__]

Lou was the biggest hater of the 2010 Auburn team. I remember him picking us to lose like almost every week💀

[@loganminor27]

This was a fantastic show. I looked forward to this every Sunday. Seeing mark and lou battle each other was awesome.

[@xliquidflames]

Dude, 2015? Yeah. That feels like yesterday because I graduated high school in 2000. I still feel like the year 2003 was just a little while ago but it was _two decades ago._ I remember these guys vividly. They were hilarious. Lou always played second fiddle to Lee Corso. But anyone is better than having to listen to Gary Danielson.

[@ericthomas917]

Corso and Holtz were at least entertaining unlike Danielson

[@Red-Wolf-Ben]

I'm an '04 graduate, and I know just what you mean... only in the past few years did the nineties stop feeling like ten years ago.

[@connormcclenny9681]

Lou Holtz was hysterical and was in on the joke the entire time. These two guys were great.

[@voiceofreason2674]

This show RULED, it was back before the BCS and playoff had proved that the SEC was basically on another level. and these guys would sell you on some random team and you would legit believe that a flukey upstart was the best team in the country

[@knothyselfknotruth]

U mean back before ESPNmafia bought the SEC to make sure it was best conference through unlimited propaganda, schedule manipulation, and pseudo-rankings!

[@Drummajortsu]

SEC was just getting its brains beat in (USC 4-0 vs SEC) because population changes had not happened yet and SEC commish got conf together to stop snitching on one another so NCAA wouldn’t care that they were cheating.

[@a-gappower1574]

This show was an absolute gem

[@IncogM]

[@pacoferreiraz]

[@NCISfanatic21]

One of the dumbest comments I remember Mark May saying was after Urban Meyer’s first game in 2012 against Miami(OH. Miami went down and got a field goal to go up 3-0. Ohio State then scored 56 straight points till Miami scored again. When discussing Ohio State’s performance that might on Final Verdict, Mark May rambled on about how Ohio State had to come from behind to win lol

I ALWAYS complained about Lou Holtz bias. “Notre Dame has the best receiver, qb and running back in the country” ranked 20th 😂😂😂😂😂. Join a conference already ya bums.

Don't short change his South Carolina bias, he'd pick them to the win the SEC every year and ND to win the natty.

I share your sentiment. Looking back, I liked the continuity of seeing them every week during College football season despite my feeling that the show was a rambling and, often, incoherent mess.

[@ChristopherM720]

They were there to entertain and did that. Holtz was a very good coach at getting a lot out of limited talent. May was a very smart interior lineman. But yes, their biases could be nauseating. But I miss these days.

Ayo!! I remember watching them back in them days..They were like always the main crew for CFB on ESPN/ABC and yes sometimes they gave some good reviews, then most o the time it was kinda like flying it until the show ended. Most of the time, it was Coach Lou Holtz always trying to bring Notre Dame back saying this and saying that like they are better than a lot of teams. Then Mark May always dissing teams and trying to escalate and provoke Lou Holtz on the show. It was okay to watch, its more because there wasn't much other options to watch at the moment.
