Lou Holtz leaves ESPN
- Thread starter RUtah
- Start date
Despite the hypocrisy of May and Holz' pro-ND stance, I actually liked Holz' and Mays' banter, but found myself watching them less this year in favor of the BTN coverage. Another article said ESPN and Holz "mutually agreed" to part ways.
I'm going to miss the interaction between Lou Holtz and Mark May on 'College Football Final' late Saturday nights/early Sunday mornings. I enjoyed their goofy performances... it was entertaining and fun to watch. And remember, the first letter of that network is E.... with S being second.
Also, I was disappointed there was no ACC Wheel of Destiny for the 2014 season of College Football Final... perhaps the producers weren't allotted enough money to construct a new wheel featuring Louisville instead of Maryland.

The College Football Final show used to be great. The first year you could tell that May and Holtz didn't like each other one bit and at times it was tense but they figured out in year two how to use that fire between them to make great TV. In the end I think they respected each other but the show has become a typical ESPN promotion. The Final Verdict segment was just completely stupid where Reese plays judge and May & Holtz play lawyers. Just awful. Along with the Highlight Lounge where the three of them would sit in front of a giant TV screen and the camera was behind them as they commented was a complete joke. It reminded me of Mystery Science 3000. Typical of ESPN to take something that worked and keep making changes until the original show is unrecognizable.
I think Holtz is leaving because the show became an embarrassment and he was tired of the Doctor Lou segments. How many times can you beat that dead horse!
The only part worth watching was the last 2 minutes to see he got helmet stickers.

Thank God. I couldn't stand listening to him slurping and slurring through halftime. ESPN needs to clean house. Listening to the same schtick was so tiring I started muting during halftimes like five years ago.
I wonder if ESPN will end up on probation, like every other organization (college) that Holtz left, except for the Jets.
