Lou Holtz

[BigDikDaddyFromCincinnati]

Getting older is weird. I'm not even "that old," but I can feel things like compassion entering my mind (and I don't like it). I HATED Lou Holtzsch as a coach. I hated Bobby Bowden as a coach. However, we need our villains to make our Canes shine. When Bobby died, it felt like a small piece of me and my memories went with him. I was sad. Not sad like when a family member or close friend died, but still sad. This is no different with Lou.
Here's what stays the same though:

F.VCK FSU and F.VCK ND 4EVER!

I was never a fan when he was a coach, especially at ND, but I went to a speaker series, and he was one of the speakers, and he was great, seemed like a good man.

I was at South Bend in 1988 when they stole the national championship from us

but after he left the Irish, really loved Lou Holtz

he is a great man and will be missed. better than Bobby Bowden!

As a long time Canes fan I have nothing good to say so...

As a long time canes fan I have nothing bad to say about him. Good coach good human being, he just wore the wrong laundry. Prayers up coach Holz.

Lou is, was a good man. I wish his loved ones well as someone who has been through plenty of this. This should bring out compassion in people over sports competitiveness. I was saddened to learn of this yesterday.

As a die hard Cane fan since 84 all I can say is he made the rivalry that much more worth enjoying the wins.

Lol. Can we stop with the he's a good human thing? Sure he was a good coach but his support for Jesse Helms and his overt racism made the people of Arkansas uncomfortable.. in the 80's. He didn't change much.

I hope he passes peacefully because everyone deserves that much.

Can't stand him, but, life is bigger than football. Wishing him long life.
