Is it just me, or are you more excited to watch Lou Holtz and Mark May duke it out this weekend on ESPN than to actually see the Notre Dame-Pitt football game?
Let me just get this off my chest: I hate Mark May. For the past four years (since the Ty Willingham firing) he's come out in the preseason and said how horrible Notre Dame will be.
"Notre Dame will be 1-10 this season." "Notre Dame will lose its first five games." "Notre Dame couldn't make a fart smell." You get the picture. But I digress.
Finally, after two years of getting his idiot face handed to him, last year his dream came true. He finally got to go to sleep at night with his giant "I Hate Notre Dame" T-shirt on and his smug "I Was Finally Right About the Irish" erection.
- B/R Ticket Guide
Then came 2008. Another d-bag prediction of a terrible Notre Dame team. So, here the Irish stand at 5-2 while May's alma mater was just blown out through the air last week against Rutgers.
Obviously, the Irish need to come out and do exactly what Rutgers did to Pitt last week. Establish the pass, get out to a lead, stop LeSean McCoy, and then, when the dust settles, rub it in May's smug face.
And who better to rub said face in the dirt than the biggest Notre Dame fan alive, Lou Holtz?
If ND gets out to a big lead, I will stop watching the game and flip over to ESPN to hopefully see Lou karate-chopping May in the neck and then standing over his comatose body, laughing that insane "WE ARE...ND" laugh.
Prediction: Notre Dame 31, Pitt 17.
Bonus Prediction: Lou Holtz's Put Downs Toward Mark May 310, Mark May Still Sitting There Like a Smug D-Bag 310.

Although I can't say I disagree with a word you said, do you really think Mark May believes Pitt can win?
I haven't seen the two of them talk about the game so far (not that I blame ESPN for trying to avoid such a potential verbal beatdown on either coach), but I just can't see Pitt keeping this close at all.

If we beat Pitt, what will Mark May say? Will he continue to say that we beat bad teams? I dont think he will dog is own school. Will he say ND got lucky? Probably.

As a Pitt fan I should be cheering for Mark May's smugness and booing Lou Holtz and his adult diaper this week. After all I've had a searing hate for all things Notre Dame ever since some middle aged loser tried to pick a fight with me at the Pitt ND game at Heinz field, keep in mind I was 20 at the time and my only crime was wearing Rudy Sucks shirt.
And yet I hate Mark May for the same reason young Gormley does. He's a dick, like almost every sports caster on television. Every washed up announcer, every washed up analyst, every journalist, who thinks they are too cool for school. Well I got news for you Walter Cronkite you aren't. Millions of fans around the world don't care for your callous bastard attitude. You sit behind a desk, the old school way of playing is over I don't care.
Unfortunately Pat Bostick is about as talented as Clausen's new haircut and ND will probably win by ten.

Thanks for the comment Peter. I have to agree with you, this game would be much more interesting if Stull wasn't out. But now ND can just key on the run all day, put 8 men in the box, play man against the WR, and should be able to put the game away. It would be a shame if I cared if the game was good. However, I do not. So I'm glad the Irish should get a win out of this one.

Lou Holtz makes a fool of himself and Notre Dame every time the subject is brought up. He's more like a toddler than a man.

Wow, this is compelling...What happened on the post game studio confrontation when Lou rubbed the big Irish victory into May's smug d-bag face ????
yuck-yuck
Hail to Pitt !!!!!

I'm going to go ahead and eat crow. ND just couldn't close it out. I give credit to Pitt, they fought back and put it away. Tough loss for the Irish.

One way to say it is, the announcers jinxed that poor kicker.
Another way to say it is, Notre Dame couldn't stop the only offensive threat Pitt had.
However yet another way to say it is, if Stull had played Notre Dame might not have made it to the overtime frame.
