Homecoming Queen and the Band Geek, Lou Holtz

Sunday, September 7, 2008 Leave a Comment


I'm sitting here watching some ESPN and I believe it's College Football Live that's on. The host asks the question on which team has the most depth at Tailback. The other guys says, "clearly it's USC." He points out how we have so many former All-American HS Tailbacks and how many of them have shown they can score. He even points out how our backs can catch and create plays after the catch. USC is always referred to as Tailback U. We have more top RB recruits than anyone else in college football. I honestly thought that this would be that ONE time that Lou Holtz would have to say something positive about USC. I was wrong.

The question is who has the most depth. Lou Holtz responds by saying USC doesn't have a durable back like Beanie Wells. Say what??? He then goes on and says there's only one ball so it doesn't matter how many backs USC has and that if he can hand the ball to anyone it would be Beanie Wells over any USC backs because they aren't as durable. Say what??? Beanie Wells = durable back??? Guy who didn't even play yesterday cause he was hurt is durable??? Ohio State Buckeyes who couldn't run the ball against Ohio (insert unknown mascot here) has more depth at tailback than USC??? Okay sure thing Lou. Whatever you say.

If USC is the Homecoming Queen, Lou Holtz must be that geeky band guy that tried to ask her out to prom and got turned down. So now he's all butt hurt and refuses to acknowledge how hot the homecoming queen is. If USC whoops the Buckeyes next week, Lou Holtz will be the first one to make excuses how it happened. I'm just glad the host didn't ask Lou Holtz to compare San Diego Aztecs and USC. I just don't know how he would go about justifying that the Aztecs are better. Well I guess if anyone was to do that, it would be our geeky band guy, Lou :)
