Mark May is not impressed with Dr. Lou
Lou Holtz and Mark May are a couple of my favorites on ESPN. They seem to care much less about picking games correctly than they do about one-upping each other and being huge homers for their schools. I’ve noticed ESPN is keeping track of their “Take your pick” records on Sportscenter, but those records are not all-inclusive, and frankly I’m not sure which segments those are coming from because they typically do one on Friday nights, then sometimes Thursday nights or Saturday mornings which include different predictions and picks. So while the ESPN “official” record probably only accounts for one of those segments in particular, I make note any time one of them says “I think [insert team] is going to win this game on Saturday”.
Here are the picks from Dr. Lou Holtz I have so far along with his record. In all fairness I should have him listed with upwards of a million losses on his picks for predicting Notre Dame to play in the national championship in 2009 but I do things strictly by the numbers.
