Alabama was unlucky that LSU's offense was so good this year I guess.

Ok.. so does that mean Alabama can claim another championship?... The 2019 Lou Holtz Opinion Chammpionship?

Grim•52 months

Would literally be more legitimate than some of their other claimed titles

Swamp Angel•52 months

Not true. Holtz actually said, "Alabama wath the betht team in thphthe country, but got unlucky."

Lou should be in a home.

There is a reason why Lou isn't a college football commentator any more. He is ancient and senile. Then again, the last 10 years he did have a show, he was awful. Notre Dame was the best team every year according to Lou. Glad he is gone.

BayouTiga•52 months

Met the old fuk at a company function about 10 years ago when he still had some brain cells working. I mentioned LSU and he went off talking trash out of nowhere. Came back at him HARD and he personal body guard stepped toward me......REALLY.......talking SMACK football that Lou started and guard freaked......FUKEM!!!

alajones•52 months

I will only say that it is laughable that the committee thinks there are 12 teams better than Bama. My arse.

Big EZ Tiger•52 months

I agree with this.

So player error is now considered luck? Coaching decisions are considered Luck? What nonsense. So If only luck is what determines who the best is ... then how can you ever really know the best is?

When I was a kid I used to like him coaching at Notre Dame...but then when he became an analyst...I couldn't stand Granny Clampett. He can be a blithering idiot sometimes. His bias against LSU is so big it's like a neon sign saying "I HATE LSU". I have no idea what the bad men at LSU did to him as a kid..but he really needs to get over it.

Bo Rein. He was the coach after Charlie Mac that didn't coach a game because his plane went down. He was on a recruiting trip to Shreveport. On the way back to Baton Rouge, the pilot apparently went hypoxic at some point, the plane climbed to over 40k feet and ended up being a ghost ship that ran out of fuel over the Atlantic Ocean. Bo and Lou Holtz were boys. That irrational useless frick has hated LSU ever since.

Gotta love the wuda, cuda, shuda crowd gathering in tuskerloozerz this year. Injuries are part of the game. Dont blame LSU for the GOAT coach to screw it up by leaving Tua in a tad too long against an out manned MooState...bama plays 2 games a year, both near the end of the season. The rest of the year they hold a televised Saturday scrimmage to show everyone how great they are...

Lou is lucky to remember to breathe, much less offer an opinion on college football.

biclops•52 months

Lol, bama's defense was shite. LSU, Clemson, and OSU are all significantly better than bama was this year.

PortCityTiger24•52 months

Ehh... LSU proved to be better on the field. Clemson or Ohio St vs Bama with Tua is a toss up.

imjustafatkid•52 months

LSU proved they were not "significantly better" on the field, even with Tua clearly not being allowed to scramble during the game.

Big EZ Tiger•52 months

Bama never had the ball with a chance to take the lead. Pretty sad.

Champagne•52 months

Notre Dame, too, Lou. Notre Dame's bad luck is the reason why they aren't in the Playoffs ever year. Alabama and Notre Dame should both be in the Playoffs every year, even if they have three losses, because the losses can be blamed on bad luck.

Zeek•52 months

Surprised me that he picked LSU to beat Clemson in the Championship game. But this statement is an example of his usual feelings.

Congrats, Lou, you're still alive.
