| FTBL Dr. Lou

Anyone else hear the announcer at the USC vs Oregon St game imitating him? I fell out of my lazy boy laughing.
 
I can't understand why people like to make fun of someone with a speech problem, especially someone that has overcome to be a champion. He brought SC back from the dead. He's a motivational speaker with a speech impediment. That's pretty impresive if you ask me. Who cares if he is a homer? He's earned it. Ya'll are a bunch of losers.
 
I thought Dr. Lou was a riot.

"If you approve, drive during the day with your lights on. If you don't drive at night with them off." LOL

Craig James.

I had a good chuckle too.

James said Lou taught him that, "Someth timeth on second and shorthth you needth to justh getth the firstth down."

That was pretty funny. At least Craig James is useful for something...

Classic Holtz. Sort of a Will Rogers-esque type of homespun humor - just beyond the comprehension of Mark May. :)

Sorry, I just couldn't leave well enough alone. It just bothers me. The signs at Gameday and all.

You're forgiven. :D

FWIW, I feel the same way about Holtz. He's not one of my favorites by any stretch. But, he's got an amazing attitude and college football is better with him as a part of it.

Personally, I think making fun of his impediment is a bit tasteless, but he IS a public figure and there is a double standard for what is acceptable to make fun of.

People make fun of those who have weight problems and it is ok. Ralph Friedgen and Phil Fulmer have been routinely made fun of on this board and nobody runs to their defense. As someone who has struggled with weight for YEARS, I feel that far more people make fun of and attack the obese than any other group, and it is widely accepted as OK.

I have lost 120# since last summer, but not everyone can do it. Not everyone's weight problems are of their own doing, yet they all get made fun of and verbally attacked. Some people are genetically predisposed to being overweight and all the diet and exercise they can do does not matter...but people still point and stare.

Lou getting made fun of is minor compared to the pain that millions of obese Americans suffer at the hands of others.

So excuse me if I have no problem saying "sheventy-shree sheven-teen"

I have a hard time believing this. And even if it is true I bet it is a very very small percentage of people. I think people with Downs have this problem but I don't think they get made fun unless someone is just plain mean.


Congrats on losing the buck twenty. That's some hardcore fitness. I'm about twenty pounds overweight and can't seem to shake it. I eat too much.

I agree in principle with what you are saying. Especially when it comes to making fun of overweight people for no other reason than their appearance.

But, as far a Fulmer is concerned - for Bama fans I think it has a lot more to do with than just his weight. His weight just happens to be just another flaw that they (we) can attack. Childish? Yeah. Funny? Well, given what he's tried to do to my beloved Crimson Tide - anything that pokes a little fun at him gets a little chuckle out of me.

I can't lose weight unless I virtually starve myself. Over the past year, I have been pretty well doing that. The sad thing is, I will have to do it the rest of my life or I will gain it back. My hope is that when I get to my goal I can increase my fitness level to the point that I can run a couple miles each day and burn off enough to maintain my weight.

I can stay under 1000 calories for 5 days in a week (3 x 250 calorie protein shakes + 1 6" subway), walking a mile each day...eat hotwings one day and a normal meal one day, and gain weight that week. I actually did that last week. Gained 2 pounds.

Near starvation + switching hardcore diet supplements every month = 120# in a year. It is my makeup. I know skinny people who eat fried food and drink sugary sodas & beer all the time and never gain a pound...it is genetic.
