Last season we twice checked on the picking prowess of ESPN's Lou Holtz and Mark May during a bonus segment called "Take Your Pick." The dynamic duo combined to go a disastrous 3-17 picking winners straight up in a two-week stretch. Unfortunately those precious videos are now "unavailable."
Certainly the new season would bring clarity to their selections and restore some level of credibility, wouldn't it? Jiminy Christmas, were we wrong.
Holtz and May went a combined 2-6 this past week, including a perfect 0-4 by Lou-Do. We'd love to embed the video, but get this — embedding has been disabled by request! Seriously, has come to this? Are their straight-up selections so god-awful that the World Wide Leader is too embarrassed to allow embedding?
Gutless. Absolutely gutless.

Would you have picked BC Mr. Wiz???
Where are your weekly picks?

It's straight up, no lines... with what they have access to, they should get 80% right. How do you pick FSU over BC? Or even U Tenn over Auburn? all you have to do is watch some of their games, not hard.

Where are the Wiz's picks? Check his column each week on Covers.com.
Not sure about the disabling of all videos. Here's one that has embedding enabled:

Please get rid of Lou Holtz and Reece Davis they really are out of time in reviewing teams and predicting. Neither one of them are in the same league as Mark May. Lou sorry the game has passed you by. Reece, you tend to sway with Mr. Holtz you are the same out of time. GET RID OF THEM>
