Mark May come out of the shadows to troll Ohio State fans with Fiesta Bowl pick.
Share this article.
Gone from ESPN, and gone from college football mainstream in general, former Ohio State media nemesis Mark May has come out of hiding just in time for the 2019 Fiesta Bowl.
You remember May. He was famous for sticking it to Ohio State no matter what the situation, whenever given a chance. Whether it was picking against the Buckeyes in seemingly every big spotlight game, or simply nagging OSU fans at every corner, he literally made a career out of loving to hate anything scarlet and gray.
Well then. Dave Briggs of the Toledo Blade caught up with May out in Arizona and got him on camera providing his prediction for the Fiesta Bowl between Ohio State and Clemson. Yeah, you know how this is going to turn out.
“Buckeye fans, deep down you know I loved you forever and ever through the years — I was just toying and playing with you guys,” May told Briggs. “Nah … that wasn’t true. You know I was sticking it to you, and I’ll stick it to you again. I’m not done yet, I’ll be back.”
May then was asked to give his prediction on the game Saturday. I’m sure you can figure out how that went.
“You know what, to tell you the truth, I think Dabo Swinney and Clemson are going to rock the house,” May said. “Remember the last time you face Dabo? Huh, did you score a point? Are you going to score a point this time? I got Clemson winning again 38 — I’ll give you a point — 38 to 7.”
Listen to May yourself and watch him revel in tweaking Ohio State fans one more time thanks to Dave Briggs.
The more things change, the more they stay the same apparently when it comes to Mark May and his love affair with Ohio State fans.
We have a forum and message board now. Get in on the conversation about Ohio State athletics by joining the Buckeyes Wire Forum.


Lou Holtz and Mark May have been doing a college football show all season, but almost no one is watching.
For a decade from 2005-2014, Lou Holtz and Mark May were paired as analysts on ESPN’s College Football Final (May was actually there since 2001, Holtz joined in 2005). Now, they’re partnering again for college football analysis, releasing just an incredible number of videos over the last couple of months for an app/website called “The Crowd’s Line,” which has a “Compete in our FREE College Football Contests With Lou Holtz and Mark May!” banner. By our count, there are 112 of these videos with Holtz, May and host Kevin Trimble currently on YouTube (most have all of them, a couple of those clips have just Holtz or May); there’s an hour-plus College Football Show each week, and it’s then cut into every conceivable part, such as a breakdown of each particular matchup. But there aren’t many people watching.
Here’s a recent example of this, a two-minute Colorado-Washington preview posted Wednesday night with a staggering 12 views by Thursday morning:
Of course, the cutting into chunks strategy seems to have some merits. The most-watched Holtz and May video on there is this two-minute Texas-A&M Alabama preview from Week 4, with 19,508 views as of Thursday morning. (By contrast, the full show from that week had 852 views.) Second is this four-minute Michigan-Notre Dame one from Aug. 30, clocking in with 17,904 views as of Thursday morning. By contrast, the full show from that week (Week 1) has pulled in 4,937 views.
However, thousands of views are far more the exception than the rule for this show, as the YouTube numbers illustrate. (And yes, these videos have sometimes been distributed on Twitter and other platforms too, so the YouTube numbers aren’t necessarily all-inclusive, but they provide an example of how much of an impact this is making.) Only eight of the 112 clips/shows have seen over 5,000 views on YouTube, and only one of those is a full show (Week 7).
The others are four Notre Dame previews (Holtz used to coach there, you know, as you’ll be regularly reminded if you watch him), that Texas A&M-Alabama preview, a preview of Ohio State-TCU, and a preview of South Carolina-Kentucky. Meanwhile, only 17 of the 112 clips/shows have pulled in at least 1,000 views, and 44 of the clips/shows have been watched less than 100 times. (And consider that some of those views may be from the same people returning to a clip later, perhaps making the audience even smaller.)
The latest.
John Sadak will be the new Reds’ play-by-play broadcaster on Fox Sports Ohio CBS’ Super Bowl sideline reporters describe COVID’s impact on preparing for Chiefs-Bucs “I think I’d be really good if I did it”: Troy Aikman talks about GM aspirations with Colin Cowherd NWHL suspends its season ahead of Isobel Cup semifinals following further positive COVID-19 tests.
And yes, this would likely draw a lot more viewers with identical content but a bigger platform, and yes, even these relatively-small viewership numbers may be a success for The Crowd’s Line. At the least, they’ve made some people aware that they exist. But at the same time, it’s rather fascinating to see Holtz and May doing much of what they were doing at ESPN, bantering back and forth about games weekly, but doing so for an audience that’s so much smaller.
And that maybe speaks to where those personalities are in 2018; there’s a reason their last College Football Final debate was in 2014. Holtz appeared to leave of his own volition after that season, but he was 78 at the time (he’s 81 now), and while it’s possible ESPN might have kept him around longer if he’d wanted to stay, it’s far from a sure thing given all the criticism his analysis brought in the last few years. And May’s long–running cartoonish Ohio State bashing (and other dumb comments posing as analysis) eventually proved more trouble than it was worth, with ESPN deciding to move on from him on College Football Final as well after Holtz’s retirement, creating much rejoicing in the college football community.
Replacements Adnan Virk, Joey Galloway, Danny Kanell (2015-16) and Jesse Palmer (2017-present) have drawn some criticism at times as well, but the general reaction to them seems much more positive than it was for Holtz and May (especially during the last few years of their tenure together). And there’s a reason ESPN barely used May after they took him off College Football Final . (He was eventually let go in last April’s layoffs.) But hey, if people out there are pining for May and Holtz, they now have that option. And it looks like a thousand or so people are doing that each week.

Mark May Releases Score Prediction For Alabama vs. Auburn.
Former ESPN college football analyst Mark May is still making game predictions with Lou Holtz.
The former ESPN college football analysts duo makes score predictions each week for The Crowd’s Line’s “College Football Show.”
This week, May and Holtz made their score picks for the Iron Bowl between No. 1 Alabama and No. 22 Auburn.
May likes Alabama to win big – 44 to 17 over Auburn.
Alabama enters Saturday’s game as a big favorite, though the Crimson Tide will be without Nick Saban, who tested positive.
“The head coach is responsible to get your team game ready, that’s Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I used to tell our team that preparation stops when the foot hits the ball. What you’re going to miss on gameday without Nick Saban there, it’s game management. Two-minute situations. Special teams. It’s flipping the (playsheet) over and saying take a shot,” Urban Meyer said today.
“Those are game-management decisions which obviously he’s excellent out. But the different between a Ryan Day and Nick Saban is Saban isn’t the primary play-caller. He’s the game-manager. But the thing is, he’s an excellent defensive coach and he can provide expertise and consultation. Game management and where your expertise is, is what (Alabama will miss).”


Mark May Gives His Score Prediction For Ohio State vs. Michigan.
There aren’t too many people on the planet who are more despised by Ohio State fans than former ESPN college football analyst Mark May. But they may like what he has to say ahead of this Saturday’s huge game between the Buckeyes and the Michigan Wolverines.
May doesn’t work for ESPN anymore, but he does still do prediction videos with former colleague Lou Holtz for company called The Crowd’s Line. Here’s what he had to say about the Ohio State vs. Michigan game – and the spread.
“The No. 1 team in the country, in my opinion, the Buckeyes go to the Big House, playing Michigan. Even though Michigan’s been better offensively, putting more points on the board, they haven’t faced a defense like Ohio State as the No. 1 scoring defense in the land – led by defensive end Chase Young who had a couple of sacks in his return against Penn State.
The one key in this game that they can’t do what they did against Penn State is they can’t put the ball on the ground. They did it four times and lost three fumbles.
I still think the Buckeyes are going to cover in this game. Nine-and-a-half won’t be enough. I got the Buckeyes 45-27.”
Holtz agreed, picking the Buckeyes to win, but he does think Michigan covers. He thinks the final score is 27-24.
It’s a little weird to see May pick the Buckeyes, but that’s how dominant they’ve been this season. He’s gone against them a number of times in the past when it was obvious they were the more talented team.
Saturday’s Ohio State vs. Michigan matchup kicks off at Noon ET on FOX.
