First impressions...
Just had to share this...
The four local major outlets - the LA Times, ESPNLA, OC Register and myself - each got brief individual sit-down interviews with new UCLA head coach Jim L. Mora. I walk in for mine, he breaks into a huge smile and says, "So it's my first press conference, I'm nervous and everything, I look out into the crowd and see you and I'm like...is that Jonah Hill?"
Welp.
(oh, and he also said he hopes to have a couple of new hires to announce by the end of the day)
Just golden. I wish you had it on tape a la ben howland kiss. Hire's by the end of the day already? sounds great.
*hires
LOL, wait till he finds out you're working with Chaz Bono. You should send him the link to you and Chaz doing your "show" from McDonalds. Classic.
LOL! Now we have a team coached by Mark Walberg and covered by Chaz Bono and Jonah Hill.
The coach was right on... I always thought Jon looks like Jonah Hill (before he slimmed down)...
Thanks for breaking that ice Jon. I already hate Mora and I am not sure why. A little levity put things in perspective. I'll give the guy a shot.
@ Anon (4:46 pm):
Seriously, he does look like Marky Mark.
(Thanks for adding the last part) (kill me now)
Thanks Jon-ah and please keep us up to speed on those new hires!!! It can only help with the recruiting!!! Good Luck Mora and Go Bruins.
There is nothing more heart warming than a love at first sight story.
Gold you know you lie. You know he called YOU Chaz Bono and you couldn't admit it.
I like Mora's style. We need a tough guy with the guts to tell the players to act like men and be acountable. It's a privalege to play football and attend UCLA.
You should have played along and asked him if he wanted to be in your next movie.
