Former USC safety Ronnie Lott was one of six new members added to the College Football Playoff committee. The other new members are here. Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens will be the new chair.
UPDATED: College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock said Lott will not have to recuse himself when discussing USC.
Never figured Ronnie Lott to be another Max Nikias “Yes Man” like that figure head Lynn Swann.
“YES MAN”
please tell us what Lott has done to earn that distinction.
Is there anyone or anything you have viewed positively?
Que the usual suspects to spin this into negative news somehow…
No one from WKU is on that list, booooo
If Max Nikias is still on the board then he’s close enough
Pick a finger!
A name that caught Mr. Jenkins eye is scribe Paola Boivin. In the 1990s, she was the UCLA beat reporter for the LA Daily News, plus, as Mr. Jenkins threw back many an Old Fashioned, could often be heard on Joe McDonnell’s radio show gleefully joining in his Trojan-trash fest.
Mr. Jenkins, what is the drink of the day?
With the Men of Troy headed to Oregon this week, Mr. Jenkins will be selecting a Willamette Valley Pinot Noir to enjoy while watching USC play the Ducks tomorrow night. (It’s pronounced will-am-it, dammit!)
Good call…..enjoy!
Sokol Blosser has a nice Pinot. King Estate as well.
AND it pairs wonderfully with DUCK!
HA! Because it really and truly does.
Yes, King’s Estate.
It’s a great winery to visit. Beautiful location and views.
Your usual, Night Train ripple.
Who asked you?
Mr. Jenkins recalls the dark days when this was one of the few “wines” available with a screw-off cap instead of a cork.
Loaded like a freight train
Flyin’ like an aeroplane
Feelin’ like a space brain
One more time tonight
Well I’m a west coast struttin’
One bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase
Under my arm
Said I’m a mean machine
Been drinkin’ gasoline
And honey you can make my motor hum
I got one chance left
In a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail
With a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style
An I can tell you honey
You can make my money tonight
Wake up late
Honey put on your clothes
Take your credit card
to the liquor store
That’s one for you and
two for me by tonight
I’ll be loaded like a freight train
Flyin’ like an aeroplane
Feelin’ like a space brain
One more time tonight
I’m on the nightrain
Bottoms up
I’m on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I’m on the nightrain
Ready to crash and burn
I never learn
I’m on the nightrain
I love that stuff
I’m on the nightrain
I can never get enough
I’m on the nightrain
Never to return-no
If you don’t give your money to Big Red, then Big Red will die, and you don’t want Big Red to die, do you?
Too bad USC is a coach away from the playoffs , they would have got slaughtered if they were in it this year.
They did get slaughtered
Even if Ronnie was required to recuse himself I doubt it’ll be an issue next season.
“And now the board will discuss USC. Ronnie, stop crying.”
“Can we discuss UCLA? Ronnie, stop laughing.”
One of the Greatest Trojans of all time.
