There’s always a loudmouth in the group.
On Saturday, as LSU was making its way into the Rose Bowl prior to the Tigers’ game against UCLA, a Bruins fan had some playful words for LSU coach Ed Orgeron. The coach had a quick-witted response that squashed the trash talk.
Orgeron shot back, “Hey, bring your ass on, in your little sissy blue shirt.”
The moment was caught on video.
It is and will continue to be part of what makes college football so great.
And, apparently, Orgeron’s choice words got a vote of support from Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, who tweeted his amusement at the exchange.
The Tigers went 5-5 last season, while the Bruins are 1-0 this season after beating Hawaii 44-10 last week. The two teams have never met in football.
The LSU-UCLA game starts at 7:30 p.m. Central (8:30 p.m. Eastern) and will be live streamed on fubo TV, which offers a 7-day free trial.
Orgeron makes his first trip back to Southern California since he was USC’s interim coach in 2013. He was 6-2 after Lane Kiffin’s dismissal but one of the losses was to the Bruins.
