At least we didn’t do this…

uh.....yeah. Not sure wtf was the vision there. When I saw 3 podiums, I thought is was some sort of game show. With the Yeti ad‘s and the scrolling Muscle Milk and Rocket mortgage ad’s, I was wondering why the cheerleaders didn’t have ad’s sown into their clothes
 
LR looked awkward coming up to the front as if to say "What kind of clown show is this?"

The random people walking to the sides and the back area.....the uneasy clapping by one dude......the band covering in front.......the camera that was too zoomed in and cutting off the cheerleaders at certain points....the three tvs all showing his name.


Egad, I know what kind of clown show this is. It's a circus. I can't wait till they bring out the elephants.

It kinda reminded of family feud and I thought they were going to hit their podium buzzer to answer a question. Lol
 
A couple of points about the hotness. First, its indisputable. Second, the dance routine is so preposterous its a self parody of the of the entire state. But credit where it is due. The SC cheerleaders sweater and miniskirt worn by, as they might say it today, the cheerleaders who have vulvas (fka female cheerleaders), is an iconic outfit. Unchanged since to 1960s, when it was considered racy, its now almost tasteful compared to the stripper outfits you see at some other schools.

But the press conference as a whole has rightly been the object of ridicule. SB Nation did the most the most brutal takedown.

The write-up on SBNation made me laugh.

'USC is a big school, one of the biggest in the nation, yet somehow they made Riley’s introduction look like it was filmed in the conference room of a Ramada Inn at 2 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon in order to get a reduced rate.

The camera never shows anything beyond the stage, which makes me feel like there was nothing else around. Also, who conceived of this being the way to wow Lincoln Riley? Yes, USC, we get it, your band played “Tusk” with Fleetwood Mac back in 1979, and you keep making the song a thing for some reason.

You know who wasn’t around in 1979? LINCOLN RILEY. The dude is 38-years old. Have you met a 38-year-old who can’t wait to get down to some Fleetwood Mac? They don’t exist. If you claim they exist you’re lying.'


The author is wrong about Fleetwood Mac, though. I'm around Riley's age and love them–at least the Buckingham-Nicks era. I haven't listened to the other 19 Mac albums that no one cares about.

My son, who is 34, told me the same thing. I still would love to see SC flop. Cant give a good reason why. They never did anything to me.

Good article until they decided that Fleetwood Mac isn't great for anyone under 40.

Guy probably loves Kanye.
