First-year UCLA head football coach DeShaun Foster was notably brief during his appearance at Big Ten media day. His formal introduction as Chip Kelly’s successor was, to put it mildly, lacking in detail.
Foster’s opening remarks followed the usual coach-speak, sharing typical expressions of “excitement” about becoming UCLA’s head coach and the team’s upcoming debut in the Big Ten conference this fall.
Then he paused, mentioning UCLA’s location in Los Angeles. Thankfully, he refrained from mentioning anything about beating Medicare.
“I’m sure you guys don’t know too much about UCLA and our football program, but we’re in L.A. Um… It’s us and USC. We, um…I’m just basically excited, really. That’s it. Any questions?”
Social media commentators quickly jumped on the opportunity.
“If there isn’t a UCLA Football – “We’re in L.A., any questions?” shirt, then we have failed as a society,” said user John Kail.
“Today I learned that UCLA is, in fact, located in Los Angeles,” added Carter Bahns.
