Is LA a bad sports town?
Episode 4
Show notes
If you want a former Los Angeles resident’s opinion on USC Attendancegate, I have a podcast for you. It’s this one! On the show this week, Lucy reminisces on her experience attending the USC-Utah game in 2023 and life as a sports fan in Los Angeles. We talk about our favorite games from Week 0, Charles Huff’s anti-music takes, the best time zones for football, and Missouri’s brand new National Championship.
To preview Week 1, we talk about possible upsets in Louisville-Ole Miss, Notre Dame-Wisconsin, and Clemson-LSU. Also, which games are the grossest? Well, there’s one game in Cincinnati that’s nastier than a bowl of Skyline Chili. Plus, another look at the crown jewel of the weekend UCLA @ Cal. I bet that game will be sold out!
