ESPN's College GameDay took place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for college football's most anticipated match-up of the week between bitter SEC archrivals Alabama and LSU. The Worldwide Leader In Sports' most frequent music celebrity guest Lil Wayne happened to be in New Orleans for a show on Friday, so he made a stop over to sit with Desmond Howard, Rece Davis, Lee Corso, and Kirk Herbstreit to give his predicted winners of today's college football game to the expert panel.
Wayne rocked a LSU No. 7 jersey (that's Leonard Fournette's jersey sold without his surname on it because college athletes get no dough from the NCAA) and simply participated in the exaggerated laughs and small jokes that you see on these types of panel shows. His picks for today's wins was merely repeated what most of the panelists said preceding his selections, including his most obvious partiality towards LSU over Bama.
When they asked him why he chose his picks, he didn't elaborate much. He's probably learned from his past mistakes after what happened on ABC's Nightline this past week, and the backlash he received in September when he spoke with Skip Bayless about race relations on Fox Sports Network. So we won't be hearing a lot of explanations for his opinions for a while.
But there were highlights like when Lee Corso asked Wayne if his ring was fake or real, and then pretended to jack it from his hand. Also, Corso was the funniest making his pick for LSU by putting on a Tiger mascot head.
This looks like a great cartoon in the making "Lee-Weezy-ana."
