“Oh yeah right now.. I’d just say uh… congratulations to the uh… the what do you call it… Southern California Trojans. I’m so glad they beat the hell out of Michigan. I’m very glad.”

-Jimi

  1. That was simply incredible. I wonder what made him say that.

  2. It has to be satire, although I don’t get it because he was in neutral territory (New York City) at the time. Great concert, however!! Live at the Fillmore East rocks!

  3. he was from Washington, and the Pac-10 (or Pac 8, back then)/Big 10 rivalry was maybe more signficant back then?

    I know I’ve read that he was a sports fan before.
