Who else has thought about reviewing the 2009 Sugar Bowl to see if Clarissa Thompson just made up something in a sideline report?

I’m actually surprised she’s still employed after admitting that she just made stuff up, but some of the memes coming out about it are entertaining at the same time. Like this one:

She should get fired for it. Then again she might get a promotion in 2023.

These are really weird times.

She made the great Sugar Bowl sideline quote about the Ute fan charter bus having to get a pardon from Governor Huntsman to exceed the weight limit, then breaking down in Texas, then finally reaching New Orleans after an 18 hour delay. The amazing thing is this story is true with no BS. Her version would have been even better. Good times in ‘09!

I thought that was 100% made up. Is she the source?

IIRC there was some story like that flying around ahead of the game but that it also was shown to be an exaggeration of the real situation.

Was she wearing leather pants?

Apparently the bus didn’t break down in Texas but it did get lost. It’s still a great urban legend.
