Is there another college football rivalry that featured Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig?
In 1927, USC played Notre Dame before 120,000 at Soldier Field in Chicago. The night before the game, an event was held to hype the game and it featured baseball legends Ruth (in a Notre Dame jersey) and Gehrig (in a USC jersey).
The event also promoted the Stanford-Yale game, which is why Stanford coach Glenn “Pop” Warner (far left) is in the picture along with Irish coach Knute Rockne (center next to Ruth) and USC coach Howard Jones (second from the right). Yale coach Tad Jones (far right, younger brother of Howard) and baseball agent Christy Walsh (center, left of Gehrig), who organized the event.
According to an article in the Dec. 4, 1927, Los Angeles Times, it was an annual All-American dinner thrown by Walsh, who was known as the first baseball agent and agent to Ruth.
Ruth and Gehrig performed a skit at the start of the dinner with Ruth impersonating a Notre Dame player while Gehrig was a USC player.
- Does Lincoln Riley know who Howard Jones was? Does he know who Lou Gehrig was? I seriously doubt it. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt on Ruth (barely) and Pop Warner because he probably played Pop Warner football in Muleshoe, Texas. Knute Rockne? It’s not a given.
Riley thinks football started with Mike Leach and Spike Dykes.
- Former USC forward Kiki Iriafen of the the Washington Mystics’ is the second player in league history to have four double-doubles in her first five career games, joining Natalie Williams in 1999.

Seeing how it’s a home game, that would be difficult.

The photo is dated 1927, Ruth was in his prime, but still looks a bit old and out of shape. Image what the guy could have done with todays fitness and diet regimes. Of course, that assume he would follow them. We have John Daly as an example of people with great talent who do not.

KAM: Why are universities like USC prioritizing foreign students over Americans? American institutions should exist to serve Americans first.
DON: Universities prioritize foreign students because they’re addicted to their cash—full tuition, zero accountability. Take USC: 27% of its student body is international.

It is not about the money. The difference in tuition between local students and international students is not significant. So what is it about? It is the desire to be a globalist university. It is the Soros dream – one world without borders run by us, a group of billionaires who are smarter than you, know what you really need and are not subject to your vote. Just do what you are told to do. You will like it, trust us.

She says the same thing over & over again.
Now she’ll lie AGAIN, claiming I do the same. A) It’s not the exact same thing because it’s not a lame attempt at humor. B) The people who did it should be reminded for the rest of their lives, so they don’t do it again. Until they take responsibility for it, they should be reminded.
