American Dream From A Meme

You'd have to live under a rock if you don't recognize this picture right here:

I always wanted to know what the story was behind the Popeye's Meme kid. Turns out, it was a case of mistaken identity from a extinct social media app.

A decade ago, a customer was approaching the line for filling up drinks at a Popeye's restaurant. Unaware of what was going on, Dieunerst Collin, of East Orange, New Jersey, simply minding his own business, was mistaken for Lil Terrio, a social media star from the now defunct Vine app. Dieunerst, who was 8 years old at that time, uncertain of what the person recording him was trying to do, gave him the side eye and became one of the most legendary memes of our generation. This simple, unassuming look generated millions of views on Vine, screenshots, gifs and memes, as the ultimate online expression for awkwardness, confusion and minding your own business.

What we also didn't know was that behind this awkward, unassuming look was a gifted, championship-winning athlete, who has now gone on to play NCAA Division II football at Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio, currently as an Offensive Lineman.

I'll be honest, I was aware of his success that he had playing football in high school and even winning a championship while playing, but didn't pay much attention to it afterwards, until buzz began generating on Twitter when people began to wonder what ever happened to the Popeyes Meme kid.

Once he was recognized at Lake Erie College, where he is currently studying sports management, this ignited sports fans, football fans and meme aficionados everywhere to track down this young man, whose overnight fame began with a simple eye glance, and rally around him to get the deal of a lifetime. An NIL sponsorship with Popeyes, the restaurant that "awkwardly" made him internet famous.

This is a feel good story for the ages, one that started of somewhat cringy and now has come full circle to give this young man his due. I wish nothing but the best for Dieunerst Collin and look forward to his future success.

Biggest UCLA Spring showcase to date

PASADENA, CA- UCLA's football Spring Showcase at the Rose Bowl Stadium was not just a routine scrimmage. It was the largest practice game to date for UCLA and with the fans echoing their hopes and aspirations for a great season, the team couldn’t have been more hyped in this battle. As the sun struck the fans hard with it being 85 degrees in the stadium, it acted as a shining spotlight for the Bruins to ball out in front of an energetic crowd. The Rose Bowl Stadium stands as a beacon of UCLA Bruin's legacy, as a venue that has witnessed some of the sport's most memorable moments. For UCLA, stepping onto the field of the Rose Bowl isn't just about playing a game; it's about embracing a legacy and aspiring to create their own chapter in the annals of college football history.

The defense has been a focal point for UCLA head coach DeShaun Foster’s scheme yet, his offense came out with a tactic that was going to give them the upper hand in the showcase. “It was easier for the offense to get open and for them to score points in my score system,” Foster said. “This past week we have been cooking up plays and we made quick strategies that have made our defense look bad even though they are the standout of this team.” The offense also had a brand new offensive line with many new players in the lineup who were in different positions. Senior Josh Carlin transitioned from his previous role at right guard to take up the pivotal position of center, while redshirt junior Bruno Fina shifted from left tackle to assume duties at right guard. This reshuffling paved the way for redshirt Junior Jaylan Jeffers to step into the left tackle position, as Carlin replaced redshirt freshman Sam Yoon, who had been serving as the second-string center. According to Foster, the rationale behind these adjustments was to create versatility among the players and to prepare them for potential positional changes. "I want all of the guys to play multiple positions and understand each position with the offensive line to the best of their abilities," Foster explained regarding the strategic realignment of the offensive line. “I want to have a plan B, C, or even D because we as a team want to do anything to make our Bruins happy and win it big this season."

Photo credit: Carlos Jones/News4usonline This strategic maneuver not only underscores the coaching staff's emphasis on adaptability and depth but also underscores their proactive approach to roster management, ensuring that the team is equipped to navigate any challenges that may arise during the course of the season. As UCLA football gears up for the upcoming campaign, the revamped offensive line stands out as a testament to the team's commitment to flexibility and preparation in pursuit of gridiron success. The team and crowd made this game not like any of the showcase games. Associate head coach/offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said that this is the new setting moving forward when the season starts. “From autograph sessions to ringing the victory bell for the fans, we want to make this year stand out as the best and most hyped ever," Bieniemy said. “We know everyone’s excited, and for much of the coaching staff that is former players, they feel more happier than ever and even feel it’s like time for all of L.A. to be Bruin fans again.” Read the full article

The Big Ten Power Play: Assessing the Challengers and Storylines for the 2023 Season

As summer gives way to the thrill of the impending college football season, conference media days events throughout the nation signify the unofficial commencement of gridiron action. Amid this fervor, the Big Ten conference is all set to command center stage as its 14 teams convene in Indianapolis for a two-day precursor to their 2023 season campaigns. The Battle of the Titans: Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State Leading the Big Ten pack is Michigan, seeking a third consecutive conference title for the first time since the 90s. Challenging the Wolverines' dominance are formidable opponents such as Ohio State and Penn State, who are likely to top most preseason polls. Add to the fray a myriad of contenders from the Big Ten West as the conference introduces three new coaches, setting the stage for an electrifying season ahead. A Third Title in Sight for Michigan Under the leadership of head coach Jim Harbaugh, Michigan has raised the bar for expectations in the 2023 season. Boasting an impressive roster that includes starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy and arguably the country's best running back duo in Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards, Michigan is tipped to comfortably navigate through most of their schedule. The team's quest for their first national title since 1997 will be put to the test in their Big Ten East confrontations with Penn State and Ohio State. Read the full article
