Lolo Jones was the special guest on ESPN’s College Gameday. The LSU graduate was ready for Saturday nights game between the Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide. When making her way to the set the two time Olympian slapped hands with the LSU faithful but dodged the hands of Alabama fans.
That was not it for Lolo though. She also called out Denhard Robinson who said earlier this week that he could defeat Usain Bolt in a race.
“Denard Robinson, you couldn’t beat me in a race, let alone Usain Bolt, but I’ll give you and your team the win today.” Jones said as she picked Michigan to defeat Minnesota.
Jones made a few headlines of her own for athletic reasons lately. She recently was named as a member of the U.S. Bobsled team.
