The rookie coach who fumbled his first Big Ten speaking gig devised a novel way to poke fun at himself.
DeShaun Foster stepped in front of reporters Wednesday morning wearing a custom black T-shirt bearing a blue outline of California with a UCLA football helmet positioned over the school’s spot on the map alongside the words, “We’re in L.A.”
That was the phrase that had made Foster a media-day meme in Indianapolis last week when he stumbled over his opening monologue. A week later, as his team opened training camp ahead of his debut season, Foster made sure he was in on the joke.
