This might be the best excuse I have ever heard from a player for why he was having an off day at practice.
USC running back Ronald Jones is a native Texan and apparently loves Whataburger so much that the withdrawals from having it made him a little dazed and confused at practice.
As a native Texan myself, I can’t blame the man. I get those from time to time myself.
Here are the details from ReignofTroy.com:
“I was just feeling a little dizzy and dazed for a couple of days, I don’t know what exactly was going on,” Jones, who had six carries for 86 yards and his first collegiate touchdown in the Trojans’ opener, said. “I guess I was just a little homesick with the food, like Whataburger and stuff like that.”
That’s right. RoJo 2.0 was homesick for food, particularly of the fried variety.
Presented with California-standard grilled chicken options, Jones did not eat enough and suffered migraines as a result.
“I just got to get me some Whataburger and some Texas BBQ up here.”
If that’s what it takes to keep Jones running the way he ran against the Red Wolves, then we’ve got some suggestions.
Some get this man some Whataburger stat! I gotta admit that I feel a little weak and dazed sometimes when it has been awhile since I have had a Patty Melt from the greatest burger chain ever.
If it means keeping Ronald Jones on the field, Sark better have some Franklin’s and Whataburger mailed out to Cali ASAP!
