ESPN college football analyst Booger McFarland was extremely honest about his favorite college football bowl game memory.
During halftime of the Pop-Tarts Bowl, McFarland was asked about his favorite bowl memory.
McFarland, who played college football at LSU, admitted to using his college bowl per diem of $987 at a “fine establishment” that had some good lemon pepper wings, which is a reference to Atlanta’s infamous Magic City strip club.
“Peach Bowl in Atlanta. 1st time getting per diem $987, went to one nice establishment and I gave it all away. They had some good wings tho. Me. Lou Williams have something in common”
