Jalen Anthony Rose fails to answer a simple question
It’s quite surprising that the NBA veteran who earned fame with his distinctive performance and extraordinary analysis was not able to answer this simple question. Although he argued the question to be tough, it is the fans after all who decide.
During the interview, he was asked about the top five largest college football stadiums. While he should be credited for giving two correct answers: The Big House as the top one and Ohio State as the third largest, he was not able to answer the rest of the three.
The host named the other three locations as Texas A&M, Penn State, and LSU. Did you know all the answers?
