Lists With Chris what college programs known for 6-26-25

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Who are the five greatest athletes of all time? Who's
the worst player to ever deliver an iconic sports moment?
Who's the least athletic looking athlete in history. It's time
to rank the best and the worst that sports has
to offer. Let's dive in to lists with Chris.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Here we go with my good friends Craig Stevenson and
Chris Beckham. It is lists with Chris, and we almost
always try to make our categories for lists with Chris
something timely. Not this week. This week is just a
just a topic that I thought of. I came up
with just sitting around thinking about sports, had a bucket
on my head like a like Gomer Pyle, and was

(00:50):
doing some thinking and came up with this, which is,
you name a college football program and then tell me
what they're famous for. So think about that. Any program
you can name, but it could be It could be
because of their colors, or somebody coached there, or somebody
played there, or they play a song there, or they

(01:10):
have a famous stadium, or they're in a famous city
or anything. When I say the program, can you make
me say what you're thinking of that it is famous for?
In college football? I thought This was going to be
more consensus before I really started thinking about it, and
now I think we may only come up with like
three or four that we all agree this is what
that college is famous for? But maybe not, maybe not.

(01:33):
Let's get into it, Chris Beckham. You always start us off,
what do you have any college and what is college
football program is most famous for?

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Well, first of all, I love this list. I did
because what I did was I kind of played a
game with myself, the old you know, you say a word,
what's the first thing comes to your mind? And if
something immediately came to mind, I wrote it down and
just say and some of it made sense, and I
would you thought that. But being in the homestead of Georgia,
the first thing comes to my mind, Well, I think

(02:02):
the University of Georgia. I think the hedges. That's the
first thing. Is that just because it's and which really
has nothing to do with football. Then they're at the stadium,
but it is unique, and it's just when I think
of Georgia football, you're between the hedges and so and
if not that unique anymore. George Georgia had the hedges
the first game they ever played at Sandford stadium back

(02:23):
in you know, the twenties or whenever it started. I
don't exactly know, but anyway, but now there are several
other schools in the SEC. They have hedges and they
use them kinds of you know, some people are storm
the field, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. But uh,
but I do think that they are kind of unique. Uh,
that's what people A lot of people associate University.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Of Georgia with Craig, did you have that for Georgia?

Speaker 4 (02:46):
I did?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
You did? Well? I had that. They stole their mascot
from Yale, So you know, I shouldn't have said that,
right the bat if Chris hangs up, This is not
gonna be a good segment. All right, You had the hedges,
so all right, that's pretty good. I actually had. That's
where herschel Walker went. But maybe I'm wrong about that.

(03:08):
Maybe the hedges are more fan.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
So he went there.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
You're right, he did.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
He did? Okay, good, he at least did good. All right, Greg,
what you got?

Speaker 4 (03:21):
All right? Very few college football programs are synonymous with
a loss. Even fewer are synonymous with losing the game
two hundred and twenty two to nothing. But that is
the fate of the Cumberland Bulldogs, Oh, Georgia Tech two
hundred and twenty two to nothing in nineteen sixteen. Obviously,

(03:43):
there were some extenuating circumstances. Cumberland had had it disbanded
its football program the previous year, but they still had
this game schedule with Georgia Tech, so they kind of
put together a you know, a I guess a team
of a wall cons and so forth. But yeah, Georgia

(04:04):
Tech scored sixty three points in the first quarter, sixty
three and the second quarter, fifty four in the third quarter,
and then they called off the dogs in the fourth
quarter and only scored forty two one hundred two to nothing.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yes, if you had the points, it was a bad day.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah. Cumberland had minus forty two yards rushing, they fumbled
nine times and through six interceptions. Georgia Tech did not
complete a pass, they did not attempt to pass. They
had nine hundred and twenty two yards rushing and thirty
two touchdown.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
There you have it, Chris, if you had Cumberland in
a parlay, you'd be like, well, I didn't think they
were going to win. I just had the point.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Yeah, and Randy, and we're talking about this yesterday when
we met at a different event, And I've mentioned that
I was at a conference a couple of years ago
and I met somebody who was a graduate of Cumberland
Universe and there are there are a few different Cumberlands,

(05:08):
kind of like Loyola. There are seven. I said, are
you from two hundred and twenty two to nothing Cumberland?
He said yes, As a matter of fact, I am,
he said. When I was a student there, I wrote
about the one hundredth anniversary of that game. So there
you go.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Wow, did either of you guys have Georgia Tech famous
for winning two hundred and twenty two to nothing?

Speaker 4 (05:26):
No?

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Okay, all right, anyway, I know Chris, you didn't have
them at all, So that's fine. Sure, when you're by it,
that's fine. Okay, okay, good good, All right, here we go.
I've got I got one that may be the most obvious.
I'm just gonna start off with maybe my most obvious one.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish. They are famous for touchdown

(05:49):
Jesus on the library wall. I know they're famous for
a lot of things, but would you agree touchdown Jesus?
When you hear Notre Dame.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, I would say touchdown, Jesus.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Hold the four my first two yeah, four horsemen. Yeah, yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
That's pretty good though.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
There you go, all right, Uh, Chris, now we're rolling.
We got Georgia, we got Cumberland, and we got Notre
Dame out of the way.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
What you got, Chris, Well, there are a couple of others,
But without question, when I say smurf turf, you.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
Think of one school state.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
What I did not know is that obviously they were
the first college stadium to have any kind of field
other than greenfield, and they were the only one for
twenty two years. However, they very smartly, some smart folks
coming Boise. They now hold the trademark. So if you're
a high school or college and you want a field
that's not green, you have to apply for a license

(06:44):
from Boise State allowing you to do that, which is crazy. Yeah,
but there are some eastern Michigan, Coastal Carolina, the till Field,
the stock parks have got purple and gray. Yeah that's
it read yeah, but uh, and then there's a there's
a university in Japan which is a blue field. But

(07:07):
all of them had to get permission from Boise.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
So I'll tell you what. I think you've got the winner.
I don't think there's anybody in the world if you said,
what's Boise football famous for, they wouldn't say the blue field.
I think that is. That is that's a great, great
submission for sure, Craig, what you got?

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Uh, Yeah, I've done with more obscure schools in a
couple of leads, and one I did pick was Montclair
State in New Jersey, probably most famous for being the
alma mater of Sam Mills, the NFL in USFL legendary linebacker. Also,
it is the school where Eric Scavino had to go

(07:47):
on the Sopranos because his father gambled away the uh
the sporting goods store. It couldn't afford to go to
a good university state at local state.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yes, he did put their nose down at Montclair State. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
That and that's where we got those uh that's where
we got those cards to the eventually brought Tony down
right with the with the free flight or whatever through
that Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Yeah, his mother got arrested.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, and it was all related to that whole thing, right,
Montclair State played into that whole storyline. Oh, that's good stuff.
That's really really good stuff. All right, I got one
here for you. Not as positive as that, but uh,
Southern Methodist University s m U. They are famous for
the last team to get the death penalty slash pony Express.

(08:43):
Could I have make that all be one entry? Uh,
they got the death penalty. Nobody sense and I don't
think anybody ever will again get the death penalty. Everybody's
too you know, the money is too tied up to
give somebody the death penalty now. But s MU got
the death penalty and that was the Pony Express and
all that, So I think they are definitely football you
know what it is.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
It's one of those things too that hurts the opposing
team and the conference and all that.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
So they would do it again, you right, for sure?

Speaker 2 (09:10):
All right, we're rolling here. We got some good ones.
So we're doing any any college football program, Chris, where
you say the program and automatically we know what that
program is most famous for. What you got?

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah, and some of these, some of the ones I
had anyway, Uh, there's this there's a person that I
think is the kind of the relationships is so strong
for a few of these that I don't think any
of them is stronger than Ert Russell and Georgia Southern
h Yeah, you know, he just was because he was
such a different guy with such a memorable look with

(09:44):
the bald head and cigarette and all that kind of stuff,
and just a memorable person. But also that they did
have success that you know, he took them to national
championship after national championship and beautiful legal creed. And again,
I don't know how much of this is outside of Georgia.
I think it's well known, but it may just be
more well known here. Well, certainly it is more well
known here, but I think it's known natally the old
you know, his person that had kind of fit that

(10:07):
place a lot of times, Georgia Dipitts coordinator. So yeah,
we do you think Erka Russell for a long time
you thought of Georgia depense.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
A lot of people still do, Chris. We're in a
Sunbolt town, So not only do we know about Erk Russell,
but we know about riding on a school bus and
that guy there guzzling beer on the way to the
game on top of that school bus. The team was
right in to the game, So yeah, we know about
Georgia Southern for sure.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Yeah, this is one. I'm going to a big time
school here, and I would say University of Michigan is
known primarily for the Big House, the largest on campus
stadium in college football. Seats one hundred and ten thousand,
and it ends in a one. I didn't look up
the exact number, but I know they keep one seat

(10:53):
open for Fritz Chrysler, the former athletic directors, so they
have an extra one seat.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
They're also famous for that helmet.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
What do you think Chris Wing helmet? Yeah, so Delaware
has that too, though.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah they do, kidding they do.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
But other people, other people have.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Oh that's good stuff. All right, here we go. This
may or may not be what this school, major school
is most famous for, but I still wanted to play
the clip anyway.

Speaker 6 (11:29):
Watch this, folks, watch your ability to roll which he
hits the ground. Nice roll, that's what they teach you
in jiu jitsu. Joel, you got rolls. Geez, use your shoulders.
Hopefully nobody was heard, including the horses. It was a
nasty spill, young ladies falling off the wagon.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
There you go. That is the Oklahoma Boomer schooner. Maybe
not the most famous for the wreck which I always
enjoy boomers going to wreck. But the Bloomer Scooner with Oklahoma.
I don't know if it's what they're most famous for,
but it's what I think of.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
It was sooner, schooner, whatever it was, whatever it was,
it's so famous.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
I just want to play the clip. I just want
to play the play anyway. Oklahoma, they've wrecked that thing.
They've also got it stuck in the blood.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
Had a fifteen year old penalty at the Orange Bowl first. Yes,
being on the field too late.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yes, yeah, absolutely, So there you go. That's what I got.
Famous crashes, all right, Doug Chris, what'd you go?

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, I'll go with I'll go with the University of
Oregon Ducks. And of course crazy uniforms.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
They got great teams. But when I think of Orgon,
I think of the three hundred and eighty four possible
combinations of you know, jerseys, helmet, sox, shoes, your pants,
the whole nine yards, and you know, that's it's all
of the matters of taste. Young people love it, you know,
more traditional lists they don't like it. All their previous

(13:08):
uniforms were pretty future. I mean they were. They always
said yellow helmets, yellow pants, and either you know, green
or white jersey, depend on their home or away and
they were terrible. But uh, some of these combinations are
pretty bad too. But you know that's what the kids like.
As I like to say.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
So, you know, I had and I think we could
tie it in here, but I had that Oregon is
the Nike school, but I think we could. I think
we can make it all one entry, right.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
That's why. Yeah, they started doing those uniforms because of Nike,
because it's kind of the they were the test case.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
But if you can put those two together, then that's
an easy answer. You know, nobody's gonna say anything other
than that. So yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Great taking of the uniforms. LSU famous for white jerseys
and night games at home, you know, almost to the
exclusion of anything else. They you know, will throw a
fit if somebody doesn't let them wear their white jerseys
at home and they have to play a day game
like everybody else in the entire world. They occasionally have

(14:10):
to play a day game and they complain about it,
but that's what they're meant for.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, I've done drunk fans, but yeah, that kind of
a yeah, that's one of those you.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
Know, we did that lest a couple of years ago.
I believe I heard that or whatever. That would be
an entry for that is LSU fans like to drink,
And every time ESPN has one of their games, they'll
show these you know, alcoholics just going nuts all over
the place, and it's like, why are we glorifying that?

(14:39):
You know LSU fans do like to drink, Yes, they
do anyway.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Our friend Jake Train said, the LSU fan their blood
type is jack and coke.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
So and because of more night games, you get more
time to drink. Ale game base, it all kind of
works together.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
All that.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Well, you I'm gonna follow up with uniforms. I'm gonna say, uh,
the Penn State and Nittany Lions, they are famous for
playing uniforms, playing uniforms, I mean as much as Oregon
is famous for the gaudy uniforms. Penn State very famous
for completely plane uniforms. Penn State. There are other things
like a lot of these are famous for other things.

(15:21):
But Paturno for sure, Unfortunately Sam Dusky, But uh, I'm
going playing uniforms for Penn State, all right, Chris, We're
doing any college football program and what they are famous for,
regardless of what it is. It could be just that
the player play there. Whatever it is, what you got.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Chris, Well, not exactly uniforms. And I'm not trying to
throw shade, but when I say the word George.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
You know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
You as far as one for a lot of certainly
Urban Meyer had more. CF. Spurrier is Florida, he went there,
he played. I mean, he's the guy. And I think
of you know, the fun and Gun and Danny wirfl
and blah blah blah. But I think of George. That's
why I think of that. Hope Famn, that's that's just me,

(16:11):
a Georgia guy. I get it. I'm biased, but I'm
just saying that is so good. You don't think of
anybody else when I say the word, that's exactly what
you're thinking about.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
That's so good, that's so good. Great.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Yeah, I'm going to even more old school than Georgia
Tech Cumberland. I'm gonna go back to eighteen ninety nine.
The Swanee Tigers famously won five games in six days.
They went on a ten day twenty five hundred mile
train trip. They had five shutout wins over Texas in Austin, Texas,

(16:47):
A and M in Houston, Tulane in New Orleans, LSU
and Baton Rouge, and Oldness in Memphis. Grant lo Rice
called them the most durable football team I ever saw.
So there you go. And the the last the epilogue
is they won five games in six days, and on
the seventh day they rested, and.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
On the eight day they made the mistake of getting
out of the sec. Yes, Chris, as a guy who
lives in Georgia, I want to ask you if I
introduced South Alabama to this list South Alabama football. I'm
more interested here what you say than what Craig would say. Chris,
what do you say South Alabama football?

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Uh? So, again, the first thing that fought to my
mind and a little bit because my own bath, But
the first thing I think of is Joey Jones. Just
I was such a big fan of Jeory Jones a
University of Alabama, and I remember when you know, I
wouldn't over there and don't remember details, but I remember
when South Alabama's going to start a programming then named
Joey Jones. I thought, oh hey, now now I knew

(17:53):
you know something about it, and so they've done a
lot of great things since then. But for me, that's
the first time I think.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Of See, I was thinking Craig. I was thinking, maybe
it's the Uh, it's it's where major Apple White coaches.
What do you say, Craig is somebody who's around it
all the time.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Uh. Yeah, they you know, they have the number five jersey,
traditional kind of a thing. You know, they don't have
a ton of tradition, but.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
They have the thing. They have the they have the
field where the senior balls played. You know, they have
a nice stadium where the senior balls played and the
bowl games played.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
When did the start was early two thousands? I just
don't remember.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
South album football two thousand and nine.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, first, okay, okay, and we.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Eazed into it. Weazed into it. I mean the schedule
early on was was not great, was not great, but
you know that's that's the way they want to do it. Anyway,
I thought that would be interesting of somebody who's not
from here. So Chris says, Joey Jones was the coach.
Interesting from a guy from the state of Georgia. All right,
here we Go. I got the first one where this
is one that it's famous because of somebody who played there.

(18:55):
And you say the player when I say San Diego State, Kawhi,
Oh not this basketball?

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Is that I know that you're featuring for Marshall Fault. Yeah,
I'm trying to think of somebody else. I couldn't think.

Speaker 5 (19:14):
Ye, the talk, it's Marshall Funk, San Diego State, that's
where Marshall Funk played. Yes, that's our first one of
the program is famous because a guy played there.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
That's what I got. All right, Chris, it's back to you.
Uh any college football program football not Kawhi football and
what they're.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Famous for, well, along the same lines now, And it
may be different because you guys are closer, But for me,
the player that's most identified with the school was Brett
Barber at Southern Miss. I mean, I don't know, it
would take me a while to think of another player,
but I mean that he was just I mean the
whole Oh yeah, I mean well, no, I mean I
know what the players, but uh, I mean that would

(20:00):
have been like Leary Bird who's coming in second. You know,
he was just all that so easily. I think the
guy who's most identifiable are one of them with his
school Yep.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yeah, I agree with that. I'm gonna this tool is
famous for a negative reason also, and that is UAD
because they killed the program the twenty fourteen season. They
shut him down for two years, and obviously they came
back into that seventeen and had a great deal of
success for a few years before Bill Clark left and

(20:36):
Trent Dilford took over, and they had been really bad
the last couple of years. But you know the fact
that the death and rebirth of UAB football is definitely
in one of the more memorable stories of the last
decade or so.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Well, I can out negative view and I will do
it here, and I hate to do it because this
is a serious one. But the Marshall thundering Herd, Yeah, yeah,
famous for a plane crash or Matthew McConaughey or all that. So,
Matthew McConaughey was the coach there, but Marshall famous for
a plane crash. I mean, hate to say it.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
I actually went up there a couple of years ago
during the summer and went out to the even went
out to the side of the plane crash and it's
really interesting. It's just kind of up on the hill,
you know.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
I mean they're famous for other stuff too. You know,
both of you guys could name and I could a
bunch of other stuffy Yeah, Randy Moss for sure, but
yeah that you know, not on the same level of that.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Is right now, without a question. They make a movie
about Jim Dinmond to be moved back to the plane crash.
I mean, I mean you know that.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
That is definitely no question. I love it.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Hello, Chris, So again, I don't want people to, you know,
trying to help me down at your station if they
hear when I say this, But yeah, Alabama immediately to
me is Nick Saban And listen, I grew in the
seventy eighties. I mean, and I know it's Bear Bryant School,
and I was a huge Alabama fangling up and I

(22:05):
know in my you know, family over there, everything role side,
and so to think of anything but Bear Bryant is
still a little bit strange. But there's no question to me,
it's it's you know, Alabia football, Nick David immediately, so success,
championships all that, and so again, I don't know if
that's Blacks to be over there or now more people

(22:26):
would say, yeah, that's probably true.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
I don't know, yeah now, And I mean I was
going to cop out and like say, you know, home
of the two best college football coaches ever, you could
put them together, but yeah, you're at is probably Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
This is another one that is synonymous with one person,
not only because of the success he had there, but
because he really put him on the map. And that's
Florida State with Bobby Bouten. Yeah, yeah, Bobby Bowden is
Florida State football probably more than any coach anywhere in history.
I mean maybe Paterno and Penn State would be the
other one you would argue. And some of the smaller

(23:00):
schools of course, but uh, you know, like John Gagly
already at Saint John, or.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
You stole my next one. I'm gonna go with a
single play. How about this Boston College Eagles Doug Flute
beat Miami.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
Right.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
When you hear Boston College, you think Doug Flutie. But
when you think Doug Flude, do you think the hell
Mary right against Miami. So that one play, I think
is what Boston College football is known for, which is
kind of sad, I would say, but not that it's
Doug flute because he was a great one. But uh,
Doug Flutie and the miracle to beat Miami. So there

(23:40):
you go.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
I think I think I told the story real quick before.
But my system seemed in Boston is when Matt Ryan
had Boston Gods like third in the country, and I said,
you know that's got going crazy at there. She said,
nobody cares. It's the Patriots and the Bruins and Red
Sox and there fast page five nobody.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yes, yeah. And the bean Cup if you got done
that far, Yes.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
A bean pot cup cut yeah, yeah, it's one.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Of the whatever it is, you win some beans. If
you want a hockey game, college hockey game, yeah, yes,
Boston University and Boston College. I think Chris your next,
what you got?

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Well, I'm gonna say this, but they used to say
maybe before the last ten or fifteen years, but this
is synonymous for certain people. The University of Hawaii is
sunonymous with late night bedding on the rock. They say
tough day Hawaii is always kicking off. Now they advertise it.

(24:40):
Back in the Give Me the Greek days, they would
just say, well, some people are looking forward to and
living at the night kickoff.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
You know, I didn't even know where you were going there,
cheating rests.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
That's yeah. Yeah, get even on the rock.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, like certain people not feel Yeah, exactly exactly.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
Yeah. If there's another school that's famous for one play
along with Boston College, I would say col Oh play
to beat Stanford in uh in nineteen eighty two, the
multilateral kickoff return on the last play of the game. Yeah,
known as the play. I would say, yeah, it's definitely.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah for cow I threw down kind of weirdness, you know,
Aaron Rodgers, Mark Shawn leads. That's how wait, Berkeley, the
whole thing to play kind of feeds into it. Just
that's just a weird vibe from cal This is unlike
you buy the yl Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
I agree. I got one another one here that I
believe is negative. You may not, but I'm going, uh
the Texas A and m Aggie's and they're all male
cheerleaders and they do the yell practice.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Yeah, yell practice that was the thing.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the same thing. I mean, yell
practice that it's all guys, and I mean, I just
I don't think that's right. I don't think that's how
it's to work. I don't think that's not what you're
supposed to do. But uh, that's different, man, that's different.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
You're absolutely right because you say, you know that you
have male chilliaders. You mean like Texas A and M.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. Hey, and you can have male
cheerleaders to supplement your female cheerleaders. You know. I'm fine
with that school, Yeah, I'm okay with that. But these guys,
this is a different breed. Man, So I'm going to
TEXTA and now the yell leader, right too.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yeah, that whole thing. Yeah, weird and different.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Man.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yeah, that's not right. It's not right, all right, Uh, Chris,
what you got?

Speaker 3 (26:40):
You know, they tried to kind of change this over
the last few years and very unsuccessfully. But man, when
I think of Wisconsin football, I think about a bunch
of three hundred and twenty pound honky offensive lineman I mean,
and some boozing for I mean, that's just Wisconsin. They
tried to not throw it and all this man get
very operads back there, give it Ron Day behind a
bunch of big hogs up front. I mean that they

(27:01):
are more so anonymous with that kind of play, I
think than anything else. So, uh, don't get away from it.
Embrace it.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Well I had jump around the song they play you
didn't you don't want to go to.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
That's part of the two camp round for sure. Yeah,
that's part of it.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
But well, that's very different. They're runing Dynamite thirty every play.
I mean, dude, they're doing jump around House of Pain.
You can't luck the two together, Chris, that's not fair.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
I kind of do. And that's the whole part of
the atmosphere. You can jump around and still.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Jump around and run the dive. No, I don't think
that's but it's two good entries regardless, But it's not
the same thing, Greg, what't.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
You think, Well, if one school, at least in this
part of the country is synonymous with losing it as
Vanderbilt Built is an original member of the SEC and
has never won a conference championship. M you know, they
had some good moments obviously last year. You know, they
beat Alabama, beat Auburn and had some good teams with

(28:01):
Jay Cutler, Era had some good teams in the early eighties.
We're good, way way back. They have never won the SEC.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Well, we've done Alabama, we've done South Alabama. We definitely
need to do Auburn. And I will just say I
feel pretty good about this. If you're talking about people
around the country in all ages, I think Auburn football
is known as the place where Bo Jackson played y'a
with me on that or would you have a different answer.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
I would say, well, I don't know. I mean, yeah,
it's definitely there. Uh you know, rolling Tumor's corner. Yeah, one,
the kick six I.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Think are famous.

Speaker 4 (28:42):
Those are very famous history.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
That bird flying down?

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Fous that bird, that bird flying down or you really
brought it to like Chris Fighting Town. I think it's
a little more majestic than that, but yeah we are.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
So what yeah bird flying down?

Speaker 2 (29:04):
You're talking about the majestic flight of of the symbol
of our entire country, an eagle. Yeah. Yeah, that's what
they do. Yeah, so also known as that bird flying down.
So yeah, you know, the the kick six did lead
like the national news, like not sports but the national
like real news. So even if you're not a sports fan,

(29:24):
you would have been like, I don't know if you'd
still remember it after all this time, but you were
aware of it, that's for sure. When the kick six happened.
It was the lead story on the national news. So
that's pretty that's pretty good. That is pretty good. But
I still think it's where bo Jackson went. But you know,
we could argue about it, Chris, who what you got?

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Well? And and uh this is a little bit part
of Alburn as well. But uh, I just think of Tennessee.
I just think of orange and every I mean it's
that's That's the one thing. I don't think a rocky Top.
I just think of the color of orange. It is
so blatantly everywhere there. I just they have great Peyton
Manning and you know, all that stuff is all part

(30:04):
of it, but it's the big orange. Just that's Tennessee
and uh more so Clinton, more so more soon Syracuse.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
This was Tennessee to me, that's a that's I did.
I was thinking, maybe is it is it Peyton Manning School.
But yeah, they're very orange.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
Rocky top, rocky top, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah, that bluetick Hound all that stuff. But uh but yeah,
just orange encompasses all of it. Probably, Craig, what you think?

Speaker 4 (30:31):
Uh my next one, this is kind of a bygone era,
but it was super famous for this for a long time.
Uh and that is usc for being tailback US slash
student body right with the play. They always they just
run the ball like crazy, and they had all those
great backs and O. J. Simpson and Anthony Davis and

(30:53):
Charles White and uh whoever else up to the seventies
and into the markets Allen, you know on up to
the seventies and eighties.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
So that's Sam Cunningham in Alabama.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
I was trying to think of the one who Ricky
Bell was.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah, yeah, yep, that's good. That's for sure. I will
stick in the SEC and I think you guys will
not disagree with this. I think at this point Mississippi
State is famous for that's where Dak Prescott played. I think.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
I was going to say the cow bell.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Okay, this is interesting because I think in the Southeast,
I think cow bell is going to get the most
the most answers, for sure. And I think if you
go nationally, people just don't know about the cow bells.
I don't think, but maybe they do, but cow bells
could certainly be it as well. I went with Dak.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
Press that clip of Jerry Clow we're talking about playing.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
That needs to be the answer. Yeah, that's good, that's good, Chris,
what you got we're doing the college football programs, what
they're most famous for.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
Well, this applies to a couple in Randy as one
of your favorites. But when I think of air Force,
well I think of that D Dallas running that option
made you'd good for Navy schools run the option. But
to me, air Force that is just that's That's the
only thing I'm knowing for is yeah, that didn't change
any year. That's what they're going to do.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Can I give a shout out to bow Morgan as well?
I mean I know D Dallas, but Bou Morgan was
another guy who was a master Yep, that's good, Greig.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
Rutgers is kind of famous for being the participant in
the first college football game, member against Princeton in eighteen
sixty nine. Also, it is another Soprano's reference. It is
the school that Jackie April junior flumped out of. That

(32:54):
was fun and it was the alma monter of James Gandalfinio.
Yeah all that, yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Oh man, that was that was a tough break when
he flunked out of Rutgers. But as they say around Rutgers,
I'd rather flunk out of Rutgers than graduate from Montclair State.
So you know, oh yeah, that's a good one. That
is definitely a good one. Uh what do you think

(33:22):
about when I say Oklahoma State, Oklahoma State? I think
there are two choices. Oh he's a I had tea
boom pickings. But uh, you could also say the whole
combo of Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
But now, yeah and Mikedy, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
I know, yeah, exactly exactly, but yeah, Chris Woo, I'm
a man, I'm Mike Gundhy, So you know.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Maybe it actually and losing to South Alabama.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
There we go exactly getting blown out by South Alabama. Yeah, yeah,
all right, Hey Chris, what you got?

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Well, the Iowa, especially lately the whole you know, tradition
with the children's hospital, and that's that's touching and and
a good choice. But the stand up tight end has
been there a lot longer, and I think I think
that crazy to stand up tidy. And they run and
they'll go nine to three every year. They never going
to win ten, but they never win five.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
So I think.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
They're Yeah, and nepotism, how about nepotism with that offensive coordinator?
But listen, guys, this whole thing with Kinnick Stadium and
the and the children's hospital. I mean, we do enough negative.
Can we not be positive here? That is an awesome
tradition they do at Iowa.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Oh it is going on that long. That's all I'm saying.
I mean, that's that's understanding.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
But Chris, even the stand up tight end waves to
the kids up there watching the game. I mean, this
is one of the great editions. That's new, but it's
one of the great traditions in athletics in America. Wave
into those six cost kids in the hospital if I
was I am. And by the way, the opposing team

(35:12):
joins in too, and the fans, so that that's what
makes it cool.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
Speaking of great traditions, this is one. And they are
certainly famous for other things because they have won a
lot of national championships and had a lot of Heisman
Trophy winners over the years. But how about dotting the
eye at Ohio State that she's a senior member of
the band to come out and dot the I in
the script Ohio during the pregame show at the last

(35:39):
game of the season.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
And sometimes it's like, uh, you know, it's like Jack
Nicholas or something like that, right, don't they can't you
somehow be a celebrity in dot the Ie or.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Something could be?

Speaker 3 (35:49):
Yeah, I think has done it. I don't know how
often they do it.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Yeah, I think.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
I've seen that.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
I went I covered to Alabama and Ohio State in
the Citrus Bowl in nineteen ninety well anywhere course nineteen
ninety five, and got to see that in person. That's
really cool.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Yeah, it before how long before we get a five
star recruit get to dot the I that that would
be sad? That would be I don't want to see it.
Probably yeah, good, will be, will be? How about Uh,
I've got the I've got Colorado the Buffalo. Now, I

(36:24):
originally would have said, it's the fact that they run
that buffalo onto the field, that live buffalo in danger
everybody's lives. Would you now say that it's Dion Sanders already?
What do you think? Yeah, you think it's Dion, not
the not the live buffalo, Ralfie. No, Yeah, no, it's it,
probably is, It probably is already, all right, Chris, Uh,

(36:47):
what's your best?

Speaker 3 (36:47):
What's the best you got left? North Texas? In the
fact there of the mean green that's the only thing
I know about North Texas so named after Joe Green.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
So yeah, that's a great one. No, I think that
is really yeah for sure great.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
Uh yeah, my last one I got. You know you
mentioned Peyton Manning with Tennessee earlier. I would say Ole
mess is definitely known for Archie Manning and the Manning family,
you know, Eli and Cooper and so on. But Archie Manning,
of course, for many years was synonymous. That's good.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
All right, Let's pick a winner before I give you
my last one, because it's not going to qualify as
the winner. So we've got Marshall the whole. We are
Marshall thing Boise with the blue Field. I think North
Texas is pretty darn good too, tell you the truth.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
I ain't heard a better one than Cumberland. I mean,
I don't know anything else about Cumberland except for two
twenty two. I can guarantee you that is a good one.
I didn't have on my list.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
That was very good.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
All right, we can go with that. We will not
allow this one to be the winner. But I got
a song to take you out, and this one certainly
identified this with the Virginia Tech Hokies. They've got the
best stadium entrance for their players. Metallica Inner Sandman. They're
known for that. So this upstage Bruce Smith or whoever
else has played there. Michael Vick, this is I'm gonna

(38:03):
take you out Great Tradition or Virginia Tech for Chris
Beckham and Craig Stevenson. I'm Randy Kennedy. This is Listen
with Chris and Metallica in honor of Virginia Tech on
Sports Talk.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
Hmm hmmm hm.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
H ros the Daple d
