Speaker 1 (02:37):
Uh yeah, in Malibu, so he didn't have to go
too far down in Mission V.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Dude with it, just walking on the beach with a
blanket on his on his shoulders and he's supposed to
be in a dark roll.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
McConaughey likes to do that too, you know. You know,
McConaughey gets out to uh he used to be in
Malibu doing push ups and stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So when he puts up his uh his uh that
tarnessed burnt orange jacket that don't hate on that. That
thing is weathered.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Don't hate on McConaughey on the Texas sideline when you've
got Phil Knight looking like a frog on the sideline
of your guys games. Okay, we're gonna talk about Oregon
in the next segment. I want to talk about Oregon.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So uh so quick quick Phil Knight story when when
when I was there, I saw him and he wears
the same damn thing all the time. It's a yeah,
it's a black blazer, white shirt.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Puc Asi madrashod behind him.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
And some blue jeans and I remember asking him. I
was like, dude, you're a billionaire. Why do you wear
the same thing every day? And and he was like, dude,
I have a closet full of the exact same thing,
so I don't have to figure out what I'm gonna wear.
This is my uniform.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
You think he wouldn't have access to all the stupid
stuff the Nike makes. Get in some weird factories from
Chinese child putting together or in Sri Lanka. Anyway, go
docs right always, oh, all right, it is time we're
gonna talk some college.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well, it's easier to go ducks than fight on right now.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
There's no doubt about that. See the contract that Lincoln
Riley has, there's no way out from under that. Now
I'll out, I will put you out. This is a
flip top story of the All right, forget that your
organ Duncks got blasted. Whoa and they're one See what
I mean? They did yes to Ohio State and they
(04:28):
might have lost to him too in the first game.
If Will Howard didn't slide down.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
On nope, no sorry.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
But overall, how did you feel about the twelve team
college football playoff? After one year? It didn't rate as
well as maybe they thought it would. But some of
the stuff was pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
No, I love the fact that the season was better
like that there were more games that actually mattered. Yeah,
that as you got toward the end of the season,
it's not just the top six or top eight teams
that you were either hoping to lose or not to lose.
Now you actually had like a Colorado BYU game at
the end of the end of the year actually matter,
(05:04):
or the Arizona State games and you know, like the
Texas Texas A and M game at the end of
the season actually matter to both teams. So that was
the thing that I enjoyed about it the most. But
I was never a fan of twelve teams anyway. I
thought it should be eight or sixteen because I'm not
a fan of buys. And then it also worked out
that all the teams that had buys lost.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, and you know, in the in the pro level,
like the one thing that and you're a pro athlete.
And I don't like to say what pro athletes are
like to pro athletes because it's insulting. But the one
thing that always stands out to me in the difference
between college and pro football especially is that once these
guys are into pros home field advantage, stuff like that.
(05:47):
It doesn't affect you as much. These guys go out
and play when you're in college and you're freaked out
and the crowd can take it out of you.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yes, and it's like finals week.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Right and all that little stuff. But the one thing
that they can't and the pro have figured that part
of it out right. They figured out how to filter
that out and how to be professional through stuff like that.
That kind of adversity. One kind of adversity that the
pros can't figure out and that people still argue about,
is that should we have a bye week, should we
rest our players? Will we be rusty? The rest versus
(06:16):
rust thing. So if the pros can't figure it out,
god knows, it's college teams. I'm just every team that
had to buy came out started slow, and it came
out rushed.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And it's funny because all the coaches that I've talked
to this offseason, either on camera or privately, all of
them have the same desire for the upcoming you know,
college football when it goes to when it starts in
twenty twenty six, when the expansion of the playoff is
probably going to happen again. They all want the season
(06:47):
to start a week or two early and then be
done on January first because of the transfer portal, because
then kids can get in get in school, and you're
not having somebody playing on January twentieth, and then the
portal opens up for them, but then they can't get
into school because school started three weeks ago and your
past the drop date for classes. It's hard to have
(07:08):
universal rules when every school is so different. It's hard
to make Stanford and Texas A and M fit in
the same bowl. And that's been college football. And if
you're done by January first, then that's gonna make it
a lot. It's gonna be a lot more continuity for everybody,
and then probably making one transfer portal window.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You know, it's a bigger conversation, and we talk about
it all the time. And obviously you've been traveling around
talking to all these different coaches and doing these interviews,
and there is no better perspective on a program than
going into their building for sure and walking around and
just feeling what the vibes are. It takes you if
you're a football person, doing that brings you to such
(07:49):
a place of understanding. Yes, and I know what you
talk about with these guys, because I have the same
conversations when I meet with coaches, which is how you
handling all this rapid change? You know, the way the
sport is is totally different than the sport that we
all grew up in and have been working in as
adults for quite some time. Do you like And basically
(08:13):
it's because of one thing. The TV networks have made
so much money for college sports. There's nowhere to hide
the money anymore. It's all out in front, and we
have all these problems because of it, but they're not
problems that didn't exist before. Do you like the direction
the sport is taking? Yes?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
And no. The one thing I hate more than anything,
I hate it more than I hate it with the
power of a thousand suns. To use the Petro's line.
And by the way, I have stolen that so many
times that that people actually think that I'm the person
who started.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
To stop saying it. I'm just I was like, really,
didn't make that up? Done?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
So it is the thing I hate the most of
scheduling and.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
The idea continuity.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well that and you have coaches, maybe one down down
the street that I know this isn't going to earn
me any any favors because I'm trying to get an
interview with Lincoln. But I when he said we got
to start scheduling for a national championship and even considered
taking Notre Dame off of USC schedule, I'm like, what
(09:17):
are you doing?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You're not even a USC guy. But you know that
that you know how egregious that is to us? Yes,
it is.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
It's tone deaf almost to what is what the spirit
of college football is? You get twelve games, twelve opportunities
all year. Why are we allowing teams to schedule three
or four non competitive games? Yes, I'm I'm a fan.
Everybody should be playing ten now Power four games. You
(09:47):
can play one FCS team from your state the way
you're putting money into your own state, and then one
game of your choosing. But the idea that you have.
You know, Ohio State who won the National Chiefchampionship this year, Yes,
they had to play the Big ten, tough schedule, but
then you got so that's nine games, and then you
play three three games where nobody can even possibly beat you.
(10:11):
You're not even playing a Power five game. And then
with Power four this year and then the year before
when Michigan won exact same type of schedule. It is gross.
It is discussing.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
The one thing that doesn't bother me as much is
what they're scheduling is as opposed.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
To the sec Oh god, yes, it's the cupcake in
November when you play Mercer, when everybody else is at
each other's throat, because it manipulates the rankings, right, because
other teams who are ranked ten, twelve, fifteen, twenty are
playing each other and then they're ranked around the same thing.
And then one of those two teams has to lose,
(10:49):
and then the one that loses.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Oh my god, see look look at the league. They
just cannibalize themselves while you play Mercer, you play Citadel,
you play you know, DeVry, and then you end up
moving up the rankings because you lost less.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So if we don't have a different amount of conference games,
if we don't have a cupcake in November, if we
have that continuity, we don't need a committee, right, like
the closer, I hate the committee. Why a committee is
the worst thing ever. A committee will get you nowhere
ever in life, ever, committee it will make It's just
(11:28):
a bunch of a bunch of athletic directors sitting there
drinking ice tea a ritz Carlton watching TV.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
So then how should we design at.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Florida State so you can find a sexier matchup that
you like better because network control, Well, that's what happens
when you poke it mild in. So then who should
choose put it into a computer again?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
No, hell no.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
If there's sex team teams, I don't care. Did your
twelve teams? I don't care?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Hold on, let me let let me pull this up
because this is one of the things that bugs the
hell out of me is the because when you plug
it into a computer, somebody has to put in.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
See computer more than Kandy Rice and Dan Guerrero.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I can understand why you might say say that, but
let me pull this up because it is frustrating when
you have like the ESPN FPI rankings and you're like,
how the hell did you get this? Okay, so that's
not the computer that isn't the build a better compollhunter?
(12:24):
Guess who was fourth? So so it was Ohio State one,
Texas to Notre Dame three. We can debate about that
or what my broncos no Alabama? All right, forget the computer.
We'll be right back with more.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
George Reister, the Great George Reister, hero to the people,
Oregon Duck. We're gonna talk about his Ducks in the
very next segment. The Ducks having a college football renaissance,
while my Trojans renaissance.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
We've been good since I was there bro in ninety nine.
When I showed up, there were a couple years. But
come on, now, come on.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
The Ducks maintaining maintaining greatness though youet to win a title.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yes, ever, yes, will.
Speaker 1 (13:15):

angel City FC. Well, George Reister is here. It's always
a great opportunity to talk about what is his passion
and mine, I believe our shared passion his college football
in this regard West Coast college football, and.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
We sort of right, I mean, Stanford and Cal are
on the West Coast, but they're like East Coast schools.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, but we still support West Coast like what we know,
you know, even if they go all the way to
Duke to play a conference game, we still support them
as something we grew up with, right, Like that's where
we played our road games and all that. So we'll
call this the top story of the day. We did
more general talk, but we're gonna zero in on George's
(14:50):
on the matter because george is alma mater. Is really
is on the top, especially when it comes to the
West Coast. Top story of the Gears went to Oregon
and he's been touring around. We've talked about it with
the Unafraid podcast, talking all kinds of coaches, talked to
Jedfish this week going to see Dan Mullen seat Dabbo
(15:13):
and uh Dan Lanning just went up Dan Lanning.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
When Dan Lanning took the job back in twenty twenty one,
I was extremely skeptic. Joe, Okay, it was interesting, you know,
because no one had known him.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Now, of course you were gonna say it was awesome. Well, okay,
you loved it at the time. I remember, Okay, so
offended it. I did because I made one phone call.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
So he was the defensive coordinator at Georgia the year
they won the Nascaal championship with the Keeley Ringo interception
run with.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
The defensive minded head coach in Kirby Smytt. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So then one of the wide receivers coach on the
team at that time. His name was Cortez Hankton. Cortes
is one of my good friends. We played together in Jacksonville.
He was a free agent the same year I got
drafted in O three. I hit up Tz when he
gets the job, or when I start to hear his name,
and I say, hey, what do you think about Dan?
(16:09):
He was like, dude, he's great, blah blah blah. I said, okay,
So if my son were fortunate enough to be able
to go to Oregon, would you want him to play
for him? Would you stake our friendship on him? And
he said one hundred percent. He was like, he's a
better man than he is a football coach.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
So then I was in, Well, I didn't have cart
Tez's number in my phone in twenty twenty one. I thought,
who's this idiot? And uh? And I also thought, I
bet that full George is gonna love him.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
But what he's done is being really impressive. And you
think about an Oregon I mean, to be the head
coach in Oregon, it's a big deal. They've always had
great coaches and you can't count that many of them.
I mean Rich Brooks Bellatti. I mean those two guys
take up decades and decades, correct, chip, you know. And
then you ran into some trouble where the scow Fridge. Yeah,
(17:02):
well the school felt like a little bit of a
stepping stone after Helfridge.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Ye'll tell you about that hell fridge. And then Willie yep,
Willie Taggart and Mario Cristobal.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
And now Dan Dan Lanning and everybody thought Dan Lanning
and still thinks to some degree that Dan Lanning might
take some other job that won't not now because he's
been paid very handsomely. But what he's done is really impressive,
and they're they're about as close as you could ever
imagine to winning a title, that elusive title that Phil
Knight wants so bad. I mean, he's getting blood transfusions
(17:35):
every day just to keep him alive.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
He's doing the what the guy on who's doing the
documentary that's trying to age backwards all the time he's
doing all this stuff. He's like, I need to see.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
He's gonna die in the luxury suite when they win,
and if they win during his lifetime. It was twenty eleven, George,
when Cam Newton beat the Ducks.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I was there in Arizona was down, Dwyer was down.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Well you know what. It is interesting because the game
got really close, yes, toward the end, but Aubust the
three point game. Auburn dominated the game. It felt like
yecause you couldn't block Nick Barry. Yeah, they couldn't, and
he broke their mesh every single time. I was just
talking about that year because I had done an Arizona
State Oregon game early that year in Tempee.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeh.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
And it was the very first game I'd ever done
or ever remember doing, or ever remember seeing. I mean
this is very early Chip Kelly rocking the world college
football where people started faking injuries. Yes, Vontez and those
guys started faking injuries at Arizona State. And I ran
into some of the guys on their defense at the
bar because I was still young after the game, and
(18:42):
they were like, oh, yeah, we faked all of that.
I was like, God, really, you know and that was like,
you know so, And that's fourteen years ago. But do
you think they were closer in twenty eleven because they
were actually in the game, Well they were last year
with or this last season with Ohio State. I don't,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
I don't think so. And remember they played in the
national championship in twenty fifteen to two against Ohio State. Yes,
and that was the Ezekiel Elliott game when when he
rushed for two forty against Wisconsin and the Big Ten
champ that was jel Frich.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yeah, and then jil Frich had beaten Jameis Winston in
the rows.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yes, I was, yes, I was there. That was ooh
that was a fun that's.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
When the ball flew behind.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yes, yep.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
So you guys have been close, yes, close.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
And this year I actually think that Oregon was the
second best team in the country behind Ohios.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, it was just a bad matchup. And that's one
of the problems I think with the playoff right now
is is that you had all the teams that have
buys start out very, very slow, and you can't start
out slow against Ohio State, bro because that team was
insane and they had already beat him in Eugene. So
I didn't feel like that the score was representative of
necessarily how close the games were, because Ohio State got
(19:51):
to tune up against Tennessee and then oh Man and
then Oregon was off for twenty six days.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Now people always talk about, you know, Peyton Manning didn't
win the championship. Yep, it was t Martin the very
next year.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
And now yeah, Dante Moore, Dylan Riel and his pop
gun arm are gone yep, and it's Dante mar Got.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
It used to be in u c l A. There's
a headline going out right right now. Dan Lanning said
it is a true quarterback competition. I'm just saying that's
what that's what the headline says.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Dante mar was not ready when he was at UCLA
under a.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Very very His mom had just gotten diagnosed with cancer
at the same time that and then so he's the
guy you think, yeah, yeah, they're uh in talking to
the players there, he's they're extremely excited about him, extremely excited.
And you know, I know UCLA fans are probably not.
(20:46):
They're probably like, oh watching them, watch them go up
there and wet the bat again. Gone to you to
see what happened first play of the game, and were
you were you calling that game?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Oh yeah. So when he got his first start, I
made the mistake of picking UCLA here on the Oh
my god, well I knew that he was going to struggle.
That well, I was like, he's either going to struggle,
which is the most likely outcome, because it was his
first game, it was on the road, and that in
that particular year, UCLA's non conference was atrocious, and that
was the first year that they had ever played an
(21:17):
FCS team in the regular season. And then he got
his first start at Utah and I remember talking about it.
I said, I don't know if this is gonna go well,
because he's just been playing like cupcake games and was
you know in the opposite line, wouldn't all that great?
First play the game pick six, I was like, whoop.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I love what Orgon does though to support him if
he is their starter. They have great dedication. I mean,
Oregon does what USC should do.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
The roster is.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
They do exactly what SC should do. And they're in
Eugene where no one wants to California. California, like, hey,
come on down. They they develop guys on the O
and D line. Yep, they keep a very big emphasis
on those two sides of the ball. They have a
dedication of the run. The coach has an aggressive nature.
Uh that's pretty crazy. I mean it's hard to root
(22:06):
for Oregon. For me, it's real hard. But they do
what USC should do and they don't have. All they
have is Phil Knight's money and a very nice advocate
in George Reister.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
They don't have They got to kill kill Kenny's and all,
but nothing.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Nike.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Nike is the central like.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
The They are thriving with USC's formula and they're not
in l They don't have la to sell. They got
nothing to sell. Very goes to Springfield. Other than to
go to the Strip.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Club, there are a few NonStop flights to ug It's
the only harder place to get.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
To prop the prop playing, and we hold it be
on the free beer and why.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
There there are only a few places that that play
big time college football that are harder to get to.
That would be Clemson, which is I had to fly
to Atlanta to drive two hours to Clemson.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Poor Penn Statius.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yep. I was gonna say, Penn State is tough to
get to.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Well, I mean are they? Are they playing big time football?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yes, Paul, we were talking about them in the college
football playoff deep in November. It's not my fault. They
lost New Mexico in a game I.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Called well, well, John Well, John Mattier is where now
John Mattier the engineer, Yes he is in all of
home with the offensive coordinat yep, yep. So yeah, so
there are very few places that are harder to get to.
How dare you attack myke Coop's They're not even in
a conference right now, They're not even in the Mountain
West anymore. Again, okay, they still need one more member.
(23:38):
Who are they gonna get They do you understand that
before yewy six? If they do not, somebody over.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I was calling a Washington State Boise State game, which
is a very good game. You got Ashton last year.
That was a great game. They're going into into it
and I'm calling this game, and the topic of all
these lawsuits the Mountain West and the PAC twelve came up,
and I said, I'm just happy in this game that
we're calling a game where the two teams aren't suing
each other. Yes, and that was the truth. So yes,
(24:10):
that's not what I want to talk about. Okay, I
want to talk about Oregon. We don't need to go
into how the mess that is the PAC twelve. It's
not my fault. Phil Knight's not gonna live forever, but
I'm sure his money will go into the university for
a long time. Do you ever see in the next
twenty thirty years another downturn coming to Orgon? I mean,
because hell, fridg you can't even really call that. He
(24:30):
had one bad year and they fired him. I mean
the guy had played for the I mean, yeah, they
lost to that TCU with big play Va. They had
that terrible bowl game, and then they had a bad
year and they fired what a lot of people really
thought was a really good coach and a guy that
deserved respect in Mark Elfort, somebody I know personally. So
when will Oregon ever have another downturn? Ever again with
(24:52):
big ten money and Daddy Phil Knight even in the game,
we're still giving money.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Ever, Yes, Alabama has had downturns, has had down to
Georgia hadn't won a national championship in like what forty
years in between there in between when they won and we.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
With Mark wrecked. He was a great guy, but it
just wasn't.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
He was winning ten games a year and wasn't It
wasn't wasn't working. So I don't believe that there will
be like an extended down period like of you know,
ten years or something. But are you ever going to
have a you know, a stretch where you're you know,
ten games and nine ten games a year? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, probably,
but it may be not for a while because you
(25:32):
have really good coaches there, you know, and they yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Listen Keeddy Dillingham and you don't miss a.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Beat because a lot of people want to be there.
So if you're a top offensive coordinator, if if will
Stein leaves and gets a head coaching job next year.
Dan Lanning now has the pick of the litter because
he can first of all, pay you very very well.
And then the second thing is you're going to get
the top players in in the country. They may end
(26:00):
up with the number one recruiting class in the country,
this in the twenty twenty six class. So you're also
in line for the top coaches in the country. So
if you have the top players, the top coaches in
the entire country, you're going to put a top ten
team on the field every year.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
And who doesn't want to live in Eugene. I love it.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Boo oh, Weather's great all year round. And and and
you know what they say.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I'm sure you alome all those people playing guitar and
dancing in a circle on the towns Square.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Hey what did? What do they say? Right before every
single game? It never rains in Austin Stadium, never rains
in Autson Stadium.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I'm unimpressed a lot of times. We'll be back with

podcast on the iHeartRadio app for your smartphone. We talked
to David Vasse in Tokyo. Got the latest there. Don
McClain ore BFF joined us and George. We have some
textosos as the secret Textoso line is fully operational. You
(28:06):
know I give out my phone number once a year
here on the show, and people criticize the show in
real time.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
The secret text does a fine brought to you by
your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
We make it easy. Why you gotta look like that
on your face? Why do you have to act like
you feel a certain kind of way.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
No, I'm excited to see what the secret an excited stance.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
That's a defensive stance. You got, You've got the you've
got the GM, the NFL GM looking at the combine stance.
Or the dad, the little league dad who's watching his
twelve year old thinking that he's going to be a
huge mawler stance that the arms folded in front, acting
all hard. Uh, this says, uh, oh my god, Dennis
(28:49):
Dodd is retiring. Now you gave me this word as well,
Dennis Dodd. Oh my god, it's Dennis Dodd, a CBS
college football reporter, is retiring.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
When I told you that you were, you were so shocked.
I mean it, it was like it was like finding
out that there were peas on your plate for dinner.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Dennis Dodd is the guy that got my father in
trouble many years ago, back in two thousand and four.
What yeah, Back in four oh five, Dennis Dodd used
to come on my old radio show and USC was
making that big run and they were gonna play Texas
in the Big Game. And Dennis Dodd came out here
and went to my father's restaurant and had dinner and
(29:32):
sat with my dad and talked to my dad and
then talked to a guy named Frank Morton who's the
heir to the Morton Salt Empire and all this, and
they were like, yeah, and the recruits come down here
and they do this, and they do this, and Dennis
DD's like, well, that's technical a illegal.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Oh, don't beat that guy.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yea. He wrote an article about it, even though I
invited him down to my dad's restaurant and pay for
it myself. No, no, and he wrote an article. I
never made a big deal out of it because I
was such a young guy, and you know, my dad
and Frank were kind of stupid. They didn't really they
were minor violations. It wasn't anything that anybody else doesn't do.
It's something Pete Carroll was doing with my dad's restaurant
(30:08):
for years and years. But Dennis Dodd wrote this big
article about it.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
So, so, had you been as deep into the game
as you are now, how would you have handled here?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I mean I would have just attacked Dennis Dodd relentlessly
on our show and brought him to his knees like
we have with others because we don't play very nice.
You know, it's not great to get in an ink
fight with an octopus. You know, there's places we will
go where Dennis Dodd, his bald dad would not go.
But you know, and I'm not a mean spirited guy, no,
but my dad literally got my dad, my poor dad,
(30:43):
Like I don't care, like I don't care if USC's
mad at me, you know that, right, I don't care
if Kyle Whittingham's mad like you know, we do the
job and you break some eggs, I get it. But
my father is a USC guy and he cares.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
What you see, So you get what Lebron is filling
right now.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
No, no, not even close. But but I had sent
Dennis Dodd down there, you know, and and bought him
dinner and all that, and he ends up you know, can't.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Take somebody's dinner. It would be different if you invited
somebody to dinner. In the in the gals of like
trying to bribe them, right, and then they're like no,
but the fact that you just casually nice.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Now, what probably happened was, you know, Dennis Dodd went
down there, had dinner, people got wind in their jaws,
realized that some of the stuff they were talking about
wasn't exactly kosher, and then decided to throw me under
the bus and my family under the bus. But that
is what he did. You got to just he hurt
my family.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
You got to just eat that.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Dennis Dodd hurt my family, and we brought him on
the show past then you know, I'm not one of
those gotta be doesn't because no, no, I do not
and do not make this about Lebron because it always
made me a little like when my dad was doing
the recruiting down at the restaurant with Pete Carroll. We're
talking about like Tim Tebow's being recruited down there, Reggie Liner.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
This is the way businesses, Doe.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
But that was the age of it, right now, Sean Cody,
guys like that, and I remember I would We were
shorthanded oftentimes, and I was, even though doing these same
jobs as I am today, I've really progressed in my life.
I'm doing drive time and doing college football. I would
go down and wait tables all the time, especially on
(32:31):
those nights because we were especially very busy, and I
was always like, ah, you know, I got to put
this bottle under Kiffin and Sark and do all this
and that. Like I always knew that, you know that,
not that we were breaking rules. But I was never
super one hundred percent comfortable with it. I really tried
hard to separate myself from the recruiting part of it
(32:53):
and just wait tables, right, And I did and all that,
So I was never but I never thought Dennis Dodd
was going to blow us up because I sat him
down there to have dinner because he was here in
town for the Rose Bowl Vince Young versus Reggie Busch.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
So and for anybody, and I do understand for the
quote unquote rules of rules crowd right, but people don't
understand what it was actually like prior to N. I
l like, for instance, who's the basketball coach that, oh
Sam Sampson down yes, when he was like I have
(33:27):
parents that that can't come to the tournament, can't afford
prior to NIL, they can't afford to come to the tournament.
They were on the phone crying, like I'll sleep in
my kids room, like I just want to see my camera.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Rick Majeri's got in trouble for ordering pizza to a
hotel room.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Yeah, it's ell. It was sick, dude, it was sick.
So my and and I've never told any about it, Boydy,
this but my parents because I didn't come from money,
and my parents would drive their Pontiac Bonneville from here
up to Oregon and they would actually stay at one
(34:04):
of the coach's houses. Now now mind you, the head
coach had no idea, but they would stay at one
of the assistant coaches houses because getting a hotel would
have been too expensive. Yeah, yes, so so I don't like.
This is why nil is important. This is why kids
having an opportunity to make money is important. Because the
(34:26):
schools who are making millions in buildings, they're not yes
from there, from the TV contracts and everything. They're using
your kid up and you can't even get to a
damn game. That's outrageous. Happy retirement. Oh my god, it's
Dennis Dodd. We'll never forget you here. I get it
on the Petros and Money Show. That's how I used
(34:48):
standing on introm all the time.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
I guess he figured, you know, he came on the
radio so many times when I had my old show
that everything, he could attack my family and it would
just even all out. And I guess it does in
the grand scheme of things. What does it all matter?
He Carrol hates me now anyway, we'll be back. We
got a whole other hour, a great sports talk quick hits,

Saddleback Stay in Mission v a Hole to compete for
a good cause. What it is? Uh, they want a slick, moving,
dancing bear style tight end to come and run some
option routes for them. I don't know if there's a guy, Oh.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I can find one. It is not it is it
is not me. I currently know some NFL players we

few other guys that are Johnny Johnny Munt.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Gets your tickets today at r X three foundation dot com.
And I think Aaron Rodgers honestly is gonna be at that.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Is het he on the beach right now.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Uh yeah, in Malibu, so he didn't have to go
too far down in Mission V.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Dude with it, just walking on the beach with a
blanket on his on his shoulders and he's supposed to
be in a dark roll.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
McConaughey likes to do that too, you know. You know,
McConaughey gets out to uh he used to be in
Malibu doing push ups and stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So when he puts up his uh his uh that
tarnessed burnt orange jacket that don't hate on that. That
thing is weathered.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Don't hate on McConaughey on the Texas sideline when you've
got Phil Knight looking like a frog on the sideline
of your guys games. Okay, we're gonna talk about Oregon
in the next segment. I want to talk about Oregon.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So uh so quick quick Phil Knight story when when
when I was there, I saw him and he wears
the same damn thing all the time. It's a yeah,
it's a black blazer, white shirt.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Puc Asi madrashod behind him.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
And some blue jeans and I remember asking him. I
was like, dude, you're a billionaire. Why do you wear
the same thing every day? And and he was like, dude,
I have a closet full of the exact same thing,
so I don't have to figure out what I'm gonna wear.
This is my uniform.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
You think he wouldn't have access to all the stupid
stuff the Nike makes. Get in some weird factories from
Chinese child putting together or in Sri Lanka. Anyway, go
docs right always, oh, all right, it is time we're
gonna talk some college.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well, it's easier to go ducks than fight on right now.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
There's no doubt about that. See the contract that Lincoln
Riley has, there's no way out from under that. Now
I'll out, I will put you out. This is a
flip top story of the All right, forget that your
organ Duncks got blasted. Whoa and they're one See what
I mean? They did yes to Ohio State and they
(04:28):
might have lost to him too in the first game.
If Will Howard didn't slide down.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
On nope, no sorry.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
But overall, how did you feel about the twelve team
college football playoff? After one year? It didn't rate as
well as maybe they thought it would. But some of
the stuff was pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
No, I love the fact that the season was better
like that there were more games that actually mattered. Yeah,
that as you got toward the end of the season,
it's not just the top six or top eight teams
that you were either hoping to lose or not to lose.
Now you actually had like a Colorado BYU game at
the end of the end of the year actually matter,
(05:04):
or the Arizona State games and you know, like the
Texas Texas A and M game at the end of
the season actually matter to both teams. So that was
the thing that I enjoyed about it the most. But
I was never a fan of twelve teams anyway. I
thought it should be eight or sixteen because I'm not
a fan of buys. And then it also worked out
that all the teams that had buys lost.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, and you know, in the in the pro level,
like the one thing that and you're a pro athlete.
And I don't like to say what pro athletes are
like to pro athletes because it's insulting. But the one
thing that always stands out to me in the difference
between college and pro football especially is that once these
guys are into pros home field advantage, stuff like that.
(05:47):
It doesn't affect you as much. These guys go out
and play when you're in college and you're freaked out
and the crowd can take it out of you.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yes, and it's like finals week.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Right and all that little stuff. But the one thing
that they can't and the pro have figured that part
of it out right. They figured out how to filter
that out and how to be professional through stuff like that.
That kind of adversity. One kind of adversity that the
pros can't figure out and that people still argue about,
is that should we have a bye week, should we
rest our players? Will we be rusty? The rest versus
(06:16):
rust thing. So if the pros can't figure it out,
god knows, it's college teams. I'm just every team that
had to buy came out started slow, and it came
out rushed.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And it's funny because all the coaches that I've talked
to this offseason, either on camera or privately, all of
them have the same desire for the upcoming you know,
college football when it goes to when it starts in
twenty twenty six, when the expansion of the playoff is
probably going to happen again. They all want the season
(06:47):
to start a week or two early and then be
done on January first because of the transfer portal, because
then kids can get in get in school, and you're
not having somebody playing on January twentieth, and then the
portal opens up for them, but then they can't get
into school because school started three weeks ago and your
past the drop date for classes. It's hard to have
(07:08):
universal rules when every school is so different. It's hard
to make Stanford and Texas A and M fit in
the same bowl. And that's been college football. And if
you're done by January first, then that's gonna make it
a lot. It's gonna be a lot more continuity for everybody,
and then probably making one transfer portal window.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You know, it's a bigger conversation, and we talk about
it all the time. And obviously you've been traveling around
talking to all these different coaches and doing these interviews,
and there is no better perspective on a program than
going into their building for sure and walking around and
just feeling what the vibes are. It takes you if
you're a football person, doing that brings you to such
(07:49):
a place of understanding. Yes, and I know what you
talk about with these guys, because I have the same
conversations when I meet with coaches, which is how you
handling all this rapid change? You know, the way the
sport is is totally different than the sport that we
all grew up in and have been working in as
adults for quite some time. Do you like And basically
(08:13):
it's because of one thing. The TV networks have made
so much money for college sports. There's nowhere to hide
the money anymore. It's all out in front, and we
have all these problems because of it, but they're not
problems that didn't exist before. Do you like the direction
the sport is taking? Yes?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
And no. The one thing I hate more than anything,
I hate it more than I hate it with the
power of a thousand suns. To use the Petro's line.
And by the way, I have stolen that so many
times that that people actually think that I'm the person
who started.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
To stop saying it. I'm just I was like, really,
didn't make that up? Done?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
So it is the thing I hate the most of
scheduling and.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
The idea continuity.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well that and you have coaches, maybe one down down
the street that I know this isn't going to earn
me any any favors because I'm trying to get an
interview with Lincoln. But I when he said we got
to start scheduling for a national championship and even considered
taking Notre Dame off of USC schedule, I'm like, what
(09:17):
are you doing?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You're not even a USC guy. But you know that
that you know how egregious that is to us? Yes,
it is.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
It's tone deaf almost to what is what the spirit
of college football is? You get twelve games, twelve opportunities
all year. Why are we allowing teams to schedule three
or four non competitive games? Yes, I'm I'm a fan.
Everybody should be playing ten now Power four games. You
(09:47):
can play one FCS team from your state the way
you're putting money into your own state, and then one
game of your choosing. But the idea that you have.
You know, Ohio State who won the National Chiefchampionship this year, Yes,
they had to play the Big ten, tough schedule, but
then you got so that's nine games, and then you
play three three games where nobody can even possibly beat you.
(10:11):
You're not even playing a Power five game. And then
with Power four this year and then the year before
when Michigan won exact same type of schedule. It is gross.
It is discussing.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
The one thing that doesn't bother me as much is
what they're scheduling is as opposed.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
To the sec Oh god, yes, it's the cupcake in
November when you play Mercer, when everybody else is at
each other's throat, because it manipulates the rankings, right, because
other teams who are ranked ten, twelve, fifteen, twenty are
playing each other and then they're ranked around the same thing.
And then one of those two teams has to lose,
(10:49):
and then the one that loses.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Oh my god, see look look at the league. They
just cannibalize themselves while you play Mercer, you play Citadel,
you play you know, DeVry, and then you end up
moving up the rankings because you lost less.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So if we don't have a different amount of conference games,
if we don't have a cupcake in November, if we
have that continuity, we don't need a committee, right, like
the closer, I hate the committee. Why a committee is
the worst thing ever. A committee will get you nowhere
ever in life, ever, committee it will make It's just
(11:28):
a bunch of a bunch of athletic directors sitting there
drinking ice tea a ritz Carlton watching TV.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
So then how should we design at.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Florida State so you can find a sexier matchup that
you like better because network control, Well, that's what happens
when you poke it mild in. So then who should
choose put it into a computer again?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
No, hell no.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
If there's sex team teams, I don't care. Did your
twelve teams? I don't care?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Hold on, let me let let me pull this up
because this is one of the things that bugs the
hell out of me is the because when you plug
it into a computer, somebody has to put in.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
See computer more than Kandy Rice and Dan Guerrero.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I can understand why you might say say that, but
let me pull this up because it is frustrating when
you have like the ESPN FPI rankings and you're like,
how the hell did you get this? Okay, so that's
not the computer that isn't the build a better compollhunter?
(12:24):
Guess who was fourth? So so it was Ohio State one,
Texas to Notre Dame three. We can debate about that
or what my broncos no Alabama? All right, forget the computer.
We'll be right back with more.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
George Reister, the Great George Reister, hero to the people,
Oregon Duck. We're gonna talk about his Ducks in the

a great opportunity to talk about what is his passion
and mine, I believe our shared passion his college football
in this regard West Coast college football, and.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
We sort of right, I mean, Stanford and Cal are
on the West Coast, but they're like East Coast schools.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, but we still support West Coast like what we know,
you know, even if they go all the way to
Duke to play a conference game, we still support them
as something we grew up with, right, Like that's where
we played our road games and all that. So we'll
call this the top story of the day. We did
more general talk, but we're gonna zero in on George's
(14:50):
on the matter because george is alma mater. Is really
is on the top, especially when it comes to the
West Coast. Top story of the Gears went to Oregon
and he's been touring around. We've talked about it with
the Unafraid podcast, talking all kinds of coaches, talked to
Jedfish this week going to see Dan Mullen seat Dabbo
(15:13):
and uh Dan Lanning just went up Dan Lanning.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
When Dan Lanning took the job back in twenty twenty one,
I was extremely skeptic. Joe, Okay, it was interesting, you know,
because no one had known him.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Now, of course you were gonna say it was awesome. Well, okay,
you loved it at the time. I remember, Okay, so
offended it. I did because I made one phone call.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
So he was the defensive coordinator at Georgia the year
they won the Nascaal championship with the Keeley Ringo interception
run with.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
The defensive minded head coach in Kirby Smytt. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So then one of the wide receivers coach on the
team at that time. His name was Cortez Hankton. Cortes
is one of my good friends. We played together in Jacksonville.
He was a free agent the same year I got
drafted in O three. I hit up Tz when he
gets the job, or when I start to hear his name,
and I say, hey, what do you think about Dan?
(16:09):
He was like, dude, he's great, blah blah blah. I said, okay,
So if my son were fortunate enough to be able
to go to Oregon, would you want him to play
for him? Would you stake our friendship on him? And
he said one hundred percent. He was like, he's a
better man than he is a football coach.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
So then I was in, Well, I didn't have cart
Tez's number in my phone in twenty twenty one. I thought,
who's this idiot? And uh? And I also thought, I
bet that full George is gonna love him.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
But what he's done is being really impressive. And you
think about an Oregon I mean, to be the head
coach in Oregon, it's a big deal. They've always had
great coaches and you can't count that many of them.
I mean Rich Brooks Bellatti. I mean those two guys
take up decades and decades, correct, chip, you know. And
then you ran into some trouble where the scow Fridge. Yeah,
(17:02):
well the school felt like a little bit of a
stepping stone after Helfridge.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Ye'll tell you about that hell fridge. And then Willie yep,
Willie Taggart and Mario Cristobal.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
And now Dan Dan Lanning and everybody thought Dan Lanning
and still thinks to some degree that Dan Lanning might
take some other job that won't not now because he's
been paid very handsomely. But what he's done is really impressive,
and they're they're about as close as you could ever
imagine to winning a title, that elusive title that Phil
Knight wants so bad. I mean, he's getting blood transfusions
(17:35):
every day just to keep him alive.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
He's doing the what the guy on who's doing the
documentary that's trying to age backwards all the time he's
doing all this stuff. He's like, I need to see.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
He's gonna die in the luxury suite when they win,
and if they win during his lifetime. It was twenty eleven, George,
when Cam Newton beat the Ducks.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I was there in Arizona was down, Dwyer was down.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Well you know what. It is interesting because the game
got really close, yes, toward the end, but Aubust the
three point game. Auburn dominated the game. It felt like
yecause you couldn't block Nick Barry. Yeah, they couldn't, and
he broke their mesh every single time. I was just
talking about that year because I had done an Arizona
State Oregon game early that year in Tempee.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeh.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
And it was the very first game I'd ever done
or ever remember doing, or ever remember seeing. I mean
this is very early Chip Kelly rocking the world college
football where people started faking injuries. Yes, Vontez and those
guys started faking injuries at Arizona State. And I ran
into some of the guys on their defense at the
bar because I was still young after the game, and
(18:42):
they were like, oh, yeah, we faked all of that.
I was like, God, really, you know and that was like,
you know so, And that's fourteen years ago. But do
you think they were closer in twenty eleven because they
were actually in the game, Well they were last year
with or this last season with Ohio State. I don't,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
I don't think so. And remember they played in the
national championship in twenty fifteen to two against Ohio State. Yes,
and that was the Ezekiel Elliott game when when he
rushed for two forty against Wisconsin and the Big Ten
champ that was jel Frich.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yeah, and then jil Frich had beaten Jameis Winston in
the rows.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yes, I was, yes, I was there. That was ooh
that was a fun that's.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
When the ball flew behind.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yes, yep.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
So you guys have been close, yes, close.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
And this year I actually think that Oregon was the
second best team in the country behind Ohios.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, it was just a bad matchup. And that's one
of the problems I think with the playoff right now
is is that you had all the teams that have
buys start out very, very slow, and you can't start
out slow against Ohio State, bro because that team was
insane and they had already beat him in Eugene. So
I didn't feel like that the score was representative of
necessarily how close the games were, because Ohio State got
(19:51):
to tune up against Tennessee and then oh Man and
then Oregon was off for twenty six days.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Now people always talk about, you know, Peyton Manning didn't
win the championship. Yep, it was t Martin the very
next year.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
And now yeah, Dante Moore, Dylan Riel and his pop
gun arm are gone yep, and it's Dante mar Got.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
It used to be in u c l A. There's
a headline going out right right now. Dan Lanning said
it is a true quarterback competition. I'm just saying that's
what that's what the headline says.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Dante mar was not ready when he was at UCLA
under a.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Very very His mom had just gotten diagnosed with cancer
at the same time that and then so he's the
guy you think, yeah, yeah, they're uh in talking to
the players there, he's they're extremely excited about him, extremely excited.
And you know, I know UCLA fans are probably not.
(20:46):
They're probably like, oh watching them, watch them go up
there and wet the bat again. Gone to you to
see what happened first play of the game, and were
you were you calling that game?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Oh yeah. So when he got his first start, I
made the mistake of picking UCLA here on the Oh
my god, well I knew that he was going to struggle.
That well, I was like, he's either going to struggle,
which is the most likely outcome, because it was his
first game, it was on the road, and that in
that particular year, UCLA's non conference was atrocious, and that
was the first year that they had ever played an
(21:17):
FCS team in the regular season. And then he got
his first start at Utah and I remember talking about it.
I said, I don't know if this is gonna go well,
because he's just been playing like cupcake games and was
you know in the opposite line, wouldn't all that great?
First play the game pick six, I was like, whoop.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I love what Orgon does though to support him if
he is their starter. They have great dedication. I mean,
Oregon does what USC should do.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
The roster is.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
They do exactly what SC should do. And they're in
Eugene where no one wants to California. California, like, hey,
come on down. They they develop guys on the O
and D line. Yep, they keep a very big emphasis
on those two sides of the ball. They have a
dedication of the run. The coach has an aggressive nature.
Uh that's pretty crazy. I mean it's hard to root
(22:06):
for Oregon. For me, it's real hard. But they do
what USC should do and they don't have. All they
have is Phil Knight's money and a very nice advocate
in George Reister.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
They don't have They got to kill kill Kenny's and all,
but nothing.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Nike.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Nike is the central like.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
The They are thriving with USC's formula and they're not
in l They don't have la to sell. They got
nothing to sell. Very goes to Springfield. Other than to
go to the Strip.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Club, there are a few NonStop flights to ug It's
the only harder place to get.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
To prop the prop playing, and we hold it be
on the free beer and why.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
There there are only a few places that that play
big time college football that are harder to get to.
That would be Clemson, which is I had to fly
to Atlanta to drive two hours to Clemson.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Poor Penn Statius.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yep. I was gonna say, Penn State is tough to
get to.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Well, I mean are they? Are they playing big time football?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yes, Paul, we were talking about them in the college
football playoff deep in November. It's not my fault. They
lost New Mexico in a game I.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Called well, well, John Well, John Mattier is where now
John Mattier the engineer, Yes he is in all of
home with the offensive coordinat yep, yep. So yeah, so
there are very few places that are harder to get to.
How dare you attack myke Coop's They're not even in
a conference right now, They're not even in the Mountain
West anymore. Again, okay, they still need one more member.
(23:38):
Who are they gonna get They do you understand that
before yewy six? If they do not, somebody over.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I was calling a Washington State Boise State game, which
is a very good game. You got Ashton last year.
That was a great game. They're going into into it
and I'm calling this game, and the topic of all
these lawsuits the Mountain West and the PAC twelve came up,
and I said, I'm just happy in this game that
we're calling a game where the two teams aren't suing
each other. Yes, and that was the truth. So yes,
(24:10):
that's not what I want to talk about. Okay, I
want to talk about Oregon. We don't need to go
into how the mess that is the PAC twelve. It's
not my fault. Phil Knight's not gonna live forever, but
I'm sure his money will go into the university for
a long time. Do you ever see in the next
twenty thirty years another downturn coming to Orgon? I mean,
because hell, fridg you can't even really call that. He
(24:30):
had one bad year and they fired him. I mean
the guy had played for the I mean, yeah, they
lost to that TCU with big play Va. They had
that terrible bowl game, and then they had a bad
year and they fired what a lot of people really
thought was a really good coach and a guy that
deserved respect in Mark Elfort, somebody I know personally. So
when will Oregon ever have another downturn? Ever again with
(24:52):
big ten money and Daddy Phil Knight even in the game,
we're still giving money.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Ever, Yes, Alabama has had downturns, has had down to
Georgia hadn't won a national championship in like what forty
years in between there in between when they won and we.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
With Mark wrecked. He was a great guy, but it
just wasn't.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
He was winning ten games a year and wasn't It
wasn't wasn't working. So I don't believe that there will
be like an extended down period like of you know,
ten years or something. But are you ever going to
have a you know, a stretch where you're you know,
ten games and nine ten games a year? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, probably,
but it may be not for a while because you
(25:32):
have really good coaches there, you know, and they yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Listen Keeddy Dillingham and you don't miss a.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Beat because a lot of people want to be there.
So if you're a top offensive coordinator, if if will
Stein leaves and gets a head coaching job next year.
Dan Lanning now has the pick of the litter because
he can first of all, pay you very very well.
And then the second thing is you're going to get
the top players in in the country. They may end
(26:00):
up with the number one recruiting class in the country,
this in the twenty twenty six class. So you're also
in line for the top coaches in the country. So
if you have the top players, the top coaches in
the entire country, you're going to put a top ten
team on the field every year.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
And who doesn't want to live in Eugene. I love it.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Boo oh, Weather's great all year round. And and and
you know what they say.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I'm sure you alome all those people playing guitar and
dancing in a circle on the towns Square.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Hey what did? What do they say? Right before every
single game? It never rains in Austin Stadium, never rains
in Autson Stadium.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I'm unimpressed a lot of times. We'll be back with
Mare the Great George Reister, Ladies and Gentlemen of the
Patrols Bundy Show on a five seventy LA Sports, Your

McClain ore BFF joined us and George. We have some
textosos as the secret Textoso line is fully operational. You
(28:06):
know I give out my phone number once a year
here on the show, and people criticize the show in
real time.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
The secret text does a fine brought to you by
your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
We make it easy. Why you gotta look like that
on your face? Why do you have to act like
you feel a certain kind of way.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
No, I'm excited to see what the secret an excited stance.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
That's a defensive stance. You got, You've got the you've
got the GM, the NFL GM looking at the combine stance.
Or the dad, the little league dad who's watching his
twelve year old thinking that he's going to be a
huge mawler stance that the arms folded in front, acting
all hard. Uh, this says, uh, oh my god, Dennis
(28:49):
Dodd is retiring. Now you gave me this word as well,
Dennis Dodd. Oh my god, it's Dennis Dodd, a CBS
college football reporter, is retiring.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
When I told you that you were, you were so shocked.
I mean it, it was like it was like finding
out that there were peas on your plate for dinner.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Dennis Dodd is the guy that got my father in
trouble many years ago, back in two thousand and four.
What yeah, Back in four oh five, Dennis Dodd used
to come on my old radio show and USC was
making that big run and they were gonna play Texas
in the Big Game. And Dennis Dodd came out here
and went to my father's restaurant and had dinner and
(29:32):
sat with my dad and talked to my dad and
then talked to a guy named Frank Morton who's the
heir to the Morton Salt Empire and all this, and
they were like, yeah, and the recruits come down here
and they do this, and they do this, and Dennis
DD's like, well, that's technical a illegal.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Oh, don't beat that guy.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yea. He wrote an article about it, even though I
invited him down to my dad's restaurant and pay for
it myself. No, no, and he wrote an article. I
never made a big deal out of it because I
was such a young guy, and you know, my dad
and Frank were kind of stupid. They didn't really they
were minor violations. It wasn't anything that anybody else doesn't do.
It's something Pete Carroll was doing with my dad's restaurant
(30:08):
for years and years. But Dennis Dodd wrote this big
article about it.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
So, so, had you been as deep into the game
as you are now, how would you have handled here?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I mean I would have just attacked Dennis Dodd relentlessly
on our show and brought him to his knees like
we have with others because we don't play very nice.
You know, it's not great to get in an ink
fight with an octopus. You know, there's places we will
go where Dennis Dodd, his bald dad would not go.
But you know, and I'm not a mean spirited guy, no,
but my dad literally got my dad, my poor dad,
(30:43):
Like I don't care, like I don't care if USC's
mad at me, you know that, right, I don't care
if Kyle Whittingham's mad like you know, we do the
job and you break some eggs, I get it. But
my father is a USC guy and he cares.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
What you see, So you get what Lebron is filling
right now.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
No, no, not even close. But but I had sent
Dennis Dodd down there, you know, and and bought him
dinner and all that, and he ends up you know, can't.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Take somebody's dinner. It would be different if you invited
somebody to dinner. In the in the gals of like
trying to bribe them, right, and then they're like no,
but the fact that you just casually nice.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Now, what probably happened was, you know, Dennis Dodd went
down there, had dinner, people got wind in their jaws,
realized that some of the stuff they were talking about
wasn't exactly kosher, and then decided to throw me under
the bus and my family under the bus. But that
is what he did. You got to just he hurt
my family.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
You got to just eat that.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Dennis Dodd hurt my family, and we brought him on
the show past then you know, I'm not one of
those gotta be doesn't because no, no, I do not
and do not make this about Lebron because it always
made me a little like when my dad was doing
the recruiting down at the restaurant with Pete Carroll. We're
talking about like Tim Tebow's being recruited down there, Reggie Liner.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
This is the way businesses, Doe.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
But that was the age of it, right now, Sean Cody,
guys like that, and I remember I would We were
shorthanded oftentimes, and I was, even though doing these same
jobs as I am today, I've really progressed in my life.
I'm doing drive time and doing college football. I would
go down and wait tables all the time, especially on
(32:31):
those nights because we were especially very busy, and I
was always like, ah, you know, I got to put
this bottle under Kiffin and Sark and do all this
and that. Like I always knew that, you know that,
not that we were breaking rules. But I was never
super one hundred percent comfortable with it. I really tried
hard to separate myself from the recruiting part of it
(32:53):
and just wait tables, right, And I did and all that,
So I was never but I never thought Dennis Dodd
was going to blow us up because I sat him
down there to have dinner because he was here in
town for the Rose Bowl Vince Young versus Reggie Busch.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
So and for anybody, and I do understand for the
quote unquote rules of rules crowd right, but people don't
understand what it was actually like prior to N. I
l like, for instance, who's the basketball coach that, oh
Sam Sampson down yes, when he was like I have
(33:27):
parents that that can't come to the tournament, can't afford
prior to NIL, they can't afford to come to the tournament.
They were on the phone crying, like I'll sleep in
my kids room, like I just want to see my camera.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Rick Majeri's got in trouble for ordering pizza to a
hotel room.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Yeah, it's ell. It was sick, dude, it was sick.
So my and and I've never told any about it, Boydy,
this but my parents because I didn't come from money,
and my parents would drive their Pontiac Bonneville from here
up to Oregon and they would actually stay at one
(34:04):
of the coach's houses. Now now mind you, the head
coach had no idea, but they would stay at one
of the assistant coaches houses because getting a hotel would
have been too expensive. Yeah, yes, so so I don't like.
This is why nil is important. This is why kids
having an opportunity to make money is important. Because the
(34:26):
schools who are making millions in buildings, they're not yes
from there, from the TV contracts and everything. They're using
your kid up and you can't even get to a
damn game. That's outrageous. Happy retirement. Oh my god, it's
Dennis Dodd. We'll never forget you here. I get it
on the Petros and Money Show. That's how I used
(34:48):
standing on introm all the time.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
I guess he figured, you know, he came on the
radio so many times when I had my old show
that everything, he could attack my family and it would
just even all out. And I guess it does in
the grand scheme of things. What does it all matter?
He Carrol hates me now anyway, we'll be back. We
got a whole other hour, a great sports talk quick hits,
Dead and Alive Guy George Reister and Peyton
