Speaker 2: is out and it's been a great stay.

27
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 4: I had a lot of fun here.

28
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 2: I think I came first time of heer was forty

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: eight years ago when I came with my brother to

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: see a basketball game dating against Notre Dame. I became

31
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: friends with Digger Phelps, hall of Fame coach, longtime Notre

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: Dame coach, and I told the story that he recruited

33
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: me with a letter. That's one of those where an

34
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: alumni in your area said, you know, we should be

35
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: interested in you, and got a form letter from Digger Phelps.

36
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: He signed it, and then a couple of weeks later,

37
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: I got a letter back and said we're no longer

38
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: interested in recruiting you, which seemed kind of mean spirited.

39
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: They could have just kind of left it hanging there. Yeah.

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 7: See, it kind of feels like the booster that saw

41
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 7: you gives enough money that you got the letter, but

42
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 7: not enough money that they really recruited you. Is that

43
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 7: like we gave it a booster, right, you spend this

44
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 7: much money, We're gonna send Patrick that letter?

45
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, I mean that's Notre Dame's loss,

46
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: really it is, And I think it hurts them to

47
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: this day, they.

48
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 7: Had a chance to sign mister Outside and they chose

49
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 7: not to.

50
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: Are they crazy? And I took my talent to the

51
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: University of Dayton. Yeah, and the rest is history. Yes,

52
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: it is, yes, Paul.

53
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 8: My first Notre Dame home football game, I was ten

54
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 8: years old. My uncle and we had a park like

55
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 8: way far away and he got tickets and there were

56
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 8: nosebley tickets. But it was sunny and I can remember

57
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 8: the goal of the helmets when they ran out, and

58
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 8: it was better than on TV because we didn't have

59
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 8: HDTVs back then.

60
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: And that was it. You're done when once you see

61
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: it in person.

62
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's certain there's certain helmets in USC's

63
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: helmet is gorgeous as well.

64
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 4: Gorgeous it is.

65
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: I hated it growing up because they were always better

66
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: than Ohio State. Whenever Ohio State would play USC and

67
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: the Rose Bowl and I go, they're gonna lose and USC.

68
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: I remember whatnineteen sixty eight when I watched OJ Simpson

69
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: running in the Rose Bowl and I'm like, that guy's

70
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: different than all the other running backs that I've seen.

71
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: But coming out here, and you know what is great

72
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: is the stands are right on the field, like there's

73
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: there's not a lot of separation from the stands to

74
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: the field, and that atmosphere, it's wonderful atmosphere. It's a

75
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: shame it's going to rain. I think tomorrow night.

76
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 8: It's getting them a little better. I just checked the

77
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 8: weather report. The first half should be decent, yes, Marvin.

78
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 5: No, I agreed. I just shook my head.

79
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 4: Oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Pauli.

80
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 8: I think the other thing that's interesting about Notre Dame

81
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 8: Stadium when you go inside, it's not chock full of

82
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 8: ads and there's lots of distractions.

83
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: It's a much cleaner college football experience.

84
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 8: And like even back when I was younger, you know,

85
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 8: when everyone else had jumbo trons, they didn't go with

86
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 8: the jumbo trons yet, And then you'd see it play

87
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 8: and then you look up.

88
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 3: There's nothing to look up at and you got to

89
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: focus to the game.

90
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you go in, it's not as large as

91
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: you think it is. You know, before the renovation, I'm

92
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: ever going in and oh wait, that's it. But on

93
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: TV it looked huge, Yes, Paulie, oh yes, Todd.

94
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 6: This may be ignorant, especially to the local group here,

95
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 6: but when did they change from did they ever have

96
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 6: like Notre Dame in fighting arts or anything in the

97
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 6: end zones? What made them go like just diagonal lines

98
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 6: without like the name Notre Dame or anything like that.

99
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 8: I don't know the history of it, but if you

100
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 8: look back in the fifties, sixties and seventies, most of

101
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 8: the en zones didn't have anything in them. They had

102
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 8: plane or crossed lines like chalk, just so they could

103
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 8: know the difference.

104
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 3: And Notre Dame kind of stayed with those longer than most.

105
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,

106
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of the program. We will talk

107
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: to Pete Bbakua. He's the Notre Dame Athletic Director. When

108
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 2: you look at the Totem poll of powerful people in

109
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: college football, Pete's right there, right there with Greg sank

110
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: Tony Pettiti. He is the commissioner of the Big Ten.

111
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: Sank you of course the SEC. But we'll talk to Pete,

112
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: who took over for Jack Swarbrick, who was one of

113
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: the most powerful people in college football. So poll question

114
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: seating for the final hour of the pro it is

115
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 2: going to be.

116
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, we got two up there right now. We just

117
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 7: put up not too long ago. How long will Kurt

118
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 7: Signetti's contract last? Over four years or under? You're skewing

119
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 7: that negatively. I thought maybe it was when he was

120
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 7: going to resign. I don't know, or maybe it's when

121
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 7: he's no longer there for whatever reason. Right now, fifty

122
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 7: two percent of the audience have it under four years.

123
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 7: Oh no, I don't know what that means. Just for

124
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 7: your interpretation.

125
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 5: Okay, yes, Marvin, he's the safest coach in America, right.

126
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 5: I guess as they can win seven games and they'll

127
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 5: be all right, you're.

128
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 7: Making a lot of money now to win seven games.

129
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 5: They can win eight games and obrr yeah that's good.

130
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 4: No, I think it's different now.

131
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, like a cute story. Can you do it again? Hey,

132
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: we're paying you to be great every single year. You know,

133
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 2: Marcus Freeman in his fifth year, I would think that

134
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: he's up there among the safest coaches. Remember Ryan Day,

135
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: you know, you lose to Michigan. Then all of a sudden,

136
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: it's like, uh, do we need to move on from

137
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: Ryan Day? And then he won a national championship.

138
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 8: Yes, but I think what Marve was saying though, if

139
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 8: you look at a guy like Lane Kiffin at Old Miss,

140
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 8: he rows them up.

141
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 3: He's raised them up.

142
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 8: But in the eighties and nineties Old Miss would love

143
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 8: to be over five hundred. Yeah, they win the tailgate

144
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 8: every year when they would love to have some nice

145
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 8: football games. Now he's raised up Old Miss. I think

146
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 8: if he had an off year or two at Old Miss,

147
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 8: he'd probably survive it, while other schools.

148
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 5: He might not.

149
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we look at it and we go, hey, that's

150
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 2: a great story. But then you want continuity if you're

151
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: paying for that. You know, Texas Tech they spend all

152
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: that money, you know in the nil and the portal.

153
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: It's a cute story this year, but now what happens

154
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: next year and then the year after that. Indiana a

155
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, who was the head coach, Tom

156
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: al Mallen. Yeah, you know, great story until it wasn't

157
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 2: a great story. Then all of a sudden, you know,

158
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: you had Michael Pennix there, and then it didn't become

159
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: a great story anymore. But the turnover in college football, though,

160
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: you're going to have more of these team smu Arizona

161
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 2: State that come out of nowhere and they're gonna knock

162
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: some of these so called.

163
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: Blue Bloods out of the picture. It's gonna happen.

164
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: Texas Tech is probably a playoff team this year, so

165
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: somebody's gonna get knocked out. And you see what's happening

166
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 2: at Florida State Florida, they may lose their coaches. It's

167
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: a quick turnaround, man. It's what have you done for

168

172
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,760

174
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,360

181
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: keeping the Brewers and the Blue Jays handled the Mariners

182
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: eight two that's tied to to apiece, and the Bengals

183
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: over the Steelers surprise, surprise, Joe Flacco throws for three touchdowns.

184
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: Time to play the most must win game of the weekend,

185
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: otherwise known as the mmwgg W. PAULI you want to

186
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: go first.

187
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 8: I'd love to go first. I was going to go

188
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 8: Indiana Michigan State tomorrow. Kurt Signetti is a twenty seven

189
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 8: point favorite tomorrow against Michigan State. Can you imagine if

190
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 8: somehow he lost that game. Now, I'm taking out the

191
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 8: board because it's probably not possibile.

192
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: But you already put the bad vibes out there. I

193
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: know we shouldn't be doing this.

194
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 8: I was just thinking, can you imagine losing that game?

195
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 8: I'm going to go with Georgia Tech Football. They're twelve

196
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 8: right now. Nobody's talking about them. They're six and oho.

197
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 8: They're at Duke, and Duke is quality. They're not a

198
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 8: bad team. You get past Duke, you've got some winnable games,

199
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 8: and you finish with Georgia.

200
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: They could be in the playoffs.

201
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: Hey, Marvin. The most must win game of the weekend.

202
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 5: The Philadelphia Eagles. They're wing a little bit of a

203
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 5: losing streak, and if they lose this third rate Nick Sirianni,

204
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 5: there's some trouble brewing.

205
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 4: Who did the Eagles play the Vikings Vikings? That's right, yep?

206
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 5: Are you Sirianni?

207
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 4: You're calling him out?

208
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 5: Huh, there's some trouble brewing. He's never not on the

209
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 5: hot seat.

210
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 4: I know, even when he won a Super Bowl.

211
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 5: That don't matter. Doug Peterson one and eighteen months later, deuces.

212
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 4: Why are you yelling at me?

213
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 5: I'll just be I'll just give him my opinion.

214
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 4: Okay, sound like you were yelling at me. All of

215
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 4: a sudden.

216
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 2: You put on the Notre Dame hockey sweatshirt and you

217
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: think you're a tough guy.

218
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 5: I'm on Marvin O. Prince right here.

219
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: Todd the mm W goot w after losing their first

220
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: two winning the next three.

221
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 5: I want to believe in Paulie's Bears.

222
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 6: I think for them to make a statement, it's very

223
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 6: important to go to four and two.

224
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 5: They've got to beat the Saints at Soldier Field.

225
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 6: And prove that they're one of the better teams in

226
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 6: the NFC.

227
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: The Saints are getting four and a half.

228
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 4: Does that make you nervous?

229
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: It's a little close. It's like it's all tight.

230
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 4: They're the Saints.

231
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Spencer Rattlers had him in a few games.

232
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you the Bears, aren't you supposed to be

233
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: turning the corner gear.

234
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 8: I've seen a lot of corners missed by the Bears

235
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 8: over the years. A lot of they went straight and

236
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 8: they missed the turn.

237
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 4: Seaton the most most win game of the weekend.

238
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go Syracuse Football. Whoa deep cut, Syria. I'm

245
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:42,520

249
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: surprised Lane Kiffin's name hasn't come up with Penn State.

250
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 2: Feels like, you know, hey, or you make sure that

252
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: State's interested in my client, Okay, and then you put

Speaker 2: it out and next thing, you know that guy's got

254
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,760

00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 7: getting a great reaction people. I do like this sort

259
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 7: of negative versus positive on that we also had up there.

260
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 7: How much will the Steelers regret last night's loss? Right now?

261
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 7: Sixty two percent of the audience say they're going to

262
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 7: miss that a ton.

263
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, we always look back, We should look back.

264
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: We don't do it enough where we tend to look

265
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: at the last two games of the regular season instead

266
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: of you know, those games in the start, like the

267
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: Bengals against the Patriots last year, and I went, oh,

268
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: this is going to be bad. It's going to be bad.

269
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: This will come back and haunt the Bengals, and it did.

270
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 2: They missed the playoffs by a game.

271
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 8: Yeah, Pauline, we're calling yesterday's game by the Steelers and

272
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 8: Bengals the MIGOTSSF the most impactful game of the season

273
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 8: so far.

274
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 3: New category so far? Yeah, so far?

275
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: Okay, wait, that's the most impactful game of the season

276
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: so far.

277
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 8: Yes, because it totally opens up the division now the

278
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 8: Bengals can play for what and try to get Joe

279
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 8: Burrow back and think like we have a shot here

280
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 8: if Lamar Jackson can come back and think all we

281
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 8: need is a three game winning streaker. Right back in

282
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 8: this the Steelers were holding serve you said it last week,

283
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 8: just hold serve they didn't they flinched most impactful game

284
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 8: of the season so far.

285
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: Do you guys agree with that that that's the most

286
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: impactful game of the season, Marvin.

287
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 5: I'm going to go with the Patriots winning at the Bills.

288
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

289
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 5: I think that's a big game changer right there. Now

290
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 5: we have debated they have the tiebreaker.

291
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 4: Oh so you threw that out just so we would

292
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 4: have it a debate.

293
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: I see what you the pot stir Oh okay, classic

294
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 2: tod do you have.

295
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 6: Once while he's the producer, I kind of agree with Paula.

296
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: I know he's not gonna like that.

297
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 5: He's going to want to change his mind.

298
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: Trying to distance myself, I'm trying to distance.

299
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 6: I think he makes a very valid point about what's

300
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 6: going on in the FC North.

301
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: I like the way he presented Now, okay, all right, and.

302
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 7: I GOTSSF Buccaneers Seahawks Week five, thirty eight thirty five.

303
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 7: I think that's probably a bigger game. That's just me, Okay,

304
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 7: that's just my opinion.

305
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 2: By the way, there's a Sam Darnald Panini card behind

306
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: Pauli and call it. And so when we tear down

307
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: this stage the stage here, Pauli goes.

308
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 4: I got, I got that, that's mine.

309
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: I go. You can take it off the wall right now? Really,

310
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: oh yeah, giving it to me and you can put

311
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: it right by your desk. As a Sam darnaldist, yes, nobody.

312
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 4: Loves Sam Darnold as much as you do.

313
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 7: Look at the you have Jerome Bettison and I do.

314
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 7: Look at his shoulder pads, well, back then were huge.

315
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 7: They're almost as tall as his head.

316
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: Wasn't it. Clay Matthews the first guy to have small

317
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: shoulder pads. He definitely had small like he had Pop

318
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: Warner shoulder pads. But if you look at at Earl

319
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: Campbell's shoulder.

320
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 4: Pads, they were huge, huge. Yeah, but back then you

321
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 4: did have big shoulder pads.

322
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 2: Now these guys don't have knee pads, hip pads, thigh pads,

323
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: and they have small shoulder pads.

324
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 5: Yes, Marvin, they have legging for football pants.

325
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 3: It's like capri pants.

326
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's nothing, no thigh, no knee, no nothing.

327
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 2: But the coaches are wearing the capri pants to their

328
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: press conferences.

329
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 8: Mike McDaniel down in Miami, he is the worst thing

330
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 8: about him is not as win lost records, is how

331
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 8: he dresses for games.

332
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: Well, Aaron Glenn, did the capri pants?

333
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 4: Disagree?

334
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 7: A grated disagree?

335
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 3: Look at their records combined, capre pants equal losses. Yeah,

336
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 3: everyone knows that.

337
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: Well.

338
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 7: I can't argue with that, but I'm gonna say.

339
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: You're okay with Mike McDaniel capri pants.

340
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 7: I love Mike McDaniel. I everything that he does.

341
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that.

342
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 7: I wish that he was a little more like protected

343
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 7: his quarterbacks a little bit more. I don't really like that,

344
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 7: but in terms of his style and personal demeanor, that's

345
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 7: my guy.

346
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: Love them and you're okay with the capri pants?

347
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I mean I'm not gonna wear them, but

348
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 7: I don't mind his coopreepants. Go ahead, dude, looks good.

349
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, Marvin, I don't know about the pants, but I

350
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 5: do enjoy the twenty monthana scarface sunglasses that he wears

351
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 5: sometimes when it's sunny out, boy, I'm about to sell

352
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 5: a whole brick, well.

353
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: Him, yeah, well, no, allegedly it looks.

354
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 5: Like he's about to sell a whole bit.

355
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 7: And he said that locker room is too polluted, and they.

356
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: Talk about tour there.

357
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 7: Okay, you're not quite a little.

358
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 5: Help me back.

359
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's got to protect his quarterback on the

360
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: field and out of Prescott yesterday.

361
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 4: That's the problem. And he can only do so much there.

362
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 5: Yes, Harvin, the best part about that whole thing is

363
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 5: for for us. That is amazing what he says during

364
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 5: press conferences. Dolphins PR, somebody's got to talk to tour

365
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 5: because that is PR's worst nightmare.

366
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: They should just get quotes from him, the PR department, uh,

367
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: with the Dolphins and just say, give me some quotes

368
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: and then we'll pass them on to the media. When

369
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: he gets in front of the that live microphone, it

370
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: is not good. Or I would do ai with him,

371
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: and you know, just say we got to control this

372
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: because when he gets in front of a live audience

373
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: the media, man doesn't go, well, all right, we'll take

374
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: a break. He's a pretty powerful guy in sports. He's

375
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: Pete Babakwa, Notre Dame athletic Director. He will join us

Speaker 7: What are you doing interrupting our promo?

387
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you wasn't talking about you. You took those clips

388
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: totally out of context.

389
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you

390

Speaker 9: out and beat you.

391
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: Let me put this into context.

396
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: the athletic director here at Notre Dame Pete Babakua. I

397
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 2: think he was my boss at NBC and ecock at

398
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: one point, although I never saw him, I don't know

399
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 2: if we had any communication. Yes, Paul, that's the best

400
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 2: kind of boss. Yeah, but I just remembered he worked

401
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: at NBC Sports and ran NBC Sports, but I didn't

402
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 2: come in contact with it, yeah, Paul.

403
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 3: Then he went in the portal and Notre Dame picked up.

404
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did. But the nil, I mean, he's done

416
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 4: That is awesome.

417
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 10: We also I have some of your old performance reviews.

418
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 10: Oh you do, yeah, sit down and talk about that.

419
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 4: Wait, were you my boss.

420
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 10: At some point I was yeah, yeah, but why didn't

421
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 10: I talk to you? You know, I was busy, and.

422
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 2: Why didn't you talk to me?

423
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 4: I talked, Did you think I did a good job?

424
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 10: I thought you did a really good job.

425
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah. Why am I not there anymore?

426
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 10: There's there's new bosses.

427
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you. And I mentioned this. I

428
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 2: don't know if I'm overstating it. You probably would think

429
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 2: I am. But I look at Sanky and Patiti and

430
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: I look at you, as you know, probably the three

431
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: most important people in college football, the SEC commissioner, Big

432
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: Ten and you here at Notre Dame, and you take

433
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: over for Jack Swarbrick, who was one of the most

434
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: influential people we probably had with this sport. Sometime, do

435
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,239
Speaker 2: you feel like you guys are the gatekeepers here? And

436
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 2: if so, what goes along with that?

437
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 10: Well, I would tell you, first of all, it's not me.

438
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 10: It's Notre Dame. I mean, Notre Dame is are in

439
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 10: that position. You talk about the history of Notre Dame football,

440
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 10: the power Notre Dame football, the power of the brand.

441
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 10: I'm the caretaker of that, you know, and I couldn't

442
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 10: be more honored or feel more fortunate to be in

443
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 10: this position, and I take that responsibility very very seriously.

444
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 10: That I'm in that room having those conversations with Greg Sankey,

445
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 10: Tody Petiti, Jimmy Phillips at the ACC, Brett Yormark at

446
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 10: the Big Twelve, and others, and you know, we have

447
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 10: a very definite point of view, We have a perspective

448
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 10: what Notre Dame believes in. Being independent in the space,

449
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 10: as you've mentioned in the past, is certainly a unique

450
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 10: attribute to the position we hold in college football, and

451
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 10: it's a great privilege to be in that room. I

452
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 10: love being in that room. I love being a part

453
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 10: of those conversations, and we're hall hopefully united and aligned

454
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 10: in certainly doing what's best. A commissioner has to always

455
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 10: have the perspective of what's best for his or her conference.

456
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 10: I have to have the perspective of what's best for

457
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 10: Notre Dame. But I think we all hope to share

458
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 10: a common ground of what's best for the future health

459
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 10: of college football.

460
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 2: Okay, but what is that There have been different models

461
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: that have been put out there, and I just it

462
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: feels like it's inevitable we're going to get to an

463
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: NFL or Premier league type of format. Could you get

464
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: sixty teams fifty forty teams and almost secede from the NCAA.

465
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, Dan, there's the concept of this super league. Are

466
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 10: there twenty four to thirty teams that extricate themselves from

467
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 10: the college football space and create a mini NFL? I,

468
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 10: for one, I think that's a horrible mistake. College football

469
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 10: is not the NFL.

470
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 5: We shouldn't be.

471
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 10: The NFL were something different. We're something that's special. The crowds,

472
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 10: the alumni bases, the fact that these are eighteen to

473
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 10: twenty one year olds that change and graduate. There's a

474
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 10: power to that. And I think in trying to replicate

475
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 10: the NFL model, where there might be some more revenue there,

476
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 10: particularly from a media standpoint, I think we'll ruin what's special.

477
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 10: We won't look like the NFL, will look like a

478
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 10: small version, a compromise version of the NFL, and we'll

479
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 10: lose what's so special about what's going to happen here

480
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 10: tomorrow night. When you have two great, storied programs from

481
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 10: great schools coming together, this wonderful rivalry, you know you

482
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 10: have the Notre Dame USC's the Ohio State, Michigan's that's

483
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 10: what makes college football so special.

484
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 2: But we're losing these rivalries. We may lose USC Notre Dame.

485
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 10: Well, I would say, and I can't speak for USC,

486
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 10: but in the conversations we've had, I think both schools,

487
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 10: both administrations are committed to keeping this series alive. We've

488
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 10: had a lot of positive conversations with USC. They're continuing

489
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 10: literally around the clock, my hope and I think USC

490
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 10: shares this, and I know they share it. We want

491
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 10: to keep this series going. It's so special, it's stay.

492
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 10: I'll be the first two minutes. It's great for Notre Dame.

493
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 10: I think it's great for USC, and maybe most importantly,

494
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 10: I think it's great for college football. This is one

495
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 10: of those rivalries that defined college football, define the sport,

496
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 10: the greatest intersectional rivalry that there is, and I think

497
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 10: the public deserves it. I think the college fans deserve it.

498
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 10: All the pageantry of a Notre Dame USC game. You

499
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 10: think about the importance of this game over the history

500
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 10: of college football. How many national championships were influenced and

501
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 10: determined the Heisman Trophy winners. And I understand, you know,

502
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 10: with the Big Ten the conference schedules, you know, more

503
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 10: conference matchups. That's tough, that's difficult travel for USC now

504
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,239
Speaker 10: that they're in the Big Ten. But you know, I

505
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 10: just think college football deserves it. I know we feel

506
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 10: that way. I know USC feels that way. And you know,

507
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 10: for us, we're lucky that we have a long list

508
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 10: of really prominent teams that want to play us. They

509
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 10: want to do home and homes, they want us to

510
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 10: come to their stadiums, they want to come here to

511
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 10: Notre Dame. And you know, that's great, and that's a

512
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 10: fortunate position be in. And that's the power of Notre

513
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 10: Dame and the power of the program under coach Freeman.

514
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 10: But there's something really special about Notre Dame USC, and

515
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 10: no matter how either team season is going, anything can happen.

516
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 10: You can make a team a more difficult road to

517
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 10: a national championship, you can have an upset. It's just

518
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 10: a wonderful history there that I hope we don't lose.

519
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so why are we at this point where

520
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: we have to negotiate around the clock to keep this going.

521
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 2: If everybody understands the beauty of this rivalry, the importance

522
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 2: of this rivalry.

523
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 10: I think it's scheduling and now the Big Ten schedule

524
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 10: and the nine games that they play. When you look

525
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 10: at our schedule into the future, and we're talking about

526
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 10: moments in the calendar month, that makes sense for us

527
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 10: and for USC. I think there's no secret that USC

528
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 10: would like to play our game earlier in the season.

529
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 10: So I'm working hand in hand with somebody who's so

530
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 10: important to our program, Ron Palace, who's a name everybody knows,

531
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 10: and Ron is kind of mapping out what our future

532
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 10: looks like twenty six, twenty seven, well into the thirties,

533
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 10: and where could we position this game. So it's a

534
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 10: win win for us when we go out there and

535
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 10: when USC comes here and visits. I'm hopeful. I'm optimistic.

536
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 10: Nothing is finalized, but I'm optimistic that we'll get something done.

537
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: He's a Pete Bubaqua Notre Dame athletic director. But I

538
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 2: understand from USC's perspective, it feels like Notre Dame may

539
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 2: need USC more than USC needs Notre Dame because Notre

540
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 2: Dame has a tough Big Ten schedule and they don't

541
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 2: want to jeopardize, you know, another loss, because if you

542
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: have three losses you're not going to make like Tomorrow's

543
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: an elimination game. It feels like for Notre Dame.

544
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's you know, we you know, we

545
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 10: have a tough schedule this year. We opened up with

546
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 10: two very tough competitive games, obviously with Miami, who's now

547
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 10: I think number two in the country in Texas A

548
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 10: and m We lost to Miami by three points. There

549
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 10: in our opening game, we lost to Texas A and

550
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 10: m here by a point. Then we've you know, we've

551
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 10: had this great stretch of four victories in a row.

552
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 10: But no, hey, no doubt about it.

553
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 2: If we want to.

554
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 10: Make the CFP, and we do, we got to go

555
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 10: win tomorrow night. We know that our t knows that,

556
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 10: Marcus knows that. But I'll push back on you. I

557
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 10: think this game is just as important for us as

558
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 10: it is for Notre Dame, and just as important for

559
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 10: college football. And if you're USC, you want this tradition,

560
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 10: you want to play Notre Dame. You want Notre Dame

561
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 10: to come out to the coliseum. You know, just like

562
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 10: when USC's here, we'll pack the house the South Bend.

563
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 10: There'll be one hundred more thousand people coming into South

564
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 10: Bend even people who can't get in the stadium just

565
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 10: to be a part of the pageantry in the atmosphere. Well,

566
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 10: that happens when we go out to the coliseum. It's packed.

567
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 10: The surrounding area is packed. It has such a benefit

568
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 10: for the campus, for the community. And when you take

569
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 10: two great historic brands from wonderful schools and you're able

570
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 10: to have this great contest on the football field year

571
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 10: in and year out, there's tremendous value for the entire ecost.

572
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to lose it, but I don't

573
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: want to lose Notre Dame in Michigan.

574
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 4: Well I would.

575
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 10: I'd love to play Michigan, you know, And I think

576
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 10: that's something we're going to work to. I think that's

577
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 10: one you know, I think back to my time here.

578
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 10: I graduated in nineteen ninety three.

579
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 2: If you join the Big Ten, then you get to

580
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 2: play these teams. Yeah, but we just letting you know.

581
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 10: I hear you and the Big Ten. Hey, now, there's

582
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 10: was it ever close? Big Ten's a wonderful conference. I

583
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 10: don't think it was ever close. You know, there's the

584
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 10: Big Ten, the SEC, the Big twelve, the ACC. As

585
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 10: you know, we're a member of the ACC for twenty

586
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 10: four of our twenty six sports or Big ten in hockey,

587
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 10: and obviously independent in football. I think it's a great

588
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 10: time to be independent. And we're sure we're a unicorn,

589
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 10: but we have a wonderful relationship with NBC thirty five

590
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 10: years in counting. We have the luxury and we're fortunate

591
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 10: to schedule great teams. Think about this year, we had Miami,

592
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 10: Texas A and m we play USC Going into the future,

593
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 10: we have Alabama, we have Texas, we have some others

594
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 10: that were close to announcing. And I love the fact

595
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 10: that the freedom we have from playing teams that make sense,

596
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 10: playing in areas that we want to play in, whether

597
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 10: it's going to New York City, going out to Los Angeles,

598
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 10: playing in the Yankee Stadium next year, opening up the

599
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 10: season in Lambeau against Wisconsin, going to Ireland, thinking hey,

600
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 10: can we go play a game in Mexico City. You

601
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 10: have the luxury of that when you're independent. But to

602
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 10: be independent, you have to be good and we know that,

603
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 10: and that's an obligation, that's a responsibility.

604
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: We have to be good.

605
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 10: We have to stay relevant. We have to knock on

606
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 10: that national championship door, year in and year out, because

607
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 10: to stay independent, we have to be impossible to ignore.

608
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 10: You have to be a unicorn, but you don't want to.

609
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 10: You can't let the unicorn get starved. And that's tremendous

610
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 10: pressure on the program, on our athletic department, on coach Freeman.

611
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 10: But it's pressure that we welcome and I think we

612
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 10: thrive on.

613
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: If you add the deciding vote of expanding the playoffs

614
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 2: from twelve to let's say sixteen, one.

615
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 10: Hundred percent answer, in my opinion, sixteen teams is the

616
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 10: way we should go. Five automatical fires, one each for

617
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 10: the power for conference champions, one for the highest CHI

618
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 10: five G five champion, eleven at large.

619
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: Prove it on the field.

620
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 10: If we're lucky enough to be in, we're in. If

621
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 10: because we're independent, we have three losses or four losses

622
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 10: and we're out, we're out. I think there's almost unanimity

623
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 10: in that feeling, and I hope that's where we end up.

624
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 10: I feel passionate about that. I think it's the best

625
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,719
Speaker 10: thing for college football. I think it's the best thing

626
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 10: for the future college football. Look at the top ten

627
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 10: this year, Look at the different teams in there. Look

628
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 10: at the success that Texas Tech is having.

629
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 4: You want that.

630
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 10: You want every team to wake up at the end

631
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 10: of the summer and they as they go into their

632
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 10: first game and say, hey, if we do it, if

633
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 10: we get it done, if we go twelve and zero,

634
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 10: if we go eleven and one, if we schedule tough

635
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 10: opponents and have a strong strength to schedule, we can

636
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 10: earn our way in there. Nobody wants a head start.

637
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 10: That's not the way to do it. We want to

638
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 10: prove that we can identify a true national championship, a

639
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 10: team that's earned in on the field.

640
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: And I feel very strongly yeah.

641
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 4: But can we lock in sixteen?

642
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: We got to twelve and we were already going, well,

643
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 2: we got to get to fourteen or sixteen.

644
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 10: Yeah. I think what I love about I think the

645
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 10: move from four to twelve was terrific and smart. I

646
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,719
Speaker 10: think the move from twelve to sixteen brings additional teams in.

647
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 10: Obviously the four additional teams, it creates those four additional

648
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 10: narratives around the country, brings those fan bases in, brings

649
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 10: in other geographies. Yet there's that delicate balance that I

650
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 10: think it achieves and maintains of identifying a true national championship,

651
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 10: but protecting the integrity and the importance of that of

652
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 10: the regular season. And there's no sport where the regular

653
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 10: season games are more important than they are in college football.

654
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 10: Here we are in week seven and we have a

655
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 10: game tomorrow night that for us will determine whether we

656
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 10: can make the playoffs or whether we're on the outside

657
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 10: looking in. That doesn't happen in other sports, and that's

658
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 10: the beauty of college football. That's why there's so much

659
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 10: passion around these games. And you mentioned games this weekend

660
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 10: and that are so important. Teams that can't afford to

661
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 10: lose again, teams that need a quality win. That's the

662
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 10: beauty of college football. And we can't lose. That be

663
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 10: a shame if we lost that.

664
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 4: Do you have uniform approval?

665
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 2: I have uniform input, input input.

666
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 10: So you know, Marcus, who's probably one of the two

667
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 10: or three most stylish men in America, he has a

668
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 10: lot of input. We tend to defer to him. We

669
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 10: have color combinations that we like, and then he works

670
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 10: with our very talented team and with our partner under

671
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 10: Armour to put the uniforms out there. But I get

672
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 10: a sense that's a leading question, Are you thinking about

673
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 10: a uniform that we haven't debuted yet?

674
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 4: No, I'm just curious.

675
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 2: Is there anything like a bold move that you would

676
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 2: make for a one off?

677
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 10: Well, you think about our Shamrock series. We've had some

678
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 10: really creative uniforms.

679
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 4: You think when we and I love the helmet with

680
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 4: the Shamrock on.

681
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think that we see though the gold helmet

682
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 10: as Sakra saying, Okay, I don't think we're gonna monkey

683
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 10: around with the helmets anymore. That gold helmet is as

684
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 10: good as it gets. I'm biased. I think it's the

685
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 10: best helmet in college football. But you think about when

686
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 10: we went to Yankee Stadium for the Shamrock series a

687
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 10: few years back with the pinstripes, what we did last

688
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 10: year when we went to Yankee Stadium for the Army game,

689
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 10: what we're going to do next year at Lambeau, what

690
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 10: we did a couple of weeks ago in the all

691
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 10: green uniforms. I love when we use the white on

692
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 10: white with the gold helmets when we're away. So we're

693
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 10: gonna you know, we work with under armour. We want

694
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 10: to change it up. The fans love it, But.

695
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 2: You would do that the leperkun on the front, like

696
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 2: you can't put the leprechaun on for you need the number,

697
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 2: but you can't do a no.

698
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 10: You will see that are we have the sports specific leprechauns.

699
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 10: We debuted the football one that that you guys that

700
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 10: we've been wearing a few weeks ago, and the fans

701
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 10: love it. Coach Freeman loves it. We have the hockey Leprechaun.

702
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 10: We're going to do that in more sports. You will

703
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 10: see that football leprechaun start to move into certain positions

704
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 10: on some of our football uniforms, but unlike the hockey sweater,

705
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 10: it won't be on the front or the back.

706
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 4: Can you give me an idea of how much merchandise

707
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 4: you guys do? Well, I would tell you we did

708
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,680

711
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: to be. You must do more merchandise than any other

712
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 2: program in America.

713
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 10: I think you know we're lucky. We have such a great, passionate, national,

714
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,680

716
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 10: know what it is. It means something.

717
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 2: And then to the.

720
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 10: interesting designs that appeal to people. And then as I say,

721
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 10: you put it on Marcus Freeman, put him on television

722

723
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 10: or a Saturday night, and everybody wants what what Marcus wears. Now,

724
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,960
