Ricky Williams first 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:15.600 through the line, he cuts to the left, he breaks 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:20.560 a tackle, He's down the sideline. This is Ricky's record. 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:30.319 Welcome to Games with Names, presented by Win Bett. I'm 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.040 Julian Edelman, I'm Sam Morrel. We're here to find the 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:38.400 greatest games of all time energy and today on this 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:45.400 beautiful podcast day, we got Texas versus Texas A and M, 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:49.040 who was ranked sixth this year in nineteen ninety eight, 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:53.440 and our guest, Ricky Williams. I can't wait, legend, maybe 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.520 the greatest college football player of all time. Insane first 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.360 reactions when I think of this second to last game 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:01.240 of the season. This guy's not even supposed to be 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.480 playing this year because he could have got drafted number 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:08.480 one the year before. Probably he's got forty four carries 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.880 too much. It's like you ever see, uh we're talking 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:13.920 about this? Is this ethical to put a running back 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.000 through this? I in this tay and age. I guess 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.360 I mean there was no ethics. This was ninety eight, 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:24.400 No ethics. Zero, ethics are new. We just discovered ethics. No, 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:25.880 but it's like we ever see a movie and they 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.199 have like a child actor and they're like, you can't 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.040 do more than eight hours or whatever. There's limits. There 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:35.000 should be over forty carries. I guarantee McCauley Culkin had 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.280 more than eight hours a day, and that was also 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.120 in the nineties. For sure. He also hung out with 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.000 Michael Jackson, which would not be allowed in today's age. 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.200 I don't think probably frowned upon, frowned upon, at least 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.320 probably frowned upon. This hits so close to the heart 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.360 for me because in nineteen ninety eight I was like 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:57.720 a little kid. I was twelve years old, and everyone 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.120 always heard about bo Jackson, how this guy was unstoppable 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:05.440 to sport athlete. And then you throw on these games 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.639 every Saturday. And I didn't really watch Texas, but you 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.680 knew Ricky Williams. Yeah, this guy was like averaging one 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.640 hundred and ninety three yards a game, running up and 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:19.120 down the field, jumping over guys, running over guys, out 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.320 running guys. He's like two hundred and thirty five pounds. 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.920 He runs a four to three eight back in ninety eight, 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.880 Like he's honestly one of the most dominant football players 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.560 that ever played on Saturday. Yeah, it's it's it's it's insane, 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:36.440 And I'm so excited to hear his story how he felt, 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:40.800 because it's pretty It's pretty well known that Ricky loved 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.280 college football and he loved a little bit of this, 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:47.280 right Yeah, he little little Mary Jay, little devils. Let 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.480 us never hurt nobody, And we're gonna hear about that 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.119 from old Ricky himself. But to get back to this game, man, 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.000 like forty four carries two hundred and seventy two yards 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.880 one touchdown in this game, he beats Tony dors sets record. 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:03.480 He only needed like sixty eight yards, smashes it, and 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.639 like the story is, Mac Brown says, I don't want 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.120 you smashing it on a little run. You got to 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.720 break a big run. He does it on like a 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:16.160 sixty eight yard er. I mean, it really is mind blowing. 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.359 It's mind blowing. It's like when Jeter got his three 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:22.520 thousand's career hit as a home run. Wait, Bogs did 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.560 that too, pretty badass. Always back to a New York thing. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.520 Bogs did it in Tampa. It's not always New York. Yeah, 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.520 and Bogs is a Yankee and a red sock. I 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.000 was trying to bring some unity here, all right, we're 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.880 bringing unity, you know. And Jeter, I mean, who doesn't. 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.720 I mean it's Jeter. He's cool, awesome, Jeter. We know 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.800 you're listening. Come on, games with names, so many games 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.000 to talk about. The gift bag? Is it real? Is 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.520 it not real? Do you think he gift bags women 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.280 on the way out? I mean he's a married man. Now, 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.560 he's a married man. But we're talking about old school Jeter. 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.720 I don't know. He seems like a gentleman. Have you 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:01.760 ever gift bagged a woman? Absolutely? Not one weird thing. 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.920 Just am a father of a daughter. A woman's leaving 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.680 Julian's place and she just takes it back out. Entourage 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.560 Season four on DVD. What the hell the hell are 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:15.760 we doing? It's always us movie Sam, the movie you're wearing. 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.920 The movie Androge was good. It's not as good as 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.719 the Joker. But let's go to let's live back into 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:26.280 this day. In nineteen ninety eight number one movie Bugs Life. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:27.960 Never saw it. I heard it's great. I was I 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.960 was an ants. I saw ants because of Woody Allen. Yeah, 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.599 I love I saw Bugs Life recently. I was like 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.320 half up, half asleep. Me and my daughter watched it. 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.359 It's it's pretty good. There's like it's great, it's and 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.000 then I remember going to Disney World and they did 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.680 they had like a Bugs Life ride or something. I 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.440 haven't been in years, but I remember that was like 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.800 a cool thing. But what what? What? Who did ants? 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.040 Was that? That wasn't Disney dream Works? I think, yeah, 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.320 I remember what too bad? Woody Allen wasn't attracted to 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.640 Ants instead of his stepdaughter, and he wouldn't have been canceled. 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:02.120 I guess only get an ants attraction? Jack. What do 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:05.240 we got? Yeah works? Yeah, Ants was good. I heard, 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.599 I heard, I've heard Bugs Life is better. I guess 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.560 there's like a lot of hidden stories. But or like 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.160 what is it? What do they call that? Like there's 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:16.760 a lot of metaphorically type speaking, there's metaphors, right, yeah? Yeah? 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.719 Well number one song Doop Lauren Hell great, great great album. 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.159 I mean I love Lauren Hill. I got to see 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.400 her live in twenty twelve at like an SP's party 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:31.320 and she I don't know, she's just fucking cool. She's 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.840 got a vibe there's that one song. I'm trying to 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.120 think of how it goes because I don't know song names. Great, 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.080 but I can start like singing the g give me 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.000 a little of it. Well, I loved hearing the Fujis too. 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:45.320 Oh yeah, ready started out, Yeah Fuji's yeah, babe. Well 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.000 we'll have to get back to it. Get back to it. 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:55.120 Remember this the powder. The Powerpuff Girls premieres on Cartoon Network. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.680 Cartoon Network at all the Bangers Dexter's laboratory, they had 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.279 Johnny Bravo, they they had some heat. I didn't. I 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.400 wasn't a Powerpuff Girls thing, but I remember I wouldn't 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.680 think that'd be weird if if he was, Like I 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:12.920 was a Bubbles person, truly, I like bubbles. But did 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.920 you I remember seeing like every we were like twelve 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:20.520 at this time. Yeah, every girl had Powerpuff like backpacks. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.000 They were cool. It was like that was like a thing. 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:27.240 That's what I remember. Final season of Seinfeld in the 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:31.040 Air alrightp RP. Seinfeld went out. You know, look, Larry 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.240 David was gone those last two seasons. It was probably 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.119 time to wrap it up. But one of the best shows, 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.240 if not the best show. It's just all the time. 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.360 It's like the Ultimate show when you have nothing to 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.479 watch and you cause it takes me like forty five 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.919 minutes a to find out what I want to watch, 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.040 be another forty five minutes to find out what I'm 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:54.159 going to order. If I'm having struggles, I just throw 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:59.760 on Seinfeld. You get in, you get out. It's great background. Oh, 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.200 it's just especially those like seasons like three through seven, 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.640 you're just getting heat. They're all it looked. The whole 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.040 show is great, but those are like the we talk 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:13.400 about that just pure fire. Viagra got the FDA approval 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.840 earlier in ninety eight. You remember that Jake Gillenhall movie 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.080 which one Donny Darko. It was a rom come where 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:25.200 he was like a Viagra pharmaceutical sales guy and Hathaway 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.200 was in it and other drugs, Love and other drugs. 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:32.240 Never saw it. It was fucking good. Jake Jillenhole rarely disappoints. 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.320 I feel like he's got a great he's got like 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.480 an underrated body of work. He's got, he's got like 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.320 good stuff. I like. I like Jake Jonhall. He's got 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.600 like an old vibe. Zodiac is great Zodiac. And then 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.200 then he had the neighbors he had. Uh I loved 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.800 October Sky never saw it what it was like, such 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.560 a like a feel good movie, like I'm gonna invent 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.720 a rocket and get out of this coal mining town. Yeah, 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:02.080 rocket viagra metaphors throughout this episode. I mean, real motherfuckers 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.280 weren't waiting for the FDA approval. They were like, I 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.760 got fifty to sixty boners less in my left in 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.640 my life. I'm jumping on it. Yeah, you gotta jump 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.000 on it. Who's waiting for FDA approval? They sell this 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.240 shit at gas stations. Well, now now this is ninety eight. 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.680 We're talking. We're talking ninety eight, you know, and it 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.720 brings me back Horny Goweed.

If it's related to 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.680 Horny Goweed, we have not heard. It's related to my 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.240 first time ever seeing a Viagara pill. WHOA. So my 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:41.160 parents it's their anniversary April fourteenth. So they're going on 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:45.600 like a little weekend trip and they leave the house. 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.600 And so my parents left the house, I would always 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.440 go up and use their bathroom, you know, full just 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.360 like living lavish in their bed. My dad runs in. 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.160 I'm like, oh shit, my dad's here. He runs in, 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:03.200 goes into like the closet and he's scrambling through the drawer, Like, 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.760 what the fuck is this guy looking for? He goes 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.560 out and I'm looking at him. He looks at me. 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.080 He pulls out a blue pill. He kisses it, puts 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.320 it in his pocket and says, son, hopefully you don't 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.480 know what this is until you're about my age. Wow. 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.080 And it confused me. I didn't know what it was 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:30.120 until like literally like nine years later or eight. I 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.920 was like, Oh, that your first taste of pds. That 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.800 was your first taste. Rodnie Harrison said the same thing 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.320 to the locker room. He kissed the needle and said, 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.360 hopefully don't know what this is. Julian injected into his 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:50.280 ass Yoh Sam, the banter goes here we go major 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:54.760 global events. Now what do we got?

I love that movie. 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:14.240 Schwarzenegger badass. That's like they're like paved the way for 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.760 like Hunger Games, right, I mean Running Man. I thought 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.000 Hunger Games was based off of when I saw Hunger Games, 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.480 it was off book. Yeah, well did did the book 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:25.240 Hunger Games come out after Running Man? Who knows? Yeah? 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.079 Running Man was a great movie. Schwarzenegger had had had 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:32.640 an epic run in the eighties, oh eighties to like 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:38.000 mid nineties. Another Governor Schwarzenegger, Another the Governator, the Governator, 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.640 and uh Man. Bill Burr used to have the best 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.160 bit on on Schwarzenegger about like this, of course this 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:45.880 guy thought he could get away with cheating. Like look 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.800 look what he accomplished. You Like, look he comes to 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.000 this country, he becomes an actor in a language he 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.880 could barely speak. That was like the whole bit. Of 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.160 course he thought he would just keep conquering everything was 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.080 a I'm butchering the bit. But look up the Bill 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:04.640 Burr Schwartzenegg, he's conan Yeah, man, True lies is one 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:09.160 of my favors too. Twins, Twins Classic.

That's when Terminator the Terminators 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:19.600 I mean, let's epic Terminator two hands down, it still 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.199 holds up Terminator two. It's like a rare It's a 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.880 rare time where the sequels better than the original. Is 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.040 there anything else like that?

When this comes out, 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:47.840 everyone's gonna be like, yeah, we all saw it. Julian 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.760 and I haven't seen it yet, so I am jealous, 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.240 and I might. I might put out there it's better 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.800 than the first, and I've heard I've heard it the better. 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.520 I mean Rooster and goose baby, don't tell me, don't 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.200 give it away. But Val Kilmer does make a cameo, 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.320 right full cameo. Fuck. I shed, I shed a tear. 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:10.160 I love Val Kilma. I cried a little. Damn. It 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.040 hit me in like it really did, because you know 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.040 everything that he's going through. You know, it's his documentary. 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.520 If you haven't seen his incredible val It's on Amazon. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.360 It's worth a watch. I gotta check it out. He's 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.800 he's had a he's had a cool life. I mean Iceman, 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.679 Iceman is Iceman bro Let's get into the teams. We 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.920 got the nineteen ninety eight Texas Longhorns nine and three, 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.560 coached by Mac Brown in his first year. They had 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.640 some big wins at Nebraska, who is number seven, and 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:42.240 Texas A and m notable losses at UCLA number six 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:46.160 Kansas State. Ricky Williams breaking the rushing record is really 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.600 what this is all about. Though. That's exactly because we 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.000 haven't seen a Texas team compete like this or even 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.360 the teams that were a big, big time team since 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:57.360 this period in life. I mean UCLA's number six beating them, 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:01.520 they beat Nebraska number seven. I mean college football has 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.880 changed so much, but this is the college football I remember, 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.839 and specifically with Ricky Williams running up and down that 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:12.640 field with the Texas Longhorns, I mean he kind of 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:17.560 reminded me of like modern day. At that time, Bo Jackson, 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.839 Yeah even played baseball. Jack What do we on on 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:25.440 baseball guy. Ricky played four years of minor league baseball Martinsville, 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.600 two years for the Piedmont bow Evils and then a 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:35.360 year bo Evils, slow A and Bativa. Where is that? Nope, 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:39.040 that doesn't That is the BA TVA muck Dogs and 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.640 the muff Dogs. The muff Dogs, muck dogs. We have 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:48.360 dirty minds here, Jesus, the muff Dogs. This is this 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:53.959 is their celebration. Yeah. And a fun fact, I actually 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.760 saw Ricky in his days with the bow Evils. Man, 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.480 I think I got to meet Ricky. That was about 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.680 four or five. Oh wow, I just remember Ricky, your baby, 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:08.400 bursting through the type baseball pants with those big old thighs. Yeah, 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.360 he looks so strong. Oh my god. Yeah, a baseball 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.880 polyester can't hold a dude like that. Not no, no way. 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.680 Could you imagine himing some pinstripes. He would have looked beautiful. 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:25.280 Oh but this game, in particular was the game where 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.120 he beats the all time career record for yards with 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:32.520 six thousand and eighty two, needed sixty three to beat 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.320 Tony dor Set. Goes out and does that on a 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:40.320 on like a sixty eight yard touchdown, gets the record, 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.680 wins the Heisman this year, was supposed to leave the 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:48.960 year before, Like this tells you with all these these 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.400 little stories you hear about him at Texas, which we're 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.640 going to try to get into. This guy just love 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.320 college football. Yeah, I mean, how do you turn down? 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.920 Can you ever? Can you relate to this at all? 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.000 Turning down a shot to go to the NFL, to 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.560 go back to college. I was never good enough in 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:08.440 college to even think that way, So, like, no, it's crazy, 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.040 And especially with what we're seeing nowadays. You know, you're 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.960 seeing guys sit out bowl games that don't want to 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.440 get hurt if they're not in a contending bowl game, 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.240 so they don't hurt their draft stock or put the 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.960 miles on them. I had forty four carries a game. 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:27.360 Forty four carries. I mean, some notable names that just 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.680 show us how different the game is too. Games different 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.760 and sores of the player. The player is different. I 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.440 mean in a good way. Guys are getting paid, Guys 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.840 are getting out there and making their money, and then 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.160 you know that's what happens when you live in a 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:46.360 capitalist government. Yeah, some notable notable names on Texas Major 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.960 Apple White got to be one of the coolest names 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.080 for sure. That the name you butchered, right, Yeah, I 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:55.480 butchered that name when you gave a speech to the team. Yeah, 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.119 what do you call them? Apple Wood? I called them Applewood. 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:03.360 I think we talked about it earlier, but they wanted 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.760 me and Amondola during the Super Bowl in Houston to 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:07.600 come talk to their team. We go in there. It 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:11.000 gives me an insane introduction and I go thanks, Coach 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:16.840 apple Would whole team fucking starts laughing. It was pretty bad. 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:20.920 Quentin Jammer played against him. He was a stud or late. 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:25.120 He played a long time. Gotta be one of the 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:30.360 best corner names. Gotta jam you Jammer, great porn, great 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.320 porn name, great corner name. Whatever you want the Jammer. 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.880 So the season narrative, Yeah, coming off a four and 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.640 seven season, Ricky was pretty much the entire offense of 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:44.160 that year in ninety seven, but also in this year, 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.400 this year, they go out, they get a way better. 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.000 They would have the were they're nine to three, go 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.640 out and play in the Cotton Bowl win over Mississippi State. 0:16:55.680 --> 0:17:00.000 Ricky beats all the records, wins the Heisman, sends up 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.480 off Mac Brown in Texas to come into what they 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.960 become over that next period of time where I think 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.080 they got a Nattie or two. Uh. And you know 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.159 he ends his college career with six five hundred and 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:17.760 ninety two yards seventy five touchdowns. That like, just thinking 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:21.960 about that many touchdowns hurts my neck. Like this dude 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.320 played so much. That's three seats he had. He had 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.080 more touchdowns in three seasons. And I know it's college 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.240 and I had in my I think my whole NFL career. 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.080 That's fucking nuts. That's too much. There's too many carries 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.080 in college. His goal he wanted to play really good 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:40.080 at college level. Jewels clocked in at thirty six career 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.399 receiving touchdowns. Thinks, thanks Jeck, just you just humbled me 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:47.600 even more. It's impressive. I think oppressive. It was a 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:50.159 third down guy. Yeah, you gotta move the chains to 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.320 score touchdowns. Clutch guy, that's my guy.

Their record was eleven and three, 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:05.840 coached by R. C. Slow Com. We got a pronunciation 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:09.040 on that jet. I believe it's slow Com, slow Com, 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:13.120 slow cumb jammer of a premature ejaculator, a slow come 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.920 big wins. They beat number two Nebraska.

This is the Big Twelve. 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:34.719 They were in the Big Twelve at the time. They 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.080 have some powerhouse teams at this at this time in 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.639 the history of college football, and some huge names on 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.840 this team. Who they got, I mean Dante Hall, that's 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:47.320 a name now the video game, the human Joystick, one 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:51.520 of the best, probably arguably the best punt returner in 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.159 the history of the game.

I believe that's the quote. He literally 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:22.159 said to the media. A tough guy. I love it. 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.840 That win too, from Dallas that win. The linebacker.

Yeah, most people just lump 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.399 us in for our own I mean, if that's as 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.280 anti semitic as it gets, we're doing great.

That's 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:53.760 what that's why we're talking. That's why we're doing this game. 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:55.680 There was a last second field goal to win in 0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:57.880 this game, but we're talking about Ricky. Come on, there's 0:21:57.920 --> 0:21:59.879 other There's a lot of games where you went on 0:21:59.880 --> 0:22:02.120 a field goal. There's not a lot of games where 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:05.480 you break the rushing record. Things we may have forgotten. 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:11.240 Texas was unranked entering this game. From nineteen eighty four 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:16.240 to two thousand, they only had two ten win seasons. 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:21.000 That's that's kind of odd. That doesn't sound right. Yeah, 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:24.120 it just feels like a bigger program. They and then 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:27.480 in what the two thousands to twenty ten's they they 0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:31.080 kind of they I think they stepped it up.
