  easy
• 2:11
  as

• 2:12
  I
• 2:12
  don't
• 2:12

• 2:13
  many
• 2:13
  things.
• 2:13
  You'll

  how
• 2:14
  smart
• 2:14
  you

• 2:15
  You

  got
• 2:15
  it
• 2:15
  right
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  last
• 2:16
  time.
• 2:17
  So
• 2:18
  why
• 2:19
  do
• 2:19
  I
• 2:19
  feel
• 2:19
  like
• 2:19
  I'm
• 2:19
  getting
• 2:19
  set
• 2:20
  up
• 2:20
  for
• 2:20
  a
• 2:20
  trick
• 2:20
  question
• 2:21
  here?
• 2:21
  No,
• 2:22
  I
• 2:22
  wouldn't
• 2:22
  do
• 2:22
  that
• 2:23
  to
• 2:23
  you.
• 2:23
  Won't
• 2:23
  be
• 2:23
  another
• 2:24
  Captain
• 2:24
  Obvious
• 2:25
  question.
• 2:28
  So,
• 2:28
  as
• 2:29
  you
• 2:29
  said,
• 2:29
  we're,
• 2:29
  we're
• 2:30
  going
• 2:30
  to
• 2:30
  be
• 2:30
  talking
• 2:30
  about
• 2:31
  football's
• 2:31
  100th
• 2:32
  anniversary,
• 2:33
  which
• 2:33
  was
• 2:34
  mistakenly
• 2:35
  celebrated
• 2:35
  in
• 2:35
  1969.
• 2:37
  But
• 2:38
  do
• 2:38
  you
• 2:39
  know
• 2:39
  why
• 2:39
  this
• 2:40
  particular
• 2:41
  podcast
• 2:41
  is
• 2:42
  special?
• 2:44
  Well,
• 2:44
  I
• 2:45
  think
• 2:45
  it's
• 2:45
  probably
• 2:46
  a.
• 2:46
  A
• 2:47
  big
• 2:47
  historic
• 2:48
  number
• 2:48
  of
• 2:49
  your
• 2:49
  visits
• 2:49
  to
• 2:50
  our
• 2:50
  thing.
• 2:50
  So
• 2:51
  I'm
• 2:51
  guessing
• 2:52
  probably,
• 2:52
  probably
• 2:53
  200.
• 2:54
  Maybe
• 2:54
  it
• 2:54
  is
• 2:55
  number
• 2:55
  200.
• 2:56
  Okay.
• 2:57
  All
• 2:57
  right.
• 2:57
  Well,
• 2:58
  that
• 2:58
  is
• 2:58
  quite
• 2:59
  a.
• 2:59
  A
• 2:59
  milestone,
• 3:00
  you
• 3:00
  know.
• 3:01
  Yeah,
• 3:02
  I
• 3:02
  mean,
• 3:02
  that's.
• 3:04
  Yeah.
• 3:06
  Most
• 3:06
  people
• 3:06
  don't
• 3:07
  want
• 3:07
  to
• 3:07
  have
• 3:07
  200
• 3:07
  conversations
• 3:08
  with
• 3:08
  me,
• 3:09
  so.
• 3:09
  Yeah,
• 3:11
  you're
• 3:12
  assuming
• 3:12
  that
• 3:12
  I
• 3:12
  did.
• 3:14
  I'm
• 3:14
  glad
• 3:14
  I,
• 3:15
  I
• 3:15
  send
• 3:15
  those
• 3:15
  drugs
• 3:16
  to
• 3:16
  your
• 3:16
  wife
• 3:16
  that
• 3:17
  she
• 3:17
  puts
• 3:17
  in
• 3:17
  your
• 3:17
  coffee
• 3:18
  in
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  morning.
• 3:18
  So
• 3:18
  you,
• 3:19
  you
• 3:19
  don't
• 3:20
  realize
• 3:20
  what's

• 5:20
  that
• 5:20
  kind
• 5:20
  of.
• 5:21
  The
• 5:22
  title
• 5:22
  that
• 5:22
  they
• 5:22
  gave
• 5:22
  her.
• 5:23
  That's
• 5:23
  hard
• 5:23
  to
• 5:23
  put
• 5:23
  on
• 5:23
  one
• 5:23
  of
• 5:23
  those
• 5:24
  sashes.
• 5:24
  That's
• 5:24
  a
• 5:24
  lot
• 5:25
  of
• 5:25
  words
• 5:25
  to
• 5:25
  put
• 5:25
  on
• 5:25
  there.
• 5:26
  Yeah,
• 5:26
  well,
• 5:27
  just
• 5:27
  use
• 5:27
  small
• 5:27
  letters.
• 5:30
  So,
• 5:30
  you
• 5:30
  know,
• 5:30
  but
• 5:31
  they
• 5:31
  had,
• 5:31
  they
• 5:31
  had
• 5:32
  pretty,
• 5:32
  you
• 5:32
  know,
• 5:33
  pretty
• 5:33
  significant,
• 5:34
  significant
• 5:35
  plans.
• 5:35
  They
• 5:35
  had.
• 5:37
  All
• 5:37
  these
• 5:37
  different
• 5:37
  schools
• 5:38
  were,
• 5:38
  were
• 5:39
  got
• 5:40
  centennial
• 5:41
  flags.
• 5:41
  Now,
• 5:42
  you
• 5:42
  know,
• 5:42
  I
• 5:42
  don't
• 5:42
  know
• 5:42
  if
• 5:42
  they
• 5:43
  had
• 5:43
  to
• 5:43
  pay
• 5:43
  for
• 5:43
  them
• 5:43
  or
• 5:43
  what.
• 5:44
  Each
• 5:44
  school
• 5:45
  got
• 5:45
  22
• 5:46
  medallions
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  give
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  their,
• 5:48
  you
• 5:48
  know,
• 5:48
  essentially
• 5:49
  their
• 5:50
  starting
• 5:50
  varsity
• 5:51
  players.
• 5:53
  And
• 5:53
  at
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  time
• 5:54
  the
• 5:54
  NCAA
• 5:55
  had
• 5:55
  like
• 5:55
  423
• 5:56
  schools.
• 5:56
  So
• 5:56
  that
• 5:56
  included,
• 5:57
  you
• 5:57
  know,
• 5:58
  what's
• 5:58
  now
• 5:58
  Division
• 5:58
  3,
• 5:59
  you
• 5:59
  know,
• 5:59
  2
• 6:00
  and
• 6:00
  1.
• 6:02
  There
• 6:02
  was,
• 6:02
  you
• 6:03
  know,
• 6:03
  postage.
• 6:03
  USPS
• 6:04
  issued
• 6:05
  a
• 6:05
  postage
• 6:05
  stamp
• 6:06
  in
• 6:06
  celebration.
• 6:09
  And
• 6:09
  then,
• 6:09
  you
• 6:09
  know,
• 6:10
  one
• 6:10
  of
• 6:10
  the
• 6:10
  big
• 6:10
  deals
• 6:11
  was
• 6:11
  that
• 6:11
  they
• 6:11
  were
• 6:12
  going
• 6:12
  to
• 6:12
  have
• 6:13
  every,
• 6:14
  they
• 6:14
  wanted
• 6:14
  every
• 6:14
  team
• 6:15
  to,
• 6:15
  instead
• 6:16
  of
• 6:16
  having
• 6:16
  their
• 6:17
  normal
• 6:17
  logo
• 6:18
  or
• 6:18
  in
• 6:18
  addition
• 6:18
  to
• 6:19
  their
• 6:19
  normal
• 6:19
  logo,
• 6:20
  they
• 6:20
  would
• 6:21
  wear
• 6:21
  these
• 6:21
  stickers
• 6:22
  on
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  side
• 6:23
  on
• 6:23
  their
• 6:23
  helmet
• 6:24
  that
• 6:25
  was
• 6:25
  like
• 6:25
  a
• 6:25
  football
• 6:26
  shape
• 6:26
  and
• 6:26
  it
• 6:26
  said
• 6:27
  100,
• 6:27
  you
• 6:28
  know,
• 6:28
  inside
• 6:29
  the
• 6:29
  shape
• 6:29
  of
• 6:30
  the
• 6:30
  football.
• 6:31
  And
• 6:31
  so
• 6:31
  there
• 6:32
  were
• 6:32
  teams
• 6:32
  that,
• 6:33
  some
• 6:33
  teams
• 6:33
  didn't
• 6:34
  wear
• 6:34
  them
• 6:34
  at
• 6:34
  all.
• 6:36
  There
• 6:37
  were
• 6:37
  teams
• 6:37
  like
• 6:38
  Texas
• 6:39
  had
• 6:40
  the
• 6:40
  sticker
• 6:41
  above
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  Longhorns,
• 6:43
  the
• 6:43
  Longhorns
• 6:44
  horns.
• 6:45
  There
• 6:45
  were
• 6:45
  teams
• 6:46
  that
• 6:46
  wore
• 6:46
  them
• 6:46
  on
• 6:46
  the
• 6:47
  front
• 6:47
  of
• 6:47
  the
• 6:47
  helmet.
• 6:47
  There
• 6:48
  were
• 6:48
  teams
• 6:48
  that
• 6:48
  wore
• 6:48
  Them
• 6:48
  on
• 6:48
  the
• 6:49
  back
• 6:49
  of
• 6:49
  the
• 6:49
  helmet.
• 6:50
  So
• 6:50
  it
• 6:50
  was
• 6:50
  kind
• 6:51
  of
• 6:51
  all
• 6:51
  over
• 6:51
  the
• 6:51
  place.
• 6:52
  And
• 6:52
  then,
• 6:52
  like,
• 6:52
  Navy
• 6:54
  didn't
• 6:54
  wear
• 6:54
  the
• 6:55
  sticker,
• 6:55
  but
• 6:55
  they.
• 6:56
  They
• 6:56
  all
• 6:57
  wore,
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  know,
• 6:58
  what,
• 6:59
  you
• 6:59
  know,
• 6:59
  are
• 7:00
  called
• 7:01
  TV
• 7:01
  numbers,
• 7:02
  right?
• 7:02
  And
• 7:02
  those
• 7:03
  were
• 7:03
  much
• 7:03
  more
• 7:03
  popular
• 7:04
  in
• 7:04
  the
• 7:05
  late
• 7:05
  50s
• 7:06
  and
• 7:06
  early
• 7:06
  60s,
• 7:07
  you
• 7:07
  know,
• 7:07
  like
• 7:07
  the
• 7:08
  Alabama
• 7:08
  numbers
• 7:09
  on
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  side
• 7:09
  of
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  helmet.
• 7:10
  So
• 7:11
  everybody
• 7:11
  wore
• 7:12
  100
• 7:12
  on
• 7:12
  the
• 7:13
  side
• 7:13
  of
• 7:13
  their
• 7:13
  helmets.
• 7:16
  So
• 7:17
  it
• 7:17
  was
• 7:17
  just
• 7:17
  one
• 7:17
  of
• 7:17
  those
• 7:18
  things
• 7:18
  where
• 7:18
  I.
• 7:18
  I
• 7:18
  don't
• 7:19
  know
• 7:19
  if
• 7:20
  I
• 7:20
  suspect
• 7:21
  it
• 7:21
  was
• 7:21
  just
• 7:21
  a
• 7:21
  combination
• 7:22
  of
• 7:22
  things
• 7:22
  like,
• 7:23
  you
• 7:23
  know,
• 7:25
  Vietnam
• 7:26
  and,
• 7:26
  you
• 7:27
  know,
• 7:27
  their
• 7:27
  assassinations
• 7:28
  in
• 7:28
  the
• 7:29
  60s
• 7:29
  and,
• 7:30
  you
• 7:30
  know,
• 7:30
  and
• 7:31
  several
• 7:31
  in
• 7:31
  68.
• 7:32
  And
• 7:32
  so
• 7:32
  I
• 7:32
  just
• 7:33
  think
• 7:33
  the
• 7:33
  mood
• 7:33
  of
• 7:33
  the
• 7:34
  country
• 7:34
  wasn't.
• 7:35
  Wasn't
• 7:36
  there,
• 7:36
  you
• 7:37
  know,
• 7:37
  to
• 7:37
  celebrate
• 7:37
  100
• 7:38
  years
• 7:38
  of
• 7:38
  football,
• 7:38
  you
• 7:39
  know,
• 7:39
  and
• 7:40
  so
• 7:40
  it
• 7:40
  probably.
• 7:40
  It
• 7:40
  wasn't
• 7:41
  anything
• 7:41
  like
• 7:41
  the.
• 7:42
  That
• 7:42
  the
• 7:42
  NCAA
• 7:43
  screwed
• 7:43
  up.
• 7:43
  It
• 7:43
  was
• 7:43
  just
• 7:44
  like
• 7:44
  they're,
• 7:44
  they.
• 7:44
  It
• 7:45
  just
• 7:45
  never
• 7:45
  gathered
• 7:46
  enthusiasm.
• 7:48
  And
• 7:49
  so
• 7:49
  I
• 7:49
  don't,
• 7:50
  you
• 7:50
  know,
• 7:50
  I
• 7:50
  don't
• 7:50
  really
• 7:50
  have
• 7:51
  any
• 7:51
  sense
• 7:51
  of
• 7:51
  how
• 7:52
  many
• 7:52
  teams
• 7:52
  wore
• 7:53
  them,
• 7:53
  you
• 7:54
  know,
• 7:54
  wore
• 7:54
  those
• 7:54
  numbers
• 7:55
  on
• 7:55
  their
• 7:55
  helmets.
• 7:55
  But
• 7:56
  a
• 7:56
  lot
• 7:56
  of
• 7:56
  them,
• 7:56
  you
• 7:56
  know,
• 7:57
  either
• 7:57
  never
• 7:57
  wore
• 7:57
  them.
• 7:58
  They'd
• 7:59
  wear
• 7:59
  them
• 7:59
  only
• 7:59
  for
• 8:00
  certain
• 8:00
  games,
• 8:02
  maybe
• 8:02
  certain
• 8:03
  uniform
• 8:03
  combinations.
• 8:04
  They
• 8:04
  wear
• 8:04
  them
• 8:04
  for
• 8:04
  home
• 8:05
  games
• 8:05
  or
• 8:05
  away
• 8:05
  games
• 8:05
  or
• 8:06
  whatever.
• 8:07
  So
• 8:07
  it's
• 8:08
  kind
• 8:08
  of
• 8:08
  all
• 8:08
  over
• 8:08
  the
• 8:08
  map.
• 8:09
  But.
• 8:10
  But
• 8:10
  the
• 8:10
  whole
• 8:11
  thing
• 8:11
  just
• 8:11
  never
• 8:12
  really,
• 8:13
  you
• 8:14
  know,
• 8:14
  got
• 8:14
  that,
• 8:15
  you
• 8:15
  know,
• 8:15
  really
• 8:16
  took
• 8:16
  off.
• 8:16
  And
• 8:17
  you
• 8:17
  may
• 8:17
  remember
• 8:18
  that
• 8:19
  probably
• 8:20
  two
• 8:20
  years
• 8:21
  ago,
• 8:21
  maybe
• 8:21
  even
• 8:21
  three
• 8:22
  years
• 8:22
  ago,
• 8:23
  there
• 8:23
  was
• 8:23
  a
• 8:24
  series
• 8:24
  of
• 8:24
  like
• 8:24
  a
• 8:25
  cartoon
• 8:25
  series
• 8:26
  that
• 8:27
  published
• 8:27
  in
• 8:27
  1969
• 8:29
  that
• 8:29
  ran,
• 8:31
  I
• 8:31
  think
• 8:31
  it
• 8:31
  started
• 8:31
  before
• 8:32
  the
• 8:32
  season,
• 8:32
  but
• 8:32
  then
• 8:33
  ran
• 8:33
  through
• 8:33
  throughout
• 8:34
  the
• 8:34
  season,
• 8:35
  more
• 8:35
  or
• 8:35
  less,
• 8:35
  you
• 8:35
  know,
• 8:35
  a
• 8:36
  cartoon
• 8:36
  every,
• 8:36
  every
• 8:37
  decade.
• 8:38
  And
• 8:38
  then
• 8:38
  like,
• 8:39
  I
• 8:39
  did
• 8:39
  a
• 8:39
  series
• 8:39
  showing
• 8:40
  the
• 8:40
  cartoon,
• 8:41
  you
• 8:41
  know,
• 8:41
  or
• 8:41
  cartoons,
• 8:42
  because
• 8:42
  I
• 8:42
  think
• 8:43
  there
• 8:43
  were
• 8:43
  multiple,
• 8:43
  maybe
• 8:44
  two
• 8:44
  a
• 8:44
  week
• 8:44
  or
• 8:44
  something
• 8:45
  like
• 8:45
  that.
• 8:45
  But
• 8:45
  it
• 8:45
  just
• 8:45
  went
• 8:46
  through
• 8:46
  the
• 8:46
  history
• 8:46
  of
• 8:46
  the
• 8:46
  game
• 8:47
  from,
• 8:48
  you
• 8:48
  know,
• 8:49
  1869
• 8:49
  to
• 8:50
  1969.
• 8:52
  So
• 8:52
  that
• 8:52
  was
• 8:52
  kind
• 8:52
  of
• 8:52
  cool.
• 8:53
  So,
• 8:53
  I
• 8:53
  mean,
• 8:53
  it's
• 8:54
  not
• 8:54
  like
• 8:54
  the
• 8:54
  NCAA
• 8:55
  was
• 8:55
  all
• 8:55
  alone.
• 8:55
  You
• 8:56
  know,
• 8:56
  these
• 8:56
  were
• 8:56
  syndicated
• 8:57
  articles
• 8:57
  appearing
• 8:57
  in
• 8:58
  newspapers
• 8:58
  all
• 8:58
  over
• 8:59
  the
• 8:59
  place.
• 9:00
  So,
• 9:01
  you
• 9:01
  know,
• 9:01
  so
• 9:01
  there's
• 9:02
  a
• 9:02
  lot
• 9:02
  of
• 9:02
  stuff
• 9:02
  going
• 9:02
  on,
• 9:02
  but
• 9:03
  just
• 9:03
  never
• 9:03
  really,
• 9:05
  never
• 9:05
  really
• 9:05
  took
• 9:06
  off.
• 9:08
  Oh,
• 9:08
  that's.
• 9:09
  That's
• 9:09
  kind
• 9:10
  of
• 9:10
  a
• 9:10
  shame.
• 9:10
  I
• 9:10
  guess
• 9:11
  maybe
• 9:11
  they.
• 9:13
  If
• 9:13
  it
• 9:13
  would
• 9:14
  have
• 9:14
  been
• 9:14
  more
• 9:14
  like
• 9:14
  today
• 9:14
  where
• 9:15
  social
• 9:15
  media
• 9:16
  and,
• 9:16
  you
• 9:17
  know,
• 9:17
  people
• 9:17
  are
• 9:17
  on
• 9:17
  the
• 9:18
  Internet
• 9:18
  and,
• 9:18
  you
• 9:19
  know,
• 9:19
