  Speaker 1: Never was a yeah, you know, but the longer I've
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: been up here, in the more games we win, the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: more you realize how hard it is to be who
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: they are and have to do what they do. Nobody's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: ever happy with that team. And even the Red Sox
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: people are delusion like they're never good enough usually to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: win the World Series. But everybody thinks that they're going
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to win the World Series every year because you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: they have passionate fans. But to be in New York
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and you know where you are expected to win the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Super the World Series every year because that's what they've done.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And the Steelers back then, and the Cowboys back then,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the Niners back then, it was unbelievable. I mean, growing up,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: you know it was. And then the same thing was
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: happening in baseball, you know, the Cincinnati Reds and the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles As we could never get to the Super
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: We could never get to the World Series because they
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: didn't have playoffs back then, So we could never get
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to the World Series because we couldn't be the Reds
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and we couldn't beat the Dodgers. You know, then all
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, we got good enough when
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we want it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: But it was great dynasties.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Man, I really appreciate them, but you know they go away.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: We've been saying that for a while.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Not well, I know, but they they go away. You
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: know if like even if you do everything right, they
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: they they go away. You know, just talking to Gym
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: about like the Montreal Canadians, like nobody won more Stanley
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Cup titles than they did.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: They don't. They don't win anything anymore.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: They haven't won anything. A Canadian team hasn't won since
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: ninety three.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I mean the Cowboy was the last time
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: they won. I think Roger Stolbach was playing, Okay, was
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Troy Aikman.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's been thirty years.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: It's been thirty years, thirty years, and they're America's team, right,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: not anymore, not anymore. Right, It's just and that's why
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you have to admire like teams like the Steelers, the Packers,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you know, the Niners, Patriots. The Patriots were good for
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a long long time. It's hard, it's so hard, you know,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and you got to really take care of it, and
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you really got to work hard at it because it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: can't last. Nothing lasts forever, you know. But some dynasties,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: when they fall, they fall hard and they never come back.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Others. Look at the Patriots, you know, everybody thought they
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: were dead. In the water.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And it only took this guy, you know, it only
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: took coach Vabel one year and they're back in the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: super Bowl. So some I always attributed to the owners,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: like if the owners are really, really good, they never
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: those dynasties don't collapse because the owners won't let them.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: If they stay out of it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: If they stay out of it, it's like a it's
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: like a college president, you know, most of the time,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: if they just stay out of your way.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they need a university.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: You can get a lot done, but it's just when
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the politics or the the other stuff gets in the way,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that's when it gets yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: And you got to have some constants and at least
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: from your standpoint, the concerts for you and Chris.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Well and you have to have you have to have
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a really good coach, you have to have iconic players,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and you have to have great ownership, you know, great
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: college presidents. I've been fortunate, you know, I was talking
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to Jim about I've had like six or seven you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: six or seven.
• 4:44

  Speaker 1: he was two for two. He did all right, he
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: did yeah, he did all right, and you got to yeah,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and he just I mean, he's just a great, great, great,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: great man. But yet you got to hire people, and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: then you've got to get out of the way. You
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: can't hire people and then tell him what to do,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: which is what a lot of that's why this college
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: sports thing is going on. Hey wire, It's like athletic
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: directors and conference commissioners used to be in charge. Then
• 5:23

  Speaker 1: you know, how much do presidents really know about the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: inner workings of college athletics And.

  Speaker 2: It's all driven by one sport we oh yeah.
