  home.
• 1:15
  Today
• 1:16
  we're
• 1:16
  digging
• 1:16
  up
• 1:17
  the
• 1:17
  wild
• 1:17
  history
• 1:17

• 1:22
  Tim,
• 1:22
  welcome
• 1:23
  to
• 1:23
  the
• 1:23
  Pig
• 1:23
  Penn.
• 1:24
  Hey
• 1:25
  there.
• 1:25
  Look
• 1:25
  forward
• 1:26
  to
• 1:26
  chatting
• 1:27
  once
• 1:27
  again.
• 1:27
  And
• 1:28
  I
• 1:29
  would
• 1:29
  invite
• 1:29
  your
• 1:30
  listeners
• 1:30
  to
• 1:31
  sit
• 1:31
  back
• 1:32
  and
• 1:32
  listen
• 1:32
  to
• 1:32
  a
• 1:33
  tall
• 1:33
  tale.
• 1:34
  To
• 1:34
  a
• 1:34
  tall
• 1:34
  tale.
• 1:35
  I
• 1:35
  think
• 1:35
  it's
• 1:35
  going
• 1:35
  to
• 1:35
  be
• 1:36
  like
• 1:36
  an
• 1:36
  all
• 1:36
  American
• 1:37
  tall
• 1:37
  tale.
• 1:38
  That's
• 1:38
  right.
• 1:39
  All
• 1:39
  American
• 1:39
  there
• 1:40
  is.
• 1:40
  That's
• 1:41
  right.
• 1:42
  Well,
• 1:42
  it's
• 1:43
  really
• 1:43
  all
• 1:43
  American
• 1:43
  in
• 1:44
  this
• 1:44
  case
• 1:44
  because
• 1:44
  you
• 1:44
  wrote
• 1:45
  a
• 1:45
  tidbit
• 1:45
  recently
• 1:46
  called
• 1:47
  Standing
• 1:47
  Tall
• 1:47
  among
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  AFC
• 1:49
  preseason
• 1:50
  camps.
• 1:50
  That's
• 1:50
  the
• 1:51
  only
• 1:51
  All
• 1:51
  American
• 1:52
  football
• 1:52
  conference,
• 1:53
  if
• 1:53
  I'm
• 1:53
  not
• 1:53
  mistaken.
• 1:54
  And
• 1:54
  so
• 1:54
  we'd
• 1:55
  love
• 1:55
  to
• 1:55
  hear
• 1:55
  about
• 1:55
  this
• 1:55
  story.
• 1:56
  Yeah,
• 1:58
  yeah.
• 1:58
  So
• 1:58
  just
• 1:59
  to
• 1:59
  set
• 1:59
  it
• 1:59
  up
• 2:00
  a
• 2:00
  little
• 2:00
  bit,
• 2:00
  there's,
• 2:01
  you
• 2:01
  know,
• 2:01
  preseason
• 2:02
  camp.
• 2:03
  I
• 2:03
  mean,
• 2:04
  there's
• 2:04
  a
• 2:05
  reason
• 2:05
  they
• 2:05
  call
• 2:05
  it
• 2:05
  training
• 2:06
  camp
• 2:07
  and
• 2:08
  it's
• 2:08
  because
• 2:09
  people
• 2:09
  literally
• 2:10
  used
• 2:10
  to
• 2:10
  go
• 2:11
  camping
• 2:12
  during
• 2:12
  the
• 2:12
  preseason,
• 2:13
  you
• 2:13
  know,
• 2:13
  or
• 2:13
  they
• 2:13
  go
• 2:14
  out
• 2:14
  to
• 2:14
  some
• 2:14
  cottage
• 2:15
  or
• 2:15
  you
• 2:15
  know,
• 2:15
  whatever
• 2:16
  it
• 2:16
  would
• 2:16
  be.
• 2:16
  But
• 2:17
  that
• 2:17
  all
• 2:17
  started
• 2:17
  like
• 2:18
  1890s,
• 2:18
  you
• 2:19
  know,
• 2:19
  Eastern
• 2:20
  colleges
• 2:20
  and,
• 2:21
  and
• 2:21
  you
• 2:21
  know,
• 2:21
  actually
• 2:22
  Nebraska
• 2:22
  is
• 2:23
  one
• 2:23
  of
• 2:23
  the
• 2:23
  first
• 2:23
  ones
• 2:23
  too.
• 2:24
  But
• 2:25
  they,
• 2:26
  you
• 2:26
  know,
• 2:26
  before
• 2:27
  the
• 2:27
  college
• 2:28
  opened,
• 2:29
  the
• 2:30
  team,
• 2:30
  you
• 2:31
  know,
• 2:31
  would
• 2:31
  go
• 2:31
  off
• 2:31
  to
• 2:32
  some,
• 2:32
  you
• 2:32
  know,
• 2:32
  camp
• 2:32
  along
• 2:33
  some
• 2:33
  river
• 2:33
  or
• 2:34
  go
• 2:34
  to
• 2:34
  some
• 2:34
  place
• 2:34
  where
• 2:35
  there's
• 2:35
  like
• 2:36
  cabins
• 2:36
  or
• 2:37
  whatever,
• 2:37
  but
• 2:38
  to
• 2:38
  get
• 2:38
  away.
• 2:38
  And
• 2:39
  it
• 2:39
  was
• 2:39
  kind
• 2:39
  of
• 2:39
  a
• 2:40
  whole
• 2:40
  thing
• 2:40
  of
• 2:40
  like
• 2:41
  training
• 2:42
  and
• 2:42
  training
• 2:43
  table
• 2:43
  early
• 2:44
  on
• 2:45
  was
• 2:45
  really
• 2:45
  a
• 2:46
  kind
• 2:47
  of
• 2:47
  a,
• 2:47
  it
• 2:47
  was
• 2:47
  like
• 2:47
  a
• 2:47
  spartan
• 2:48
  existence.
• 2:48
  You
• 2:49
  know,
• 2:49
  you
• 2:49
  couldn't
• 2:49
  smoke,
• 2:50
  you
• 2:50
  couldn't
• 2:50
  have
• 2:51
  alcohol.
• 2:52
  There's
• 2:52
  some
• 2:52
  other
• 2:53
  things
• 2:53
  you
• 2:53
  were
• 2:53
  supposed
• 2:54
  to
• 2:54
  not
• 2:54
  do
• 2:54
  as
• 2:55
  well,
• 2:56
  but.
• 2:58
  And
• 2:58
  then,
• 2:58
  you
• 2:58
  know,
• 2:59
  a
• 2:59
  lot
• 2:59
  of
• 2:59
  teams
• 2:59
  had
• 3:00
  these
• 3:00
  kind
• 3:00
  of
• 3:01
  bizarre
• 3:01
  diet,
• 3:02
  diets
• 3:02
  kind
• 3:03
  of
• 3:03
  like,
• 3:03
  you
• 3:03
  know,
• 3:03
  we
• 3:03
  have
• 3:03
  all
• 3:04
  these
• 3:04
  bizarre
• 3:05
  dietary
• 3:05
  fads
• 3:06
  now
• 3:06
  and
• 3:07
  then
• 3:07
  coaches
• 3:08
  and
• 3:08
  trainers
• 3:08
  had
• 3:08
  weird
• 3:09
  ideas
• 3:09
  like
• 3:09
  don't
• 3:10
  eat
• 3:10
  cauliflower
• 3:10
  or
• 3:11
  whatever.
• 3:11
  You
• 3:11
  know,
• 3:11
  there
• 3:12
  really
• 3:12
  were
• 3:12
  some
• 3:12
  kind
• 3:12
  of
• 3:13
  bizarre
• 3:13
  ideas.
• 3:14
  But,
• 3:14
  you
• 3:15
  know,
• 3:15
  so
• 3:15
  it
• 3:15
  was
• 3:15
  a
• 3:15
  way
• 3:16
  to
• 3:16
  get
• 3:16
  it,
• 3:16
  get,
• 3:16
  get
• 3:17
  all
• 3:17
  the,
• 3:17
  get
• 3:17
  the
• 3:17
  team
• 3:18
  together,
• 3:18
  a
• 3:18
  little
• 3:18
  build
• 3:18
  a
• 3:19
  little
• 3:19
  camaraderie.
• 3:20
  But
• 3:20
  there
• 3:20
  wasn't
• 3:20
  really,
• 3:21
  you
• 3:21
  know,
• 3:21
  initially
• 3:22
  training
• 3:22
  camp
• 3:22
  was
• 3:22
  not
• 3:22
  about
• 3:23
  football.
• 3:23
  It
• 3:23
  was
• 3:23
  more
• 3:24
  about
• 3:24
  long
• 3:24
  walks,
• 3:25
  swimming,
• 3:26
  stretching
• 3:27
  out.
• 3:27
  You
• 3:27
  know,
• 3:27
  maybe
• 3:27
  they'd
• 3:28
  do
• 3:28
  some
• 3:28
  falling
• 3:28
  on
• 3:29
  the
• 3:29
  football
• 3:29
  drills.
• 3:29
  But
• 3:30
  it
• 3:30
  was,
• 3:30
  you
• 3:31
  know,
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  lot
• 3:31
  of
• 3:31
  times
• 3:31
  they
• 3:31
  didn't
• 3:31
  even
• 3:32
  bring
• 3:32
  a
• 3:32
  football
• 3:32
  out
• 3:32
  there.
• 3:33
  It's
• 3:33
  just
• 3:33
  all
• 3:33
  about
• 3:34
  you
• 3:34
  know,
• 3:35
  kind
• 3:35
  of
• 3:35
  getting
• 3:35
  your
• 3:36
  body
• 3:36
  going
• 3:37
  again
• 3:38
  now.
• 3:39
  So
• 3:39
  the
• 3:39
  colleges
• 3:39
  did
• 3:40
  it,
• 3:40
  had
• 3:41
  training
• 3:41
  camp,
• 3:43
  you
• 3:43
  know,
• 3:43
  for
• 3:43
  30
• 3:44
  years
• 3:44
  or
• 3:44
  whatever.
• 3:45
  And
• 3:45
  then
• 3:46
  when
• 3:47
  the.
• 3:47
  The
• 3:47
  pros
• 3:48
  started
• 3:48
  doing
• 3:48
  it
• 3:48
  in
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  1930s,
• 3:49
  so
• 3:50
  that,
• 3:50
  you
• 3:50
  know,
• 3:50
  by
• 3:50
  that
• 3:51
  time,
• 3:51
  they're
• 3:51
  starting
• 3:51
  to
• 3:51
  make
• 3:51
  a
• 3:52
  little
• 3:52
  bit
• 3:52
  of
• 3:52
  money
• 3:52
  and
• 3:52
  they
• 3:53
  could,
• 3:53
  you
• 3:53
  know,
• 3:53
  maybe
• 3:53
  afford
• 3:54
  it
• 3:54
  a
• 3:54
  little
• 3:54
  bit.
• 3:56
  And,
• 3:56
  you
• 3:56
  know,
• 3:56
  at
• 3:57
  that
• 3:57
  time,
• 3:57
  the
• 3:57
  only
• 3:57
  pro
• 3:58
  teams
• 3:58
  were
• 3:58
  in
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  Northeast
• 3:59
  and
• 3:59
  the
• 3:59
  Midwest
• 4:00
  and
• 4:01
  at
• 4:01
  least,
• 4:01
  you
• 4:01
  know,
• 4:01
  the
• 4:02
  NFL
• 4:02
  type
• 4:03
  teams.
• 4:03
  So
• 4:04
  they
• 4:04
  typically
• 4:04
  capped
• 4:05
  someplace
• 4:05
  that
• 4:05
  was
• 4:06
  cooler.
• 4:06
  So
• 4:08
  New
• 4:08
  York
• 4:08
  had
• 4:09
  a
• 4:09
  fair
• 4:09
  amount.
• 4:09
  Wisconsin,
• 4:10
  Minnesota,
• 4:10
  Michigan.
• 4:11
  You
• 4:11
  know,
• 4:12
  that's
• 4:12
  where
• 4:12
  people
• 4:13
  would
• 4:13
  try
• 4:13
  to
• 4:13
  go
• 4:13
  just
• 4:14
  to.
• 4:14
  There
• 4:14
  were
• 4:15
  lakes,
• 4:15
  there
• 4:15
  were
• 4:15
  cottages
• 4:16
  and
• 4:16
  cooler
• 4:17
  weather.
• 4:19
  So
• 4:19
  then,
• 4:20
  you
• 4:20
  know,
• 4:20
  now.
• 4:21
  Now
• 4:22
  hardly
• 4:22
  anybody.
• 4:22
  There's
• 4:23
  like,
• 4:23
  Dallas
• 4:23
  is
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  only
• 4:24
  team
• 4:24
  that
• 4:25
  travels
• 4:25
  more
• 4:25
  than
• 4:26
  an
• 4:26
  hour
• 4:26
  away
• 4:27
  from
• 4:28
  their
• 4:28
  home
• 4:28
  stadium
• 4:29
  to
• 4:29
  have.
• 4:29
  They
• 4:30
  go
• 4:30
  to
• 4:30
  California,
• 4:31
  right?
• 4:31
  Dallas
• 4:32
  does.
• 4:32
  Yeah,
• 4:32
  yeah,
• 4:32
  yeah.
• 4:34
  And,
• 4:35
  you
• 4:35
  know,
• 4:35
  because
• 4:35
  everybody
• 4:36
  else
• 4:36
  is
• 4:36
  all
• 4:36
  focused
• 4:37
  on,
• 4:37
  you
• 4:37
  know,
• 4:37
  stay
• 4:37
  in
• 4:38
  town.
• 4:38
  They
• 4:38
  got
• 4:39
  indoor
• 4:39
  training
• 4:40
  facilities
• 4:40
  or
• 4:41
  outdoor,
• 4:41
  but,
• 4:41
  you
• 4:42
  know,
• 4:42
  they
• 4:42

• 4:43
  all
• 4:43
  their

• 4:44
  their

  other
• 4:44
  training
• 4:45
  and

  medical
• 4:45
  and
• 4:46
  whatever,
• 4:46
  you
• 4:46
  know,
• 4:47
  so.
• 4:48
  And,
• 4:48
  you
• 4:48
  know,
• 4:49
  I
• 4:49
  can
• 4:49
  see
• 4:49
  it,
• 4:49
  that
• 4:49
  it
• 4:49
  makes
• 4:49
  sense,
• 4:50
  but.
• 4:51
  But,
• 4:51
  you
• 4:52
  know,
• 4:52
  back
• 4:52
  in.
• 4:53
  Right
• 4:53
  after
• 4:53
  World
• 4:53
  War
• 4:53
  II,
• 4:54
  the
• 4:54
  AAFC
• 4:55
  got
• 4:55
  started.
• 4:56
  So
• 4:56
  their
• 4:56
  first
• 4:56
  season
• 4:57
  to
• 4:57
  play
• 4:57
  was
• 4:57
  1946.
• 4:59
  And
• 4:59
  so
• 5:00
  it
• 5:00
  was
• 5:00
  one
• 5:00
  of
• 5:00
  those
• 5:00
  things
• 5:01
  where
• 5:01
  all
• 5:01
  of
• 5:01
  a
• 5:01
  sudden
• 5:01
  we've
• 5:01
  got
• 5:02
  eight
• 5:02
  new
• 5:02
  teams,
• 5:03
  eight
• 5:03
  new
• 5:03
  pro
• 5:03
  football
• 5:04
  teams,
• 5:04
  and
• 5:04
  they're
• 5:05
  all
• 5:05
  looking
• 5:05
  for
• 5:06
  a
• 5:06
  place
• 5:06
  to
• 5:06
  have
• 5:07
  training
• 5:07
  camp.
• 5:08
  And
• 5:09
  so
• 5:10
  some
• 5:10
  of
• 5:10
  them,
• 5:10
  like.
• 5:12
  Some
• 5:12
  of
• 5:12
  them
• 5:13
  plan
• 5:13
  to
• 5:13
  stay
• 5:13
  close
• 5:14
  to
• 5:14
  where
• 5:14
  they
• 5:15
  were
• 5:15
  based.
• 5:16
  But
• 5:16
  for
• 5:17
  some
• 5:17
  reason,
• 5:17
  like,
• 5:17
  eight
• 5:18
  of
• 5:18
  five,
• 5:18
  five
• 5:19
  of
• 5:19
  the
• 5:19
  eight
• 5:19
  ended
• 5:20
  up,
• 5:20
  like,
• 5:20
  in
• 5:21
  the
• 5:21
  Midwest,
• 5:21
  I'm
• 5:21
  sorry,
• 5:22
  in
• 5:22
  the
• 5:22
  Northwest
• 5:23
  or
• 5:23
  in
• 5:23
  California
• 5:24
  maybe,
• 5:25
  that
• 5:25
  was
• 5:25
  to
• 5:25
  allow
• 5:25
  them
• 5:26
  to
• 5:26
  scrimmage
• 5:26
  a
• 5:26
  little
• 5:26
  bit.
• 5:27
  And
• 5:27
  they
• 5:27
  played
• 5:27
  some
• 5:28
  preseason
• 5:28
  games
• 5:28
  out
• 5:29
  there,
• 5:29
  too,
• 5:30
  but
• 5:30
  they
• 5:30
  all,
• 5:31
  you
• 5:31
  know,
• 5:31
  so
• 5:31
  they
• 5:31
  end
• 5:31
  up
• 5:32
  out
• 5:32
  there.
• 5:33
  So
• 5:33
  Bend,
• 5:33
  Oregon
• 5:34
  was
• 5:34
  one
• 5:35
  of
• 5:35
  the
• 5:35
  locations,
• 5:35
  and
• 5:36
  they.
• 5:37
  They
• 5:37
  hosted
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  Brooklyn
• 5:38
  Dodgers.
• 5:41
  And
• 5:42
  so.
• 5:42
  And
• 5:43
  they
• 5:43
  had,
• 5:43
  like,
• 5:44
  there
• 5:45
  was
• 5:45
  this
• 5:45
  competition
• 5:46
  among
• 5:46
  these
• 5:46
  towns
• 5:47
  trying
• 5:47
  to,
• 5:47
  you
• 5:47
  know,
• 5:47
  how
• 5:48
  do
• 5:48
  we
• 5:48
  get
• 5:49
  one
• 5:49
  of
• 5:49
  these
• 5:49
  teams?
• 5:50
  And
• 5:50
  so
• 5:51
  Bend,
• 5:51
  Oregon,
• 5:52
  guaranteed,
• 5:53
  you
• 5:53
  know,
• 5:53
  like,
• 5:54
  $9,000
• 5:55
  in
• 5:55
  gate
• 5:55
  receipts
• 5:56
  for,
• 5:56
  you
• 5:57
  know,
• 5:57
  preseason
• 5:57
  scrimmages.
• 5:59
  They
• 5:59
  gave
• 5:59
  the
• 6:00
  team
• 6:00
  country
• 6:00
  club
• 6:01
  privileges
• 6:01
  at
• 6:02
  the
• 6:02
  local
• 6:03
  Bend
• 6:04
  Country
• 6:04
  Club
• 6:04
  or
• 6:04
  whatever
• 6:05
  it
• 6:05
  was
• 6:05
  out
• 6:05
  there.
• 6:06
  And
• 6:06
  then
• 6:06
  they
• 6:07
  also
• 6:07
  had,
• 6:07
  like,
• 6:07
  a
• 6:07
  discounted
• 6:08
  hotel
• 6:08
  and
• 6:09
  resort
• 6:09
  stays.
• 6:10
  Then
• 6:11
  you
• 6:11
  had
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  Buffalo
• 6:12
  Bison
• 6:13
  up
• 6:13
  in
• 6:13
  your
• 6:14
  neck
• 6:14
  of
• 6:14
  the
• 6:14
  woods,
• 6:15
  and
• 6:16
  they
• 6:16
  were
• 6:17
  supposed
• 6:17
  to
• 6:17
  train
• 6:17
  at
• 6:17
  Saint
• 6:18
  Bonaventure,
• 6:18
  but
• 6:19
  then
• 6:20
  Saint
• 6:20
  Bonaventure
• 6:21
  had
• 6:21
  so
• 6:21
  many
• 6:22
  veterans
• 6:23
  returning
• 6:23
  from
• 6:24
  the
• 6:24
  war
• 6:24
  that
• 6:24
  they
• 6:24
  didn't
• 6:25
  have
• 6:25
  you
• 6:25
  know,
• 6:26
  dormitory
• 6:26
  space,
• 6:27
  whatever.
• 6:28
  So
• 6:28
  then
• 6:28
  they
• 6:29
  said,
• 6:29
  okay,
• 6:30
  we're
• 6:30
  gonna
• 6:30
  go.
• 6:30
  And
• 6:31
  they.
• 6:31
  They
• 6:31
  instead
• 6:31
  found
• 6:32
  a
• 6:32
  place
• 6:32
  in
• 6:33
  Oconomowoc,
• 6:34
  Wisconsin.
• 6:36
  And
• 6:36
  I
• 6:37
  can
• 6:37
  pronounce
• 6:37
  that
• 6:38
  only
• 6:38
  because
• 6:38
  I
• 6:38
  grew
• 6:38
  up
• 6:39
  maybe
• 6:40
  40
• 6:40
  miles
• 6:40
  east
• 6:41
  of
• 6:41
  there.
• 6:41
  I
• 6:42
  just
• 6:42
  heard
• 6:42
  you
• 6:42
  say
• 6:42
  it,
• 6:42
  and
• 6:43
  I
• 6:43
  don't
• 6:43
  think
• 6:43
  I
• 6:43
  could
• 6:43
  pronounce
• 6:44
  it.
• 6:44
  Yeah,
• 6:45
  well,
• 6:46
  one
• 6:46
  of
• 6:47
  my.
• 6:47
  And
• 6:47
  I
• 6:47
  wrote
• 6:47
  it
• 6:48
  in
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48
  article,
• 6:48
  but
• 6:48
  there.
• 6:48
  There
• 6:49
  was
• 6:49
  a
• 6:49
  company
• 6:49
  that
• 6:50
  was
• 6:50
  based
• 6:50
  in
• 6:50
  New
• 6:50
  York
• 6:51
  City,
• 6:51
  and
• 6:52
  for
• 6:52
  some
• 6:52
  reason
• 6:52
  they
• 6:52
  had
• 6:53
  like
• 6:53
  a
• 6:53
  branch
• 6:53
  in
• 6:54
  Oconomowoc
• 6:55
  and
• 6:55
  no
• 6:56
  one
• 6:56
  could
• 6:56
  pronounce
• 6:56
  it,
• 6:56
  so
• 6:57
  they
• 6:57
  called
• 6:57
  it
• 6:57
  Wisconsin
• 6:58
  5o
• 7:00
  instead.
• 7:01
  Like
• 7:01
  Hawaii
• 7:01
  5o.
• 7:02
  But
• 7:02
  anyways,
• 7:04
  so
• 7:04
  they
• 7:04
  found
• 7:04
  a
• 7:05
  place
• 7:05
  that,
• 7:05
  you
• 7:05
  know,
• 7:05
  some
• 7:06
  lumber
• 7:06
  baron
• 7:06
  or
• 7:07
  some
• 7:07
  guy
• 7:07
  who
• 7:07
  made
• 7:07
  a
• 7:07
  boatload
• 7:08
  of
• 7:08
  money
• 7:08
  from
• 7:08
  Chicago,
• 7:09
  he
• 7:09
  built
• 7:09
  this
• 7:09
  place
• 7:10
  on
• 7:10
  this
• 7:11
  lake
• 7:13
  outside
• 7:13
  of
• 7:13
  Oconomowoc.
• 7:14
  And
• 7:14
  then
• 7:15
  that
• 7:15
  eventually
• 7:15
  became
• 7:16
  like
• 7:16
  a.
• 7:16
  A
• 7:17
  seminary
• 7:17
  or
• 7:18
  amongst.
• 7:19
  You
• 7:19
  know,
• 7:20
  there
• 7:20
  are
• 7:20
  a
• 7:20
  bunch
• 7:20
  of
• 7:20
  monks
• 7:20
  living
• 7:21
  there.
• 7:22
  But
• 7:22
  apparently
• 7:23
  they
• 7:23
  had
• 7:23
  some
• 7:23
  extra
• 7:23
  space,
• 7:24
  maybe
• 7:24
  a
• 7:24
  shortage
• 7:24
  of
• 7:24
  monks.
• 7:25
  And
• 7:26
  so
• 7:26
  then
• 7:26
  they.
• 7:28
  So
• 7:28
  the
• 7:29
  Buffalo
• 7:29
  Bison
• 7:29
  ended
• 7:30
  up
• 7:30
  there
• 7:30
  for
• 7:30
  a
• 7:31
  year.
• 7:31
  And,
• 7:32
  you
• 7:32
  know,
• 7:32
  and
• 7:33
  again,
• 7:33
  the
• 7:33
  city
• 7:33
  opened
• 7:34
  their
• 7:34
  arms
• 7:34
  and,
• 7:35
  you
• 7:36
  know,
• 7:36
  gave
• 7:36
  them
• 7:36
  access
• 7:37
  to
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  high
• 7:38
  school
• 7:38
  training,
• 7:39
  the
• 7:39
  high
• 7:39
  school
• 7:39
  field
• 7:40
  and
• 7:40
  the
• 7:40
  armory
• 7:40
  and,
• 7:40
  you
• 7:41
  know,
• 7:41
  whatever.
• 7:43
  But
• 7:44
  kind
• 7:44
  of
• 7:44
  the.
• 7:44
  The
• 7:44
  key
• 7:45
  part
• 7:45
  of
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  story
• 7:45
  is
• 7:46
  the
• 7:46
  Chicago
• 7:46
  Rockets.
• 7:47
  So
• 7:48
  they
• 7:48
  spent
• 7:48
  the
• 7:49
  46
• 7:49
  preseason
• 7:50
  in
• 7:50
  Santa
• 7:51
  Rosa,
• 7:51
  California,
• 7:53
  but
• 7:53
  then
• 7:54
  Two
• 7:55
  Rivers,
• 7:55
  Wisconsin,
• 7:56
  enticed
• 7:56
  them
• 7:57
  for
• 7:58
  the
• 7:58
  47
• 7:59
  season.
• 7:59
  And
• 8:00
  for
• 8:00
  those
• 8:01
  who
• 8:01
  don't
• 8:01
  know,
• 8:02
  Two
• 8:02
  Rivers,
• 8:04
  it's
• 8:04
  about
• 8:05
  40
• 8:05
  miles
• 8:05
  southeast
• 8:06
  of
• 8:07
  Green
• 8:07
  Bay,
• 8:07
  so
• 8:08
  it's
• 8:08
  on
• 8:09
  Lake
• 8:09
  Michigan.
• 8:10
  I'm
• 8:11
  sure
• 8:11
  it's
• 8:11
  pretty
• 8:11
  low
• 8:11
  town.
• 8:12
  I
• 8:12
  don't
• 8:12
  think
• 8:12
  I've
• 8:12
  ever
• 8:12
  been
• 8:12
  there.
• 8:13
  Maybe
• 8:13
  I've
• 8:13
  driven
• 8:13
  past
• 8:13
  it.
• 8:16
  But.
• 8:16
  So
• 8:16
  they
• 8:16
  were
• 8:17
  all
• 8:17
  eager
• 8:17
  and
• 8:17
  they
• 8:17
  had
• 8:18
  had.
• 8:18
  The
• 8:18
  Eagles
• 8:19
  had
• 8:19
  been
• 8:19
  there,
• 8:19
  like
• 8:20
  the
• 8:20
  Chicago
• 8:21
  or.
• 8:21
  No,
• 8:21
  the
• 8:21
  Columbus
• 8:22
  Bulldogs.
• 8:23
  There'd
• 8:23
  been
• 8:23
  a
• 8:23
  couple
• 8:24
  of,
• 8:24
  you
• 8:24
  know,
• 8:24
  teams
• 8:25
  that
• 8:25
  had
• 8:25
  trained
• 8:25
  there
• 8:25
  in
• 8:25
  the
• 8:26
  past.
• 8:26
  They're
• 8:27
  like,
• 8:27
  man,
• 8:27
  we
• 8:27
  gotta.
• 8:28
  We
• 8:28
  gotta
• 8:28
  find
• 8:28
  a
• 8:28
  way
• 8:29
  to
• 8:29
  keep.
• 8:30
  Attract
• 8:31
  additional
• 8:31
  teams
• 8:32
  and.
• 8:32
  And
• 8:33
  keep
• 8:33
  the
• 8:33
  Rockets.
• 8:34
  So
• 8:35
  what
• 8:35
  they
• 8:35
  did
• 8:35
  is
• 8:35
  they
• 8:35
  built
• 8:36
  this
• 8:37
  massive.
• 8:37
  Well,
• 8:38
  they
• 8:38
  built
• 8:39
  a
• 8:39
  sign
• 8:39
  as
• 8:40
  you
• 8:40
  drive
• 8:40
  into
• 8:40
  town,
• 8:42
  and
• 8:42
  it
• 8:42
  had
• 8:42
  this
• 8:43
  big
• 8:43
  Chicago
• 8:44
  Rockets
• 8:44
  football
• 8:45
  player
• 8:45
  who
• 8:45
  was
• 8:46
  like
• 8:46
  35ft
• 8:47
  tall.
• 8:48
  And
• 8:51
  there
• 8:51
  was
• 8:51
  a
• 8:51
  local
• 8:51
  guy
• 8:52
  who
• 8:52
  kind
• 8:52
  of
• 8:52
  designed
• 8:53
  it,
• 8:53
  and
• 8:54
  his
• 8:54
  cousin
• 8:54
  was
• 8:55
  vacationing
• 8:55
  in
• 8:56
  town
• 8:57
  who
• 8:57
  was
• 8:57
  an
• 8:57
  art
• 8:57
  teacher
• 8:58
  at
• 8:58
  a
• 8:58
  high
• 8:58
  school
• 8:58
  in
• 8:58
  Milwaukee.
• 8:59
  So
• 8:59
  he
• 8:59
  apparently
• 9:00
  did
• 9:00
  the
• 9:00
  artwork,
• 9:02
  which
• 9:02
  wasn't
• 9:03
  that
• 9:03
  great.
• 9:03
  There's.
• 9:05
  There's
• 9:05
  an
• 9:05
  image
• 9:06
  of
• 9:06
  a
• 9:06
  postcard.
• 9:07
  They
• 9:07
  issued
• 9:07
  postcards
• 9:08
  showing
• 9:08
  this
• 9:09
  big
• 9:09
  giant
• 9:10
  football
• 9:10
  player.
• 9:12
  And
• 9:12
  anyways,
• 9:12
  that's
• 9:13
  in
• 9:13
  the
• 9:13
  story
• 9:13
  itself,
• 9:14
  but
• 9:16
  despite
• 9:17
  their
• 9:17
  best
• 9:17
  efforts
• 9:18
  and
• 9:18
  the
• 9:19
  welcome
• 9:19
  sign
• 9:19
  and
• 9:20
  building
• 9:20
  the
• 9:20
  35
• 9:21
  foot
• 9:21
  Chicago
• 9:22
  Rocket
• 9:22
  football
• 9:22
  player,
• 9:24
  they
• 9:24
  left
• 9:25
  town
• 9:25
  after
• 9:25
  one
• 9:25
  year
• 9:26
  and
• 9:26
  instead
• 9:27
  went
• 9:27
  to
• 9:27
  Ripon,
• 9:28
  Wisconsin.
• 9:30
  So
• 9:30
  anyways,
• 9:30
  it's
• 9:31
  just,
• 9:32
  you
• 9:32
  know,
• 9:33
  if
• 9:33
  you're,
• 9:34
  if
• 9:34
  you're
• 9:34
  trying
• 9:34
  to
• 9:34
  attract
• 9:35
  an
• 9:35
  NFL
• 9:36
  team
• 9:36
  or
• 9:36
  somebody
• 9:37
  else,
• 9:38
  having
• 9:38
  a
• 9:38
  sign,
• 9:40
  having
• 9:40
  a
• 9:41
  35
• 9:41
  foot
• 9:42
  player
• 9:44
  on
• 9:44
  the
• 9:44
  outskirts
• 9:45
  of
• 9:45
  town
• 9:45
  is
• 9:45
  probably
• 9:46
  not
• 9:46
  the
• 9:46
  secret.
• 9:46
  At
• 9:47
  least
• 9:47
  it
• 9:47
  wasn't
• 9:47
  back
• 9:47
  in
• 9:47
  1947.
• 9:51
  So
• 9:51
  it
• 9:52
  used
• 9:52
  to
• 9:52
  work
• 9:52
  for
• 9:52
  the,
• 9:52
  the
• 9:53
  Greeks
• 9:53
  and
• 9:53
  Romans,
• 9:54
  I
• 9:54
  think
• 9:54
  then
• 9:54
  they
• 9:54
  build
• 9:54
  giant
• 9:55
  statues
• 9:55
  and
• 9:55
  Babylonians
• 9:56
  and.
• 9:57
  Yeah,
• 9:57
  yeah,
• 9:57
  well,
• 9:58
  I
• 9:58
  helped
• 9:58
  him
• 9:58
  win,
• 9:58
  that's
• 9:58
  for
• 9:59
  sure.
• 9:59
  Yeah.
• 9:59
  Yeah.
• 10:01
  At
• 10:01
  least
• 10:01
  if
• 10:01
  you're
• 10:01
  a
• 10:02
  Trojan,
• 10:02
  that's,
• 10:03
  that's
• 10:04
  one
• 10:04
  strategy.
• 10:06
  Wow.
• 10:07
  I
• 10:07
  mean,
• 10:08
  that's
• 10:08
  something
• 10:09
  I
• 10:09
  guess
• 10:10
  we
• 10:10
  take
• 10:10
  for
• 10:10
  granted,
• 10:11
  you
• 10:11
  know,
• 10:11
  these,
• 10:12
  you
• 10:12
  know,
• 10:12
  long
• 10:12
  distance
• 10:13
  training
• 10:14
  camps
• 10:14
  like
• 10:14
  you
• 10:15
  said,
• 10:16
  you
• 10:16
  know,
• 10:17
  but
• 10:17
  it's,
• 10:17
  it
• 10:18
  really
• 10:18
  is
• 10:18
  a
• 10:18
  great
• 10:19
  time.
• 10:19
  I
• 10:19
  know,
• 10:19
  I
• 10:19
  know
• 10:20
  high
• 10:20
  schools
• 10:21
  are
• 10:21
  still
• 10:22
  doing
• 10:22
  it,
• 10:22
  but
• 10:22
  they're,
• 10:22
  you
• 10:23
  know,
• 10:23
  our
• 10:23
  local
• 10:23
  high
• 10:23
  schools
• 10:24
  do
• 10:24
  it
• 10:24
  just
• 10:24
  outside
• 10:25
  of
• 10:25
  town
• 10:25
  and,
• 10:25
  but
• 10:26
  it
• 10:26
  gets
• 10:26
  the,
• 10:27
  the
• 10:27
  guys
• 10:28
  together
• 10:28
  and
• 10:29
  you
• 10:29
  know,
• 10:29
  get
• 10:30
  some,
• 10:30
  like
• 10:30
  you
• 10:30
  said,
• 10:30
  thinking
• 10:30
  on
• 10:31
  the
• 10:31
  same
• 10:31
  page
• 10:31
  and
• 10:32
  becoming
• 10:33
  a
• 10:33
  team.
• 10:33
  You
• 10:33
  know,
• 10:33
  it's
• 10:33
  a
• 10:34
  team
• 10:34
  bonding
• 10:35
  session
• 10:36
  more
• 10:36
  than
• 10:36
  anything.
• 10:37
  But,
• 10:37
  you
• 10:38
  know,
• 10:38
  you
• 10:38
  think
• 10:39
  about
• 10:39
  that
• 10:39
  and
• 10:39
  you
• 10:39
  pair
• 10:39
  that
• 10:39
  with
• 10:40
  a
• 10:40
  league
• 10:40
  that
• 10:40
  hasn't
• 10:41
  existed
• 10:41
  for,
• 10:42
  you
• 10:42
  know,
• 10:42
  70
• 10:43
  some
• 10:43
  years
• 10:43
  since.
• 10:44
  Really,
• 10:45
  really
• 10:45
  a
• 10:45
  cool
• 10:46
  story.
• 10:46
  And
• 10:47
  to
• 10:47
  hear,
• 10:47
  you
• 10:48
  know,
• 10:48
  most
• 10:49
  people
• 10:49
  have
• 10:49
  never
• 10:49
  heard
• 10:49
  of
• 10:49
  the
• 10:49
  Chicago
• 10:50
  Rockets.
• 10:50
  And
• 10:51
  uh,
• 10:51
  they
• 10:51
  were
• 10:51
  never
• 10:52
  very
• 10:52
  good.
• 10:52
  If
• 10:52
  I,
• 10:53
  I
• 10:53
  don't
• 10:53
  know
• 10:53
  if
• 10:53
  I
• 10:53
  ever
• 10:53
  have
• 10:54
  a
• 10:54
  winning
• 10:54
  record
• 10:54
  those
• 10:55
  four
• 10:55
  years
• 10:55
  of
• 10:55
  the
• 10:56
  afc,
• 10:57
  but
• 10:57
  they
• 10:58
  were
• 10:58
  one
• 10:58
  of
• 10:58
  the
• 10:58
  bottom
• 10:59
  dwellers,
• 10:59
  I
• 10:59
  think.
• 11:01
  Yeah,
• 11:01
  you
• 11:01
  know,
• 11:02
  they,
• 11:04
  it's
• 11:04
  a
• 11:04
  funny
• 11:04
  thing.
• 11:04
  Like
• 11:05
  even,
• 11:05
  you
• 11:06
  know,
• 11:06
  when
• 11:06
  I,
• 11:06
  when
• 11:07
  I
• 11:07
  was
• 11:07
  in
• 11:07
  college,
• 11:09
  we
• 11:09
  didn't
• 11:09
  have.
• 11:10
  Well,
• 11:10
  we
• 11:10
  had
• 11:10
  the
• 11:11
  Milwaukee
• 11:12
  Bucks
• 11:12
  trained
• 11:13
  at
• 11:13
  our,
• 11:13
  at
• 11:13
  our
• 11:14
  place,
• 11:14
  you
• 11:14
  know,
• 11:15
  and
• 11:18
  you
• 11:18
  know,
• 11:19
  but
• 11:19
  there
• 11:19
  were
• 11:19
  the
• 11:20
  NFL,
• 11:20
  a
• 11:20
  lot
• 11:21
  of
• 11:21
  teams,
• 11:21
  you
• 11:21
  know,
• 11:22
  trained
• 11:23
  in
• 11:23
  Wisconsin
• 11:23
  or
• 11:24
  Minnesota
• 11:24
  or,
• 11:24
  you
• 11:25
  know,
• 11:25
  I
• 11:25
  think
• 11:25
  upstate
• 11:25
  New
• 11:25
  York
• 11:26
  probably
• 11:26
  had
• 11:26
  a
• 11:26
  fair
• 11:27
  amount
• 11:28
  and
• 11:28
  it
• 11:29
  was
• 11:29
  just
• 11:29
  like
• 11:29
  a
• 11:29
  normal,
• 11:30
  normal
• 11:31
  thing.
• 11:31
  I
• 11:31
  mean
• 11:31
  that's
• 11:32
  pretty
• 11:32
  much
• 11:32
  standard
• 11:32
  operating
• 11:33
  procedure
• 11:33
  and
• 11:33
  then
• 11:34
  it
• 11:34
  just
• 11:34
  like
• 11:35
  it
• 11:35
  has
• 11:35
  just
• 11:35
  disappeared.
• 11:36
  But
• 11:38
  yeah,
• 11:39
  I'm
• 11:39
  not,
• 11:40
  not
• 11:40
  100
• 11:41
  sure.
• 11:41
  It
• 11:41
  just,
• 11:41
  you
• 11:42
  know,
• 11:42
  maybe
• 11:42
  it's
• 11:42
  just
• 11:43
  the,
• 11:45
  they
• 11:45
  just
• 11:45
  don't
• 11:45
  feel
• 11:45
  the
• 11:46
  need
• 11:46
  to
• 11:46
  get
• 11:46
  away
• 11:46
  and
• 11:48
  you
• 11:48
  know,
• 11:48
  haul
• 11:49
  all
• 11:49
  their
• 11:49
  equipment
• 11:49
  and
• 11:49
  there's
• 11:50
  just
• 11:50
  too
• 11:50
  much
• 11:50
  stuff
• 11:51
  now.
• 11:51
  You
• 11:51
  know,
• 11:52
  I
• 11:52
  think
• 11:52
  that
• 11:52
  must
• 11:53
  be
• 11:53
  it.
• 11:53
  But
• 11:54
  it
• 11:54
  can't
• 11:54
  be.
• 11:55
  I
• 11:55
  mean,
• 11:56
  people
• 11:56
  used
• 11:56
  to
• 11:57
  just
• 11:57
  fight
• 11:57
  over,
• 11:57
  you
• 11:58
  know,
• 11:58
  getting,
• 11:58
  getting
• 11:59
  a
• 11:59
  pro
• 11:59
  team
• 11:59
  there
• 11:59
  because
• 12:00
  there's
• 12:00
  a,
• 12:00
  you
• 12:00
  know,
• 12:00
  tourist
• 12:01
  attraction
• 12:01
  thing.
• 12:01
  It
• 12:01
  was
• 12:02
  Got
• 12:02
  your.
• 12:03
  Your
• 12:03
  town
• 12:03
  name
• 12:03
  in
• 12:04
  the
• 12:04
  newspaper,
• 12:04
  but,
• 12:05
  you
• 12:06
  know.
• 12:07
  Yeah,
• 12:07
  no
• 12:07
  more.
• 12:08
  I
• 12:08
  know.
• 12:08
  I
• 12:09
  went
• 12:09
  a
• 12:09
  couple
• 12:09
  years
• 12:10
  ago,
• 12:10
  PFRA
• 12:11
  had
• 12:11
  their
• 12:12
  convention
• 12:13
  down
• 12:13
  in
• 12:13
  Pittsburgh
• 12:14
  and
• 12:14
  it
• 12:14
  was
• 12:15
  right
• 12:15
  at
• 12:15
  the
• 12:15
  same
• 12:15
  time
• 12:15
  we
• 12:16
  went
• 12:16
  to
• 12:16
  the
• 12:16
  Latrobe
• 12:18
  Museum
• 12:19
  because
• 12:19
  it
• 12:19
  had
• 12:20
  a
• 12:20
  big
• 12:20
  display
• 12:21
  on
• 12:21
  John
• 12:21
  Brailier
• 12:22
  and
• 12:22
  you
• 12:22
  know,
• 12:22
  the
• 12:23
  Latrobe
• 12:23
  Athletic
• 12:24
  Club.
• 12:24
  Well,
• 12:25
  that
• 12:25
  was
• 12:25
  the
• 12:26
  third
• 12:26
  day
• 12:26
  of
• 12:26
  the
• 12:26
  Steelers
• 12:27
  training
• 12:27
  camp.
• 12:27
  They
• 12:28
  go
• 12:28
  to
• 12:28
  St.
• 12:28
  Vincent
• 12:29
  College
• 12:29
  in
• 12:29
  Latrobe,
• 12:30
  which
• 12:30
  is
• 12:30
  about
• 12:30
  45,
• 12:31
  45
• 12:32
  miles,
• 12:32
  45
• 12:33
  minutes
• 12:33
  of
• 12:34
  east
• 12:34
  of
• 12:35
  Pittsburgh,
• 12:35
  basically.
• 12:36
  And
• 12:36
  so
• 12:36
  that
• 12:37
  was
• 12:37
  the
• 12:37
  first
• 12:37
  time
• 12:37
  I
• 12:37
  ever
• 12:37
  went
• 12:38
  to
• 12:38
  a
• 12:38
  pro
• 12:38
  training
• 12:39
  camp
• 12:39
  and
• 12:39
  it
• 12:39
  was
• 12:40
  actually
• 12:40
  kind
• 12:40
  of
• 12:40
  cool.
• 12:40
  But
• 12:40
  they,
• 12:41
  they
• 12:41
  stay
• 12:41
  in
• 12:42
  the
• 12:42
  dorms
• 12:42
  there,
• 12:42
  the
• 12:43
  Steelers
• 12:43
  do.
• 12:43
  I
• 12:44
  think
• 12:44
  they're
• 12:44
  one
• 12:44
  of
• 12:44
  the
• 12:44
  rare
• 12:45
  ones
• 12:45
  that
• 12:45
  go
• 12:45
  to
• 12:46
  a
• 12:46
  college.
• 12:47
  I
• 12:47
  think
• 12:47
  the
• 12:48
  Bills
• 12:48
  might
• 12:48
  go
• 12:48
  to
• 12:48
  Saint
• 12:48
  Bonaventure.
• 12:49
  You
• 12:49
  talked
• 12:50
  about
• 12:50
  the.
• 12:51
  The
• 12:51
  Bisons
• 12:52
  going
• 12:52
  there,
• 12:52
  but
• 12:52
  I
• 12:52
  think
• 12:52
  the
• 12:52
  Bills
• 12:53
  might
• 12:53
  still
• 12:53
  go
• 12:53
  to
• 12:53
  St.
• 12:54
  Bonnie's
• 12:55
  but
• 12:55
  yeah,
• 12:56
  that's
• 12:56
  kind
• 12:56
  of
• 12:56
  a
• 12:56
  neat
• 12:56
  thing.
• 12:57
  And
• 12:57
  I
• 12:57
  know
• 12:57
  they
• 12:57
  had
• 12:57
  an
• 12:57
  article
• 12:58
  last
• 12:58
  year
• 12:58
  with
• 12:58
  Aaron
• 12:59
  Rodgers
• 12:59
  going
• 12:59
  there.
• 12:59
  He
• 13:00
  had
• 13:00
  never
• 13:00
  experienced
• 13:01
  that
• 13:01
  before
• 13:02
  since
• 13:02
  he
• 13:02
  was
• 13:02
  in
• 13:02
  college.
• 13:03
  And
• 13:04
  you
• 13:04
  know,
• 13:04
  I'm
• 13:04
  sure
• 13:05
  the
• 13:05
  dorms
• 13:05
  aren't
• 13:05
  super
• 13:06
  nice.
• 13:06
  Like
• 13:06
  these
• 13:06
  guys
• 13:07
  are
• 13:07
  used
• 13:07
  to
• 13:07
  living
• 13:08
  they.
• 13:08
  But
• 13:08
  in
• 13:08
  a
• 13:09
  room
• 13:09
  and
• 13:09
  up
• 13:09
  with
• 13:09
  somebody
• 13:10
  and
• 13:10
  makes
• 13:11
  it
• 13:11
  real
• 13:11
  interesting.
• 13:12
  I've
• 13:12
  got
• 13:12
  a
• 13:14
  kind
• 13:14
  of
• 13:14
  an
• 13:14
  internal.
• 13:16
  There's
• 13:16
  a
• 13:16
  playbook
• 13:17
  and
• 13:17
  then
• 13:17
  some
• 13:18
  like
• 13:18
  internal
• 13:19
  documents
• 13:19
  From
• 13:19
  like
• 13:20
  the
• 13:20
  53
• 13:21
  cults,
• 13:21
  something
• 13:22
  like
• 13:22
  that.
• 13:24
  But
• 13:26
  there's,
• 13:27
  you
• 13:27
  know,
• 13:27
  like
• 13:28
  they
• 13:28
  always
• 13:28
  have
• 13:28
  these
• 13:28
  training
• 13:29
  rules
• 13:29
  and
• 13:29
  all
• 13:29
  those
• 13:30
  documents.
• 13:30
  And
• 13:31
  one
• 13:31
  of
• 13:31
  them
• 13:32
  during
• 13:32
  preseason
• 13:33
  camp,
• 13:33
  it
• 13:33
  basically
• 13:33
  is
• 13:34
  saying,
• 13:34
  stay
• 13:35
  away
• 13:35
  from
• 13:35
  the
• 13:35
  campus
• 13:36
  women.
• 13:40
  I
• 13:41
  forget
• 13:41
  exactly
• 13:41
  the
• 13:41
  wording,
• 13:42
  but
• 13:42
  it
• 13:42
  was
• 13:42
  very
• 13:43
  clear
• 13:43
  message.
• 13:44
  Stay
• 13:44
  away.
• 13:45
  Yeah,
• 13:46
  we
• 13:46
  want
• 13:46
  to
• 13:46
  be
• 13:46
  able
• 13:46
  to
• 13:46
  come
• 13:47
  back.
• 13:47
  And
• 13:47
  they
• 13:47
  didn't.
• 13:49
  Didn't
• 13:49
  want
• 13:50
  any
• 13:50
  concerns,
• 13:51
  I
• 13:51
  think.
• 13:51
  I
• 13:52
  don't
• 13:52
  think
• 13:52
  school's
• 13:53
  even
• 13:53
  in
• 13:53
  session
• 13:53
  at
• 13:54
  St.
• 13:54
  Vincent
• 13:55
  when
• 13:55
  the
• 13:55
  Steelers
• 13:56
  are
• 13:56
  down
• 13:56
  there
• 13:56
  because
• 13:56
  they
• 13:56
  take.
• 13:56
  I
• 13:57
  mean,
• 13:57
  it's.
• 13:57
  It's
• 13:57
  a
• 13:58
  pretty
• 13:58
  big
• 13:58
  thing
• 13:58
  now.
• 13:58
  It's.
• 13:59
  They've
• 14:00
  got
• 14:00
  like
• 14:00
  four
• 14:00
  or
• 14:00
  five
• 14:00
  football
• 14:01
  fields
• 14:01
  there.
• 14:01
  They're
• 14:02
  named
• 14:03
  or
• 14:03
  Rooney
• 14:03
  Field.
• 14:04
  And
• 14:05
  it's,
• 14:05
  you
• 14:06
  know,
• 14:06
  half
• 14:06
  that
• 14:06
  campus
• 14:07
  is
• 14:07
  centered
• 14:08
  around
• 14:08
  the
• 14:08
  Steelers,
• 14:09
  I
• 14:09
  think
• 14:09
  now.
• 14:09
  And
• 14:10
  probably
• 14:10
  they
• 14:10
  gave
• 14:10
  him
• 14:10
  a
• 14:10
  bunch
• 14:11
  of
• 14:11
  money
• 14:11
  too
• 14:11
  for.
• 14:12
  But
• 14:12
  yeah,
• 14:13
  pretty
• 14:13
  interesting
• 14:13
  stuff.
• 14:14
  So,
• 14:14
  yeah,
• 14:14

• 14:15
  is
• 14:15

• 14:17
  you
• 14:17
  talk
• 14:17
  about
• 14:18
  that,
• 14:18
  you

  know,

  might
• 14:19
  not
• 14:19
  be

  common
