I’m in the football content right now on the road doing all that stuff um yeah it’s a lot but it’s fun it’s working it’s it’s it’s paying off it’s it’s building a little bit it’s I like the Manhattan dad stuff yeah the Manhattan the coaches stuff like this is the the
Coach stuff the the big the starter I did a Manhattan Beach starter so you’re familiar with the South Bay manhatt Beach I did a Manhattan Beach starter pack and that one kind of like catapult to me up in the South Bay because it was like you know man like we’re retire I’m
Retired I walk around there no one really cares it’s great it’s a great place but like I got stopped more for the the Manhattan Beach dad’s thing starter pack than anything else I’ve ever done it was like oh the Manhattan Beach it was the and from wives moms
Divorce dads it was hilarious was it one of them to have an SUV with tinted windows with them all the way down that it was uh was that a part of that one it was uh a golf cart you got to have a golf cart got a golf cart uh you got a
The Aviator nation everyone the creation the juices that you’re you know you spend $30 for a smoothie I love it yeah exactly uh so yeah it’s all good man so today we’re looking at the infamous yeah Bush push 2005 USC versus Notre Dame huge rivalry huge rivalry I’m wearing
The Hat I love it I saw this the the content you did you guys went out there you and Brady Quinn walked through the bush the bush push had a lot of fun you broke into the locker room we did break into lock went off yeah we did it was
Awesome so what does this game mean is this like your guys’s biggest game SC Notre Dame you know it’s interesting it’s it’s a it’s an it’s a different kind of rivalry game because you have a lot of like UCLA is our rival but it but
It I mean it really wasn’t a rival when I was was there but that’s the cross town rival in the battle for La Notre Dame is so much bigger it’s historic I don’t know if it’s it’s not Michigan Ohio State but it’s an historic rivalry
And I wish I knew how it started but it was P pretty fascinating how it all started I think it started between like the president’s wife and someone else at the time like thought the two should play or something and like that’s how it like kicked off um but like the the
History the titles the Heisman the games um some of the performances like it just it’s just very unique and in that was my first time back since the bush push game so 18 years obviously you’re playing you know I don’t go I didn’t never went to
The game and then my job now we hadn’t covered a game at Notre Dame so it was really uh it was really cool man like it was it was cool to go back um I’d G I’d played there twice but to walk the field with Brady to kind of relive this game
Um it was wild man like it was it was it was cool it was it was cool to be back a lot of changes or a lot of changes though so it’s Turf now which sucks it used to be grass it was long grass in your game I was watching this dud they
Jared got hawked because of that long grass Jared was like you know Jared was like a 47 guy he couldn’t well they grew that out for Reggie yeah they grew dude they we actually had like I think we had one of our kids tours ACL because the
Grass was so long and one of their linemen tore their ACL we were pissed we’re like dude the grass was like six or seven inches off the ground and it was all just to try and slow down our offense and obviously I mean it worked at times but Reggie went that game still
So it didn’t matter it’s kind of like when you play like that’s what the Bears always did yeah the bear yeah they keep that long grass I’m I miss grass though man yeah so it so that part was different um and you know just the smell
Of grass and just like you’re walking on it it just feels different uh so that was a little different and then they added um they just renovated the stadium but it still had the same feel it’s kind of like the I don’t know if you’ve been to the Coliseum but the USC’s Coliseum
They condensed it so they took out like 20,000 seats but they still have grass so it still has the same feel of the bull but tell you what man you Touchdown Jesus uh the history in that place it was good to be back it was good to be
Back that’s some good performances it yeah I mean a man with 1.5 national championships beat 1.5 what are you talking about didn’t you guys have you guys kind of Co we split one but we got screwed I know you know what the crazy thing is we’re
Kind of in that same age group I was in Jo this year I think when you guys went when were you at Kent State I went to Kent State the next year6 06 was my first year at Kent State and I remember watching you guys and like the aura that
You guys had as a college football team it wasn’t like a college football team I sat there and I thought you guys were pros and I was in the same age as you guys I was like these guys dude it was it was wild so like at that
Time well you got to remember too so my first year year was Pete’s first year we were awful um we were six and six but you just felt it was going to be different his I mean dude he’s still trucking along now like [ __ ] 80 years
Old dude he’s still growing but like you just felt it was different the staff was great we had Carson obviously who was great the next year it just flipped it was one year and we were we beat Iowa in the Orange Bowl and then the next year
Was when I won the starting job but to your point it was like it was we always talk about this there’s no football then uh Kobe and Shaq had just got off their threee I think Shaq had bounced the Dodgers weren’t great the Kings weren’t
Great like it was our town like like La was our town and Pete loved it man he embra oh dude he was like why wouldn’t I use this as my recruiting tool it’s this is our backyard Hollywood entertainment celebrity the lifestyle like let’s go come come come come join this ride with
Us and he did and it was a ride will frell Snoop dog at practices I would have signed instantly dude Snoop was the best man Snoop I I threw passes to Sno one yeah one-on ones he was out there running he loved that dude we had I’ll
Tell you this story it’s one of it was one of my best stories and so I think it was it was right after I won the Heisman my junior year and I came back and in that time frame the game remember the rapper The Game so he was a Big Ass Fan
He’s from uh I think he’s from Compton and he was a big reg he would come to the sideline come to the games he as me to be in his music video it was dreams so it was like Serena Williams there’s a couple other athletes in there and I was
Like shoot okay let’s do it so I took Lindell white I took my boy be Hance who who’s a backup quarterback and we went over on the Sony lot and I’m walking in I’m carrying this big ass Heisman I’m in like a gry hoodie and jeans and we go
And I see Dr Dre right when I’m walking and again we’re I’m 21 years old Dre is like hitting us up and then we go into his uh his trailer and it’s like eight of his dudes in his trailer you could imagine what that thing smelled like but
We’re in there I put the Heisman on there and this dude is like Heisman this that and I’m just sitting there with my boys lindell’s probably lighting one up you know we’re just sitting there dude telling stories it was the coolest thing and so the best part about it we then
Shoot the music video and the funniest thing is I’m watching like this guy do a music video was cool and dreams like was one of his hits back then and I’m in it and I’m like walking out of the fog with the Heisman and long story short I never
I didn’t make the cut I didn’t make the cut of the video he didn’t put me in it I was like what the hell dude I was here for like 6 hours but it was the coolest day man so that like dude that was the
Type of stuff we got to do man like it was it was nuts so you grew up in Santa Ana which is Orange County yeah it’s not I grew I didn’t grow I grew up very uh I me I grew up like right on the border of
Santa Ana Costa M I grew up right by modern day in my high school um super just working middle class my my parents both work full-time jobs um you know we didn’t have a lot of money but we you know we went to my mom wanted to get us
Into private school that was like she wanted us to get us out of that District so my brother went to Moder day which was 5 minutes away he was 5 years older and then they worked hard to get us there and that was that was it who was
Your who was your college team growing up UCLA K the Kade mcnown era K dude Kade mcnown JJ Stokes Danny farmer yeah uh Deshawn boster and Deshawn boster was a couple years old I mean he was a stud um I loved Kade mcnown CU he was a lefty and they were
Really good so like I got recruited heavily to UCLA but when I went there it just like it was it was just a different feel man and and I got nothing against UCLA I really don’t but it was just it was like UCLA I was just like this place
Kind of sucks it just felt boring like it just felt boring there’s no energy and then I was getting recruited by Paul Hackett I don’t know if you ever played for Paul or but it was Paul and um Hugh Jackson uh when they at FC and even that
Energy was better even though they were terrible but Pete brought in and Pete was with sarkeesian and kein and this staff was loaded and it just felt right even though we weren’t good I was just like this is where I want to be so UCLA
Was my team um but SC it just it felt it felt uh it was I mean it was the right decision geez so let’s get back to modern day modern day you guys have three Heisman Trophies the only the only high school in America have three you name the Third
He’s old John hu yeah John hu John hu where where’d he go to school modern day no college Notre Dame I think yeah are you getting get out of here look at you bro talking about dude I look at you you’re cheating over here with theele
What are you talking no dude this that’s bat that’s a bat TV Dude col Brennan rest in peace That’s my boy he was uh he was a monster at Hawaii he was my backup at modern day we were we were best friends and then yeah he so he kind of
You know he had his path he started at Colorado then went to Jo um kind of got his life back in order and he balled the Jo He Walked on for June Jones at Hawaii and just ball like he was a baller dude like like 5,000 yards he was a baller he
Was running up in the Heisman so we played on my senior year we went out to Hawaii and I was and we had I think we had a bet or something we we dropped 70 on him dude but he he bought I mean it was like 70 to 20 or something but he
Played okay that’s back when those Hawaii teams were just dude they wereing dude dude the run and shoot man they throw the ball 60 times a game and he was like the the flag carrier for that dude he so he got drafted to Washington Washington like fifth or sixth round and
I I was so happy for him balled in the preseason and tore his hip up and his and he just never like he was I think he was third string but he was balling God it might have been Shanahan at the time Mike Shanahan and uh per fit perfectly
Kind of who what type of quarterback he was and uh he got hurt and I think he tore his lbum in his hip or something and he just never got back but like I thought he he probably would have stuck around a little bit dude cuz he could he
Could he was accurate he was smart um and then he just man he had a lot of problems dude and just feel bad man yeah that’s a sad story yeah it is was the first time you met Pete Carrol I know you said Hugh Jackson was mod day Moder
Day yeah cuz he so I had so when chewing gum probably he drinking Mountain Dew and chewing gum um he came out so when when hacka got fired I decommitted and then um actually Bob Stoops who was at Fox for a while who’s the greatest guy
Oklahoma came in real hard and that was the year they won the title they played Florida State they had Josh hypo and they that they were they were awesome so they were recruiting me and then I I I committed early to SC decommitted because I didn’t know who the coach was
Going to be Bob came in hard Oklahoma was like and I was like I was like this pretty cool but then I went did you visit oh yeah but then I went to Norman I was like sh I was like dude I was like
Bro I’m sorry man but I can’t go I can’t live in this place I just it was like I just couldn’t I couldn’t go there but I was like I was fascinated they were great you know but I’m like I just can’t see myself in Norman Oklahoma but the
First time I met Pete was at at modern day he came to practice and just we we threw the ball around um and obviously he was trying to get me to commit there Norm Chow came that was a big reason why I stay because Norm Chow his his uh
History he had just coached Philip Rivers in NC State but he had like you know all the guys at BYU Demmer Jim McMahon like he I mean he was the quarterback Guru so yeah that was the first time I met Pete man probably chewing gum freaking a dozen Mountain
Dews a day so you you love so Norm Chow his son’s my agent Carter Chow really Carter Chow yeah Carter Chow is one of My AG in TV no in football he’s part of yan duban Sports he’s part know that yeah he’s he’s a stud and the Hawaiian
Yeah so I know C so cam I know cam a little better cuz Cameron was in Manhattan Beach for a long time um Carter I I know a little bit I haven’t seen them in forever though Norm actually just called me today did he randomly you got to tell him I said I
Will yeah I just went out to Hawaii and and hung out with the family they live over in the NorthShore oh that’s cool man it’s crazy now tell us about this quarterback room rookie or freshman year freshman year you got you Carson Palmer who else my castle your boy did you play
You play with C dog no you didn’t that’s how we met castle played with he played with Walker but we met because I used to come out remember and throw with you guys in Beach because I I linked up with Cass so my freshman doing TV too now you
He is I love cast um talk about a career dude Jesus um Carson Castle me Billy Hart was the other freshman that came in Billy ended up getting drafted by the Yankees like six like 10th round or something played baseball for a while dude we just just a I mean just a clown
Show it was awesome D cuz Carson like I mean you know castle c Castle’s just well Carson used to come out and throw with us too and Carson’s kind of Carson is like I always tell everybody he’s like the driest sense of humor but he’s he’s like he’s the funniest dude he’s
Sneaky funny man he’s just cuz like he’s not like super social but when like he’s just sneaky funny man and Castle is the opposite Castle’s just a clown the first time I met castle I don’t know how it came up but he got a piece of paper and
He he he drew through three guys he drew him Tom Brady and Vinnie testy do you know where this story is going no he drew him with a mediumsized dick Tom with a a decent Siz and then he just threw a dick that went off the [ __ ] page for Vinnie tesie and that’s
The first thing he ever I’m like i’ I’ve heard of you Matt Castle but why are you telling me about Vinnie test of er dong like that’s the first thing he told that’s something does it not surprise you so we be no we be sitting at
Practice and i’ be you know uh this was my probably my first two or the second year too I’d be taking a knee you know like leaning on the helmet as whatever and he would just come over and just Hawk a [ __ ] lugie on my calf just
Just like that and then and I would I would just I would put like I would get big old boogers and just throw him in his helmet all this [ __ ] we we did the stupidest stuff man but you know locker room [ __ ] but castle and castle and Carson would wrestle Monday or Tuesday
Every week and and both those dudes are big dudes like and Castle’s big ass legs and Carson’s just a big human being and they would go at it and I don’t know if you’ve ever wrestled but they would wrestle for like three minutes straight which they’re just like they’re like
Dead dude they’re like he used to wrestle with Brady we probably the same he wrestled with Brady at the dirby he’s just he’s an idiot in the best idiot way I love that guy he’s fun guy to be he is he’s the best now first time you met Reggie
Uh probably his recruiting trip um [ __ ] I remember seeing his highlights I don’t know if you guys I mean San Diego right I remember watch yeah so he was Helix he you know whose quarterback was I do once you say it Alex Smith Alex Smith I knew
That you went to Helix there were two there were like three highlight I don’t know we used to do this the the recruiting class coming in Pete would show like all of the recruits are highlight video and the three I’ll never forget well Brian Cushings was ridiculous cuz he was returning punts
Playing running back linebacker uh Jeff buers was our Center he was the number one he act he never he actually never really he started a little bit but he was the number one lineman in the country from Colorado I think and this dude was just a monster and then Reggie
And Reggie’s highlight was like holy [ __ ] dude this kid is special it’s like that fros run every dude it was just he was he was he was a highlight he was a video game and um that’s how he was like the first first day P probably recruiting trip and then I remember so
His first year so he was one year behind me so I still wasn’t playing was I play oh I think I was playing I think I was a red Shir sophomore and his his true freshman so I was two years ahead of him and uh he came in and actually dude he
Was like kind of like second third string of we had three backs we had lendell who’s a baller and we had Chanty Washington who actually was was on the depth chart right behind hersel Dennis going in and Reggie was kind of like scat kind of use him in return but he
Wouldn’t go he would go in like third but we knew in practice we’re like dude this kid he’s just reversing field like and our defense was nasty they couldn’t tackle him they couldn’t get to him um he was uh I I I say this openly like he’s the best I think best college
Football player I’ve ever seen there’s a lot of debate obviously but what he did and like the most electric by far I think him and like Mike Vic you know like those are the two at least in that era Ricky Williams could be thrown in
There r i mean there’s a lot of guy I just think like but overall what Reggie did you just can’t like Reggie was just like he was a human highlight film man who’s the one guy in the team that needs a little more love that that his name
Gets passed around a little what do you mean who no one really talks about cuz when you think of those teams on those teams we think about you Reggie Bush you think about some of the D guys but it’s usually you and Reggie Bush I think Lindell white Lindell white I mean Our
Receiver like well I also say you remember Mike mhm dude that the most dominant dude I’ve ever seen where he he went to Detroit right he was yeah he went he went first overall or something he was like ninth or 10th so they had just drafted um I mean they were that
Was a bad years to be in Detroit but they had they drafted Charles Rogers the year before so they drafted two receivers back Tob back top remember that and then he bounced around he went to Oakland Seattle a little bit um he was he was unbelievable I think lendel
White is the one um just because he gets overshadowed By Reggie I’m telling you what like one of the best pure football players you know you play with just pure guys at any level like Anquan Balton to me was like the best pure football player I’ve ever played with like just
This dude could start at safety he was just a football player Lindell was like that man like he was so naturally good he didn’t have to try at all that was probably part of his downfall a little bit he just didn’t try as hard probably
As he got older but he was he was special man and he was a big without him we don’t win those those titles short yardage dude he but he was he was 240 4546 broke tackles quick pick up blitzes he just did everything man this season
He had 1521 total yards from Scream I think he’s he’s the alltime touchdown leader at UFC he’s got like 60 something right total he’s got 57 57 and by the way well Tyler by the way what’s up yeah no uh Reggie gets mad a lot because
We’ve be down on the five and they put lendell in lendell had like 20 touchdowns inside the five Reggie get us down there but no lendell was a stud man he’s probably the one that gets people kind of like oh I remember how good he
Was you know I yeah he was a he was a monster it was just such a good onew punch dude this dude so we play Oklahoma in the orange bow that was the year we won he had a spraying ankle like end of the season so he didn’t practice he was
You know he just kind of didn’t he kind of showed up when he wanted to he didn’t practice all all uh bull season probably three weeks showed up at the game 255 255 he’s like 6’2 255 and ran for like a buck 50 on him and looked like he
Was running a 44 and didn’t practice one time it was like it was honestly one of the greatest performers i’ ever seen so what H what made Norm Chow’s offens is so electric was it I you guys obviously have players but West oh west west coast
If fit me really well getting the ball fast timing you know play action stuff bootleg stuff um and then we just we had dogs man we had we had those recruiting classes those handful even after I left for a couple years I mean that run from
Like 02 to 10 probably nine eight or nine years was unbelievable like the he left you guys and went became the head coach of the Titans right yeah he he left at the he left at a very opportune time for himself oh CH you’re talking
About yeah oh no CH left yeah so ch left um I was talking about Pete Pete left right before all the [ __ ] went down um Chia left my senior year so he took the OC job with the Titans with Jeff fiser but it was it was fun like because Sark
And kein then became Sark was my QB coach and then kein was the OC they were CO’s but we didn’t I mean we didn’t skip a beat obviously they were I mean they were really good so so you guys are essentially like like you said there was
No La pro team at the time you guys were the pro team now what was the best part of it obviously going to all the club what was the worst part of it I think you know for me for me personally I think looking back the perception it
Gave me as I went into the NFL I think for sure I don’t I always say I’ve said this like I don’t think I helped my cause a lot but I also like wasn’t like what everyone thought I was like we were in college we worked our ass off we won
We played at a high level we just were like that’s just that was a life we had dude like we would go anywhere we were treated like celebrities we could get into any club at 18 we were living like normal college kids in that in that City
In Hollywood because that’s just all we had SE is a terrible college town we weren’t like either we were going to a frat party who they hated us because we were the king of the town or we go to a Hollywood club where we can get in and
Like drink and and whatever you know like so and we weren’t it’s not like we were going out that much we just when we went out we went out you know like and um I so I think the worst part was just how that perception carried with me in
The NFL I it wasn’t obviously and and again like I said I made mistakes but um I mean the best part is I mean the best part is what I said man we just I mean the stories I could tell for days man it was freaking awesome wildest what’s your
What’s the wildest celebrity encounter that you had at one of those clubs my my ni my Nicholas Shay who’s like one of my best friends is a it’s kind of funny how we met but um dude we I I just like we would we would hang with like DiCaprio
We would hang with cuz in that in that time there was no camera phones and that was like the top of the club game because everyone would go out because no one there was no one I mean I don’t even I think a camera phone might have came
Out um a couple years later but um there’s no worry you know you had security no one was taking pictures of you you could just do whatever the hell you want Kid Rock I I remember boozing one night heavy with Kid Rock I was like
I was like 20 I just just I it was just it was like it was just random in the offseason was any time you went out you just ran into people and you just and they knew us you know and like and then our boys ran the club so they would set
Us up with the best table next to whoever was there so you would just I mean you know how it is you would just mingle and it was just wild dude it was uh it and the wild part about it was it just felt it was just super normal for
Us for those years yeah Kyler wrap up this dynasty what else we got okay so I just want to like throw out some quick stats on this peak Carol era USC the USC Dynasty from 20 2001 to 2009 the trosen went 97 and 19 there’s a 2003 AP National Title 2004 National Title
Against Oklahoma uh and then 2005 lost the national championship game of Texas which is probably the best game of all time and I can’t wait to do that one here at some point um we do have a we have a huge Texas Fan that wants to do
That game d we get V here V is the best who Vince Young Vince Young no we were we were big think Vince do Vince too his last name rhymes with uh MCC McVey Shan it rhymes with that is that MCC I don’t know we I’m just saying if we lock

They were rolling both of them were pretty good Aon was he was balling over there but then I went to I went to Ohio I went to Kent State and and people used to get up and leave our game to go watch the Ohio State game and you know like I
Didn’t realize how big Ohio state was until I went to Ohio I didn’t know college football you know you don’t get that environment when you live in the Bay Area dude why don’t we get you to Michigan Ohio State you’re an Ohio you’re an Ohio native ish yeah ish but

Moment the best movie was the fog I don’t even remember this movie do you D I’m not a scary I’m not a scary movie guy I do remember but I do remember the I do remember the movie I remember Gold Digger by Kanye West I still remember
That yep yep by the way by the way though Twilight is huge Twilight fan no shame in my game dude Edward or the other one Team Edward or Team oh that’s good oh no no team the wolf dude the wolves I was Team Edward really a little
Bit I used to love you don’t strike me as a team Edward guy I know but I my sister liked him and I kind of like I don’t get I didn’t get the I mean that I don’t think he’s a good-look dude I didn’t really get the hype around him
But I think it was he was like the goth cool kid you know like Against the Grain yeah you know I was definitely the Wolves I used to love those how CU When those movies came out I mean I’m a I’m a I’m a movie guy I didn’t read the books
They used to have such cool houses in like the upper North Northwest oh like the modern house in the forest no those are good movies I actually rewatched those movies I like those movies what we got in sports the Sports World First International game Arizona defeat San
Francisco and Mexico City we played in Mexico City did you how was that I didn’t play actually what year was that I hurt my knee what year was that 17 but we went out there what year did you get dra you got drafted n and then you
Retired in 20 20 hell of a career dude it was it was it was a good one I remember dude when we train you and your long hair and I remember and that was when you were backing up kind of West right you were kind of like following
His mold I remember dude I was like this kid I was a kid because you were I just we were young I was like dude this kid is gonna be good dude like he’s like he’s got it man and you [ __ ] you just took off dude I worked hard and I like
Yeah I know but it was dude you it was fun it was fun but that Mexico City that that that that altitude’s at like 9,800 ft is it it is is people don’t know that that I heard Mexico City’s kind of a cool insane so we did a I did a
Documentary there to promote the game and then I ended up tearing my knee up but we went out there and spent a week in Mexico Mexico City was so fun so much culture the food was amazing heard went to toadi wakan you didn’t play in London
I did did you I did play they sent you guys to London we went to London twice did you like that honestly I had a blast because we a lot of beer no we’re a domestic sport and so so they treat they just were so excited right not really
It’s just it was exciting for us because you get to have that like was that six that’s not a terrible flight for you guys no it was like six and a half hours but the sleep schedule did get messed up I wasn’t used to going you know out of
The country at that time but yeah London was cool the grass was super long though those I bet those fans are nuts speaking of the Cardinals can we talk about Dennis Green the greatest rant of all time we we’re they were who we was it the Bears
You know the back story of that okay so my rookie year we play the Bears third game of preseason third game starters play most of the game right first half at least and so I’m I start that game and we’re in Chicago and we beat him and
That was the year they went to the Super Bowl eracer Lance Briggs I mean they were they were St their defense was nasty Peanut Tilman yeah their their dline was was really good Tommy Harris I think was there and uh we just we outplayed him we beat him and we’re like
And so when we played that game we were one and three or four my first start was the week before and we missed a field goal to win against the Chiefs um Ty Law did you play with Tai no he he picked me off in that game but we should have won
That game and then the next week was Monday Night Football and it was like first time we were on Monday Night Football for years and we knew going to that game like we could beat this team they were five and0 or for but we’re like they had Sexy Rexy like they went
On a run but they had a great defense their offense was average and we came out smoking dude like we were up 21 to3 or something like that and then we took the foot foot off the pedal they started making some plays and then freaking uh
Devon Hester ran one back to go up with like four minutes left and then monster a minute and a half left we drive down and we get in field goal range to win and we miss again we missed two field goals back toback games to lose so then
I get so then the postgame conference and Denny and I’m sitting the funny the funny thing is and Mark Dalton is still the pr guy there and so I’m standing outside with Mark and all I hear is they are who they thought they are we let
Them off the hook you want to Crown them Crown their ass and Dy was Dy was awesome dude and uh I’m just sitting there like and I’m still pissed I’m like holy [ __ ] dude like I gotta follow this so and then Mark’s like you can hear him
Mark’s like all right next up is Matt liner and so I walk in there I’m like you know and I was a rookie dude so I didn’t really say much I was pretty quiet like I you know whatever and that was it man and he we were he was so
Angry cuz we I mean should have won that game um we had him dude and we just we choked it away that’s got to be crazy for you a guy that comes from the most talented team yeah probably in college football history at those at that time
To then going to a team dude we had so we had we had Larry and we had anquin right so we had two of the best to ever do it um Larry certainly and then and Kurt was there who eventually resurrected his career um we weren’t I mean we were we had some
Good players um that year we had like even my rookie year I played pretty well we were like okay and then I I I HT my AC the last game of the year um against San Francisco AC joint AC joint in the throw and I was play yeah and it was
Like Mile and Alex Guerrero took care of me but uh it was like grade twos but I was it was like I think it was a second to last game so but I was playing well whatever and then okay then the offseason then Denny gets fired new
Coaching staff comes in and that’s where from me personally went all downhill so like to get drafted there was one thing but like showed a lot of promise and then that second year I was coming off the injury so I didn’t really have a
Good off season and then I I was I was OTAs I was finally healthy and stuff but it just it just was like from the GetGo just this dude and like you know you’ve been around coaches like you just I was screwed from day one like it I felt like
And again I didn’t help myself at times but like there was nothing I could do right um that’s tough when you’re dude was a first round dra quarterback that the coaching staff gets fired who probably went on you know on the table for you and then all of a sudden they’re
Bringing in someone else and it’s it’s almost like they can’t they’re like we got to go somewhere else because it buys that coaching staff more time well and we had Kurt Warner who had already won a Super Bowl so like two glove Kurt Warner at the time two glove dude I went to
Dude at one point I went to two gloves dude because this dude I was pissed like so I got I was there four years so like year three so year two we split time the first six games I broke my collar bone out for the
Year year three we had a a duel he he beat me out and then that’s the year we went to the Super Bowl but that was also the year where I’m like so he was two gloves always and I’m like dude you’re screwing me because he would use brand
New balls and those brand new balls I couldn’t throw a brand new ball and like I don’t have I have big hands but I don’t have super big hands I’m like dude you’re going to make me go to gloves dude cuz I couldn’t like he did not give
A [ __ ] and I tried to get him like hey can we get some of these old balls in there and just like this so in case I have to go in and he was like yeah whatever but most of them were so I went to two gloves a couple times I felt like
An idiot I actually threw the ball right in it but I was like what come on dude I look I already look bad enough in my uniform you’re going to make me wear these nasty ass Nikes I I tried two gloves after that for a while when you
The ball quite a bit when I was can’t you use two gloves cuz we used to have like crazy weather games yeah and I felt like when you did you you could you could get really good centrifical force on the ball you could spin it I I didn’t
I to be honest with you like but I felt like sometimes it would stick in your hand and so sometimes you you’d be dead accurate with it but then yeah it stick too long and yeah yeah I it felt that I actually didn’t throw too bad in him I I
Didn’t mind it it just I was just like dude this looks awful um what I was going to say was I I the year I got my mojo back was in Houston with kubak yeah and it was like um I was with orlovski I was with sha and then year six did
Orlowski have all the answers then too he’s the same as on TV the same as he was then uh but we had a f we had a that was the best two two years he does he he knows football I give himart I give him
That he was always like he should be I bet he’ll be a coach one day although I know he likes he likes the freedom he has but kubak was so like Shanahan and like that tree it just it it it went back to my college days it just it felt
Right what year was that that was was um 11 and 12 or 10 10 that the year was that the year you guys came to our house in letterman jackets came Houston no Houston came one year in let like the whole team had a mantra we’re going to
All wear letterman jackets no to Fox we never and I think we beat him like 48 to3 or something dud the only time I ever came to New England was preseason my rookie year and dude I’ll never forget it was week two and week one I
Was still holding out for my contract so week two was the first time I’m at New England and it’s Willie Mack it’s Junior I think brusi it was like you know like those defenses were nasty and I think I played against him a little bit um actually played pretty well the game
That was the only time and then the year Tom went out with the ACL you probably weren’t there yet it was 08 yeah right before he went out C dog beat us and West went off it was a Snow Game and they beat us like 41 to1 and uh actually
I actually came in I threw a touch to Larry that game we’re down 30 points and threw a go route to it was pretty sweet but um that was a year we ended up going to the Super Bowl yeah we were we were eight and eight we went to the playoffs
Eight and eight and we just made a freaking run dude you got to get hot at the right time we started with a home game because we won our division so we played I think we played Green Bay or Atlanta so we had a good match up there
And then Philly was the one seed or two seed they lost to Carolina but we had whooped Carolina that year at Carolina so we were like like it’s set up perfect oh no we no no no that’s not Carolina we went and then we hosted Philly in the
NFC championship game we had the the perfect run to get to the playoff or it’s a Super Bowl we should have won the Super Bowl we Loston Corner [ __ ] dude what we got Kyler the uh letterman jacket game was in 2012 yeah so I was gone I was G they
Weree letterman jackets yeah Texas the Texans went to New England in letterman jackets they lost 42 to 14 teams they always had good teams we had well that was we were playoffs I mean the two two years I were there we were we lost to Baltimore dude both years at Baltimore I
Mean they were just they were rocking but we had Aron Foster was a beast those years Andre Johnson demo Ryan was our middle linebacker Doo what a what a stud he’s been doing I mean I’m I’m so like happy for him I’m happy for CJ stra we
We covered him in college and he’s he’s he’s from he’s from out this way um kind of tough upbringing you know like just family stuff and like really good kid man I got to I got to talk to him buch in in Ohio State and just he just like
He just wanted to be great he’s kind of softspoken great leader but uh you know felt a lot of pressure to Ohio State there just and like I I was rooting for a man and he’s been balling dude like he’s playing playing his tail off man

Sign Urban Meyer but they they were able to get Charlie Weiss from three Super Bowl from the Patriots um kind of somewhat famously Weiss told his players every game you will have a decided schematic Advantage um that was his his quote there they started the season
Unranked they were 4- one leading up to the bush push game with one lot to Michigan State uh ranked number nine in the country at the time some notable names Charlie Weiss as we mentioned Brady Quinn quarterback Jeff smaria wide receiver and Tom zekowski um the boxer
The boxer safety yeah he was such a a cool dude zakowski I don’t know I never met him but he was a beast dude I was like a fan of him Samara pitched in the big leagues for like 12 years 12 and he was a baller receiver too insane I
Remember him always catching deep post routs dude he was 65 dude and like he just yeah I told BR I’m like you just thr go routes to the guy like he because he could jump he was he was a good receiver man I mean that’s the smart way
To do it though he probably has a lot more money and a lot less pain right now dude he was making like 10 mil a year just pitching like every five days oh my Bullpen too no I wish I would have done that set the stage we already kind of
Set the stage for the Irish huh so USC 2005 USC Trojans they were coming off an undefeated season having beat Oklahoma 5519 in the 2004 national championship game uh Matt you won the Heisman uh they were riding a 22 game win streak 14 returning starters from the 2014 team I
Think a lot of those on off offense the number one ranked team coming into the year notable coasting changes as we mentioned uh norch left the tit ends coach Coach O to Old Miss uh brought in stesan as QB coach and Lan kein was elevated to OC notable names you don’t
Need know notable names we all know the USC notable names geeez let’s get in there so yeah you get into the game dude first half terrible you guys are kind of battling you guys scored first they’re they’re leading at half time dude I played awful that game awful up until
Like one the last play why I just play bad dude just it was my wor it was we had struggled against Arizona State a couple weeks prior by I get knocked out of that game I couldn’t see straight but I stayed in um but it just for me I’ll
Never forget I felt the pressure of coming back and it wasn’t even about winning a Heisman I know it was going to win it was like just trying to win a third Championship it was just it I just felt pressure that year to be great like
I had to be great people like you were going to be the number one pick if you came out I was like I don’t think I was I wasn’t healthy I didn’t feel right so there’s just a lot of of pressure that I kind of put upon myself to like have to
Lead this team so you didn’t go back you you came back because you thought you so I was dude so I mean you know how it works but it was me Alex Smith and Aaron Rogers and I had just came off the great performance in the Orange Bowl and so
Like kind of riding that wave and I had a messed up elbow I ended up getting surgery on and that was a part of it and also honestly I just I just didn’t want to leave school like I’m like I love what we’re doing I truthfully like I just
Graduated um so I had to take one class my senior year ballroom dancing ballroom dancing dude so good I took that with Mark Sanchez by the way sanito sanito um he was a true freshman um but uh anyway so Notre Dame okay so they
Were good like it was it was it was the first time I just I told this to Brady that uh not too long ago we got off the bus on I think Friday like Friday walk through you go to the stadium and screw around a little bit and there was like
600 students waiting for us and so the story goes he told me he’s like you know why they were there I was like why he’s like I they had a pep rally the night before they said hey sc’s getting here at 2 o’clock we need to show out talk
[ __ ] do whatever you need to do like screw with them so we get out and Notre Dame is not really like it’s not really like a hostile environment you know like it’s a it’s a cool place to play but it’s not like probably playing in the SEC or some of these crazy atmospheres
But that year it was and we get out and I’ll never forget sark’s like Sark takes me like kind of by my shoulder and he’s like walking me through they made a tunnel for us but they’re just like Signs talking [ __ ] flipping us off it was awesome dude I’m like yeah think
This is going to be fun so that’s when I knew right when I got off the bus I’m like this is going to be a battle because they were good too like they like they could have easily beaten us obviously that was when I knew it was
Like all right this is going to be a game and then the game man it just started slow dude like it was just kind of like one of those games like feeling each other out the the second half picked up for sure like the second half
Was more back and forth um the first half was just slow it was just one of those things and then the one thing that stands out to me let’s just talk about that last Drive CU you guys were going back and forth you guys weren’t playing
That great and that could be because of rivalry I mean it was a hostile environment you got Touchdown Jesus oh they had a pun return too zakowski that’s right zakowski over here boxing and and returning puns for tast we got let’s walk let’s walk down this last
Drive that you guys had hold on before we go to the last Drive um I want to touch on one thing that not that Notre Dame did they the Jersey Switcheroo so stupid did they did so so they came out in their traditional blue or their dark
Navy for pregame when they went back in and they didn’t and Brady said they didn’t know it was a surprise so they I think they’ve worn maybe the green jerseys a handful of times right but prior to that um for like matchups or I think when it was the number one team in
The country maybe they also had have not to cut you off they have um they’re kind of Street Killers a little bit so there was something something behind it so they after pregame they go in and Brady’s like all of our green jerseys were hanging so they were like let’s go
Like they were just you know it was like just totally amping them up motivation is it D2 the Mighty Ducks are back kind of right dude remember that when they became Team USA and they come out in the second half with the duck uniform d by
The way top top five sport movie of all time um uh yeah so then they come out in the green jerseys and we’re like oh my god dude I I just hate Notre Dame dude I still hate Notre Dame just bunch of arrogant [ __ ] but that’s fine that’s
For another story uh so that just that just was like screw these guys um but okay the drive so Brady scores with what two minutes left right it was a couple minutes 20 204 and obviously plenty of time uh we had a couple timeouts or one timeout at least you guys have that
Third you guys have second and 20 and you third and 20 I remember every play doe the first play uh cover two it was like a comeback turned to a fade it was not open so I threw it out of bounds second play I get sacked second and 20 or yeah I get
Sacked so now it’s third and 20 and we call timeout hit Reggie and I’m on the sideline and they’re like I don’t know what Play We called at that point but we’re like if it’s not there just check down to Reggie obviously it’s Ford we’re
Going for it on fourth down uh let’s try and get half back little check down how’s the guy’s eyes in the Huddle when you’re calling this player are we are we dialed locked in dud locked and I’ll get to that it was it was the it was one of
The coolest and you’ve been in huddles like that for sure Super Bowl game-winning drives like we just knew like it was just one of those things where you didn’t even have to say anything we just like we kind of been there dude like we had a couple comebacks in this time everyone thinks
We blew everybody out there were a couple games we like hey we got a we got a fourth quarter we got to step up yeah um it just we just it it was pretty cool so third and 20 we get 11 back so then I think we might call timeout again I
Think yeah it was another timeout because we yeah it was another it was our last timeout we call I’ll never forget trouble right 61 Sam y option all right so it was trips right so front tight end Dominic bird who was good was running an option round right around the
Sticks cover to Steve Smith who was great was going to run it kind of post split the safety kind of high low there and then if it’s single high Dwayne runs our backside comeback which he was great at and that was the matchup I always liked anyway and then Reggie’s out on a
Little option route but they said hey if you see any single high let’s let’s check to slugo win Old School slugo win was our bread and butter and I don’t think it was it might have been zakowski but so okay so the part of the Huddle so
I come in and I swear to god dude it was the loudest i’ ever been in and Notre Dame’s not traditionally loud but I couldn’t hear myself talk and everybody is just you could just see it everybody’s just like laser focused I’m like trouble I’m yelling trouble right
617 hey look for my hands I’m going to I’m going to check to slogo in if I see this look whatever and at the line of scrimmage I don’t even think like I’m getting Goosebumps just thinking about I don’t even think uh they heard me [ __ ] say hike dude they it was like
You know dude when all 11 are on like the same page to make a play to win a freaking game or to make a play like that is like nothing better in football in my opinion everybody does their job especially in a especially in a moment
Like that so like yeah the throw gets a lot of credit but the line like every we checked didn’t hear [ __ ] everyone slid protection blocked Dwayne just right over the shoulder boom out the gate for 60 thank God he got got hawked because if it would have scored been like over a
Minute left they probably would they probably would have came down and scored on us um but that moment man it was like it was just like looking back you know there’s a little nerves you’re like [ __ ] we got to make this play or we lose but
Like just never a doubt it just felt like never a doubt then you guys go in and and you guys get to the red area so we get to the red area and Reggie had a really good third down like that’s a play people forget about cuz we had no
Timeouts left it was like third and 4 and we ran 28 seconds or something yeah so we ran like a little uh like outside Zone and he got the first down by like a yard col football it stops the clock once you get first down it stopped so
Then we could huddle um so that was a play and then the next play We Go scramble is when I scramble and I and I fumble and that was [ __ ] were you terrified that it would then dude I was like when I look back I’m like dude like
I was a pretty good athlete just jump like three Ines higher and I’m I score yeah like I would literally watch that play a thousand times and I’m like embarrassed because I could like I could dunk back then like I was like a sneaky good like kind of lazy hopp I could dunk
A little bit but you know and I look back at that play and I’m just like God what an embarrassment that was but I fumble no clue where the ball went I kind of got you know petted like that clock goes out dude CL well okay so I do
Remember getting up and I see the ref like right next to me going like this like clock stopped out of bounds with with uh obviously I think they put 7 seconds on but like 3 seconds on the clock and the next thing I know is there storming the field Charlie Weiss on the
Jumbotron and I’m just like what just happened I just lost the game literally in my mind I’m like but then then they start circling up I’m like no the ball’s out of bounds so then I’m like okay we’re good so then the bush push so it’s pretty cool so we
The so they’re all just commotion they’re while everyone’s getting off the field we’re kind of like right at the line of scrimmage 7 seconds left and our I should have clocked it for sure our clock signal was always a built-in quarterback wedge no matter what so the lineman always block QB
Sneak whether I sneak it or clock it regardless obviously they kind of know in in the time of the game or whatever but I had told them up there because there was like a minute there where I’m I’m going to Pete like hey this was our
Sign you want me to like you want me to do it he’s like do it like whatever so I’m like [ __ ] [ __ ] it dude I’m doing it so Reggie did he do that to you think Russell Wilson and in the Super Bowl with us too I mean what the worst call
Of all time it’s all right how dude how about Mara just calling him out too the other day I love I love Marsha um right after that all the linemen are standing up and Reggie comes up to me and I go what I go dude I think I’m going to do
It I like what should I do he’s like I got you that was it it was like a two second thing I get up dude and you could see there dude zakowski is right over the a block a a G this guy’s going to box punch me in the face as I’m trying
To sneak all these big dudes I had no business trying to sneak that play I was on the one and a half one yard line all I remember dude is fall falling in the end zone I didn’t even remember I didn’t feel Reggie push me I’m thinking I get
Up I’m like might have shed a tear I don’t even know what’s going on I’m like this and then after the game Reggie Reggie I think there’s a video of Reggie comes on me he’s goes you know I pushed your ass in right and I’m like yeah yeah
Yeah yeah I had no clue dude so like the bush push became that after but I had no clue he pushed me in cuz dude it was just like there was like 50 bodies on me dude I had no idea I got in and now Philadelphia uses it every week the tush
Push dude that’s where it originated from 100% he so he did that play with Stafford in Detroit the same the same play dude it was I mean it was probably 10 years ago he’s a Serial Pusher he’s a Serial Pusher dude he just likes to get
Up in there and just that had to be such a cool feeling I mean that’s this is the old one of the old dude it’s college football rivalries West Coast versus the Midwest it was uh like Catholics versus not you guys not the convicts that’s for sure um I would
Say this dude like I kind of talked about that huddled like the moment like that was really special looking back and then like the locker room after like it was the only time you know you’ve been in locker rooms where like we were so um just the pressure dude like we were just
Like and we end up lose in Texas but like the pressure to win and just every week it was a grind dude it was an emotional grind and guys are college students too dude that game was so emotional so we were in the locker room
And I kid you not like there were guys like just crying because they like not like you know just C like one tier just like like like a relief um and it was really it was special dude it was a really special thing and then I’ll never
Forget we had a players only meeting so that was Saturday we had a players only meeting on Monday cuz we weren’t playing we weren’t playing great state of the union we had a state of the union dude and we were just like yo like we all
Need to like take a deep breath and like hold ourselves accountable both sides we I stood up and talked our remember because I wasn’t playing very well in my mind and then we started rolling and then we had the Fresno State game which was close but but yeah man that would
That year was that was nuts man well people don’t realize when when you guys are like who you are at that time everyone is circling you coaches will get jobs if they beat you players are going to get drafted if they they beat you you guys are America’s we Scot paid
For a decade off that game yeah and he got fired and got paid for eight years later I think he went to Kansas he was getting like eight million a year from Notre Dame for like eight years dude because of that game because of that game I mean that that’s crazy and then
You guys go on you didn’t oh no you weren’t there Charlie Charlie was in New England he was well I know everything about he’s there’s a he was with Tom right for to the first couple years there’s an Infamous office called Charlie’s office that I yeah I got
Brady’s got some good Charlie wife stories yeah he and you could always you know everyone would always when we were breaking down the offense cuz he was the one who kind of made our offense with the zero zero out slot zero out slot zero out slot fing you know and it
Evolved to what it became but he was he was definitely a good play caller and he was a huge part of the early success of those Patriot teams zakowski N9 and0 what’s up N9 and0 in his boxing career I know 9 and0 his first match was at Madson Square Garden
While he was a student at at Notre Dame that’s pretty cool yeah he was he was a good player dude he was tough as [ __ ] yeah so just the aftermath USC went on 12-1 that year you mentioned the Fresno State game 50 to 42 you guys pulled that
One out Reggie Bush won the Heisman and lost in the in the iconic um 2005 but 2006 um I mean the entire season was vacated like really are we back was it is it back though who cares we smashed everybody except Notre Dame in Texas but
We’re out of the record books that’s for sure how but they’re going to bring it back though who cares it doesn’t matter is he getting his Heisman back I don’t know I you got to ask him people always say like oh those wins don’t count I’m like really like it’s sound
Like Reggie took steroids dude like it’s not like he that’s dumb yeah it’s so dumb he he took money how do you feel about like the nil and that all being kind of fair game now does it like is it like salty or or how do you feel about
That wrong time I was in the wrong era playing college that’s for sure um I’m I’m all for nil obvious I mean yeah like looking back I mean we it wasn’t we didn’t even think about it because it wasn’t it didn’t exist but I mean obviously people were getting money and
All over the country but how much money did you get how I how big was the pay cut when you got to the NFL dude I didn’t get any money in college I swear to God I swear to God just a bunch of
Freak CL I would I I got yeah I mean a bunch of club stuff right I drove a Ford Ranger I drove my for my first ever car when I was 16 was a stick shift Ford White Ranger extended cab I drove that throughout my college career I remember
When I came back I used to drive down the road my my my Ranger and all my boys would be like dude no one’s giv you a car yet I said no man this is my joy ride dude this and I had and my dad my
Dad ended up because then when I got drafted I got a Tahoe but I wanted to keep my truck I was like I want to keep it it’s like my truck sentimental value my mom and dad sold that thing because it was stuck at their house for years
They sold it without telling me dude I was pissed they’re like this is not you don’t even drive it sit in our driveway we’re selling that thing um no man I got I just honestly it sounds so it sounds like I’m lying I just really wasn’t
Exposed to it like I didn’t run into people who would be like hey I did I did uh run into like some autograph people like at the award show like hey I got like kind of like what Manzel did like hey I got 100 pictures I give you 10
Grand and I I remember I was with my brother in Orlando and we’re like no we’re good um but like never it just never I never really met anyone like that yeah I tell that to everybody I swear like [ __ ] I wish I would have but Alabama guys and and all the Florida
Guys that I played with during the urban years oh dude they all took pay cuts yes they took a lot of pay cuts yes so the just to wrap up the game the final score was 34 to 31 uh and then Notre Dame went on to the Fiesta Bowl they finished 9
And2 where they lost to Ohio State they they lost the next four games to USC as we mentioned Jeff smar went on to play for the Cubs very successful career Tom Bowski was N9 and0 as a boxing career Brady Quinn went to the NFL draft a few years later Weiss was fired then
Replaced with Brian Kelly wait Brian Kelly was he was an ex coach oh I didn’t know that I guess he was there for a long time yeah he was there for a long time what is this bush push rank amongst alltime controversial calls I honestly I don’t even people talk about that I
Don’t think it is well because it technically technically section three article 2B of NCAA rule book States te couldn’t push someone in the runner shall not grasp a teammate and no other player of his team shall grasp push lift or charge into him to assist him in forward
Progress if the penalty has been called the push would have resulted in a 5-year penalty and play can’t call that on the end of play you can’t call that at the end of the game yeah I mean it could be it could be it could be considered controversial that’s for sure you guys
Have SC hasn’t been SC since then where’s this where’s that dynasty rank all time I you guys are up there yeah we I mean in modern day we got I mean Bama’s been a great Dynasty we got to be up there Miami had a good run
Um I mean I think I would put us I mean you go go back in history books but I think I put us up there as top two or three dynasties two titles three Heisman yeah I mean being a California kid that was like our badge because we
Like all our best C California kids went there and you always hear about Texas you hear about Ohio State and I we I wore it with you guys I mean we always like it was all like that was when the um the Cal Texas high school all-star
Game was and Texas like oh we got the best high school football which was good Florida but it was like C Cali always got a little like slided I think right always yeah it was pretty cool to rep like West Coast and USC you know what I
Mean like and to beat we beat every SEC team we played any I mean in that era we beat everybody you know we lost to Cal and we lost to Texas but we beat Auburn we beat Arkansas we beat Michigan um and even after I left we still we had a run you
Know we beat all those teams yeah beat Virginia Tech too beat Ohio yeah Ohio stay at the shoe Matt Barkley’s freshman year Virginia Tech that was a game [ __ ] that was a tough ass game did you play at the we played at uh Pro we played not
Pro play we played with the Redskins play commanders now but um so we didn’t play VCH that place gets I played there have you yeah I heard man they open up with the and S and the Stadium’s built like this yeah so it’s not that biggest
Stadium like a lot of those old stadiums that you guys yeah but it’s loud as hell loud because the the pitch when did you play there I played there in 2006 seven you guys got smacked up there we got smacked because they were good those years they were good can we talk about
Xavier DB covering Reggie Bush that whole game before he po TOS to peek well I was going to say so he no he got hurt early in that game yeah so they that I remember that was opening game I’ll never forget that was 04 and I was like dude this the fastest defense
I’ve ever seen on film they had Eric green who ended up playing with in um he was a second round pick Corner their other Corner was a first round pick I think um big tall guy not Jim Jimmy Williams Jimmy will I was saying Jimmy Smith or Jimmy William Jimmy Smith with
The callado Jimmy Williams maybe yeah he played for a while um Xavier DB but he tore his PEC or his bicep but I’ll never forget dude we had fourth quarter they had just the outside linebacker who shouldn’t have been playing outside linebacker and we we’d always offset Reggie try to get man
Obviously and I just he ran a wheel route I’m like oh dude touch I mean we that was the play that put us we only won 24 13 I think but that was it I remember seeing that I’m like oh dude you’re not covering Reggie out back I
Bet you Reggie in this day and age would be like if he were to come and be put into this football he was he was he was he was still Dynamic he was still a beast he yeah he was used that way in New Orleans for a while but it wasn’t as
Sexy to talk about like he was Christian mcaffrey before Christian mcaffrey lowkey yeah he uh he was probably just ahead of his time in that in that role he I mean I think his rookie year dude he had like 70 catches I remember um because I mean Shawn pton and Drew like
It was a perfect it was perfect for him and then he had he had a good year in Miami he had a good year in Detroit but yeah he just was kind of ahead because you know now now these guys catching balls 60 you know they’re doing
Everything man you know what make it’s a it’s a crazy correlation but it makes me think the way you guys treated your team your practice your everything how Pete embraced the celebrities it kind of reminds me of today’s landscape with what Dion’s doing at Colorado it’s a
It’s very similar very similar I think use everyone to come over here make it a fun place to play dude it I he has been in my opinion so great for football I mean especially College one he’s Dion right so he’s one of the greatest athletes one of the greatest football
Players to ever live he’s an incredible human being uh he’s an incredible motivator inspiring all these things uh he’s pretty good coach too you know like I I I think he kind of does more of the just managing and he’s the motivator and all that but dude he’s he’s he’s totally
Just like won the transfer portal has changed the way college football is but he’s just just the way he is like he’s unapologetically him he gets the most out of his players um he’s kind of he’s just it’s kind of a fresh a breath of fresh air in a sense you know like
Because he is who he is he doesn’t give a [ __ ] what people say he’s he’s Dion he’s never cared about that his players like he’s got work to do his players kind of fit that mold and they’re out there having fun they’re they are embracing everything that college
Football is nil transfer portal I’m going to be me I’m going to be myself because you know and uh he’s been awesome man like he don’t have to win another game and it’s been a major success he has put them on the map he will recruit that place I don’t know if
You’ve been to Colorado it’s beautiful the facilities like he can win there because they’re going to the big 12 now we’ll see if he stays in a couple years but um yeah he’s been great man he great for college football his son is a star
Like it it’s awesome we we I mean you guys originated this is the bush push once once and for all are they gonna Outlaw this this push think they’re gonna outw think so yeah I think so it’s I don’t I don’t think they should but with the way the League’s going right
Now oh dude because a lot of guys can get hurt the league is going soft dude you can get hurt yeah the league is dude Matt sha had a Liz Frank doing a QB sneak Albert hanesworth landed on his foot you’ll never foret that was then I
Ended up starting next next week um yeah I mean injuries and all that I just I just think there’s too many people that hate I just think from a competition standpoint I see nothing wrong with it I don’t he like dude it’s say it’s they’re saying it’s not a football play I mean
It’s probably the original football play exactly stop it’s literally the first play that they probably ran at y over dude it is a it is just I love it cuz it’s it’s the major just Fu you know it’s coming and you can’t stop us for two yards they’ve been they’ve been
Stopped a couple times he basically said it’s like playing uh like first and every time because they know they can get a yard every time plus Jaylen HZ dude they got a great old line they just they just perfected it you see other teams doing it and they can’t do it no
Let’s go to score this game we have this segment where we score it we have any leftover questions Kyler I missed a couple stuff so um Notre Dame and USC is a long story rivalry they played for the jwel chele uh it started in 1926 the juwel chele I don’t know it’s
Like an Irish CL or something I don’t even know did you ever use it no I had it on the show last week cuz I had to dress up as a leprechaun I saw that [ __ ] that’s embarrassing that was embarrassing you’re too tall of to be a
Leprechaun dud it just made me feel ugly man I just couldn’t I couldn’t and by the way we did the whole a block in that thing I was like I didn’t realize I had to talk in that I was loud I was like dude I can’t [ __ ] I can’t be serious
Right now wearing this Halloween costume yeah anyways how the how the [ __ ] do you guys lose that game I mean did you watch it yeah I did they got their ass kicked and then the origin of the Notre Dame USC rivalry is recounted as a conversation between
Wives from Notre Dame’s head coach n rockney and USC athletic director Gwyn Wilson um and the uh Notre Dame leads the overall series 49- 37 and5 did you know they’ve won 18 national championships is it 18 and they don’t even count half of them there some C
[ __ ] I was I saw when I was walking on the stadium I saw them all the banners I’m like damn lot history there uh the fog I [ __ ] up on the fog self check here uh the fog was a 2005 Supernatural horor it was a I said Stephen King it’s
Not it a remake of John car’s 1980 film The Fog of the same name no one no one watched that mov and then one yeah and then one last little nugget uh Colt Brennan’s career stats at Hawaii played for three years hold on let me let me try hund and like 20 touchdowns
115 131 131 is that crazy 42 interceptions and then he threw for 14,000 193 yards I remember he Heen one all time or is it um what’s his name I’m sure it’s some Texas Tech Guy it’s a no it’s it’s a Case Keenum I think is all
Time who was the guy that followed him too there was like Asian quarterback he was before or before he was two before Timmy Tim Chang I like Timmy Chang Timmy Chang could Sling It sling it dude cuz you be on I think he’s the head coach
There now is he dude so my f we played we had a home in home with them and my first year it was or no we played him like three years three or four years he came Hawaii came to us um and Timmy was a quarterback and he just dude it was
The run and shoot dude he would just sling it dude he could play so and he he was on those good that like St Louis I think he was in like when that high school was just sending guys out Timmy Chang is the head coach of Hawaii right
Now he’s the second all time at passing yards at 177,000 and Case Keenum is first with 19,000 wow so let’s score this game we have this whole segment okay one out of 10 n of the game is the bush push or or the the bush push game
Bush push yeah just Bush push Bush push all right so it’s just the bush push Stakes of this game 0o to 10 oh decimal is okay 27 game win streak I would say I would say 10 because if we lose we’re we’re not in the national championship
Game because that was the BCS era so we probably I yeah every you you could probably look it up but I think there’s a couple teams maybe that finish undefeated that year so we would have been out so uh losing your rival kept us out of
The BCS title game third and no one had ever won a third Championship star power Marcus Allen Ronnie lot star power are we doing overall overall the whole thing and teend of the game or history because you’re saying oh in attendance in attendance Marcus Allen and Ronnie lot
Were there also Tim Brown and Joe Montana also Rudy Rudy was Rudy oh [ __ ] that in that case I mean you got to go 10 you got you got well dude you got before Tommy you got the greatest quarterback of all time you got Tim Brown Heisman Trophy whoa whoa in
College well Tom is the greatest quarterback of all time oh I thought you’re okay I’m just saying Joe Montana was the greatest quarterback of all time until Tom took over but he got close one oh yeah no dude dud Tom about Tom’s a goat Tom and Joe are the goat Joe
Greatest one of top two greatest quarterbacks of all time Tim Brown Heisman Marcus Heisman Ronnie lot one of the best defensive players ever if not the best you could argue top never play in this era top top three why not because could cover anybody no because he would they just they’re they’re
Suspending guys for four plays on not even the hardest hit that Ron lot doesn’t even have a ring finger dude he just he got that chopped off when he played it’s a different game I loved Rony lot Rony lot was so good was the gam playay of this zero to oh yeah cuz
You were n probably n um Dwight mon game play ah gameplay I’d give it a six no i’ give it a five it was a terrible Game Dude five yeah but that fourth qu final drive yeah but that’s 2 minutes the whole game was terrible the name Bush push that’s a 10
Dude that’s such a great a good name is it not a great name it’s a great name you could like just that name could mean a lot of different things I’m I’m I’ve been currently so 35 out of and I have a first grader so my daughter’s into this
Huge rhyming so Bush push yeah you yeah you’re teaching her it’s good 875 yeah man that’s a good is a big game 875 I just think the game play was just overrated people think it’s a like like the Texas game I’d give that a 10 or a
Nine but that so with 8.75 in our in our so far in our totals it ties with the 1999 Women’s World Cup final USA versus China how is that not higher who you’re you’re you’re tapping a Nerf here our scoring system is [ __ ] [ __ ] and it needs to be completely look at number
One wait Mavericks Maverick he at the uh cuz CU Mark Cuban came here and just gave everything 10 there’s a lot of you had some come in for each one of these yeah that’s pretty sweet yeah yeah so this game is the wheelchair game what a
Joke Paul Pierce I mean did he [ __ ] his pants did he not I mean it’s right up there with the did he come in we we zoomed him in you zoomed him in that was probably a pretty funny interview yeah he was he was smoking hookah the whole
Time in his backyard with his pool you guys got some good it’s pretty this a pretty diverse list here though we got some we got some stuff yeah this is this is right up there with it man yeah so this game is nestled in we’re eight we’re an eight something ties with
Women’s World Cup just below the Iron Man match Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart ridiculous and just above the uh 20 to3 Super Bowl Patriots Falcons can we talk about your catch it was a lucky catch yeah but it was [ __ ] awesome I was watching that [ __ ] I was like yeah you
Knew did you know did you think you knew yeah I knew you always know yeah it was this much dude yeah but I was under it I felt it you felt you felt yeah you know you you know just like in Kansas City to get there or that was the next one
Remember the punt that almost touched me I knew didn’t touch me either that didn’t touch but that catch was dude that was the catch it was a good catch but it was a it was a lucky catch dude yeah like my throw fourth and nine was I
Mean dude one inch the other way it’s incomplete yeah but it’s a product of you making that throw so many times just yeah that catch is just that bounce you just yeah but that was a product I used to do these reaction drills every day
Did you get a truck no that was the first year they didn’t give fck did you go to Disney World yeah I went Disney World was that cool went Disney World twice it was awesome against Seahawks and then for this one and then you get you get a nice little bonus for Super
Bowl MVP huh I think you get like 50 Grand nothing crazy they don’t give you [ __ ] that’s like what you get for going to Super Bowl you get the bonus if you win the whole Super Bowl when we oh you get 100 or something you get a total cuz
You it went up every every game yeah you get a total of like 210 or something which is a lot of money don’t get me wrong to a lot of people but if you think about your salary what your you get paid weekly for regular season
You’re you’re yeah it’s a pay cut but I love because the year we went to the Super Bowl it was awesome man because the whole you know like the practice squad everybody got the same check which is cool you know so those guys made 100 Grand you know yeah that was cool damn

Wrinkle here this is a a Backyard Brawl oh West Virginia Pittsburgh wow it gets deeper I like these two guys know but they the colleges are a big rivalry I like that’s what you got to take from this that goddamn conference got some some ball players got some Big E ball

Get ricky Williams on please !!
Patriots better not go for Caleb 😅 if we can somehow pull it off I would take Harrison Jr quarterbacks are very important but we also don't have any wide receivers nor do we have an offensive line that was also a big problem for Mac Jones and zappe I think of Mac had a better top receiver and a better o line he definitely would have had a better year like the year he had during his rookie season IMO
Great episode, Matt was excellent.
That was a good show but Matt man, let Jules finish his sentence.lol
Jules talking about looking at them like pros when he was the same age is crazy cause he had a better pro career than any of em. Rlly shows you where peaks and perseverance matters in sports.
Matty Leinart doesn’t miss a chance to let you know someone was a baller.
How do I get that hat 😍
I wonder why Matt never made it in the league?? Maybe it was “I threw the ball good with two gloves but it didn’t look cool” attitude 🤷🏻♂️😂
Get Brian Cushings on
I was 13 living in LA, I was a big basketball fan never liked football but these boys went crazy and i became a football fan SC been my team ever since
Do the Nick Foles Eagles Super Bowl game
Great interview just wish Matt would have not interrupted Julien every time he tried talking smh.
Love Jack at the end 😂😂😂
31:04 nahhh man gotta be Vince or all 4 of em vince,Line,Matt,Julian
I feel for Matt, has his truck and was wanting to keep it and the getting sold that must of sucked 😂
Jules, when you start getting your white T's at baby GAP? 😅😅😅
Dropping a pulp fiction line at the beginning
If a guest says 10 they should immediately bumped to 9.9 unless the room unanimously agree. This list is in shambles with all these 10s 😂
Gotta say, i grew up despising those USC teams…but this has turned my feelings about Matt Leinart. He's a true football guy. Loved it. Can't wait for you guys to get together again.
Love your pod brother’ get diggs on there for the Minnesota miracle 💜
Those SC teams were nuts. Reggie Bush is the best CFB player i have ever seen. He was must see tv and im in the midwest. We had to stay up until 2:00am to watch the SC games.
I've never watched this podcast. I like it though.
Did not expect that amount (or any amount at all) of Hawaii talk
The way he describes his time at USC, what they did, how they played, what they played for, the camaraderie, the lifestyle. Emotionally, the guy had basically lived the best moments a football player has ever hoped for. Yes it was not NFL money; but they were doing pretty good for a kid their age. So there is no way that dude was going to the dump Arizona Cardinals was at that moment and find that magic again. And that is a very common thing for college successful athletes. It’s not a general rule though (Jordan and others); but it is common. Look at Edelman, and even Brady, he had none of that in college; so he had to fight for it in the pros.
I would watch USC just to hope to catch a Reggie Bush highlight live. He was soooo much fun to watch.
45:25 ..any MMA fans catch that? Only the hardcore’s would notice & who knows how many of those are football fans too watching this podcast.. but Matt said “Orlavski & Schaub” ..Andre Orlavski is an MMA legend who fought Brendan Schaub (who also played football at Colorado & had some talks with some NFL teams before signing with the UFC)… I don’t know who Matt’s talking about here, but what a weird coincidence.
my little cousin is Hershel Dennis from lb poly .. yall had a squaaaad at SC..!
Great podcast! Matt was a great guest to talk about the game. I had another YouTube channel up with the game on to follow Matt talking about it play by play. Great guest and game fellas
Matt was The Man. Personified SoCal in the 2000s. Thanks for the memories Matt👏
USC got put on probation
How do you know he is a great person?how do you know he gets most out of his players?
Can’t read, can’t write, Kent State
Dwayne Jarrett was a beast
I remember that ND game I was in south bend and that was the one we let get away
People forget too quick. I thought leinart never really got his chance in the nfl either. He did great on the Texans before he got hurt. Every qb that played for them that year got smashed lik
Thanks to your buddy Pete Carol , don't be sad though Reggie lost his to
Yeah you'll left USC a mess
Tell Jules to throw that shirt in the trash. The sweat stains with the whole in the underarm is annoying me.
Hope to see manziel on this show one day
Never heard of this Mathew leinhart though
