2:04It's time to go one-on-one with D.P. Sponsored by the Downtown Lincoln Foundation, on 93-7 the ticket. Say what? Go ahead, dance in your car. Dance in your office. That's your chair. Woo! Big day. What a hot, what a four in Lincoln America. You're gonna have to take your word for it. I don't think anybody wants to know bad enough to go on the shower with your box. Somebody of volunteer will wait. I thought my greatest accomplishments in singing come from but nobody can confirm it. Listen, I have cured every major disease in the shower. I have my brain activated to the shower. I'm going to be able to do it.

3:06I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I can cure my brain activated to the shower. I can cure. I can fix a Rubik's cube in the length of the shower. Oh, and then the moment I leave, I forget everything. I do. I cure diseases in all the world's problems at two o'clock in the morning for some reason. Another shower. Right before I go to bed. Like the moment I feel realize I'm tired enough that, okay, I'm going to fall asleep. Like I'll fall asleep, which is the cue. I'm going to go lay down when I'm ready to fall asleep and I've mastered that to get to the point where I, when I go to bed, I fall asleep in like 90 seconds. You're easy when you hit the sheets. Oh, when I when I'm ready, I'm ready. Like it's boom out like a light. And that's on purpose. But right as I turn so from in the living room.

4:06And then I walk towards the bedroom. I'm tired. I'm ready to go to sleep. The moment I reach for the bedroom door. Science. The ghost of Albert Einstein shows up. Derek. What if. Dog got it. Come on. I was going to sleep. I was going to sleep. I was going to sleep. I was going to sleep. Whatever you do, don't reach for the phone to look up whatever you're thinking about. Then you're away. What the box. Which is why I don't care my phone to bed. I have that rule. I do not care my phone a bit. In fact, it's not even on. When I'm going to bed, I turn it off. Like that's the signal to my to all of my spirit and my soul. I'm going to sleep.

5:06But that part. Because it's the thought. Well, how long is Don't Head Football. I don't know. I must know. I'm not kidding. I was up restless light. Last night, think about Isaiah's practice. Isaiah, I'm not as practice. Right. I'm not as practice. I'm not as practice. I'm not as practice. I'm not as practice. I'm not as practice. It's wait a minute. Who is the greatest player in Don history? Who is Nebraska Wesleyan's finest? Bach, who is the greatest athlete in the Brasko, Wesleyan history? I'll ponder. 1234. Yeah. I'm not on the table when you turn on the light. It does it. It does it. It still exists. It still exists.

6:07It still exists. It really is like that. It's, I will start to think back to. Huntsman Center. It was in 1981. What was that like it's, it's magic versus bird. And I like, wait a minute. So Greg Kelsey was, was magic right hand man. And Carl Knicks was Larry bird was Indiana State's second best player. What was the coach's name from Indiana State? Because it was Judd Heath code from Michigan State. Who was Indiana State head coach? Oh, I have to remember that tomorrow.

7:07Oh, I won't. That is the sport, the mind of a sports training full. Right. It's, I got to remember this. I got to show, oh, Bob, when do you get your show ideas? I'm not sure. Oh, anytime. Sure ideas to show up. But mostly you're right. Mostly when I fall asleep or don't have a phone. Write my notes down. I love them once we can think you're like really writing up a storm. And then you look at it later and you're like, I don't know if there's anything to that. I. You spend the wheel. You spend the wheel on your head. Let's see what lands. I just remember sometimes I think I had great notes last night. Go in and look in there and be like, This isn't anything. It doesn't make any sense. It's, what was I? Oh no, I've got to start printing because I laid it night.

8:07My handwriting goes all the way down. Handwriting. Listen, at 9 o'clock. It's. What was it? Glickery. Right. I think it's a little bit of a little bit of ink and this, you know, full form. Perfect. 1232. Everything written is just. Looks like cursive, but it's not. It's not. It's lines and circles, man. It has nothing. It's 79. Yep. Yeah, 79. You're right. See, this is dead. This is the problem. Right. If you're trying to think because I was trying to go through the first time, it was Indiana. The perfect season. 79. Michigan State 80 Indiana and Isaiah Thomas. 81. Bach. Any ideas. So the great black holes are 77 and 81. Because 82. You get on a run, right?

9:08Because it's Jordan, Biggest. Right. It's a run. Yeah. But 77. The year before Indiana's Kent Benson. I think it's a run. Run, right? Now Caroline was 82, right? Uh-huh. Yeah, 83. 83. 83. Houston. No. That's not wrong. No, they were good. They were good. 83, 84, 85, Big, Big East. Big East. Georgetown. And then the Georgetown lose to. Georgetown lost to Carolina. Then they beat Houston. Then when did Jim Valvano and the North Carolina state Wolfpeck? Yeah. Yeah. So this is 84. Right. So this is the, this is what happens to the brain of a sportsman. Is that you, you start to piece it and how you piece it together.

10:09But the 77 champions. Bach. I mean, now, now, now that is your burden. I can look it up. That is it. Yeah, you'll just look it up. But yeah, I don't know. There's no add no. Uh, do you know when did, does the name owl? There's a great coach. Who went into broadcast. Marquette had a run. With Bo Allison company. 76 in Indiana 75, 74. And then the group. All the teams were different. Different. Different teams were. Good. Didn't have to think of the four corners. The Carolina Tower Hills. Four corners of field forward. In that group. Then the UCLA run. The end of the wooden era. Right? So. Yeah, that makes it easier. If you just go to the wooden area, you can just say UCLA over and again. 77 was the market. See, yeah. You know who the coach was.

11:09He was he was the number one bad college basketball analyst for 15 years. I Know cuz I looked it up now. Yeah, right right. But I did learn just now that Rick my hair.

16:18I got it I got it like I get it I get it As I run I run to my office box like like a man man just typing away middle of the night And I was like nailed it And I did the one thing I wasn't supposed to do which was send it to anybody And I send it out to three different heads Just uh just for completion like in my head And the next morning I called my mentor and I said I apologize. I'm like I'm so sorry I'm sorry I did what you said not to do And and she was not happy with me Bob she was not happy Three weeks later I get an email I Asked me to interview with with one of the folks. I didn't even remember it doc I didn't remember what I'd written. Oh Yeah, that's how how blind and moment was

17:18And I had to add them have them When we got on the phone call I asked them To ask me a question To be inspired and they did and that's how I remembered what it was And I called my mentor and I said I Remember when I said I did the wrong thing she said yeah, I'm still mad about it. I was like yeah I got in I got in um Yeah Middle of the night bro Uh, he says stt. Taylor wasn't a starter in 85 that was uh Clayton and Travis Turner. Yeah, I'm a captain Clayton. So stt. Taylor started the bowl game That was the beginning of his start. But yeah, that would that would be more accurate wet blanket said I would have gotten 90s in 1977 but every 19-80s champion that I don't remember is the warble. Yeah 86 never nervous perverse and Darrell Griffith those are the two Um, which led to him being jacked number one by the you by the New Orleans jazz. Mm-hmm

18:23No, they were actually newtall that they were actually newtall they were the Utah jazz plankton um Man, I have to balance that year when the jazz moved from New Orleans to To Utah and they kept the name bot you want to you want to talk about a battle The legal battle the the the social battle of them trying to decide whether to keep the name jazz because Of course, we all identify jazz with Salt Lake City. That's the lily So uh bot do you know the name you see earthquake glues text When we asked who the greatest athlete in North Nebraska Wesley in history is he gives us a suggestion Is that a name that you know? But not at the time ahead So I'm gonna be Google and is it is it store or steer store? Stair I would assume store but Rudy store. Yeah From Nebraska, Wesley and bot let's use the Google monster and put in Nebraska Nebraska Wesley in Rudy store

19:24Eric go to your room go to your corner Of course, we're not chillin peppers. Did it better But go to your corner for being a smart but um miss even my dog bra Here's the thing I Buck and I landed on this national titles before The playoffs is like pro wrestling championships You're awarded national championship you didn't win them You didn't win them you didn't compete for them some They were you had a meeting of the powers to be and they said okay. Here's the best. Here's the champion. Here's the here's the cup What especially those like early 1900s that we were you talking about we were defending or you know the brass going undefeated you go back look at those there's like There's like 16 undefeated teams across the country and yes, and then at that point, you know the kind of the Notre Dame's the world Get it get them and and hang on to them, but um Yeah, they're fault they were near Chicago and There media people that that wrote stories and you know

20:27Shame on the people from Omaha for not writing more stories about the restaurant cornerhouse for football I just don't know if it went to football. Yeah, I get just that's what it was But there's straps were awarded and you take credit for them like we did that and no you did you awarded it and then That somebody decided that finally we're gonna make you win it And look listen, they are all playing Jim Like you could put that who did Notre Dame beating we three John John and Steve and tote And again, too like you have to it depends whatever you want to do with your own like the college football history I have to choose but there were like years where several players died We're talking about the arrow where there was no forward pass. Yeah, right? So and then obviously, you know the the uh Limitation will put it as that as far as those that can play who can play right in that last of a while So wherever you would have started You can kind of have a pretty good argument about where the the start date should begin listen

21:27I've served me national championship because I beat the pants off YMCA Yeah Those locals those locals weird listen they didn't even have nation had state champions that would have made more sense Yeah, you awarded the title there were territorial that's how that's where it all came from ethnic Bakuiko They figured it all out one that's what we needed though was the link of your start on my world hero Just to give out national championship in a brass gun they would undefeated because because a lot of those were because they knew football Well just because they're because you hadn't seen any of them there was no televised football You could you hadn't seen anybody you tell me about getting on the train and driving across country To see to see Penn State back in 1924 Tell me about what what that was like you weren't there you didn't see him you didn't know your buddy sent you a telegram Tell you got your news information you got a telegram hey you went I won the Hasman by telegram

22:32Well, that's when you know back then especially radio and radio started I mean that was powerful right because people were describing Things to you but they could get like The they could use that I mean they could get things like the sound like it was a lot more greatest College player in the world Yeah, it's the greatest runner in the world see Great is For special like boxing in those days is like that's how you that's how you got the that's like you heard it You couldn't you don't know what it is. It's all part of like this story that you fantasized in your head. Oh, they're included in the college man We don't need them in the in the college game. We don't need them until bear Brian goes yeah, we do Thank you Nebraska for for for for for for for being a pioneer and Being welcoming and including everybody. No, it's it's just funny to me that In the space right the rest of the country Not knowing about Nebraska football that That's part of the deal. There were always biases and the easiest way to determine who the best team in the country is is to play the stupid game

23:40Play the games the issue now currently still is there are people who vote on teams and players for awards and championships That haven't seen those players or championships teams play in a long time. Look right. They want to even look and it's brought to them digitally and they still want listen if I Think there should be some tracking some some confirmation that you actually watch More than one college football game on Saturday in order to to qualify to write stories and tell stories about who the best players in the country If you don't see every quarterback in the big 10 How can you vote about who the best quarterback in the big tennis? The problem that we work with among we know from a local level that not every media person Knows the number three quarterback at Nebraska

24:40But we talk about it like it oh Oh, yeah, here's the bastard. He's the second bastard. This is the but no Somebody told you that That's why it's it's so fast thing the heisman vote. They're you know, they do the fan vote And it's this very small percentage and um, you know, and and like counts as like one whatever Of of the of the total votes that go into it and I think that's very cool from the outside But once you've met a few people that have iceman post Then you'll go oh Yeah, I don't know. I mean that's that's the same power as that that pullback Pullback to was the boss curd box Okay Oh, you're just a dog catcher, bro Well, there's and maybe there's not a bit like you can find a better way to do it But there are there's something to do like if you're covering a team That's you're doing it for your newspaper whatever it is That's what you're focused on that day and it tastes that's what that's like one of the days that they pay for it's a huge thing So why are you the one that determines then what happened on that Saturday when you don't even have time you're covering your team

25:44You have it look And yeah, you have a look you haven't looked and listen It's happened. I'm in that media room and I can tell you people said things about the players who are playing that day And you just go no No, that's just it's okay to say you don't know It's okay to say you don't know Is this guy to good? I can't be placed north west Ah Is that what we're doing? Is that what we're doing? Well, and then you obviously the other thing is the heisman doesn't is there's not like a Here's how you win the heisman here's the recipe for it. It's just kind of We'll vote on it at the end get to some friends that'll talk about That's how to do it. Uh, Texas says this says I knew Rudy store. He taught pe and officiating at Lincoln East It was football basketball coach So also wants a big eight basketball official plate minor league baseball Uh, his famous claims where he wants to strike out Mickey Manel and I have heard of him
