C was in the same conference as rudgers when guys
Speaker 1
were signing a n i l contracts to play for schools that wern't more than rooky contracts. Tat tan f el member those days, college ade. And it all fell apart, and then they decided everybody was ben there as no more left. Tough timing for you. You got arch manning this year. That's like you're ready to roll. Ye,
Speaker 3
it's not dead for me yeti four years a arch, we got arch. Baby. Was
Speaker 1
that the biggest moment in a ou t history?
Speaker 3
Sob was there in 99 when they signed chris simms, who was also royalty. Who was i? So fruit was from new jersey. I remember somebody asked me on twitter, cause i was sweet about it, somebody's like, how did you find out that chris simms had committed t the long horns in 19 99. I was li, oh, what an old guy question. I doas like i felt like grandpa in talking about listening to the flash on the radio. But i think the ser probably was the radio. I
Speaker 1
would tak the radio to, so to toas the 20 20 flash,
Speaker 3
yes, which
Speaker 1
was so important. And t seems crazy now, cause it's just been replaced by 19 things. But the 20, i remember listeing to te radio, beligot, 20 20 flashes coming up. Want to find out if there's be any trades or frage sinings. That's one way. And then the other way was the s pan, the ticker, right? Those were the two ways we got information for
Speaker 3
sure. Ye. I jmee, message boards in the late nineties, i guess. And there was a huge delay, ecause i remember going back and talkn to my roommate, like, i part went to class and then came back tell my roommate. He's like, wat, what? Chris rams? This is wild. Nobody knew. Is
Speaker 1
it true? Ye, there is that in the nineties. There is that. Remember in the red sok, cat pedro in ithe same thing as ik. Is this true? Like, i you te obost need like the second source. Now, everythingis instantaneous. Now we've moved into this world where a player can make a trade request, and that's immediately disseminated across all platforms. And now we're reacting to it in real time and just yon crazy and losing our muts.
