Transcript

00:00It seems like you and Phil Knight have an awesome relationship.

00:02He's obviously a huge part of Oregon football.

00:05No doubt.

00:06Do you have a favorite memory with Phil Knight over the last couple years?

00:11I mean, there's been several, but most of them probably circulate around, you know, games.

00:15After games, getting to see him, you know, after we won the Big Ten championship, you know,

00:18and see him and know how special that moment was for him or after a bowl win.

00:23Just him being in the locker room with us after games.

00:25It's special that, you know, a couple that have done so much, Phil and Penny, have done so much for not just Oregon,

00:31but sports in general, and the world cares so much about this place, which makes it unique.

00:36For the people who don't get to see Phil Knight after a Big Ten championship game, what does that look like?

00:40Yeah, has he got a big smile on his face?

00:42You're missing out.

00:42He's wearing a big smile, and then he's always worried about the next one, right?

00:46He's worried about the next one.

00:47This guy's a winner in every way and a giver in every way.

00:50And, again, you know, I think he gets a lot of credit for what's happened here at Oregon,

00:55and he deserves a lot of that, but I'm just as impressed with what he's done away from here.

00:58The philanthropy that his family has shown, the impact that he's had on the world is really impressive.
