00:00How about that Bruins?
00:03Yeah, man.
00:04Love it.
00:05I talked to Dynamite Stevens, old linebacker, Ray Bell, and the boys,
00:12Theodore Nichols, the crew to have the 50th anniversary of the Rose Bowl
00:16victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes upcoming.
00:22And it's Nick Vermeule, all the guys that went through that journey,
00:29was special.
00:30And this team, they have a lot of similarities to that,
00:35and just go out and get the job done.
00:37And they seem fearless, and it's been fun to watch them.
00:42What was the difference when you were there at UCLA,
00:45when you had Dick Vermeule,
00:47and then eventually Terry Donahue took over for that program?
00:50And it just seemed to be a different UCLA,
00:53and it's been wobbling in the desert for the last 30 or 40 years here, Doc.
00:58And now all of a sudden, you know, you bring Chesney in.
01:00You know, he just changed the culture.
01:02Is it really just a culture thing?
01:04Yeah.
01:05Well, you mentioned Vermeule and Donahue.
01:08Who's duplicated them?
01:09Nobody.
01:10And Chesney comes in.
01:11He's got the same kind of traits.
01:13He's always a great leader.
01:16That takes you to levels you haven't been before,
01:19because so many guys that get those positions aren't worthy of them.
01:24I mean, you know it.
01:25You know it just like I know it.
01:28And a lot of the industry is just buddy, buddy, buddy,
01:32and they're just not good at their jobs.
01:34So when you get a guy that's really committed,
01:37and especially when he's a fundamentalist,
01:40like Terry Donahue, offensive line,
01:42you've got to get people.
01:43It's blocking and tackling.
01:45If you don't block and tackle well, you've got no shot.
01:50And you attract, you know, we had John Shire.
01:52Every program's going to have a quarterback.
01:54That's the one thing about this equation that never fails.
01:59Nobody's successful with a bum at quarterback.
02:02And if you get that going and running back,
02:04we had Wendell Tyler, Eddie Ayers, those guys.
02:06Everybody's got backs because the game hasn't changed that much.
02:09It's still, can you control the line of scrimmage?
02:13And then can we put pressure on your quarterback?
02:15When that changes, holler at me.
02:17Let me know.
02:18Wake me up.
02:18Wake me out of my coma.
02:19Yeah.
02:19Wake me up.
02:19Wake me up.
