[speaker001:] have a favorite for the Super Bowl or I guess being as all the rest the teams are eliminated that's about all we can talk about
[speaker002:] yeah right uh well I I think um uh oh I probably um I don't know watching my son's a big fan of uh of Washington
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and so uh for not not having any other real real preference I guess
[speaker001:] yes go for that well that's who I kind of thought uh that's who I was gonna kind of cheer for I just
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] think all the teams from the AFC are more or less like the minor leagues for the NFC lately so
[speaker002:] huh
[speaker001:] I just I hope they can give them a game I think it'll be a good game this year but I don't know in the past they haven't been so hot
[speaker002:] yeah yeah it's kind of kind of bad when they get blown out like
[speaker001:] do you uh yeah gets you know you you watch the Super Bowl for the commercials and that's about it all the new ones that come out so
[speaker002:] yeah just out of curiosity what uh people up in Utah um who who do who do people generally cheer for who are who are the close teams out there the California teams
[speaker001:] well I I think a lot of them uh uh kind of like me I I cheer I like players you know certain players and so I root for those teams and Brigham Young University of course is pretty big up here
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum sure
[speaker001:] and so a lot of people like the 49ers because Steve Young plays for them uh Jim McMahon plays for the Chicago Bears so they cheered for him you know when he played for them but he kind of got to be a jerk so nobody liked him anyway but
[speaker002:] uh-huh right
[speaker001:] uh a lot of 49ers I think uh more than anything I guess but uh
[speaker002:] uh-huh hm yeah I mean in in Texas there's there's plenty you know there's a fair amount to choose from between the Cowboys and and the Oilers and so
[speaker001:] yeah yep
[speaker002:] but
[speaker001:] yeah we I I've always been kind of a Cowboys fan I like them I'm glad to see they're doing a little bit better but I see I just usually root for players that I know of I guess and whatever happens happens so
[speaker002:] yeah well um-hum used to be the Cowboys I mean the Cowboys for for for so many years uh ended up essentially dominating or and and being so strong consistently and then the last few years being being just walked all over by everybody I mean they've they've lost a lot of fans
[speaker001:] oh yeah oh oh yeah well I think I think you'll see I bet in the nineties they come out and I'll bet they're the team to beat is I mean they got so many first and second round picks again this year that I think they're gonna be really tough and Jimmy Johnson
[speaker002:] I yeah yeah sure yeah they're they're obviously rebuilding quite pretty well and and stuff
[speaker001:] oh yeah that Jimmy Johnson seems to know what he's doing too are you
[speaker002:] yeah I I didn't know how he was gonna make the transition into professional ball um
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] you know it's one thing to be a real successful college coach now I I at least I imagine it is um you know and and then
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] it seem like it would be quite different to to be coaching pros
[speaker001:] oh yeah well you'd think that the just the personalities the people it it it would seem a lot harder to get them motivated I mean it's a job then and you know you're not out for school spirit or whatever you know you're out for the fifty grand
[speaker002:] yeah yeah course course also at that at that level I mean you're dealing with people who who who know you know who who are competitive obviously or they wouldn't be there and they're motivated obviously or they wouldn't be there you know
[speaker001:] yeah that's true yeah that's true I guess
[speaker002:] and so uh you know I don't know I mean but it seems like it would you know you can't treat them like they're kids and yet in a lot of senses still a lot of them probably are
[speaker001:] course I've always had a hard time screaming at somebody that was about six five and two fifty anyway so I always thought that was kind of stupid wouldn't yell too loud at them because you never know what might come back at you
[speaker002:] yeah you would've you would've been one of those coaches with the soft styles yeah
[speaker001:] that's right just sweet talk them as much as you can because
[speaker002:] my yeah my dad was actually a football coach so yeah in the junior junior college yeah
[speaker001:] oh was he on a college level or junior college oh so did you play at all yourself or
[speaker002:] I played played high school but I didn't didn't go beyond that
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah I stopped growing I think about when I was twelve years old and everybody else grew up so I quit after Little League because I realized it was
[speaker002:] yeah huh
[speaker001:] I was gonna get pounded on if I kept going so
[speaker002:] uh well I'm I didn't grow too big myself but
[speaker001:] yep but do you follow college much at all either or
[speaker002:] a little bit more so yeah because I I'm here in Austin and we have uh UT Austin it's here and and uh
[speaker001:] do you uh-huh
[speaker002:] you know they they look like they were big you know they're kind of like the Cowboys I mean for years years had a dominating team then they went through this big long slump and and uh last year it looked like they were back and and there was predictions that they were gonna be a
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] you know it'll be real challenge in fact I think they started ranks like you know fifteenth in the polls or something and then you know then it was a long slide down it really was it a fairly disappointing year
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh really yeah well I you know what they're I mean football in Texas that's pretty uh it's uh like a rabid thing down there isn't it
[speaker002:] it yeah it's it's pretty serious uh you know I I end up being so busy that I I don't watch much of it and and I don't follow it much but it's obvious that the people around me do
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah
[speaker002:] you know and and I sometimes feel bad that I haven't you know I'm not up on it more
[speaker001:] yeah in fact that's that was our whole reason for cheering this year because that uh Ty Detmer was from Texas down there and that's that's who I follow quite a bit is BYU but
[speaker002:] right uh-huh
[speaker001:] and so we were kind of prejudiced towards him good or bad or whatever anybody thinks but yeah they seem that he just from what he was saying his dad was a coach his brother was into it I mean that just seemed like a lot of people were involved kind of like Indiana and basketball or something
[speaker002:] yeah yeah right and and supposedly uh uh his brother his younger brother is graduating supposedly his younger brother is supposed to be a lot better than he is yeah
[speaker001:] oh really that'll be interesting see I know uh he's he been recruited pretty heavily he's not sure if he wants to f ollow in his brother's footsteps and go to the Y I wouldn't do it if I were him
[speaker002:] yeah no I don't know Texas yeah
[speaker001:] boy if he doesn't live up to that at least his brother's expectations
