The Oregon Ducks' performance against the Florida State Seminoles is reviewed, focusing on the high quality of the television production and the team's unique uniform strategy. Phil Knight, the founder of Nike and an Oregon alumnus, reportedly funds a different uniform for every game. The discussion highlights the massive scale of college football marching bands and the entertainment value of the lopsided score.

00:00 They should have started booing and throwing paper balls at him. Still shaking my head at those fighting ducks live from FEMA region six in the capital of the drone star state Austin Tejas. In morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where we actually don't call them the fighting ducks. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's crackpotting buzzkill in the mornin'. Alright everybody has to know that it only happens a couple times a year and John will say you know this is an important football game then then I'll watch
00:45 Did you enjoy it? You know what I did, I did. Enjoy it. You know how is love a lopsided slaughter? I have no, uh...I think that's the American way. I have no dog in that hunt but was fascinating yeah of course I like football understand how the game works and if it's an important game and I could get behind somebody en route for him You know, I saw the thing on the back of... you know, the Oregon Ducks we're talking about for people out there. Yeah against these Seminoles huh? Yes yeah The Oregon Ducks never wear the same uniform Oh! I didn't notice that green is not their thing
01:28 Well, that's their color but they'll have a completely different uniform next time because Phil whatever his name is who runs Nike Yeah, I feel night Phil Knight is a huge he's an Oregon alumni and he buys the uniforms for the team And every game is a different uniform because they're hurting so bad already in college football. There's just no money in it Yeah, seven and a half billion dollars a year or whatever so so every so you look at the uniform some of them have been extremely weird I got us. I gotta give you some from feedback on the game okay alright first of all
02:05 I really love all the... this is, I look at it from a television production standpoint. Then you know you have cameras flying on wires over everything. You've got there must be at least 10 instant replay teams setting stuff up and saying hey with their own director and producer it's so obvious how much has put into this. Oh yeah! And then you have the uniforms I mean this is... these uniforms, it's like gladiators man. These guys look good! Slick It's just it's everything is put together so well right down to the what is it? The Hershey's fan corner or whatever bullcrap sponsor. Oh that thing So to make sure you don't have some loser, you know if you have actors You know they've hired extras and they put them in this box And and then they do think they know what to do and there's a producer standing next to the camera telling him when to scream and yell and it's great isn't very entertaining to watch at halftime
03:01 They must each of these bands they had must have had a hundred people in them. Yeah, they're huge I'm a sucker for a good band performance. I really am the marching band and marching band yeah And then it was just the score just got out of hand so in the second half my whatever It was very comic The way that he'd got out of hands yeah well But anyway, so that was important you said. That's good I watched it Yeah, I think that was probably the game of the year. I watched it So and then notice on the back of this one of these you know there's one one off Jersey that they put fighting ducks right? That's how I came up with it yeah I know as well. I figured because I saw that too when I said fighting ducks who did that happen It just the ducks yeah, but somebody put it on there. I think it has to do with the
03:52 University of Delaware has some crazy name, it's the fightin' or the angry or something like that. Anyway... Doesn't matter. Alright So anyway thank you for that suggestion I watched and there ya go. Gonna have a cough Yes Okay so today we are flying without a net We have no spreadsheet. Oh wait it just came in hey The spreadsheets not what we that's not based the show is not based on the spreadsheet Yeah, it is It's like if it's like a cornerstone Without the spreadsheet I don't know when to go to a break you see and you know we can hit the weather and track on the equate that was flying without a net
