WEBVTT 1 00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:28.120 Good evening everybody, and welcome to another edition of Fire Up. 2 00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:30.760 Are we fired up for the football season or what? Guys? 3 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.320 Yes, absolutely, hallelujah. 4 00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:36.600 No more third, second and third stringers. 5 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:38.399 I'm sick. 6 00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.039 I'm sick of watching rookie starters go up against second 7 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:46.880 and third stringers for seven drives, throws, zero touchdowns, rush 8 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:52.920 one in and he's the best things in touchdown. Jesus, here, 9 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:53.679 you here, you. 10 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.399 We're gonna say welcome hello to all the people so 11 00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:58.600 far in the check because we're gonna quick go on there. 12 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.960 Let's go nights charge on. Josh and the guys are 13 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.120 covering the game, so I don't know exactly which game 14 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.079 you're talking about, but they'll be in and out no problem. 15 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.840 We appreciate all the comments. The Bounce House definitely gets 16 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.280 the boom. Let's get it rolling. Go nights. Well, there's 17 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:18.920 a couple of different nights, so I don't know which 18 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.599 nights you're necessarily talking about. Could be UCF, but I'm 19 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.359 not sure. I hope Travis is watching the game. I'm 20 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:31.799 guessing that means I'm surprised SFT didn't make a trip 21 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.719 to the Bounce House to cover the game. The bounce 22 00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:39.480 House is bouncing my friends there covering the Um game 23 00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:44.879 this weekend, and then they could have covered UCF tonight 24 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.519 then gone to the swamp after to cover the uf 25 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:55.719 UM game. Fire up the party. So I can tell 26 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.480 you guys, and I don't know if you guys heard 27 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.000 or not, but that Scott and I are going up 28 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.719 to a place I have yet to be in the 29 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.840 state of Florida. We are going to Gainesville to the swamp. 30 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.520 We are covering the Hurricanes versus the Gators game on Saturday. 31 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.280 I will be on the field taking pictures since Scott 32 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:20.520 will be writing a story. So I am super excited 33 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.400 because it's the last really big venue in the state 34 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:24.759 of Florida that I haven't been to. 35 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:30.039 Nice. That's great. 36 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:35.400 I am excited. So let's introduce really my panel, because 37 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.039 I didn't do that even though I went through all 38 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.560 those people in the chatroom. So next to me is 39 00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:46.439 mister Ralph Williams. Hello, Ralph, how are you your right? 40 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:47.840 Good? 41 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:53.199 Everything's great, And you know here in Pittsburgh, I had 42 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.719 a hot day, some rain, and here. 43 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.800 We are so ready for some football where they get 44 00:02:58.840 --> 00:02:59.599 fired up.

Had a radio personality 59 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:52.599 who thinks that the station should be shut down, insulted 60 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.759 me a little bit and everything else, and I'm going 61 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.360 to see to it that he has an egg on 62 00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.439 his face because I think we can be able to 63 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.080 pool this off at the last minute, get to save 64 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.599 the TV station from shutting down.

I guess I really didn't count 72 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.920 it as one of the big stadiums. But maybe I'm wrong, 73 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:45.319 so I'll have to put it on the list to 74 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:52.920 go yet. But they're saying good luck and hell yeah, okay, 75 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:59.480 what's going on?

They charged me double. 89 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.279 You went to the wrong brands. You must have went 90 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:46.439 to the one on Kettering. 91 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:52.199 Well. 92 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:54.399 I thought one of the things I was going to 93 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:56.879 do differently in the show is I'm going to introduce 94 00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.439 a new segment, and the new segment is called did 95 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.920 you know? And depending on the week, it could be 96 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:12.240 off the wall, little uh tidbit or nugget. And I 97 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:17.319 thought tonight, since really for most of the college football 98 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.959 the season starts tonight. I mean that kind. I know, 99 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.000 there was a couple of games last weekend and stuff 100 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:28.120 like that, but for most all of the teams, Oh, Candy, 101 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:32.120 just an fyi, Josh, and the guys only care about 102 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:36.680 two things, the Florida Panthers and the UCF nights. 103 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:46.439 No, no, you don't say that is funny. 104 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.519 That is funny. So we're going to talk about some stadiums, 105 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:53.600 some college stadiums and some of their traditions. I was 106 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:58.120 doing some research and one of the stadiums, and I 107 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.040 don't know why I'm even bringing up the Ohio State 108 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.240 because that's not one of my favorites, but one of 109 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:09.600 their traditions is the marching band that eloquently form into 110 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:13.759 a beautiful script spelling Ohio and the dotting of the 111 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:19.120 eye is the big tradition. This tradition, which takes many 112 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:22.879 hours of practice, began, You guys have any clue what 113 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:23.959 year that began. 114 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:29.560 I'd say nineteen forty. 115 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.759 Very close, Okay, I was gonna say nineteen thirty. 116 00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:37.639 Eight, nineteen thirty six. 117 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:43.000 Wow, jeez, Jeremy and I were both close, guys. I were. 118 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:48.879 Another one of the college traditions. Actually, if you were 119 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.920 if you were watching ESPN, you would have seen it tonight, 120 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:57.920 the Buffalo Run with Ralphie at the University of Colorado, Boulder. 121 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.800 So they are playing tonight and that tradition goes back 122 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:08.040 to nineteen sixty seven. Then they're you, guys, know what 123 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:09.480 they do at Clemson. 124 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:11.000 Howard? 125 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:11.959 Now I don't. 126 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:17.439 They have a rock. Some people believe it in the 127 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:22.199 metaphysical properties of crystal, but the players at Clemson University 128 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.120 attribute their wins to the magical properties of Howard's Rock, 129 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.480 a decorative office stone from Death Valley turned pregame ritual 130 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:36.200 that sits atop the east Zone hill beginning in nineteen 131 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.360 sixty six, with the players running past the rock onto 132 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.840 the field where they would later beat Virginia. Howard's Rock 133 00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:46.679 has since been touched before every game to increase the 134 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:52.759 chances of the home win. There's all kinds of different ones. 135 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.039 Like I'll say, if for any of you that are 136 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:59.000 Wisconsin fans, and there probably aren't many Wisconsin fans watching 137 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:03.440 right now, but they do jump around in Wisconsin, which 138 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:08.240 is jump around. And I'll tell you Scott witnessed this 139 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:11.480 for the first time when we covered a Wisconsin versus 140 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.759 Penn State game and he was up in the press 141 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.960 box and all of a sudden, he's like, it was shaking, 142 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:20.919 and he's like, what's going on. Is there an earthquake? 143 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.799 Is there an earthquake? What's going on? And no, they 144 00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.679 were playing this and the fans were jumping around. It 145 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:36.080 shook the stadium. So that is pretty cool. Let's see, Ralph, 146 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:39.600 you were telling us what they do at pit games. 147 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:45.919 Right, yeah, pick games at Akroshuer Stadium, they play the 148 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:51.480 third after the third quarter, they play Sweet Caroline by 149 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:54.320 Neil Diamond. What they've done is is they've taken Neil 150 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.320 Sweet Caroline and instead of it just going do do 151 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.559 do sway kick, let's go pit and how great times 152 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.399 we have and all that, which is not true, but 153 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.480 I mean, you know that's but that's what they've done. 154 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.399 They modified it to where it says let's go pit 155 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.039 and everybody else let's go pit. 156 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.200 And yes, Orlando, that is one of the best ones. 157 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:21.519 Or land Or, Iowa. They waved to the children's hospital. 158 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:25.159 Is one of the best traditions period. I agree, I agree. 159 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:27.440 And that just started, like I think it was twenty 160 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.240 thirty years ago that that wasn't That's one of the 161 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:35.519 youngest traditions in college football, but the oldest one. It 162 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.600 isn't singing mister Bright's side. That's not the tradition. That's 163 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:42.279 just something they started doing since the song came out 164 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:46.320 in the two thousands. The tradition is the banner that 165 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:51.240 they touch on their way out of the tunnel. That 166 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:54.639 has been being done since nineteen fifty six. 167 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:56.320 Wow. 168 00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:02.360 So I do have another question for you guys. Okay, 169 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:08.759 can you guys name me the oldest rivalry in college 170 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.360 football and what year it began? 171 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:18.279 Well, all right, I'll go with you. Good Jeremy, you go. 172 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.240 First, Ahead, you go, you go, because I want to 173 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:21.000 see if you're going on. 174 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.240 I'm going to say Michigan Ohio State. And it's been 175 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.360 on the tradition since probably the eighteen hundreds, but I 176 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:28.200 can't give you a year. 177 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:28.759 I don't know. 178 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:32.440 That's where I was going. But I think it actually 179 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:35.120 started in like early nineteen hundreds. It was like nineteen 180 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:36.399 oh six, nineteen oh eight. 181 00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:41.480 So the oldest rivalry in college football dates back to 182 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:47.200 eighteen seventy three, and it's Yale versus Princeton. 183 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:51.919 Oh, who would have ever thought of that one? I 184 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:55.759 like this, I like this one. Here Army Navy, as 185 00:11:55.840 --> 00:12:00.919 Joseph said, Army Navy here, and then I'm sure God 186 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.919 said the same. That's a big rivalry too. 187 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:13.600 The twenty seventeen national champions. 188 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.200 Harvard versus Yell.

He's a 298 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:30.519 defensive lineman. He plays for them. Now. He was with 299 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:31.759 pitt and he's from. 300 00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:36.119 The local, uh, from the Pittsburgh Public schools.

Sometimes Scott ignores us. It depends on what 305 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:50.880 you what the topic is and if you guys are 306 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:54.440 commenting that on the topic, or if we're letting you 307 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.720 guys just roll and talk, because it just depends. So 308 00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:59.599 sometimes Scott is very scripted. 309 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:02.519 Can I read it how he meant to say it 310 00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:05.759 instead of how it's spelt. For Orlando's last comment here. 311 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:14.000 Sure his daughter is going to be an Olympic shot 312 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:18.559 putter soon. I don't think we can say that other 313 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:20.880 word on the air because this is Scott Stanley. He 314 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:24.720 don't like those words. 315 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:25.960 True, too true, and thank you. Will I will tell 316 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:32.200 Scott you say hi. He's battling with some issues with 317 00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:34.920 his throat and stuff like that. So that's why he 318 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:38.160 is no longer technically going to be on Thursday nights. 319 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:39.640 We're going to try and keep him off, so he 320 00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.079 only does shows three nights a week, which is still plenty. 321 00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:48.880 But I appreciate you saying hi to him, just trying 322 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:51.880 to support good content.

You know, he could be the worst 328 00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:18.640 quarterback in the league, and whoever comes in, he just says, oh, 329 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.200 you're the starter. It was a good quarterback. What they 330 00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:24.880 call what they said was a quarterback battle. 331 00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:27.559 Mike Tomlin has a bad habit of Towne did that 332 00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:30.400 with Trubisky and Pickett, and then he ended up naming 333 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:34.559 Trubisky the starter anyway, you know, uh, he makes it 334 00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:36.480 look for something to media. 335 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:39.240 To write to or say or whatever, you know, keep 336 00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:40.079 them on their toes. 337 00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:42.599 And Brandon Ayuk is not coming to the Steelers because 338 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:44.240 he signed today with San Francisco. 339 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.720 So mm hmm.
