00:00So a little bit like fate that you guys get to rematch each other at the Rose Bowl
00:04in the playoff.
00:04We knew it was coming the whole time.
00:05We knew exactly who we was gonna match up against.
00:08As soon as they said Tennessee, Ohio State, we prepared for Ohio State.
00:11So we knew exactly.
00:12We prepared for both, but we knew it was gonna be Ohio State.
00:15I think I watched the first quarter of the game, turned it off.
00:17I knew exactly what was gonna happen.
00:20You talked a little bit about the chrome helmets of Rose Bowl's past.
00:25How cool was it to see, and I know you were a part of the decision making for
00:29these uniforms today, or for Wednesday.
00:32How cool is it to see some of those past histories and
00:35traditions come alive in your uniforms that you get to wear?
00:39It's amazing.
00:40It's an honor.
00:42I don't take it for granted.
00:43I never thought I was gonna be picking a jersey for
00:46the Rose Bowl like this ever.
00:49But like I said, I don't take it for granted.
00:51It's something I dream of, wearing the jerseys, but having to pick the jersey.
00:56It's unbelievable.
00:57I can't ask for anything more.
00:58Oregon is truly, they've done everything.
01:05I can't really explain the love they show me, the fan base they show me.
01:14I can't ask for anything more.
01:16I'm gonna miss it, and
01:18it's gonna be something I'll never, ever experience again.
01:23From the uniforms, the cleats, the everything.
01:25I don't think no NFL team got more stuff than us.
01:28And honestly, I've never been so confused with picking a jersey ever in my life.
01:35And normally, it should be easy, but we feel like, no disrespect to women, but
01:39we feel like women going in the closet to pick clothes out and
01:42trying to get ready for a game.
01:44Cuz you got so many combinations, like warp speed, throwback, eggshells,
01:49nightmare, goodness, you don't know where to choose from.
01:53And then you come out, all right, that's what it is, but
01:56we're gonna hit them with the Kobe cleats.
01:57So stuff like that.
01:59So are you happy with the way it came together?
02:01Yeah, I wish they would have picked T-Ferg for the drip combination.
02:04They had Kobe Sanders tucking his shirt in, so it was like.
02:07We gotta get his drip off a little bit.
