Transcript

00:00Number two, I want to say thank you to Brie, Sager, Brittany,

00:06everybody that is kind of behind the scenes of the Big Mark show.

00:11Without y'all, none of this stuff is even possible.

00:14I want to thank Sports Illustrated for giving me the opportunity this season to

00:18kind of give you an inside look of the Oregon Ducks, you know, in our season,

00:23and what a special season it was.

00:27And just letting me be the flagship bearer to even just break into, you know,

00:32the media side, and just, you know, trusting me with the opportunity,

00:35and letting me, you know, kind of be me, and let me be Big Mark on camera.

00:39So, I appreciate that.

00:42Yeah, let's get into the season.

00:43So, man, as much as everyone wants to kind of talk about the season and just look at

00:48that one loss in Hain, you know, that one loss over our head as recently,

00:53you got to tip your hats off to us, y'all.

00:55Like, 13-1 is not an easy thing to do.

01:00But, I mean, we came in as a team, week in, week out,

01:03with the goal of obviously holding up the big trophy.

01:06And in the process, it was tough.

01:09You know, I remember early on this season, after those first two games,

01:15everyone kind of was writing us off and thinking that this season was going to be,

01:18like, we were barely beating Idaho and Boise.

01:22And, you know, everyone, even, you know, some people within the facility

01:27and the team just was shook, because we were like, look,

01:30we know the work that we put in.

01:32And the product at that time just wasn't showing it.

01:36And I can say for myself, I just knew what this team was capable of.

01:41And so, I kind of just, I doubled down with this team.

01:44And everyone else kind of followed suit.

01:46And everyone kind of just doubled down and grew tighter and tighter.

01:48It was like the louder everyone else became on the outside, we just grew tighter.
