00:00Here's the thing about this year, Joe, as you know, there's a lot more technology involved

00:08in college football this year.

00:09They're letting them, they're letting them talk in the helmet, they're getting the iPads

00:13on the sidelines, they're getting all these things.

00:15No more of those guys standing with all the boards, Joe, over on the sidelines of these

00:20college games, relaying in the signs.

00:22Well, let's just say Chuck's a little old school, and he wasn't exactly ready for all

00:26this new technology to enter college football.

00:29It is tech, we love technology, and everybody's all excited with the iPads.

00:32I was the only coach in the country that voted against them, like, well, I don't want iPads.

00:34I want to, the old days, you actually watched the action, figure out what's going on, you

00:38had to go make adjustments, you don't, like, I didn't get a nine-year-old kid to watch

00:44the play on iPads and say, listen, that guy was running wide open up the seam, we should

00:47cover him, right?

00:48Like, there's, so, all the technology, it's, you know, smart by the technology, people

00:54that sell it, like, but I hate all of it, so.

00:58I used to like when you had a coach, not your **** man, but coach, I got an iPad, I'd watch

01:02every single play right after it happened, like, you used to have to make in-game adjustments,

01:07now there's an iPad that'll make them for you.

01:08Pretty soon there'd be robots on the sidelines, you wouldn't have to hire us, we'd be talking,

01:12you wouldn't even be talking to me, you know, it'd be great, oh, this is great, this technology,

01:15like, we'll have fake officials, fake players, fake, they'll just be, like, playing NCAA

01:1925, you know, ****, play me.

01:21You're over there, Chuck, getting involved with all the technology, they're at Northwestern

01:28on Saturday, Joe, by the way, to open up their season, only getting three, by the way, at

01:35Northwestern, where they built that little stadium on the sea, with about 50 people that

01:41it's going to hold while they rebuild the regular football field, Chuck doesn't like

01:46technology, Joe, who does?

01:48No, no, but I did hear his beeper going off during that interview there, during that press

01:54conference, so, yeah, that's exactly what that was, that's as far as the technology

01:59goes he likes, so, yes, a little bit old school, Chuck.
