Gardner with Jim Rome Link
- Thread starter CrimsonDisciple
- Start date
Wow. Getting on Rome is no joke. Good for him. Has Jesus Herbert been on Rome?
Great interview. Hilarious segment about the moustache. Gawdner has been learning a lot from CML. "Burt Reynolds is the gold standard" vis a vis the mustache.
And Minshew just deadpans it like CML. His basketball pickup games at the hometown church were tougher than football. Rome was impressed.
Very cool, CrimsonDisciple.
It's amazing to me that his whole life he grew up watching the Heisman presentation and dreamed about it. Wow.

I had to listen to this again. Minshew:
" The mustache is the single greatest factor in our success." Total deadpan. Hilarious.
Rome set him up with good questions that staff had researched in advance and Minshew “crushed it”, as Rome said when the segment ended. Our QB is a terrific representative of the university. Couldn’t be prouder.
Best Jim Rome interview is the one he got knocked on his ass
I was watching that live from the good ole blue house on A street. I was seriously hoping he woukd have put Rome would put him in the camel clutch or something.
Edit: meant to say wish Everett put him in the camel clutch.

Loved the deadpan. There is more than an ounce of humility there; necessary for a QB to succeed. Thanks, CD!
Are you talking about the house at the corner of Colorado and A? Across from Tri Delts? If so, I lived in that house as well... in the eighties. Pre Everett ass whooping of Rome.
Edit: It was yellow when I lived there.
Rome is a long time Leach fan. Cool that Gard represented like a a stud. You could tell Rome was impressed. Great interview.
I had the pleasure of watching that live as well. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was an instant classic and I'm not sure Rome would have blown up without that day
These houses ring no bell. But then I was not a frat boy. I do remember the Mars Hotel (and have the Grateful Dead album), the Moose lodge and the, the other one closer to downtown. Thought it was a color name too...….
The house I lived in was actually around the corner from Tri Delts...so if you are walking down Colorado and take a right, it was a few houses up on the right.
Good times in the mid 90's..but I think you had us beat in the eighties
Phi Taus Blue Anex? I’ve had a lot of great memories from there!The house I lived in was actually around the corner from Tri Delts...so if you are walking down Colorado and take a right, it was a few houses up on the right.

It could have been. When I was there, it was a Pike live out...then people in my frat moved in.
We had fly tape hanging from the ceiling and the whole nine. Interior decorating at its finest.
Loyal, appropos of nothing what so ever, since you mentioned the Dead....I only learned this week that Jerry Garcia was the steel guitar in Treat Your Children Well by Crosby, Stills, etc. I was never a Dead Head and didn't realize that bit of trivia. I'm sure every Dead fan knows that, but I didn't. The song preceeded my active musical interest in that style by a couple of years and at that time in my life a steel guitar meant Buck Owens or one of the Bakersfield sound groups. I had to YouTube the song and enjoy it again. Garcia was pretty amazing with that instrument.
