It's an honor on the day before Thanksgiving to be joined by a legend and a champion in this town, Rick Doc Walker.

At Rick Doc Walker on X on Twitter.

He will be on here in this spot on both stations on Friday the day day after Thanksgiving, from 10 to 2, both on

this station, the team 980, and on 1067 the fans. So tune in, all you canines will be calling

in on the day after Thanksgiving. You know, I was thinking about just what this weekend is, what tomorrow is, what this weekend is when it comes to football and rivalries at the high school and college level in particular.

And you played in college in a high, high profile rivalry.

I mean, people of today don't know how big it was when USC and UCLA played, you know, in the Coliseum

right around Thanksgiving.

Sometimes it was a few days before Thanksgiving.

Sometimes it was that Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving.

What do you remember about those days suiting up for the Bruins in that cross-town

massive rivalry against USC this time of year?

That you didn't want to go a lifetime without winning it.

Being in it is just part of being born. Winning it, that's the accomplishment.

And so then when you win it one year, you're doing you, you want to close out and we split,

but you want to sweep. But you know, it's very hard to get. They had the Heisman throw

with Ricky Bell with a Heisman trophy. They had the Outland winning trophy. They had the Heisman trophy. Ricky Bill were the Heardtrophy.

Yeah.

They had the Outer winning trophy.

They had the Heid and everybody over there.

So it's one of those battles, and that's why I appreciate Oklahoma, Texas.

Of course, the big one Saturday, Buckeyes and Wolverines.
