Johnny CongdonHOST
But with that being said, Bob Chesney, that speech you gave to the guys before the Oregon game, That's a leader of men.
Johnny CongdonHOST
I joked earlier with Chris Marler, most people don't know where Holy Cross is on a map, let alone know they have a football team.
Johnny CongdonHOST
He took them to a legit FCS power with very limited resources, if you know anything about Holy Cross football out in Worcester.
Johnny CongdonHOST
And then he's turned...
Johnny CongdonHOST
UCLA into the most successful program in the big 10 this season.
Timothy RosarioHOST
Excellent CAA team.
Timothy RosarioHOST
As you kind of run through this, just some of these other conferences, the Patriot League, Richmond gets killed by Holy Cross.
Timothy RosarioHOST
Lehigh barely beats Bucknell.
Timothy RosarioHOST
This conference, frankly, just doesn't look very good to me.
Ryan BrownHOST
Yeah, it was a bad football team for Barry Sanders.
Ryan BrownHOST
Gordy Lockbaum, do you remember that guy? He was at Boston College? Holy Cross.

Holy Cross, yeah.
Ryan BrownHOST
Yeah.

But he was a Heisman finalist.
AJ HoffmanHOST
Bob Chesney is a great example of this.
AJ HoffmanHOST
Bob Chesney, who has won everywhere he's been, whether it was Holy Cross coaching FCS or James Madison, now undefeated at UCLA in his first season, there's already people calling him.
AJ HoffmanHOST
He's not even a full season in.
AJ HoffmanHOST
They're already calling him.
Ron JacksonHOST
And the best thing about the FCS is it'll work itself out.
Nathan McCrearyHOST
Coach, I'm not going to read through the names of the FCS selection committee, but the committee chair is Kit Hughes from Holy Cross, and Montana State Leon Castillo is the vice chair.
Nathan McCrearyHOST
And then you've got representatives from each of the conferences that have entered.

Colby DantHOST
Like guys, I don't know if you guys have ever, like really paid attention to some of these stadiums in the Ivy.
Colby DantHOST
They're all fantastic.
Colby DantHOST
I think they played at Fenway a couple years ago.
Colby DantHOST
But Le- Harvard destroyed them last year 59 to 24.
Colby DantHOST
Really since Bob Chesney's left Holy Cross, they haven't really had much of an identity.
Colby DantHOST
[smacks lips] Um, I do think they are a little bit better than a season ago if that makes sense, even though their record doesn't state it.
Bruce FeldmanGUEST
So you had two guys who got about 80% of the vote or over 80%.
Bruce FeldmanGUEST
The surprising ones were the bottom of three there, Bob Chesney, I don't think anybody outside of like Holy Cross and JMU would have known who Bob Chesney was six months ago.
Bruce FeldmanGUEST
But there were guys I talked to who are big believers in him.
Bruce FeldmanGUEST
Now, one of them in particular was like, I coached against him multiple times.
Colby DantHOST
Uh, next up, classic Northeastern right here.
Colby DantHOST
Holy Cross, have it.
Colby DantHOST
Like, you guys, I don't know if you guys have ever, like, really paid attention to some of these stadiums in the Ivy.
Colby DantHOST
They're all fantastic.
Colby DantHOST
I should note that.
Colby DantHOST
I think they played at Fenway a couple years ago, but l- Harvard destroyed them last year, 59 to 24.
Colby DantHOST
Really since Bob Chesney's left Holy Cross, they haven't really had much of an identity.
Colby DantHOST
Um, I do think they are a little bit better than a season ago, if that makes sense.
Wes ReynoldsGUEST
He's won at every level.
Wes ReynoldsGUEST
Won a big at Holy Cross at the FCS level.
Wes ReynoldsGUEST
So you've got the right coach there, I think, out at Westwood, but now we're starting to see the Bruins maybe kind of approaching that top- And I don't know if they're quite that good.
Wes ReynoldsGUEST
They're, they're an amazing story, but now there's expectations for this team.
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
Now that was at the FCS level.
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
At the same time, Bob Chesney was at Holy Cross.
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
So, you know, he ran with Sluka then at Holy Cross.
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
Didn't exactly work when he came to the FBS level.
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
But, you know, I've seen it before.
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
Is that an easy assumption without limited tape? Was Sluka that good of a passer, or is he just straight? No, he wasn't.
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
No, that was not his thing.
Dave SchultzGUEST
So I think Sluka was the quarterback at Holy Cross.
