Speaker 2: of because that's who people want to listen to. Is

40
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: how I should have phrased that, and that's really how

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: I meant to phrase it. It did not come out

42
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 2: very well. My apology, right, So you're down to tode

43
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: every Yeah, they don't.

44
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 5: Even have to worry about offending me.

45
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: I promise pre snap penalty thereun Yeah, exactly, it's all

46
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 2: about the response. So we'll have to come up with

47
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: some good questions. See how the show's going to go, guys,

48
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: exactly exactly, Well, a lot to talk about, certainly, we

49
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: got Northwestern and Minnesota this weekend. After watching the film

50
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: from Friday night, what do you take from that as

51
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: you now get ready for the week ahead.

52
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 4: A lot of things. One, there's there's really good on

53
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 4: the film. I mean, when you look at it, there's

54
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: a lot of execution that we had on the offensive

55
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 4: side and defensive side at certain times. But I don't

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: want to sit there and take away how good Oregon is.

57
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 4: I mean they've they've done that to a lot of people.

58
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 4: I mean, they're really really good. Their athletes are just plentiful.

59
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 4: They didn't even have their top two wideouts. I don't

60
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 4: think people really understand that they didn't have their top

61
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 4: two white outs. And you look at eighteen, you look

62
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 4: at the tight end, you look at their other wide outs.

63
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 4: The quarterback played flawless and it wasn't that he was

64
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: just perfect. It was the guy's made incredible place. And

65
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 4: when you go back through that film, some of it.

66
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 4: It's like, okay, we can tested these and some of

67
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 4: them we didn't contest, and some that weren't contested. The

68
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 4: ball was placed only where their guy could get it,

69
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 4: and they made an incredible play and you got to

70
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 4: tip your cap to that, because that's very difficult to do.

71
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 4: But I thought their quarterback had an outstanding game. I

72
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: thought our team played incredibly hard. But we've got to

73
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 4: play better as we keep moving forward. I think when

74
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 4: you play a team like Oregon and Ohio State, it

75
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 4: says exactly where you are, and when they play really well,

76
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 4: it tells you exactly where you are comparatively speaking to

77
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: the best in the country period in every resource, in

78
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: players and coaching and facilities and resources. The new market

79
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 4: of nil that's the best, Okay, So it gives you

80
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: an honest opinion. And we're down twenty eight thirteen in

81
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: the third quarter, and a few things go our way

82
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: there that we would love, some things that maybe shouldn't

83
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: have gone our way, or it should have gone away

84
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: didn't go our way, and we're right in that football game,

85
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: and again we're closer than we think, but you're still

86
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 4: far apart. And I think that's where you've got to

87
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 4: continue as I talked to you know in the media

88
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 4: about just closing the gap, and it takes everybody though.

89
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 5: It's not just me, it's not just the players.

90
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 4: You look at people the way they're investing in over

91
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 4: the entire country, and there's no surprise when you look

92
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 4: at that twelve tonight the rankings come out and there's

93
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 4: no surprise, and they have.

94
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 5: A lot of things in common.

95
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you mentioned you mentioned a lot there that

96
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: I want to get into.

97
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,559
Speaker 5: I'm curious that was a smorgas sport.

98
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but but you talk about that is the standards.

99
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: So do you leave that going, Wow, that's the standard.

100
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 2: You mentioned we're closer than we think, but we're still

101
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: far away. So how do you rationalize those two thoughts together?

102
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: I guess yeah, I.

103
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 5: Don't excuse me.

104
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's it's it's the standard, because

105
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 4: I don't know, like how close we get to the

106
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 4: unlimited part, right, because it's it's fair, right because when

107
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 4: you look at Dan Lanning, every nobody talks about the

108
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 4: researchers they have, including him, and he's a good friend

109
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 4: of mine and I have a ton of respect for him,

110
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 4: but he doesn't get enough credit for how well of

111
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 4: a coachy, how good of a coach he is, and

112
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 4: how he connects that team, and they coach really well.

113
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 4: They got really good continuity and great coaches and they

114
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: kind of put it all together. So I don't know

115
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 4: if it's necessarily just the standard, but that's like the

116
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 4: top of the mountain when you look at it. And however,

117
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 4: we can work our way up the mountain and continually

118
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: work our way up the mountain, you're in, year out,

119
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 4: is what we're going to keep having to do.

120
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 5: It's when you stop.

121
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: On the mountain is when the avalanche happens. And you

122
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 4: see that all over the country and everybody just rolls

123
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 4: down the hill.

124
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 5: And I'd like to remind people.

125
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: I know what people's expectations are, but we're still bull

126
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: eligible after nine games. And that's a huge accomplishment, not

127
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 4: just saying that's what we're climbing the mountain to be,

128
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 4: but it's part of the mountain climb, but that we

129
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 4: played against a peak and again they're really good. But

130
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 4: our fight, our execus you shit at times.

131
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 5: You know.

132
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 4: Again, there was times that were better than us and

133
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: across the board, and then there were times that we

134
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 4: we'd fight scratch claw, you know, work our way down

135
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 4: the field, do a lot of great things. So I'm

136
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 4: an optimist and I'm a person that stays here for

137
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 4: a reason of elevating the program. That doesn't mean like

138
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 4: a mountain, there's peaks and valleys as you go up,

139
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 4: there's dips, there's climbs, there's there.

140
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 5: There's all types of stuff.

141
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 4: So it's they're really good and you got to give

142
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 4: them credit because they've they've done the best I think

143
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 4: in this Nio World Portal, as well as the Ohio

144
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 4: States of the world. And you look at those teams

145
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 4: at Texas A and M's and the Indiana's, I mean

146
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 4: Indiana is doing a ton. So yes, I do think

147
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 4: it is a standard to get yourself in talks to

148
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 4: compete within the college football playoffs.

149
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 2: Absolutely, the third quarter drive to start. I know you

150
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: are a guy who talks a lot about response and

151
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: guardian and we just did a podcast we're talking about

152
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: that you score there. Now you're within a couple if

153
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 2: you just get a stop all this sud I mean

154
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: no guarantee that you know how that thing's going to go.

155
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 2: But all of a sudden, the other sidelines is getting

156
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: a little net. Okay, we're in a ball game now,

157
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: but that was a nice drive. I thought that was

158
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: one of the better drives of the season, coming out

159
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: of halftime in a game that you know, the first

160
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: half probably didn't go the way everybody wanted it to go,

161
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: and to respond that way and you know, drive it

162
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,119
Speaker 2: down the field.

163
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 4: Well, that's what I love about our team is all

164
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 4: year they've responded.

165
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 5: Some things have gone great.

166
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 4: Some things they've had a fight scratch claw and it

167
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 4: did go our way, and then there's sometimes we're fight

168
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: stretch claw, it didn't go our way, and then sometimes

169
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: it didn't go our way really quickly and it was

170
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 4: like a title wave. They've always responded. This is not

171
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 4: a perfect world and an ideal world where every team

172
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: in the country is going to be twelve to zero

173
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: and have no issues. That is not football. That is

174
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 4: a that is a fairytale land world. That's an ideal

175
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 4: perfect world. We don't live in that. Our team lives

176
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 4: in a real world that is built on response. You

177
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 4: have to win really close games. And you know what,

178
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 4: Oregon played really well. Ohio State played really well when

179
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 4: we played them. I will play really well when we

180
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 4: played them. We didn't play our best and and that's

181
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: a credit to them and also things we've got to

182
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: get better at. But it's I love the response. I

183
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 4: love the opening drive of the third quarter or the

184
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 4: second half in the third quarter. I thought that said

185
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 4: a lot about our football team's character. And you know,

186
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: like you said, you get one call here, you know,

187
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: one review flipped here, and it's a different game.

188
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 5: But part of the reason we couldn't.

189
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 4: Stop them is they're really good and they've done that

190
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 4: to a lot of people all season. And what did

191
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 4: you see like seeing them in person? We talked a

192
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 4: lot about their physicality last week, and because I think

193
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 4: we both said it's not like the Chip Kelly offense

194
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 4: where they just try to, you know, go up and

195
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 4: down as quick as they possibly can. Then I forgot,

196
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 4: Well they're really fast too.

197
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: Like me being on the field, the speed just seemed

198
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: like it was at a level maybe we haven't seen

199
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: this season from an opponent.

200
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the fastest team, maybe the most athletic

201
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 4: team we played all year. That's no disrespect to Ohio

202
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 4: State because I think when you look at the complete team,

203
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 4: I mean or you know, Ohio State are in a

204
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 4: completely different league and upper echelon of across the board,

205
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 4: that type of talent and skill.

206
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 5: But you know that they're really good.

207
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 4: When Heather and I always kind of sit on the bench,

208
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 4: you know, two hours for a game time, we just

209
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 4: kind of look at the team and even Heather goes, wow,

210
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 4: who's that and then said wow, well who's that guy?

211
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 4: Then like well, that's the tight end, and that's the

212
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 4: second tight end, and that's the third tight end.

213
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 5: Well, man, the receiver.

214
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, well the best two receivers are out, honey, and

215
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: those three guys are all their backups.

216
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 5: And so when Heather's like, wow, well.

217
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: Good luck, honey.

218
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the most she got up says hey,

219
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 4: I'm going up to.

220
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 2: The boxy go get them. Yeah, man, that and that.

221
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny because they lost ten guys in

222
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: the NFL last year, and there was some in the

223
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 2: off season like well how are they going to answer?

224
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: And then I'm filling out my boards on Thursday and

225
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, transfer from Georgia, I transfer from USC,

226
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 2: transfer from Louisville. And then it's oh, true freshman who

227
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: leads them and catches. It's that's how they rebuild.

228
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, it's reloading.

229
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 4: Yeah they have Again, they have the resources to replenish

230
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 4: and reload, and they're very good at developing that talent.

231
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 4: Some people have the ability to replenish and reload, but

232
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 4: don't coach as well. And that's why I think they're

233
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 4: so dangerous. That environment was incredible, their support is incredible,

234
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: and the resources are incredible, and the coach is incredible,

235
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 4: and that's it. I have no problem giving people compliments.

236
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 4: I think some coaches have a really hard time. Oh

237
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 4: I can't show any way. I can't show they can't

238
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 4: give them a compliment, and I can't give them anything.

239
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 5: It is what it is.

240
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 4: They're really good, and we're gonna have to play really good.

241
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 4: Like we played really good last year against Penn Sate

242
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 4: and we were right in that thing, right, we played

243
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: really good against top twenty five teams and beat them.

244
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 4: I mean got seven top twenty five wins here in

245
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 4: the last eight years. So when you look at them,

246
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 4: I mean, we went into that game thing, We're gonna

247
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 4: win the football game.

248
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 5: That's what I love about our teams.

249
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I know a score didn't necessarily match that,

250
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 4: but not one tired at our players think we weren't going

251
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 4: to win that football game. I love that about our

252
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 4: team and we're never going to change that. That's part

253
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 4: of climbing that mountain, the mental and emotional piece and

254
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 4: that mental fortitude.

255
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: What kind of like buyings do they put you in

256
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 2: in like the first few drives right, you stopped the

257
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: run a couple of times early. Then they have the

258
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 2: big play right right out of the gate. Like, what's

259
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 2: the conflict as they're putting you in different spots?

260
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 5: Well, a few things.

261
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 4: One again, they do a really good job of spreading out,

262
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 4: but they're really physical. They create a ton of space.

263
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 4: The quarterbacks incredibly accurated, five star kid. I mean, this

264
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 4: kid is brilliant and he played exceptional. The catch ratses

265
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 4: are really big. We also our attention to detail wasn't

266
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 4: as good. You know, we're supposed to be an exact

267
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 4: alignment in this particular eleven by one and we're nine

268
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 4: by zero. Well, that's the difference between getting the ball

269
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 4: off the hash and not getting and not making being

270
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 4: able to make the play there. That first explosive place

271
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 4: should never have happened, right, because it's the attention to details,

272
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 4: not like we busted the coverage but we didn't have

273
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 4: the razor sharp edge and the technique fundamental and alignment

274
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 4: that we should have had, and that's what got us

275
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 4: beat a little bit in that game, and those explosive

276
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 4: plays happened that way, and then they had the big

277
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 4: long run, which is unacceptable. But if you look at it,

278
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 4: it's not like we're getting crushed. Everybody's trying to go

279
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 4: after the ball. And I said this and my pressor

280
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 4: that I feel like our guys are pressing a little

281
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 4: bit to get takeaways instead of just let the takeaways

282
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 4: happen naturally. Because you're playing violently, you're playing with technique,

283
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 4: playing with discipline, you're playing with the fundamentals all within

284
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 4: the scheme.

285
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 5: When you start going outside that scheme.

286
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 4: Whether that's going after the ball or whether that's being

287
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 4: you know, nine by zero instead of eleven by one

288
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 4: and being exactly where you're supposed to be, everybody tries

289
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 4: to go make a play, and with a younger team

290
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 4: and maybe a little bit of inexperienced team at certain

291
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 4: positions that you don't get away with that. When you

292
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 4: play a top you know five team in the country,

293
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 4: you don't you don't get away with it.

294
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 5: And they expose that on us.

295
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was you said. You mentioned that yesterday.

296
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: I had that written down as part of in terms

297
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: of tackling, right, you want to tackle a guy, but

298
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: you've also i mean not just you in general, but

299
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: in the country it's become popular. We want to punch

300
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: the ball out. We want to do that, sometimes at

301
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: the expense of then ultimately making a tackle. But yet

302
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: there's times where you punch it out. So how do

303
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: you Well, it's a juxtapost those things.

304
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 5: There's a few things.

305
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 4: One, you know, when you're talking about the ball, you

306
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 4: secure the tackle first, then you punch it out the

307
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 4: way you've got a hold of them and he's going

308
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 4: to go.

309
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 5: On the ground.

310
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 4: Sometimes we're not securing that tackle to punch it out.

311
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 4: We're just punching it out. Then we get into a

312
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: rugby scrub and guys are all trying to punch it

313
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 4: out instead of get the guy on the ground first.

314
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 4: We talked about hitting this guy really low. The running

315
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 4: back's really good, and we didn't do that. We hit

316
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 4: him high and he dragged us. And that's what he's

317
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 4: done to everybody in the country. So we abandon that

318
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 4: technique to go try to make a play. And that's

319
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 4: that's the fundamental discipline and the attention to detail, and

320
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 4: you've got to trust the schematic piece. You've got to

321
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: have great attention to detail and fundamentals within the scheme.

322
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 4: You can't have greater fundamentals and technique and then abandon

323
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: the scheme. And you can't have poor technique within a

324
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 4: great scheme and discipline scheme.

325
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 5: You've got to put it all together.

326
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: And I think the maturity our football team has to

327
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 4: continue to grow as we keep going. And that means

328
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 4: the half two piece of all those things we have

329
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 4: to do. We got to want to do it and

330
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 4: execute it. And you know, we're so close in a

331
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 4: lot of different areas.

332
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 6: Uh.

333
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 4: And again, we're not a two and eight football team, guys.

334
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 4: I mean we're for a football team and you know

335
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 4: have a postseason that you know play for.

336
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 5: And and we also.

337
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 4: Got two great games to end the season, so they're

338
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 4: getting better every single week. Had a tremendous practice that

339
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 4: was really physical today and I just love coaching the

340
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 4: team because of their response.

341
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 5: Where you have a long.

342
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 4: Flight back, we get beat pretty bad in the terms

343
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 4: of the score, and those guys couldn't wait to get

344
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 4: back here. And on Sunday we had an awesome practice

345
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 4: to Tuesday.

346
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 5: Awesome. I mean, I'm not saying that coach speak.

347
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 4: I would, I would, you know if I was like, yeah,

348
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 4: we were okay and came in, you know we weren't.

349
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 5: They were awesome.

350
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: One follow up on that too, just in regard to

351
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: if it's a mistake, you know, trying to punch as

352
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: opposed to tackle, and you don't want to live with

353
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: any mistakes, but it's a mistake of effort trying to win,

354
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: like you're that that they they're their ideas. If I

355
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: punch this ball out, we have a better chance to win.

356
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: So how those mistakes are not okay, but better than

357
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: just mistraightside of laziness or dumbness or you know, dumb

358
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: player what happened?

359
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 4: The great thing is you go back as a head

360
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 4: coach and you want to find it. You want to

361
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 4: find oh if this guy was lazy on this, gave

362
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 4: up on this.

363
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 2: Oh we didn't.

364
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 5: We didn't have any effort. No no, no, yeah, I

365
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 5: didn't find any of that. And I'm the I'm the

366
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 5: king of that.

367
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 4: I'll find it anywhere, right, I mean, I plus three

368
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 4: to the mailbox, you know what I mean.

369
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: So we're we.

370
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 4: Just can't let the circumstance dictate our behavior. And hey

371
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 4: we start, you're down fourteen nothing, and then now we

372
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 4: all have to make the play.

373
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 5: No, no, no no.

374
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 4: We've been down fourteen nothing before, We've been down ten

375
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 4: nothing before, and and we just trusted our technique more

376
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 4: in those games and kind of abandoned a little bit.

377
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,600

Speaker 2: the right hand, brought it in, got into the five,

492
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,359

00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 2: that culmination of the drive. We referenced in the opening

496
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: segment Welcome back, Let's go for Football Weekly with PJ Fleck.

497
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 2: We are on campus this week. Next week Tipsy Steer

00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: and High Pines Mike Grim along with Justin Gard coach.

499
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 2: I have to ask you, because one you had referenced

500
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: it a little bit. We were wondering as well, any

501
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: explanation on some of the review replays. Either you know,

502
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: at the game itself, obviously it was the fumble potentially

503
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: out the back of the end zone, the touchdown where

504
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: the guys told may have been in, may have been out,

505
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: might have bobbled it at the end and never completed

506
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 2: the act of the catch. And I don't know, maybe

507
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: there was another one mixed in there as well.

508
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we had been in contact over the

509
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 4: last few days with the commissioner and Bill Croll, the

510
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 4: head of officials, and Mark Coyle.

511
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 5: Was involved, and I was involved, and I.

512
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,719
Speaker 4: Have a lot of respect for what they do and

513
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 4: how hard the job is. But they completely understand that

514
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 4: we need to compete at the highest level and that's

515
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 4: even officiating as well, and just appreciate them taking the

516
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 4: time to call us back on all those take a

517
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 4: look at all those but it's football. You know, whether

518
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 4: they whether they got it right or wrong, that's not

519
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 4: for me to judge. They come back and give you rulings,

520
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 4: which which helped me feel a little bit better, but

521
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 4: not really because you know, you don't have you don't

522
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 4: have the victory.

523
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 5: But that's not the reason we lost.

524
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 4: So but it's, uh, you know, we just got to continue,

525
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 4: whether it's the NFL or college. I mean, everybody's got

526
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 4: their own opinions, officials and how we review things and

527
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 4: different things. But uh, if you if you don't want

528
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 4: to leave it up to that, just leave no doubt.

529
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 4: And unfortunately we didn't leave any doubt.

530
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 2: But some I think if you look at okay, it's

531
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: a bang bang play, it's a hard job. But then

532
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 2: to take minutes to watch all their angles and their

533
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: million dollar you know, studio in the facility and then

534
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: come back with a decision that may or may not

535
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: be right. But how as a head coach, how out

536
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: of control does that? You know, it's out of your control,

537
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 2: I guess is what I'm trying to say. How frustrating

538
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: is that? Or can you let that go? Or how

539
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 2: much does it great on you? Well?

540
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 4: I could definitely let it go after the fact. It's

541
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 4: just during the game. I'm pretty passionate about my team.

542
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 4: I'm passionate about my players. I'm gonna fight for my players.

543
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I've played this game for a long time.

544
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 4: I've watched it on the sideline for a long time.

545
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 4: I've coached it for a long time at every level,

546
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 4: and you know, I see what I see too, And

547
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 4: I'm not just sitting there trying to the reviews. A

548
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 4: review and TV is a TV. But of course I'm

549
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 4: gonna fight for what I think is right. I'm not

550
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 4: there to I'm not there to watch the game. I'm

551
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 4: not a fan.

552
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 5: You know I'm not. I didn't pay for a ticket.

553
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 4: I'm a coach, right, So my job is a coach

554
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 4: all the way through the game. And coaching isn't just

555
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 4: the X and O piece. That's a piece of it.

556
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 4: That's not just the player piece. That's another piece of it,

557
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 4: the official piece too. And it's it's not quote unquote,

558
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 4: it's not working officials.

559
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 5: I hate that.

560
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 4: It's just getting explanations managing the game. They're talking to you.

561
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 4: I'm talking to them. I give them keys. I'm like, hey,

562
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,479
Speaker 4: this is gonna be a screen here. Just help you out,

563
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like, I'll let the side judging.

564
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 4: They appreciate things like that. So I'm just because I'm

565
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 4: in their official talking to it doesn't mean that I'm

566
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 4: ripping them. But yeah, when there's certain things that maybe

567
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 4: I disagree with, I want an explanation, and I need

568
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 4: an explanation really quickly, and there's eighty thousand people there,

569
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 4: I got to be louder, That's what I mean. What

570
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 4: you want me to be quiet? Excuse me, sir? Would

571
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 4: you excuse me? Excuse me? Oh no, you can't hear me. Okay,

572
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 4: then never mind. I don't need to explanation like so,

573
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 4: I don't know. I just I'm passionate about what I do.

574
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 5: I love what I do, and I fight for our players.

575
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 4: And it's not like I'm trying to trick anybody, And

576
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 4: it's fighting for what you believe in and what you.

577
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 2: See and how that give and take. Along the sideline too,

578
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 2: where you're hoping to get some communication, some explanation. What

579
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: is your expectation as a coach of what a crew,

580
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 2: whether it's that one or any crew you work with,

581
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: in terms of trying to make sure you get answers

582
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: in a timely fashion, like you just said, and whether

583
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 2: the explanation is one you like or not, at least

584
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 2: you've gotten some communication there. You know.

585
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 5: I've been in.

586
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 4: The league almost nine years or nine years now, right,

587
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 4: we're going to be going on ten here coming up.

588
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 5: When you look at that, like, I pretty much know.

589
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 4: All the officials, whether it's the side judges or back judges,

590
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 4: or umpires or head referees, and I think communication is

591
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 4: a huge part of that. I have a ton of

592
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 4: respect for our Big Ten officials and what they do.

593
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 4: And you know, we get a chance to spend some

594
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 4: time in the off season at Big Ten meetings and

595
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 4: see them as people too, not just officials, and they

596
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 4: got a really hard job to do. I respect them.

597
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 4: I respect our commissioner and Bill Corolla and the job

598
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 4: they have, and.

599
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 5: You know, Dean Blandino and all the guys. You know.

600
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 4: I mean, it's I have a ton of respect for

601
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 4: their jobs. But I'm a huge all I ask. I

602
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 4: say it to every crew for the last thirteen years.

603
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: I just want you to talk to me, talk to me,

604
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 4: communicate with me, keep me informed. But if I need

605
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 4: an answer, I need an answer. It's not because I

606
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 4: need an answer. Get back to me at the end

607
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 4: of the quarter like I need an answer. It help me,

608
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 4: help me to help you whatever you need to get.

609
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 4: Help me manage my team to get a better result,

610
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 4: that you guys can officiate faster, better and more efficient.

611
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 4: So I think there's always a relationship with head coach

612
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 4: and officials, and I think I have a ton of respect.

613
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 5: For them and what they do.

614
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 2: One nice Jerry Maguire reference with help me help you.

615
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 2: That's good Child of the nineties. We got that grim

616
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 2: probably missed it. No Child of the eighties. But I

617
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 2: did want to talk about the relationship because it's fascinating

618
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: to me that you can go from like just screaming

619
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 2: at a guy and them being mad at you, and

620
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: then four seconds later you're like laughing and joking like

621
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 2: you're going to go You're going to go to the

622
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: Steve Prefontaine bar after the game, Like there's no if

623
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 2: someone just parachuted in from outer space and watched that dynamic,

624
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 2: it's an insane thing. When you really strip it back

625
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: and think about.

626
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 5: It, it is insane.

627
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 4: Sometimes people think like I'm really getting after him and

628
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 4: ripping them, but I'm actually giving them a big compliment passionately.

629
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 4: There there is one official and it's so funny because

630
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 4: as he shared the story with me before we played

631
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 4: a game that he officiated this year. It was from

632
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 4: last year and it was a USC game. It's Kyle,

633
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 4: and you know, I became a meme. I told him

634
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 4: I absolutely love him, you know, I just that was

635
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 4: what came out of my mouth. But it looks like

636
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 4: I'm screaming at him, and he actually thought like, well,

637
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 4: I told you it's a touchdown. And I was like,

638
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 4: I know, I love you, you know, like I was so excited.

639
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 4: And his wife actually printed out that photo because everybody

640
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 4: thought that like I was screaming at the guy in

641
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 4: a negative way, where I was like, I was so happy,

642
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 4: but it came out in a really passionate way. Or

643
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 4: then I'm going to go tell my team what just happened,

644
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 4: because I get the information sometimes first.

645
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I love the game. I love I

646
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 5: love the ebbs and flows of the game, and I

647
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 5: love it. I'm excited. I want to tell you I'm

648
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 5: focused but excited.

649
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: All right, let's take another break break breakdown Man, absolutely

650
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 2: long segment official officials that we we donated one shout

651
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 2: out to Kyle's special shout out to Kyle. That was

652
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,239
Speaker 2: fun last year you were that that showed up on them.

653
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: Every now and then you still see it. Someone will

654
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: reference that on it.

655
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 4: Just because like somebody's passionate on the sideline doesn't mean

656
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: that they're like whining.

657
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 5: He's whining. There's something that happened that we needed a

658
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 5: quick explanation.

00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: For, and we're passionate about and pretty energetic.

00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 4: And then sometimes I'll say something ba to you that

661
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 4: it's pretty funny.

662
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 5: That's why I'll start laughing. That's a good one, you know.

663
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, you got it.

664
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 5: You got to take it for what it's worth too.

00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 4: I mean, it's still a game, and we're both playing

666
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 4: a game and coaching a game, so and officiating a game.

Speaker 5: It's still a game, and.

668
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 4: Do everything you can to take it pretty serious but

669
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,560

685
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 2: think I looked it up. Your hometown, PJ. Fleck is

686
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: about fifty or so miles from wrigley Field. You grew

687
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 2: up a Cubs fan, So how cool will this be

688
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 2: for you to be stalking the sidelines in that venue.

689
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 5: That would be great.

690
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 4: You know, I grew up a Cubs fan and Mark

691
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 4: Grace area or the Ryan Samberg area, Sean Dunstan, it

692
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 4: was awesome. I mean, I love the Cubs and my

693
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 4: dad was a big Socks fan, and I think as

694
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,479
Speaker 4: anything a kid either goes one way or the other.

695
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 4: You root for the same team because your dad did,

696
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 4: or you just go complete opposite. Yeah, you guys can

697
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 4: go back and forth. And I kind of did that,

698
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 4: so I always loved the Cubs. I was actually on

699
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 4: a high school field trip where we got to be

700
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 4: at the Cubs game where Carrie Wood through twenty strikeouts. Like,

701
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 4: we were right there and it was raining, so we

702
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 4: got to move all the way down. We had box

703
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 4: seats by the end of the game. It was fantastic.

704
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 4: Who knows that game still be talked about. And it

705
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 4: happened to be where we were on a high school

706
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 4: field trip, which was that's what you do it, Caitlyn

707
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 4: High School. We did a nice little Cubs field trip, Yeah,

708
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 4: which is great. Nothing wrong with that. That's wrong with

709
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 4: that great place.

710
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: And I'm assuming you've watched some of the Northwestern Michigan

711
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 2: film because we always talk baseball fields and the first

712
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: thing that people start talking about is footing and grass,

713
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 2: and baseball grass is really not necessarily meant to have

714
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: football cleats running through it, So could you tell how

715
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 2: it was and how important will that be this week

716
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: to have the equipment folks on the right cleats.

717
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean on Sunday we had a practice where

718
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 4: guys tested out different cleats, and you know, we've been

719
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 4: talking about this off season, knowing we're going to play

720
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 4: in another baseball stadium, and some of the baseball stadiums

721
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 4: we played.

722
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 5: In, you know, I mean Arizona was great.

723
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 4: And then kept the roof open and it rained, and

724
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 4: then it became just an amazing moment, very unique.

725
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 2: After you've already gone in, right, you came out to

726
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: the rain basically, which our.

727
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 4: Guys were fired up because we were playing West Virginia,

728
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 4: if you remember, and they just chucked it around the yard.

729
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 4: They were falling and slipping and sliding. We were like,

730
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 4: this is perfect. Talk about home field advantage even though

731
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 4: we didn't do it, you know, it was like, this

732
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 4: is perfect. And then playing in Yankee Stadium, which was

733
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 4: just such a such a pleasure and what an atmosphere

734
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 4: that was in our bowl game and the bad Boy

735
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 4: morble and uh, but against surfaces are a little bit different,

736
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 4: you know, football fields and baseball fields are a little different.

737
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 4: I know that Riley has done a really good job

738
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 4: and it looked pretty solid, and you know that's that's

739
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 4: the least of our worries. But our equipment manager, Brady

740
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 4: go and You, has done a great job of providing

741
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 4: our guys with what they need and what he thinks

742
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 4: are going to need. We're also going to stop there,

743
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 4: I think on the way in. That was my question

744
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 4: as we go there, just to kind of see the

745
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 4: surface and get ready for that.

746
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 5: But our guys will be fine.

747
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: Will there be like like extra shoes, Do you bring

748
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: different sized cleats? I don't even know how that works.

749
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: They are they replacement cleats are totally separate pairs of shoes.

750
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally separate pairs of shoes between like their molded

751
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 4: cleats that they normally wear, and then also screwing cleats,

752
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 4: and then you also bring the actual cleat so you

753
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 4: can change the length of the actual cleat on the.

754
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 5: Bottom of the shoe.

755
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 4: So there's multiple different options our players have, and it's

756
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 4: all preference and how they feel and what positions they play.

757
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 2: I saw I was watching getting ready for the Gopher

758
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 2: basketball game on Saturday after we got back from the

759
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 2: Friday night game, and I happened to flip over the

760
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: Iowa USC game and USC changed cleats at halftime because

761
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 2: it doesn't rain much in California, and it was raining

762
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 2: right and apparently I didn't see the first happ but

763
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: apparently they were slipping all over and the receiver, Lemon,

764
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: who pretty good player, said yeah, change cleats, and it's

765
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: amazing how much better we were, so it can be

766
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 2: a factor. Wasn't that amazing?

767
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 5: And then right when the game was done, the sudden

768
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 5: came out.

769
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, I don't know what time

770
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 2: they probably had to play through rain out there. It

771
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 2: is sideline reporter, one on one. If it's raining, you

772
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: get to do the hit about the cleats. Every sideline

773
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 2: reporter in the history of sports, Like, I've already got

774
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: that in the chamber, like I can't wait to talk.

775
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to hold them on. I'm gonna clip this molded.

776
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: They put some new ones on there, and I'm gonna

777
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 2: sound like I'm the foremost shoe expert in the world.

778
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 2: But exactly, you got to take the layups right, you

779
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 2: got it. They're going to give you the little pitch

780
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 2: and catch. You got to do it every once in

781
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: a while.

782
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 4: Well, then I know what I'm going to say walking

783
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 4: into halftime to you, We're going to change our cleat.

784
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that will be what if you make a deal,

785
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 2: that's the first question, no matter what perfect, But what

786
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 2: if you're just pleading and then you're our cleats were

787
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 2: perfectly Brady did a great job, right exactly.

788
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, we'll talk. We'll make it all about the cleet.

789
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 2: The circumstance may be perfect plan At Northwestern, the team

790
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 2: cleats are no cleats. You've got to play them as well.

791
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: They obviously are coming off a heartbreaker where they lost

792
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: with a plus five turnover margin, which is difficult to do.

793
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 2: Michigan makes the field goal at the end, so they

794
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 2: have moved their way through the season. Some people think

795
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 2: they might be the most improved team from the start

796
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 2: of the season to now, what's your general assessment of

797
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 2: what you've seen there.

798
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 4: I would agree that they are definitely one of the

799
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 4: most improved teams.

800
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 5: From that two lane game.

801
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 4: And what people don't realize in that two lane game,

802
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 4: look at the score, but they turn it over a ton.

803
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 4: They did almost what Michigan did, right, but Tulane found

804
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 4: a way to win. And if you go back and

805
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 4: look at their drives, they're moving the ball, moving the ball,

806
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 4: moving the ball, and then bang a turnover. So if

807
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 4: they take the turnovers turnovers off the board, they probably

808
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 4: beat tu Lane.

809
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 2: You know, Tolane might be a playoff team.

810
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 5: And they're really good.

811
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 4: So, uh, you look back and you look at this

812
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 4: football team, and you look at their record, and you

813
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 4: look how they're playing. I mean, they're they're the ultimate team.

814
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 4: They play so well together, they're well coached. Coach Brown

815
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 4: does an amazing job of connecting that team. They've had

816
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 4: a lot of you know between you know, coach Fitzgerald

817
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 4: and the things they went through and and Northwestern and

818
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 4: changing coaches, and but they still play exactly the way

819
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 4: they played.

820
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 5: In years past.

821
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 4: And I think that's a credit to the culture of

822
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 4: those players and the type of players they always continue

823
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 4: to get. And they're they're older, they play together for

824
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 4: a long time, they've stayed together. How many people are

825
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 4: leaving that Northwestern education, you know in the portal, so

826
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 4: they can almost do it a little bit more through

827
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 4: the high school way of hey, we're gonna build it

828
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 4: like the old school model.

829
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 5: And so they've done a really good job.

830
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 4: You got a really really deep defense, really old defense,

831
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 4: tons of guys who have played a lot of football

832
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 4: offensively they're very, very efficient. The amount of third and

833
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 4: one they have is incredible, and then they just get

834
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 4: it and stay on the field. They've done a really

835
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 4: good job of squeezing all the juice from the orange

836
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 4: of my opinion, and they're very, very efficient on both sides,

837
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 4: including special teams.

838
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 2: Their linebackers seem like they're what Northwestern linebackers always always

839
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 2: had a couple at a pick some turnovers obviously, they

840
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 2: just they're.

841
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 4: Violent, the physic there, smart, They're always in the right positions.

842
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: You know.

843
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 5: They got a bunch of.

844
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 4: Mavericks running around, you know, I mean that's that's truly

845
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 4: what when you look at what Maverick does for us,

846
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 4: and they got a bunch of them.

847
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of them last names Fitzgerald, not that Fitzgerald.

848
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 2: But but it makes it it's fitting. Yeah, maybe saw

849
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 2: it for sure. But in terms of as you look

850
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 2: now two games left as a coach, I know you're

851
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 2: you know, singularly focused in on this game, but do

852
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: you also or have people now because we're getting to

853
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 2: that point where somebody's got to plan something, is it

854
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: too soon that people are at least like, hey, we

855
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 2: could go to this Bowl game, could go to this

856
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: bowl game. If you do this, you do this.

857
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we've we've just discuss that more non

858
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 4: with our team. It's more administratively just to plan, just

859
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 4: to start planning stuff and looking at what are the

860
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 4: possibilities where we go.

861
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 5: What does our record have to be to be here

862
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 5: and here?

863
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 4: But when you look at the big ten right now

864
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 4: and you look at the spots, it's all playoff driven.

865
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 4: So we don't know who's going to end up in

866
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 4: the college football plaoff and that then pushes everybody down right,

867
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 4: and that that changes orders, and you know, the bowls

868
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 4: still have the selection pick of who they actually want.

869
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 4: So we have some ideas, but we don't know exactly

870
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 4: what's going to happen. Our focus is just to be

871
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 4: one to oh and find a way to play better

872
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 4: than we did last week and find a way to

873
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 4: beat Northwestern and which we know is going to be

874
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 4: a really hard, tough out, very physical game.

875
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 2: All right, let's take our final break. We'll have our

876
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 2: final segment when we come back. We want to remind

00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if they have anything to do with Minnesota, though,

932
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 4: I think I think they would.

933
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: We got to get working on it. I mean, like

934
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 2: Iowa gets in there a little bit that's annoying. I

935
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 2: think Caitlin Clark probably did it, you know. Yeah, you

936
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 2: gotta find the hook. Yeah, think about that today probably. Yeah.

937
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 4: You know, it's a good thing for about here.

938
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 2: You put about three hours your day into trying to

939
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 2: figure that out.

940
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's good, Josh for Chandler.

941
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 2: That's true. Yeah, this summer. Who was your favorite cub

942
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 2: growing up?

943
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 5: Wow, that's a great question.

944
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 4: My favorite baseball player in general growing up was Greg Jeffries.

945
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 4: I think I told you that great Jeff Mets, yeah, which.

946
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 5: I have no idea. I have no idea.

947
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

948
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 5: I was obsessed with Greg Jefferies.

949
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 4: And it was funny because a few Fathers days ago,

950
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 4: Brevin s van Ford stopped my team meeting and said, coach,

951
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 4: it was on Father's around Father's Day, and he's like, coach,

952
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 4: we have a gift for you.

953
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 5: And he comes walking out and it.

954
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 4: Was a jag Greg Jeffries card and it was signed

955
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 4: because when I was a child, I wrote a letter

956
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 4: to Greg Jefferies wanting an autograph what you did back?

957
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 4: He couldn't trust him, couldn't, you know, get him on

958
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 4: Instagram or Twitter.

959
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 5: So wrote him a letter. I never heard back, crushed

960
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 5: men day.

961
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 4: I still I still remember it vividly, never got a

962
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 4: checked the mailbox every day, and uh after about a year,

963
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, and I don't think it's coming.

964
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 4: And uh so I told the story about to our

965
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 4: team about why I write back everybody who writes us,

966
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 4: whether it's good or bad. Like most people, most people

967
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 4: get something back. And uh that's why I do it

968
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 4: because of Greg Jefferies.

969
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 5: And I'm not calling Greg Jeffers a bad guy.

970
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 4: Just you influenced my life, Greg Jeffries at an elite

971
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 4: level where I now write everybody back. And so they

972
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 4: presented me with a signed Greg Jeffries baseball card and

973
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 4: it was one of the greatest father's days ever.

974
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 5: I was like, this is amazing.

975
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 4: So anyway, but yeah, like Mark Grace, I absolutely loved

976
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 4: everybody was like Mark Pryor and carry Wood fans just

977
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 4: because you know what he did. But I would say

978
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 4: Ryan Samberg up all time. I was a Ryan Samberg fan,

979
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 4: like besides, like there was the Punky QB. McMahon and

980
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 4: then there and then there was Ryan Zamberg and that

981
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 4: was that was Those were the Cubbies.

982
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you forget Bartman?

983
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 5: Absolutely, man, I mean that's an instinct.

984
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 4: I forgive the guy. Of course we've won World Series

985
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 4: since then, so you were good.

986
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, hey, World Series. Yeah, I enjoyed it. Actually, well, yeah,

987
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 2: you're a Cardinals dude. That was a great response. Being

988
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 2: able to overcome that. Yeah, that was a heck of

989
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 2: not talk about him done with the Cubs. The Cubs. Well,

990
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,439
Speaker 2: do you think bred could help me with this? Because

991
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety two final four. I went up to

992
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 2: ask Kareem Abdul Jabbar for his autograph at the Metrodome

993
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 2: and he looked at me and said, I'm not signing

994
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 2: any autographs, and now I signed every autograph for everything. Yeah,

995
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 2: you were just signing them outside of this right, even

996
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 2: though no one has asked for my autograph in twenty

997
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 2: years of doing this, but if they do, you're gonna

998
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 2: sign it. You're gonna I remember being the ten year

999
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 2: old at the Metro Dome, and I've actually interviewed Kareem

1000
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 2: in the interim for a couple of things. Did you

1001
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 2: ask didn't I didn't have the guts, you didn't have

1002
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 2: enough to go. I'm not going to help you with

1003
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 2: your documentary. Kareem nineteen ninety two Metro Dome. Yeah, you

1004
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 2: just blew me off. But I understood why because if

1005
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 2: you signed one at the Dome in the aisle, then

1006
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 2: everybody's going up to Kareem, you know, and it's disrupting

1007
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 2: the fall. I get it now as an adult, but

1008
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 2: it's stung. It's a spoiled ten year old at the

1009
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two five four at the Soda Social Thursday

1010
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 2: night out in Eugene, I thought you were going to

1011
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 2: get some people asking you to sign stuff. Guardgie was

1012
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 2: very popular amongs ago. We made a lot of videos

1013
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 2: that night for people's people that weren't there. You know,

1014
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 2: you did you did you you? We tried to try

1015
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 2: to be ambassadors for you out there, and it was

1016
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 2: it was we did. Okay, I have you sure, sure

1017
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 2: you did? All right? Thank you? I have you pegged

1018
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 2: as a shortstopper center fielder, correct, Is that right?

1019
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1020
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 4: And then I did a little catching too. I love

1021
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 4: to kind of be in control of that piece. So

1022
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 4: those are the three positions I played. And ironically, you know,

1023
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 4: my one of my sons as a really good baseball player.

1024
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 4: And he plays and you know, he loves center field.

1025
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 5: That's where he plays.

1026
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 4: And he's really fast, and he's bigger than me, and

1027
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 4: I mean he's I think he's got a chance. Of course,

1028
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:35,760
Speaker 4: you know, I don't I don't know anything about baseball,

1029
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 4: so especially recruiting, but he's I think he's gonna he's

1030
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 4: gonna do some really big things because he loves it.

1031
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 4: Man's and sleeps the game of baseball. And yeah, he's

1032
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 4: he's His first words was baseball. You know, you know

1033
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 4: it wasn't. But but truly, that's all I talked about,

1034
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 4: like everything to baseball.

1035
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: He wasn't really really, That's that's bas I'm going to

1036
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 2: use that in the radio broadcast. That's correct. Did you

1037
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 2: were you multi sport? I know you did? You play

1038
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 2: baseball the way up through?

1039
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 4: We didn't have a high school baseball team, believe it

1040
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 4: or not. Really there's a little bit of Michael Jordan

1041
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 4: I have something in common.

1042
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, only if you know.

1043
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 2: That you got cut from your basketball team.

1044
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 5: Well, no, I played basketball.

1045
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 14: No, I know.

1046
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 2: I saw this was about to say, yeah, so.

1047
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 4: Basketball, No, but I played football, ran track. But we

1048
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 4: had a high school baseball team that just started my

1049
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 4: freshman year, and my buddy Sean Wins and I we

1050
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 4: were really good baseball players, played club ball. We were

1051
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 4: moving up the ranks together. And they had a freshman

1052
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 4: baseball team and my wide receiver coach, a Cameland High

1053
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 4: School named Steve Oxteader in case you.

1054
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 5: Want to you know, DM them.

1055
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 4: Uh decided like that was pretty good, Like I think

1056
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 4: we were two of the best players on the team.

1057
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 4: Of course, you know I thought this, We thought Cameland

1058
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 4: just started a high school baseball program that year and

1059
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 4: we were freshman. Well, he decided to keep no freshman.

1060
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 4: We're not keeping freshman. We had a varsity team only,

1061
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 4: and we're not keeping any freshman.

1062
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 5: That was his rule. I got cut from my high

1063
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 5: school baseball.

1064
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 4: I didn't make it, and I was like, I was

1065
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 4: so crushed and devastated. And then I ran track and

1066
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 4: did very well in track. So but baseball was my

1067
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 4: first love. Wow, and uh, what could have been?

1068
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 2: And they did it. Then they dropped it after that.

1069
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 5: No, no, they didn't have it. They created it.

1070
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 4: My freshman year just didn't keep any freshman because so

1071
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 4: many people came to try out. He's like, listen, So

1072
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,959
Speaker 4: then it was not keeping any freshmen. And and then

1073
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 4: I still text he text me all the time to

1074
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 4: this day, and I always say, hey, man, I would

1075
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 4: have been a better baseball player.

1076
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 5: That's a coach. Could possibly still be playing.

1077
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, who knows, you could still.

1078
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 5: We have a great relationship. It's just we always joke

1079
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:33,319

1109
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,360

1111
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 5: Drive through, right.

1112
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 4: They start at the end of the facility and our

1113
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 4: players meet them down there and as they go they're

1114
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:51,919
Speaker 4: just there there.

1115
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 5: There's about ten different stops.

1116
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 4: There's hot chocolate at the very end, they're getting turkeys

1117
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 4: or getting stuffing.

1118
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 5: Then every one of them is a different stop.

1119
00:47:59,600 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 2: Uh.

1120
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 4: And our players get to interact with all the people too.

1121
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 4: Our players are dancing. There's there's movies for the kids

1122
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 4: along the drive, like a drive in movie.

1123
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 5: That happens pretty quick.

1124
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 4: But I think it's so great for our players to

1125
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,280
