1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: It's the guy who want to talk about her as

Speaker 1: later Mike check. I'm just kid, I'm good, you guys man.

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. I haven't heard funny one from

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: the daily well account of a long time. You know.

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: It's it's always fun. I mean I've been back a

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: few times with it up there, so um, it's good.

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: My kids came to the spring game and twenty one

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: Jets first year, so I got to see it, which

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: is fun. So um, anytime you come back here, it's

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: a good time. It's fun. It's uh, you know, uh

11
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: kind of a I don't say a second home, but

12
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: it's a it's home for me. Um. They've done a

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: great job with all the renovation since I've been here

14
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: a long time ago. So but it's it's fun being back.

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: It's all changed. That whole end zone, uh completion, the

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: whole football facility has been gone or it wasn't here.

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: This wasn't here. The beach volleyball course where we practice,

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: our our locker room, weight room was in McHale. So

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: it's all changed time in here, for sure. I mean

20
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: even we had grass on the stadium, not turf, so

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: it's all changed. No, all right, now. We went to

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: the bat A couples went to basketball game last night,

23
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: which was fun. Um, but uh, we don't have time.

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: We got meetings, we go, we got enough stuff going on.

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 1: So why is this a good place to do something

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: like this? To spend as much time as you guys

27
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: are spending together, spend the week practicing here? Why is

28
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: why is this the right spot for you guys? I

29
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: mean there's a it's a you know, obviously we're staying

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: up north, the great little place up there, Allapaloma, and then, um,

31
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think the facilities are good. It's all

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: fairly close, the weight room, training room, stadium, practice city,

33
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: so um, you kind of get away from a little bit.

34
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: You're not in the hustle bustle of things. It's um,

35
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun to kind of be back.

36
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: And I think, guys, are you know, I'm kind of

37
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: excited to be back on a major campus. It's it's

38
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: fun to be uh fun to be back and seeing everyone,

39
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: uh you know walking around. Great memories for me, great memories.

40
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun. Um. I was here, I've

41
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: I've been back twice in the last couple of years.

42
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: In twenty with COVID. We did a little road trip,

43
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: my family and I and we parked the RV right there.

44
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: I walked my kids around, they ran around. There was

45
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: more cops run around campus and the worst students because

46
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: of COVID. UM. And then last a couple years ago

47
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: with the spring games, we've been around for a little bit. Um,

48
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: so it's fun to get back and walking around between

49
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: seas or Yeah. That was uh, that was um. We

50
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 1: did it end of May, beginning of June. So yeah,

51
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: so we had just like to do. Yeah, I mean

52
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: we the kids had just finished school and we were

53
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's going on, and we said,

54
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: let's just take an RD trip. We haven't done it,

55
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: and um, it was fun to kind of get out

56
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: and then walk around. So I made a big trip

57
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: out of it. This is one of our last stuff.

58
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: I didn't spend the night here and just walked around,

59
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: hung out, let the kids get out. So it was good.

60
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: What's the biggest factor that's been able to kind of

61
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: refindal lights her career? Um? I don't know. I mean think, um,

62
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, playing for a good team, playing with good teammates,

63
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: good coaches. That always helps. Um, you know, I'm just

64
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: trying not to lose faith and uh kind of keep

65
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: it going, keep keep rolling. That trained hard from that

66
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: last game in Tampa to the you know, when I

67
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: finally got back to to play with New England. Um,

68
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: so anytime we can, you gonna get a chance. And

69
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: I just said, look, I just need one chance and

70
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: hopefully I can get it. So the most memorable probably

71
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: a couple beat in U c l A U. I

72
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: mean two thousand and five. They were a top ranked team.

73
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: Um we beat as U and they were a top

74
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: fifteen team. And then I had a game winning kick

75
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: against BYU. That was pretty fun. So season it was

76
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: season I believe yep, it was one second ago. You

77
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: could do the sixteen thirteen. What do you remember about that? Um?

78
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: What the moment in general? Just I mean I just

79
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: went out there and told myself to put a good ball,

80
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: to hit a hit a good ball. Um. You know,

81
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: a season opening, a lot of a lot of good

82
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: a lot of good energy in the stadium, a lot

83
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: of fun. Um. But I remember most I had to

84
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: go in and punt again that game, so I thought

85
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: my punning days were over, but I went back and punted,

86
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: and um, you know it was. It was a great moment,

87
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: A lot of fun gave us a good momentum for

88
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: the season. Um. I think we finished that season six

89
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: and six, unfortunate not to make a Bowl game, but um,

90
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, we had fun. How have you navigated how

91
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: have you navigated all the ups and downs of your career?

92
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: I mean, indeed, you just take it all day by

93
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: day and then um, you know, I think you just

94
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: got a lot of belief in yourself and um, I

95
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: got a great support system with my wife and kids

96
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: and family. So um, anytime you can, you just you

97
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: just get back out there and get back on the

98
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: Sabot's part of the game. There's not many guys who

99
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: uh don't get released or play for one team their

100
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: entire career, So um, you just kind of gotta take

101
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: it day by day and take every situation as it comes,

102
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: and and do with a smile on your face. Yeah.
