1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: We'll start with Mike Priests. Go ahead, Mike. Thanks, Stacy James,

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: how you doing today? Hey good, Mike, you doing well.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: What are we representing up top? Let's start with that

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: on the hat and what do we got up there? Yeah,

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: it's the Hawkeye Wrestling Club. So it's the Iowa wrestling

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: team's um Olympic Club. So you the guys that they

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: rely on donations from, you know, alarm supporters, you know,

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: to help collegiate athletes transition and uh, you know, aspire

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: their Olympic goals. I could be way off on this.

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: Is Dan Gable? Is that like any connection there or

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 1: not at all? Yeah? Dan dan Gabel is actually the

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: one who founded the uh the wrestling club. And the

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: way the world of wrestling works is, you know, the

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: better your Olympic club is, the better your collegiate team is.

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: So Dan Gabel starting the Olympic Club is basically what

16
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: really propelled Iowa to you know, the national scene. So

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: obviously as the founder, he was pretty instrumental in the

18
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, a long line of success Iowa wrestling has

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: had the transition to the game. Yesterday, I assume you

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: guys were in you know, go through the corrections, right,

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: and then get ready to turn the page here, What

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: can you relay to us just in terms of how

23
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 1: you process the game from the offensive line standpoint, Yeah,

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, you know we did some things well and

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: then we did some things that you know, we need

26
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: to really work on. Um. You know, some of that

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: just comes with the shuffling of the line, working through

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: some injuries, things like that. But you know, at the

29
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: end of the day comes down to fundamental play things

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: you know we can improve on. And you know, the

31
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: good news for us is, you know we can get

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: a week here of practice and try and fix those

33
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: and you know, have you know better success this Sunday,

34
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, trying to string together you know more place.

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: I did want to ask you about Mac and just

36
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: how what you you know, you're you're so close to

37
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: him just by nature of the position, right, What did

38
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: you observe from him in terms of how he handled

39
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: not just the game, James, but just the whole week,

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, coming off of the game before and everything

41
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: that unfolded with that. Uh No, I mean I can't

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: say nothing good things about Mac. I think he really

43
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: said a good tone of you know, Monday night was

44
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: Monday night, it was time to move on to the Jets.

45
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: You know, a divisional game, really good football team. Um,

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, it started Wednesday in our walkthrough. I think

47
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: Mac did a good job of just taking command and uh,

48
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, we were all trying to turn the page

49
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: and uh you know, and then Sunday Eve, when things

50
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: weren't going the greatest, Mac again, you know, I think

51
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: he showed his leadership, um, you know, his poise, you know,

52
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: never pointing the finger, just you know, kind of kept

53
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: encouraging everybody to keep working. So, you know, I can't

54
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: say enough good things about Mac. We'll open up and

55
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: see if anybody else has a question. If not, Mike,

56
00:02:42,639 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: go ahead for another. There's Karen Grey. Game go ahead, Karen. Now, yeah,

57
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: hey Karen, how are you? Hey? Good James. I was

58
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: wondering if you had yet gotten any advanced work done

59
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: on Indy and what threats their front poses for Sunday's game.

60
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: Uh No, Today, today it's just really been you know,

61
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: working on this Jets game, just seeing what we need

62
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: to improve on. You know, we'll turn the page here

63
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: and about you know, thirty minutes or so, and then

64
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: we'll start really focusing in on Indy. You know, just again,

65
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, you just look back and you're just thinking

66
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: off the top of your head. Last year's game, another

67
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: team that did a great job just getting a lot

68
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: of pressure with their front four. So you know, it's

69
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: gonna be another challenge ahead of us, and you know,

70
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: hopefully we're up for appreciate it. Thank you, James, Yeah,

71
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, And we'll go back to my priests. James,

72
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: I know how close you are to David, and with

73
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: everything he's going through, I'm just like, what what type

74
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: of connection do you have on a week when you

75
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: know he's trying to get himself better, but he's obviously

76
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: still invested right in what's going on and he wants

77
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: to help you. So what does that look like, you

78
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: know from from your your perspective. Yeah, no, Dave, you know,

79
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: he got back in the building. I think it was

80
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: like Thursday afternoon or so, and so, um, you know,

81
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: he's just you know, he's offering every piece of advice

82
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: he can, being supportive in the role. You know, when

83
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: you're on the sidelines, it's a really difficult one, and

84
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: especially Dave, who is you know, the core leader of

85
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: this team. Um, you know, I'm not sure there's anything really,

86
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: you know, more important his life outside of Kenzie and

87
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: Ford than this football team. So um, you know, he

88
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: had some words of encouragement Sunday morning heading into it,

89
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: so I know he couldn't be there, but you know

90
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: he's he's doing everything he can to get there, and obviously,

91
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: you know he can only control so much. You got

92
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: trick or treaters in your house tonight? Yeah, yeah, we're

93
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna head home here in a little bit. Uh,

94
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think maybe we get eight houses in.

95
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: We'll see, you know. Then the fighting scream, I mean

96
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: usually starts. So you know six thirty can be a

97
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: tough hour at our house. That's it. That's it. Start fast, yeah,

98
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: and then and then get an early lead and then

99
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: sit on the ball. All right, that's the strategy tonight.

100
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: It's sitting on the ball with me eating all their

101
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: candy without them knowing it. That's that's I don't know,

102
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's good. What's number one on

103
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: the list? What's your number one? You know, Reese's cups

104
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: can't go wrong now, I feel like it's a safe play.
