  Speaker 5: Boom Well, Jake, Appreciate you coming out, Appreciate you taking
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: time to stop by Northwest and highlighting our student athletes.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: It's just a good way to showcase these guys here
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: that are on campus.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: We aren't glad to be here. So let's talk some baseball.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: It's one of those sports that never ends, right, it
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: never ends. As you know, we were talking I was
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: talking with I believe it was doctor McEwan about this.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: We were talking social media and schools and how you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: you guys have that element to you know, kind of
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: navigating I don't know if you saw the Little League
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: World Series going on now, and one of the teams,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I think it's one of the teams from New York,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: was talking about they attributed some of their success to
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: when their guys get to the field and it's typically
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: a five hour pre game whatever they're doing, you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: kind of get ready for the game, they have to
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: put all their phones in a bucket and they can't
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: touch it, and they said, we feel like that's really
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: allowed us to kind of, you know, regain some focus
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: on the team. How do you guys handle social media phones.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: Well, I think you have to balance it out because
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: you know, social media, to these guys, it's kind of
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: like whenever we were playing back in the day, we
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: wanted to see our name in the paper with that
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: OTV beside it or something like that. So social media
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: has to be there to highlight your cause and stuff
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: like that. And fortunately for us, we have Nathan Parvis
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: on staff who does a phenomenal job at highlighting our
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: baseball athletes and our athletes across the board here at
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: Northwest Rank.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: And but you know, you have to be able to.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Use the social media to build your platform, to build
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: your brand, and and I think we've we've done a
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: very good job of that. But at the same time,
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: there's so much information now with the hands of these
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: players that I feel like in some ways they get
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: caught up in analyzing so many things and all the
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: tools that are out there. There's always a new gadget
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: that can help you with your swing or or some
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: way to hey, if you do this, this is going
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: to get you to the next level. And sometimes it
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: causes the players to to skip out on the element
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: of fun and just having fun playing the game of baseball.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: And uh so sometimes you want to just like take
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: those phones put away and just guys, let's go out here,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: get after it. Let's let's give it all we got.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: Let's let's control what we can control. And you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: if the good, if the good Lord's willing, you're going
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: to reach your potential. And you know, that's the message
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: that we try to push. And you know, we we
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: have great families in our program. They've done a great
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: job raising quality young men and uh we just try
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: to help them, uh bring them together, put them out
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: there on the field, let them showcase their talents and
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: help them become the best person that they can be.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Kk Audridge head but baseball coach here at Northwest frank
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: And Tuesday edition year program. Yeah, I was talking with
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: a coach last year baseball coach. It was it was
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: on air and we he was in studio and we
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: were talking about he said, you know, there's as you
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: know this baseball's got the most acronyms. They've got the
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: most you know data. I mean, it's a data driven sport.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: And he said it. You know, we get parents and
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: people come to us and talking about blow and talking
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: about this stat and that stat and that. It's like,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: let's slow it down, like we've almost overcome. Yes, I'm
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: sure all of those matter to some degree of a
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: level of you know, just you know, kind of importance,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: but let's slow it down and let's focus.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: On the basics.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, like you're saying, there's a time and place
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: for all of that. But you know, teaching a young
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: kid that's thirteen and fourteen a launch angle, well, what
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: are you really setting him up for? You might be
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: setting him up for hitting a fly out and then
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: not successful for his program. And so you just have
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: to look at that and kind of take it day
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: by day and just let them kind of gear everything
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: towards the level that they're at and not try to
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: rush the process. And I think, you know, you hear
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: all the time about you know, Nick Saban and why
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: he was so great. It was always trust the process,
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: Trust the process, and that's what I think, you know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: players have to be able to do. I got finished
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: talking with our guys today. You know, it was neat
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Nick Monastery called and left a voice message about some
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: things that they're doing. And some of the things that
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: he was talking about was just the extra work that
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: they put in and the things that he realized that
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: maybe later on he wishes he would have done at
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: an earlier age, such as the nutritional part, such as
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: the speed and agility stuff, stuff that actually, you know,
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: will make a difference in their performance and help them
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: reach their their level. But a lot of times, you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: the players when they're thirteen, fourteen, fifty even you know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: you know in high school, they're not paying attention to
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: those things, right, And so that's one part of it
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: that you know, we're trying to see how we can
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: improve just as a baseball team, a baseball program. How
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: can we help those guys look at those things and
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: make themselves a complete player by taking not only control
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: of their attributes as a player, but also their physical strength,
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: what they eat, what goes in their bodies, what they
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: think about those types of things as well.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're right, I mean that's things that you
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: know twenty five thirty years ago, maybe even ten years ago.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, yes, there's always been an importance on nutrition,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: but just what you said, I mean, you're seeing in
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: all sports at an earlier age, people trying to pay
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: attention more to diet and exercise and you know, not
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: just exercise about their playing, but you know, calistenics, stretching,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: you know, prehab, rehab, I mean, all that, everything that
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: goes into it. You're seeing that happen at all sports
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: at a younger age.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: Now, yeah, absolutely, I mean that's just you put that
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: into your programs. I mean, we just got finished so
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: hot out here with the temperatures and stuff like that,
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: we're having to be careful with what we do and
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: can't get outside all the time whenever we want to,
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: and so we're in the weight room a good bit
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: and so just sitting down, stretching, doing those type of things,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: just to try to get our bodies to where they're
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: ready to go whenever the season gets here.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Tell us about this group of Cougar's coming up. I
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: know you've probably got some guys that are gonna be
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: playing some other sports, but baseball is a competitive is
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: any sport? Right here on this campus, you guys have
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: one of the best programs in the State. Talk a
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: little bit about this group of Cougar's coming through.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, very excited about this upcoming season. You know, we
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: had some success last year, just didn't finish it out
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: the way that we would like to have. But we
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: have some guys that are coming back in integral parts.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: One one guy, Jack Page on the mound, the Southern
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: miscommit he's gonna be really big for us this year.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Then we have John Merylmore at shortstop. Kim Thompson was
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: our third basement last year kind of hitting a three
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: hole four, so he's back as well. Of course, Gavin
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Phillipson starting quarterback. He's he's gonna be running around in
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: center field, does a really good job of roll in
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: the outfield force. And so then we have some other
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: seniors that are ready to go, and also some juniors
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: and and and some sophomores too that are are ready
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: to push some guys to win some positions. And so
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: we're gonna get out there and find out who the
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: best are and put them out there and know that
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: we can compete against anybody.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: You know, seven A is so competitive. We were talking
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: off the air about pedal and and this is no
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: disrespect to Pedal wonderful baseball program. Come out of the
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: four hole or you know, four slot in Region three
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: with you guys and Brandon and Oak Grove and then
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: I mean just went on a run. We've seen you
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: guys do that brand.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: It's done that.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, we've seen other teams. I think that just
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: goes to the level and the depth of how good
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: baseball is in the state.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: But it's also it's just playing right at the right time.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: And you know that's a sports cliche, but that's what
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: it boils down to a lot of times. And you
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: don't ever want to necessarily start off your best. Uh,
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: you don't want to peak too early. And what you
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: want to do is be playing your best baseball whenever
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: the playoff time rolls around. And give credit to Pedal
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: last year, that's what they were doing well.

• 11:10
  Speaker 7: the rest of the day. I mean, you're you're in it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: And I just got off the bus here short shortly
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: after school ended, and I'm here now. But we're here
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: and we're feeling good.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: So obviously we've been talking to several soccer coaches. I
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: have to ask this, and I know it's always a yest.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Do you enjoy the world Cup this year I did.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: I did, obviously not the ending the USA had, but
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: as a as a soccer fan, I mean it was
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: a big time. I mean because it kind of put
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: a put arrest to some stigmas of we might not
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: be that passionate about soccer.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: And as you can saw, it was an.
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: Influx of it from the from the world, but also
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: from US. I feel like we did our fair share.
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: So it was really fun to watch. The events were
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: really good. I didn't get to go catch one, but
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: I thoroughly enjoyed watching just about every match I can
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: get my eyes on.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you would have to think, and I don't
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I don't pretend to know how far out those events
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: are bid on in the future. I'm sure it's you know,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: the next two or three, but that the US would
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: be back in the running for that again, Oh, you
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: would have to think.
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: And I believe they do it too in advance, and
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: so we've already got our next two set up, and
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: so they're gonna be voting on the third here soon.
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: But yeah, you would, you would have to think, and
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: just from I consider myself a connoisseur as best as
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: I can. But they've definitely from what I've read, they've
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: had talks of it. They've loved it, FIFA loved it,
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: and I mean, we can put the best show on
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: in the world, man, right, no.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Doubt about it.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: We're visiting with Dalen Britt He is a girl socarcers
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: coach here at Northwest frank And it is Cougar's day
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: on your radio. All right, So let's talk soccer here locally.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Take us through what the last few years have been
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: like for you guys, and then of course about the
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: passion you know, obviously talking to KK Alder, which we
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: know baseball is real big.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: We're in a football season. Soccer is real big here too.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, oh man, So I mean I grew up in it, definitely.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: I'm from the area. I'm from Brecking County down the
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: road in Florence. But since i've been here, this is
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: my only teacher job I had, and all the teachers
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: up there tell me, do not take it for granted,
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: the ones that have had pit stops along the way.
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: But I've absolutely loved it here.
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: You've always known about Northwest ranking soccer, you know, since
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: I was growing up early two thousands, all that good stuff.
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: But being here and being in it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: It's just kind of a different level as far as
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: the players, the parents, the support that you get from
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: the community, the coaching that you've kind of got to
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: bring every day. It's a lot, but it's in a
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: good way, if you know what I mean. Where Like,
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: like you said, in recent years, we've we've been able
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: to find a lot of success boys and girls. Boys
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: made their fair sheriff state championships coming up, just shorten
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: a few of them, but still not for effort, not
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: for not belonging there. I mean, they busted their butt,
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: just just that's the way the coin flip that day,
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: and the girls were have to able to pull off
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: a few we just lost. We went to three in
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: a row and lost our third one this past year,
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: So it was it was a tough one. It was
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: a devastating one. But uh, there's there's a lot of
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: schools in the state that would that would love to
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: be in the game. And so just the constant success,
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's a it's a high demand, but you
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: get to reap the benefits of it at the end
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: of the year and it's just awesome to be part
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: of How.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Many girls anula do you guys have to come out
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: try out for the team.
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: So we're strange dynamic actually because we kind of have
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: a filter of a middle school team, and so our
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: high school team, we don't necessarily get a ton of
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: high school players that come out. We do get some,
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: but our big trout is actually to kind of get
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: onto our middle school team, and so that's where we
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: kind of have a filtering step before we get into
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: that high school team, and we try our best to
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: take it just as serious at those younger ages to
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: kind of set the precedent of, hey, this is a
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: prestigious program and we want you to be a part
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: of it. But you've got to want to be a
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: part of it. And so we roughly have at a
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: middle school try out what you deem high school. I'd
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: say around fifty to sixty. Sometimes some years about seventy
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: girls show up and we end up rostering roughly fifty total,
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: seven through twelveth roughly.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's excuse me, that's still that's a lot
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: of kids to have to manage, right, Yeah, man, it's
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: a lot of kids.
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: It's it's definitely it takes a group effort. Like I said,
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: our parents support is fantastic when it comes to all
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: of our community service. When it comes to our team
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: bonding events, our parents step in and take a huge
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: weight of that off the coaches shoulders. They're fantastic throughout
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: the entire year, not just the season. A great a
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: great staff we have this year. We've recently lost to
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: middle school coach, but we added a new one on
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: named Charlie Cooper, and she's done a great job so far.
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: And then my second year returning assistant, Abby Taylor, who's
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: just like taking the bull by the horns and she
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: has been awesome at managed, helping me manage the players
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: and kind of doing her due diligence with everything that
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: sometimes I forget about, which she's learned. I have a
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: terrible memory. But they've been fantastic. So luckily it's not
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: just me managing them. It's it's a group effort with it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: But it does.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: I mean, it takes a village, for sure. They say
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: it takes a village for just one kid. I mean,
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: so we got fifty of them.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: We're having a conversation with coach Dylon Britt Dalen brit
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: excuse me. He is the girl soccers coach here at
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Northwest Rank and Tuesday edition of your radio show, you
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: said you grew up at don in Florence.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: I did as well. Well, I've talked about that off the air,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: so we'rend. Kendrick Spears.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, absolutely, I will.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Ask you this on that response on that, knowing that,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: did you ever think you would see Rand County? And
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: I've been I've been talking about this for weeks. I
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: know Rod probably gets started to be saying, I am
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: just amazed every school in Ranking County has turf.
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: For you kidding me, I can't believe it, man, I'll
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: be honest, And it's all good. I mean, I'm sure
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: there will always be a negative Nancy out there that's
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: kind of bring up, well, well this will that, But
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: I mean it's just awesome. It's awesome for the smaller
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: schools to be able to because it's it's a struggle
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: for them at times, you know, to manage that grass
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: field to get those games in. You're talking football games,
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: soccer games, like you're talking a lot of sports, big
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: time sports, and so it's it's awesome for them and
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: especially you know, my grassroots over at Florence, Like that's
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: that's big time for them because they're they're also a
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: very well known soccer school, and so a lot of
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: these schools very deserving. But then also it just gives
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: these schools an opportunity that more opportunities to come in
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: the future that they're going to have that they would
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: not have had without a turf field.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: So it's good.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure you know, like some coaches have said,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: i mean, obviously soccer, you guys are going to play
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: in the elements, but if you had a heavy, heavy
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: rain come through on a soccer day, I mean in
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: the morning, by afternoon, this thing's gonna be drought here
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: that you're gonna be playing.
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, man, it's the funniest story too. We had
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: a semi final a couple of years back that we
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: played Brandon, you know, crosstown rival. It was it was
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: it was a big deal. It was a good game,
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: we had a good team. It was a twenty five
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: year which we went on to win it that year.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: But in the semi final, it was torrential down poor,
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: heaviest rain, cats and dogs, whatever saying that you want.
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: To say, it was. It was bad. It was rough.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: We were out here, we were in it.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: No lightning delayed us and so we just kept on
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: keeping on and we ended up pulling that one out
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: one to oh with about one.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: Second left in the game. But it was tough. But
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: to your point, you know we can get it in.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: No, there's no doubt.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Talk about We got a couple of minutes here with
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: coach Daleen Britt girls Soccer's coach here at Northwest. Frank
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: and Chris Langer will join us in the next segment
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: talking college in the NFL, the growth of soccer just
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: as you've seen it in this state and how big
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: it's got.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: Oh man, it's crazy because I get to see from
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: both sides. So I'm also a girls director over at
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: Ranking Soccer Club and based out of Brandon, and coach
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: our two oldest girls age groups over at Rush United,
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: which I mean numbers based. We are the biggest club
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: in the state of Mississippi right now. I'm pretty pretty
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: successful with them. We've got a great group from all
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: over the area, all over the state. Honestly, we get
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: girls traveling from Biloxi, the Ocean Springs down from Tupelo,
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: all over the area. So to that point, it's grown
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: so much just from when I was playing. There's always
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: good and bad with everything, but so far it's been
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: really really good. It's it's becoming a little bit more prominent,
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: and it's been fun to watch since since I was young.
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: You know, because you the with the with soccer growing
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: as a whole, you get better coaches, you get more
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: involvement from parents, you get better funding from people that
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: just want to be a part of it. So it's
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: it's good from all fast ends.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Well, we appreciate your time today and look best of
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: luck this year. Hey, yeah, thank you so much.

  Speaker 3: teams BYU number one in college football this year. The
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Cougar's obviously are getting a lot of love in the
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Big Twelve. The coaches of the Big Twelve picked the
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: by you Cougar's to win the conference. Wouldn't be surprised
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: by that Texas Tech that was going to be the
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: favorite Indiana. They still feel like Indiana's undervalued. Northwestern Iowa
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: and Boise State, followed by Ole, miss TCU, Twulane, Cincinnati,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: and how about this hail State Mississippi State as an
• 19:51

  Speaker 9: and you know we're going to have the old announcing
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: of starting quarterbacks, including one today, you know who's starting,
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: and all that kind of stuff that we we usually
• 22:05

• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Chris, Uh, do you get excited about Week zero? I mean,
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I know, you know there's a few games out there.

• 22:14
  Speaker 3: kind of like, hey, look we'll we'll check it out.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: But next week's next week's to go time.
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, it's just you know, there's just not
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: much there. Sometimes there's you know, a game that's really good,
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: you know what I mean, North Carolina TCU, North Carolina State, Virginia.
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: There's only two, you know, Hawaii Standford. Just just not
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: much there to stick your teeth into. Uh, but yeah,
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: I think you know us see Florida State play as well. Yeah,
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: I mean, we'll see. It's a little taste, I mean
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: I would say that. I don't know, it's not appetizers.
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: Maybe it's some uh it's some chips in saufa. Let's
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: call that. We we gotta we gotta, we gotta waste
• 22:57
  Speaker 9: to go before the real meal. Comes in though.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: No, you're right, no doubt, Chris Landry on your radio
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: talking college and of course we'll get a little NFL
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Chris.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: When you look at of course the AP poll is out,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: it's almost like now we get too too much information
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: and too many polls. I mean, yes, you've got the
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: AP and the coaches that stood as the you know,
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: the main stay forever. I mean a lot of us
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: are old enough to remember before the College Football Playoff,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: before the BCS, you had an AP champion, coaches champion.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Sometimes those would be the same teams. But now you've
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: got a CBS poll an on three pole, you know,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: a U poll, a ME poll at that pole. It
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: feels like we kind of polled out here.
• 23:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and to me it's it's a well, it's much
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: to do about nothing, you know. But yeah, you know
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: a lot of people feel like it has some effect
• 23:47
  Speaker 9: on how people may view teams. And look, I can't
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: say for certain that it doesn't. We know that, you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: the real discussions of how they rank of teams in October.
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: You know, I don't know, maybe there's a little bit
• 24:05
  Speaker 9: of perception of teams being really good, but we really
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: don't know, we know that they're teams that are very
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: talented going in who could be very good. But who's
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: to know that somebody that's you know, automatically top five,
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: top six, you know, I just don't know that that
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: that that's necessarily going to be the case until we
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: start to see him play. We'll know who the best
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: teams are as we go through the course of the season,
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: and it will change through the course of the season.
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: It's going to have a different look. Although I think
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: we'll see some some teams kind of you know, just
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: come to fourth through the course of the year, and
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: maybe they were projected to be really good and they
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: still are at the end of the year. But we
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: just don't know that's the reality of.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: It looking at some of these teams.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: And of course this isn't you know, anything as far
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: as the you know, the the AP is concerned. I mean,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: you know, in reference to the AP, but just kind
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: of looking back at yesterday's reveal of the AP, I
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: just want to talk about some of these teams, and
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: obviously the media feel pretty high on some teams we
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: haven't really talked about. Let's let's go to a couple
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: of these teams. One let's go to Washington and what's
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: going on at at Washington. When we talk about the
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Pack or the Big the Big Ten formerly of the
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Big PAC twelve, the old PAC twelve, Washington is a
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: team we don't talk a whole lot about. I mean,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: obviously they're in the northwest portion of the of the country.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: They've had some success, Uh, not the success that Oregon
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: has had since they've come over. I know Oregon course
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: kind of leads those Pac twelve teams. But when you
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: read a lot of excerpts over the off season, there
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: are some pundits that feel pretty good about this Washington team.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: What do you see them?
• 25:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah, no, I think, Look, it's a really good program.
• 25:53
  Speaker 9: We know they've had moments, you know, even recent ones.
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: Was the biggest reason why Caitlin R. Boorg got the
• 26:01
  Speaker 9: job at at Alabama. But you know they've they've had
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: a lot of success in over their history. Uh. And
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: I just I think they've got one of the better
• 26:12
  Speaker 9: quarterbacks in the Big Ten.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: They just got a very difficult schedule that's going to
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: be the biggest challenge. But but let me say this,
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: if they play well against that schedule, Uh, they're gonna
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: get a lot of notice, So you know, it's just
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: a little disappointing that they got to play the the
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: Apple Cup game in September now, but they they'll they'll
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: win that, I think, and then they will open up,
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: uh with the four wins I think, to beat Minnesota
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: and then they'll get into USC Iowa and then you know,
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: at the end of the year Penn State, Indiana, Oregon,
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: those are in. That Washington Oregon game is very underrated.
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: I think people in our part of the country don't
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: realize what a great rivalry that is. That's a big
• 27:00
  Speaker 9: rivalry game for Washington than it is Washington State. I mean,
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: you know, they they the Oregon. The hate between Washington
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: and Oregon is is big time. So it's a tough schedule,
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: particularly down the stretch, and they're gonna have to play
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: you know, Penn State in November. Then in the end
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: up late November, Indiana and Oregon. They'll earn their way
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: in if they're able to get in.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Visit with Chris Landry talking college football, and it's usually
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: make sure to get him meant Landry football dot com
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Chris uh Michigan under I'm gonna go Michigan in Utah
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: because Michigan obviously now with Kyle Whittingham and as their
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: head coach, talk a little bit about, you know, what
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: he may change and what he could bring for Michigan,
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: and then you know, Utah flips uh, you know, finally
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: out of the you know, it was Dan Mullen and
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: then Kyle Whittingham. For a long time, Utah under a
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: different leadership as well.
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: Well. I think he's been one of the best coaches
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: in the country and has had one of the I
• 27:58
  Speaker 9: think the best developmental program in the country. I mean,
• 28:01
  Speaker 9: I think Iowa under Kurt Farrens would be another. And
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: there's been a couple of more, but but the consistency
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: of how good Utah has been. It's gonna get more
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: difficult for him though, because the conference is more challenging,
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: the schedule weekend and we God is going to be
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: more challenging. But look, the guy, I mean, tell me
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: if this doesn't sound like Michigan. The guy proches good
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: physical defense, good line of scrimmage, play, run the football,
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: just bring your your your lunch pale on defense. I mean,
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: that's Michigan football. Being able to recruit maybe a different
• 28:41
  Speaker 9: level of player that may be you know, and he's
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: doing a pretty good job thus far. But now that's
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: gonna be the key is can they you know, get
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: that maybe that next level player, because what he did
• 28:54
  Speaker 9: at Utah he recruited guys that that they developed him
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: into really good players. But if they were not the
• 29:00
  Speaker 9: elite players, get Oklahoma at home on in September. Then
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: late September they got Iowa and go to Minnesota, but
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: they again got Penn State, Indiana and the you have
• 29:13
  Speaker 9: to go to Oregon, have to go to Ohio State
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: this year. So it's they're more roadblocks than he had
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: at Utah. But he's got more resources and I think
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: better talent than Michigan. I think he's gonna be fine.
• 29:27
  Speaker 9: I think he's gonna be very, very tough and have
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: a lot of success. I just don't know at his
• 29:33
  Speaker 9: age I've known tow forard. I just I was a
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: little bit surprised him doing it. He obviously wanted it,
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: maybe a different challenge. I just don't know that this
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: is you know, this is not He's not gonna be
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: coaching there, you know, seven eight years. I mean, he's
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: this is not going to be a long term situation.
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: Brand Although I mean, what is a long term job
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: in college football? But nobody stays very long. But he's
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: up at an age where you know it's gonna be
• 29:59
  Speaker 9: interesting to see what he can do in the next
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: three years.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Make sure to get him on X and of course
• 30:04

• 31:19
  Speaker 3: dot Com Chris Landry Segment two on a Tuesday. Chris,
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: you know, I kind of laugh, at least at myself,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: and I do that constantly at the top ten in
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: the AP pole. And the reason I laugh about it
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: is it's littered with teams that people I roll. I mean,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: obviously nobody's gonna I roll Ohio State. They won a
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: national title here recently, Georgia, you know, but Oregon to mean,
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: everybody talks, Hey, if this is the year for Orgon,
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: everybody eye rolls, it's the year for Notre Dame. Iroll Texas,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: ie roll Indiana. I don't think there's a lot of
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: eye rolling there. Miami, not as much. Texas A and
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: m I roll Ole Miss Oklahoma. I bring that up
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: because there's some really really good teams in the top ten,
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: top fifteen, top twenty, but just there's we're looking for
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: that next team to prove they belong and when you
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: say belong, that they hoist the trophy.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Be it an Oregon, A Notre Dame.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: But Texas it's been a while, Texas A and m
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss Oklahoma, it's been a while. There's a lot
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: of teams that are spending a lot of money that
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: are looking for that, you know, kind of that mountaintop
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: performance that we have not seen from them.
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, there's no question about it. I mean, so we
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: just take them. I mean, look, we don't know how
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: things are gonna come together. But let's take Notre Dame
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: loaded on defense. They got a really good quarterback. Did
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: they have enough playmakers to win that type of game?
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: We'll see. They certainly deserve to be mentioned among the
• 32:41
  Speaker 9: very best. I don't know that they mean that means
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: that they end up winning at all. We know that
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: Texas is really good, you know. You know, they had
• 32:54
  Speaker 9: a developing, younger quarterback with an in offensive line. Now
• 32:59
  Speaker 9: they're better, They've got great the special teams. Uh, they
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: get their toughest games at home. I think it's fair
• 33:07
  Speaker 9: to question whether they can get it all done. But
• 33:10
  Speaker 9: I mean, if you think about it, it's I mean,
• 33:13
  Speaker 9: if you don't make it to the championship game or
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: win it, they're gonna say, oh, well, well you can
• 33:19
  Speaker 9: name five of these teams. I mean even pretty much
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: not only two of them are going to get to
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: the championship games. So it's probably gonna be eye rolls again.
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: But the reality is. I think Notre Dame is good.
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: I think Texas is good. I don't know that that
• 33:34
  Speaker 9: I'm ready to put A and M in or Old
• 33:37
  Speaker 9: Miss in the category. Uh in Oregon. You know, Oregon
• 33:41
  Speaker 9: is is every bit as good as capable of getting there.
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: But I don't know that I would put A and
• 33:47
  Speaker 9: M or Old Miss quite in that category. But there's
• 33:49
  Speaker 9: certainly a team, two teams that can maybe make the playoffs.
• 33:52
  Speaker 9: And as we kind of found out last year, you
• 33:55
  Speaker 9: never know. Ole Miss has the look, they've got the
• 33:58
  Speaker 9: quarterback that they get it in the playoffs last year
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: that I think they were as good as Georgia. No,
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: and quite frankly, without spectacular play by the quarterback, they
• 34:10
  Speaker 9: don't win that game. But they do have that, and
• 34:13
  Speaker 9: if they get in, nobody want to play them. And
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: maybe that could happen too with A and M. With
• 34:19
  Speaker 9: if Reid steps up and makes big time plays, because
• 34:23
  Speaker 9: I think that's gonna be a really good defense. So yeah,
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: it will be fun to see it. Look, I mean,
• 34:28
  Speaker 9: Texas Tech kind of made their way there and they're
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: gonna be good again, although BYU is gonna be good.
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: So I think what's gonna happen is is you're gonna
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: have teams. Maybe let's use Texas Tech as an example.
• 34:41
  Speaker 9: Maybe it's a BYU, maybe it's an SMU, somebody that's
• 34:46
  Speaker 9: gonna get into the playoffs and maybe do pretty well
• 34:50
  Speaker 9: in there, or maybe win a game like Ole Miss
• 34:53
  Speaker 9: did last year beating Georgia, and all of a sudden,
• 34:56
  Speaker 9: there's gonna be a different profile in the eyes of fans. Hey,
• 35:02
  Speaker 9: look out, they're really good. And then but the big
• 35:05
  Speaker 9: time boys when they were gonna win at all and
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: all this kind of talk that they don't do it,
• 35:10
  Speaker 9: people are gonna always question until they do.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Chris Let's move over to the NFL. Obviously, preseason is
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: going on.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: What's some of the storylines or teams maybe or players
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: that's kind of stuck out to you here in the
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: early going. You know, obviously it is preseason. We take
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: out of the context. But we've seen, you know, Fernando
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: men does it with a pretty nice performance. Carson Beck
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: has played fairly well when he's been available, Tya Simpson
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: in some in some makeup time as well, just kind
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: of some things. You kind of been pleasantly surprised within
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: the NFL.
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I don't know about surprise, but man,
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: I just I love the Jeremiah love and what he's
• 35:45
  Speaker 9: doing thus for. And I know he's banged up a
• 35:47
  Speaker 9: little bit, but he's looked really good.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 35:51
  Speaker 9: I think, you know, we're all kind of wondering if
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: Aaron Downald, I think he's gonna come back, it's gonna
• 35:56
  Speaker 9: put you know, the Rams in that position. I here's
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: what jumps out to me. I'm there's in no order.
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: How good will Buffalo be? Will their defense be good enough?
• 36:07
  Speaker 9: That the awful? If Josh Allen doesn't win the issue,
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: what does it mean? Uh, It'll mean that the defense
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: is not good enough. And you know, so that's gonna
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: be key there. And then I'm curious to see can
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: the Bengals do enough on defense. I'm curious to see
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: what's gonna happen at quarterbacks of Cleveland. Is Deshaun Watson
• 36:30
  Speaker 9: maybe gonna win that job? You know? I think Denver
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: is you could absolutely make them the favorite in the West.
• 36:41
  Speaker 9: I don't necessarily think it's Kansas City anymore. I think
• 36:44
  Speaker 9: Denver is that good. But you know what, Kansas City,
• 36:48
  Speaker 9: with their quarterback as good as Mahomes is, could he overtaken,
• 36:53
  Speaker 9: and then what about the charges? Then the NFC, it's like, hey,
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: you know, Dallas has made some intriguing moves. What about
• 36:59
  Speaker 9: their death? How much better will Washington get with the
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: Jaden Daniels back healthy? And then you know, a lot
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: of pressure is gonna be on Nick Sirianni and Jalen
• 37:11
  Speaker 9: Hurts and Philadelphia. Who's gonna win the South? I mean,
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna tell you I I can flip one through
• 37:19
  Speaker 9: four in the NFC South and flip four with one,
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: and I wouldn't flip an eigh lights. I mean, I
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: don't know, you know, we we're You're in and I
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: are in Saints Country. They can finish first, they can
• 37:31
  Speaker 9: finish fourth. I don't think there's much separating them. And
• 37:34
  Speaker 9: then I just really intrigued by the North. Can the
• 37:36
  Speaker 9: Bears make that jump? Is that Green Bay is at Detroit?
• 37:41
  Speaker 10: Uh?
• 37:41
  Speaker 9: And and then the West? To me, it's just that's
• 37:44
  Speaker 9: gonna be a dogfight. I mean, the Rams look so good,
• 37:47
  Speaker 9: but let's just remind everybody how good Seattle is and
• 37:50
  Speaker 9: will be again. It's gonna be a lot of fun,
• 37:53
  Speaker 9: but a lot of question marks. I kill everybody, Sit back, Uh,
• 37:58
  Speaker 9: you know, enjoy the first four five regular season games.
• 38:05
  Speaker 9: Then you start to see things settle in a little bit.
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: You start to see who's pretty good, and then quite frankly,
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: it's gonna be that that middle part that game six
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: through like Thanksgiving weekend, and that's when you start to
• 38:19
  Speaker 9: see who kind of settles in and the real teams
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: to beat. And then then you got to have some love.
• 38:25
  Speaker 9: From a health standpoint, I see I see seasons get
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: derilled all the time. Some things given time.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Chris Landry on your radio, talking football, get him a
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Landry Football dot Com.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: Chris, we got about two minutes left.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: I'm seeing some more injuries are small, slight ones on
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: in San Francisco, Chris. There's all the jokes about nuclear
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: power plants and things going on. Chris, what is going
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: on in San Francisco? Sounds like they do have more
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: injuries anybody.
• 38:50
  Speaker 9: I don't know. And thing injuries. We always studied injuries.
• 38:57
  Speaker 9: We always wondered if we're doing the right things from
• 38:59
  Speaker 9: a ditioning standpoint, or we we're doing enough in the
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: off season or too much. But some of the injuries,
• 39:07
  Speaker 9: it really depends on the injury. If you have a
• 39:09
  Speaker 9: lot of poles and things like that that may be applicable,
• 39:12
  Speaker 9: but man, some of the stuff is just we call
• 39:15
  Speaker 9: them buzzer's luck. I mean it's just you just wonder
• 39:18
  Speaker 9: what's circling over there. It's a problem. I mean even
• 39:20
  Speaker 9: the head coach can't stay out of the injury fact.
• 39:23
  Speaker 9: I mean, it's it's and it's it's been. It's been
• 39:27
  Speaker 9: happening now for for a couple of years. And Ben's
• 39:30
  Speaker 9: over there crying in his tears. Hit listen to them.
• 39:36
  Speaker 9: It's at them. It's not funny, but I mean it's
• 39:38
  Speaker 9: just like three years, it just they were the team
• 39:42
  Speaker 9: and then they just injuries got them. Injuries got them,
• 39:45
  Speaker 9: and now you look at them and you think, Okay,
• 39:48
  Speaker 9: are they gonna Can the partners catch them? Can can
• 39:52
  Speaker 9: they stay? I still think they're gonna be a contender
• 39:55
  Speaker 9: for the playoffs, but they're looking up at Seattle and
• 39:58
  Speaker 9: the Rams at least the startcy.
