  Speaker 2: We're back at it on a Tuesday with Jim Mora,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Mike Chrispino. The Huskies one on one headed to Delaware.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Should be interesting. Thirty thousand seats will be jammed full.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: They're in the FBS world now down there, the Blue
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Hens and the Huskies will make a visit. They'll go
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: on the road again, back to back and the coach
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: the road thing. It's different, right, It's not as comfortable.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: You got all the travel, you got to get into
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: a hotel, you got your meeting rooms.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It's a little more complex, I think.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: It is here, right, Yeah, But we try to stick
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: to the routine as much as we can, and we
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: have a certain travel routine as well. And once you know,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: our guys learned that, we try to make it as
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: seamless as possible. You know, the people on our staff
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: and Justin Morrow and Taylor Riddick and Daniel Mohitade Mohika,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: they do an amazing job working with the hotels and
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the airlines to make it a seamles as possible.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: And at the end of the day, it's not something.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: You really talk about with your team, you know, What
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: matters is what happens between the white lines and all
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: the rest of us just noise and distractions.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: One thing that impressed me we were up in Syracuse
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: for the weekend the game Saturday. You have all these transfers,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: guys that are you know, with Yukon for the first
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: time on the road, for the first time with their teammates.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: It was so organized.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I'm, as you know, eavesdropping on some of some of
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the conversations. The guys are all talking football. Yeah, Ramelo
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Murphy's going to be on the show with us shortly
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and ty Chan two guys that came from other places.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, getting that cohesion going in the chemistry going
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and then putting it on the road.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: That's pretty important, isn't it.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: It's critically important. And Mike, we actually practice that stuff.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: And I know that sounds really silly maybe to some,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: but we practice it. You know, we went during training
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: camp and we spent a night at the at the
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: downtown hotel we stay at the night before games and
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: took them through a night before game routine. We also
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: did it here at our facility. And you know, I
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: don't think you any want to You don't want to
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: ever take anything for granted. And you don't want the
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: first time that they spend the night before a game
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: at the hotel and go through all the meeting process.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: You don't want that to be before the first game.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: So we've we've done it obviously, as you mentioned, a
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: little different on the road because of the flight, but
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: after the flight. Really it's just, you know, it's just
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: a routine that we've developed that we believe in, and
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: uh it's too you know, designed to get us to
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: kick off in the right mindset.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very few wasted minutes on the road. When pressed
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: me is there was? I think we got in there.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe an hour later, guys are doing
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: run throughs in the parking.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Lot outside the hotel and I'm like, wow, they.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Got their little playbooks and uh so no wasted minutes.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I guess that's kind of what you want when you
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: got to you got to kill you know, half a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: day before you actually play it again.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: It's just about maximizing every moment to get yourself mentally
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: and physically prepared to play that game. And you know
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: you mentioned the walkthroughs. It's you know, you don't want
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to ever take for granted that you're prepared. You know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: the Hayes never in the barn, as they say, people
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: say the Hayes in the barn.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: For us, the Hayes never in the barn.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: And so it's just maximizing our opportunities to get ourselves
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: ready to play. Our players are mature, they understand that
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: and they do a really great job of focusing in
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: and maximizing those those those times that we have to
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: be together and get better.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Jim more will us you can football coach On Mike Crispino,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I'm so much positive to talk about in the road
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: game against the Orange, except the final result that felt like,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: and I said it on the ear, you con won
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: that game for fifty five minutes.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: They just didn't win the last five, six, seven minutes.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Now you probably have a different view of that, but
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I'm curious what you think.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: I kind of think the way you think.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: And that's but always, you know, it comes down to
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the end, being able to perform as a program, as
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: a as a team at the end. And you know
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: you've seen it. You saw it Sunday night with the
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Bills and and the Ravens, and you saw it last
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: night with the the Bears and the Vikings. It's in
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: those crucial moments. It's all of us being at our
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: best and not panicking and not stepping outside the boundaries
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: of what we're what we're supposed to do on a
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: particular play. And unfortunately, that's simply what happened on on Saturday.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Is Uh, at critical moments, we did not perform the
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: way we had previously in that game and stepped a
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: little bit outside of the confines of our job, and
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: it really cost us.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: And when I say we, I mean all.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Of us, I mean me, I mean everybody that you
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: know besides you, really that was on that play. We
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: all we call we all have to own it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: We don't point fingers around here. We try to figure
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: out solutions and we try to apply lessons learned going forward.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: And Uh, I like the makeup of this team, Mike,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: It's a mature group.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: And I liked the I.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Didn't like the loss, obviously, it was a devastating loss,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: but I like the way they responded.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: The the tough part about any you know, sporting event,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: is someone's got to lose. Someone wins, someone loses. You
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: don't want to be on the down side.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Of it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: But there you are so fifty win and fifty lose,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: and you want to have fifty percent of win, you know,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: And it's uh.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: And then the other thing is.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: You don't ever want to rationalize it by, you know, saying,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: well there's this factor, that factor, this happened or that happened.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: You got to hit it head on, man, you got
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: to own it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: And I feel like we have a group of guys
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: that that they don't point fingers unless they're pointed at themselves,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: and they don't rationalize and make excuses.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: They responsibility.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: And when you're working with people like that, whether it's
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: coaches or staff, or it's players, and especially our players
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: are that way, it's uh. It always gives you a
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: feeling of hope. And then it's you know, having that
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: resolve and determination and never let it happen again.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: That's so important.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of cliches and
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: sports that one about you got to play sixty minutes,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: you got to play till there's nothing but zero's on
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: that time clock on the scoreboard.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I mean that really applied to that game, didn't it.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, like I get and I'm not taking exception
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: with what you're saying, because I think you're absolutely right.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: It's we played hard like guys, played their butts off
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: and competed like crazy. It was, and it sounds so simple,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: but it was doing our job at the always consistently,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: you know, even in crunch time, just not stepping outside
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the boundaries of what each of us are supposed to
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: do and making the ordinary plays that you're supposed to make,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: or being where you're supposed to be, or getting the
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: call in the way it's supposed to get called. You know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about as a staff, putting our players in
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: good positions to make plays. And that's where we got hurt.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Because we played well, we played hard, We didn't ease up,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: we kept doing what we'd been doing. We made adjustments
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: as we went along. But at the end when we
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: had to come up with the routine play, we stepped
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: out of character. And that's why we lost.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Jim Morris with us. We will back in just a second.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: We got to time out, we got to hear from
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: our commercial sponsors.
