  Getting ready for the Husky reload. Get your Ukon football season tickets, three
• 0:04
  game mini plans, single game tickets, and road game tickets all available at
• 0:08
  ukon tickets dot com. Ukon plays at Boston College this year. I want
• 0:11
  to see a bunch of Yukon people in that stadium. That would be nice.
• 0:17
  You know what I'm thinking about this first game. I don't even know
• 0:20
  who we play after that. I mean, I know it's but it's just
• 0:23
  like my mind operates one brigging day at a time, and that's good.
• 0:29
  I think about, Well, you had to think about kickers. You had
• 0:32
  a guy step in last year when Joe McFadden got hurt No Way Rules,
• 0:36
  and the dude did a great job for us, and he comes back and
• 0:39
  now he's got a fight for his job again. Tell us about that.
• 0:42
  Well, I mean, you know, it's a luxury to have, you
• 0:44
  know, Joe McFadden and No Way Rules. I mean, I don't think
• 0:48
  there's a lot of teams in college football to have two kickers of the quality
• 0:51
  that we have. And I don't think that's an overstatement at all, an
• 0:55
  exaggeration. They're both really good, good players, and you know, Joe
• 0:59
  Joe will be our primary kicker and our primary kickoff guy. But if you
• 1:03
  know, if something happens, if you know, God forbid, you know
• 1:06
  something happens to Joe, you got noy who's experienced a heck of a job
• 1:10
  for this last year. Our team has tremendous confidence in him. Maybe we'll
• 1:14
  put two kickers in for something. I don't know, we'll come up with
• 1:17
  something. You know, we'll use those guys, But it's it's a heck
• 1:19
  of a deal to have two men like that on our team. Let's get
• 1:23
  personal here for a minute. We only have a minute left, so we're
• 1:25
  going to keep it short. You as a player, were you nervous before
• 1:30
  the week before games? And the difference now you're the coach, Are you
• 1:34
  nervous before that first one? I'm not nervous yet, No, because I
• 1:40
  think that we've done a good job of preparing and we've got a lot of
• 1:42
  preparation left to do a lot of preparation. But I'll be nervous before the
• 1:49
  game, and then there's points in the game that you know, your nerves
• 1:53
  flare up. I think that that's natural. I think it, you know,
• 1:57
  it has a little anxiety and little nerves. You know, it means
• 2:00
  you care and typically you know, for me at least, it means you're
• 2:04
  ready to go. And uh, you know, I don't think the nerves
• 2:07
  ever go. If you're a competitor, you know you want to you want
• 2:09
  to win. I mean, we're in this to win, and there's so
• 2:12
  many things that can happen during a game that that affect your ability to win
• 2:15
  or you know, lose, and uh, you know, you got to
• 2:19
  be on top of it all the time. Do you know what you're going
• 2:22
  to say in the locker room before the game? I don't. I must
• 2:24
  speak from the heart kind of guy. And our players know that about me,
• 2:29
  and uh, it comes to me when it comes to me. And
• 2:31
  I think that's one of the reasons that you know, I hope they trust
• 2:36
  me, is that I'm not gonna be essome. I tell them what I
• 2:38
  think, and it's it's uh, it's pretty pretty uh organic, and you
• 2:44
  know, whatever I'm feeling, that's what I say. Oh, we've run
• 2:47
  out the time. You can't say anymore or not. That's usually rate it
• 2:51
  R or yeah, I know, well this is this is not an R
• 2:53
  rated show. But we appreciate you coming on and keeping it not all right,
• 3:00
  my pleasure, all right, thanks to Jim Mourra. Always a pleasure
• 3:04
  to visit. We will do it on Tuesday's starting September fifth, when the
• 3:07
  Huskies get into the season. Full boar, but you've got to be there
• 3:10
  Thursday, a week from tonight, no week from yet. Last night seven
• 3:15
  thirty kickoff, but let's get in there before the kickoff. Yeah, you
• 3:19
  know what. It means so much to our players when they can run out
• 3:22
  of the tunnel and fee the energy of the crowd and people are in there
• 3:25
  like man, we can't wait to see the ball kicked off, and it
• 3:29
  just means so much to our guys. All right. Thanks to Jim Moura,
• 3:31
  and thanks to you for joining us on the Yukon Football Coaches Show.
