1
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,390
The following presentation is brought
to you by the pride of ODU, the official

2
00:00:08,390 --> 00:00:10,880
NIL collective of Old Dominion Athletics.

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:12,310
Be a Monarchist.

4
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:23,539
Join the pride.

5
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:28,060
Monarch Nation.

6
00:00:28,090 --> 00:00:31,620
We are back to talk about
Old Dominion's trip to Boone.

7
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,330
Uh, Old Dominion loses 28 to 20.

8
00:00:34,990 --> 00:00:36,620
But there's a lot more to the story.

9
00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:42,450
Uh, but first we, uh, I got to greet
you, Gary, but I also, we have some

10
00:00:42,450 --> 00:00:44,040
special guests joining us today.

11
00:00:45,010 --> 00:00:50,000
First up, uh, old dominion hall of famer
and former football player, Jonathan

12
00:00:50,010 --> 00:00:56,399
Plisco, and former ODU kicker and likely
future hall of famer, Jarod Brown.

13
00:00:57,459 --> 00:00:59,079
Let's add them to the stage.

14
00:00:59,929 --> 00:01:00,939
How y'all doing fellas?

15
00:01:01,919 --> 00:01:02,619
Doing great.

16
00:01:02,679 --> 00:01:03,119
What's going on?

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,330
Glad to be back.

18
00:01:06,410 --> 00:01:09,410
Yeah, thanks for that intro too,
because I'm hoping, but you never know.

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,529
I mean, you still got the longest
kick in ODU history, right?

20
00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:18,199
You have the most points
in ODU history, right?

21
00:01:19,690 --> 00:01:23,020
And it'll likely never be touched
because we'll never have another

22
00:01:23,070 --> 00:01:24,960
Taylor Heinicke at the school.

23
00:01:24,990 --> 00:01:27,509
We're never going to kick 73
extra points in a season again.

24
00:01:27,509 --> 00:01:28,310
Is that what you're saying?

25
00:01:30,009 --> 00:01:30,609
unlikely.

26
00:01:31,150 --> 00:01:32,229
No, I agree.

27
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,009
Even all that.

28
00:01:33,060 --> 00:01:36,150
I mean, I think it's pretty safe to
say you should be a Hall of Famer.

29
00:01:36,910 --> 00:01:37,910
Uh, eventually.

30
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:39,379
Well, thank you.

31
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,259
Hey, don't forget that that isn't tracked.

32
00:01:42,539 --> 00:01:44,160
Probably most onside kicks.

33
00:01:44,969 --> 00:01:48,429
Uh, we had quite a few every
year coming out of jail.

34
00:01:48,549 --> 00:01:51,100
So best defense was an onside kick.

35
00:01:52,919 --> 00:01:53,609
Absolutely.

36
00:01:53,789 --> 00:01:54,250
Definitely.

37
00:01:54,309 --> 00:01:54,649
All right.

38
00:01:55,039 --> 00:01:57,494
So We went down to Boone.

39
00:01:57,784 --> 00:02:00,794
Uh, everyone thought, I mean,
this is the, this is our chance

40
00:02:00,794 --> 00:02:02,094
to take control of this division.

41
00:02:02,874 --> 00:02:07,204
Um, it didn't happen for us, but,
um, I don't know where to start.

42
00:02:07,224 --> 00:02:08,324
Where do you want to start Gary?

43
00:02:09,405 --> 00:02:13,084
Well, first I'll say I feel guilty
because I did not go down to Boone,

44
00:02:13,094 --> 00:02:14,515
was not able to go this weekend.

45
00:02:14,864 --> 00:02:17,415
So that snaps the, uh,
the streak we had going.

46
00:02:17,415 --> 00:02:19,325
If I did the post game presser, they won.

47
00:02:19,674 --> 00:02:23,214
So we'll, we'll get that back going again
with JMU and Marshall and then, you know,

48
00:02:24,085 --> 00:02:27,185
I'll figure something out for Jonesboro,
Arkansas at the end of the year.

49
00:02:27,235 --> 00:02:33,395
But I think, I mean, we can look at this
game and probably say we should have won.

50
00:02:33,515 --> 00:02:34,944
We were the better team on the field.

51
00:02:34,945 --> 00:02:36,885
I think you just look at the box score.

52
00:02:36,885 --> 00:02:37,635
We won that game.

53
00:02:37,635 --> 00:02:42,044
But turnovers, sacks, just little
bits of execution down there

54
00:02:42,044 --> 00:02:43,635
at the end cost us this one.

55
00:02:44,045 --> 00:02:45,495
It stinks, but it could have been worse.

56
00:02:47,515 --> 00:02:49,005
Yeah, that second half.

57
00:02:49,115 --> 00:02:52,225
I mean, scoring three points
in the entire second half.

58
00:02:53,405 --> 00:02:54,825
I mean, that's kind of the story.

59
00:02:54,995 --> 00:02:56,905
We had control of this
game in the second quarter.

60
00:02:57,845 --> 00:03:03,845
Uh, we're up 17 7 at one point
and final score is 28 20.

61
00:03:05,375 --> 00:03:07,154
Um, kind of tells the story.

62
00:03:07,685 --> 00:03:09,885
Offense was extremely effective yesterday.

63
00:03:10,274 --> 00:03:12,565
Isiah Paige deserves all the kudos.

64
00:03:13,555 --> 00:03:16,535
Uh, that was the most impressive
water steerer performance I've

65
00:03:16,535 --> 00:03:18,445
seen at ODU in a very long time.

66
00:03:19,204 --> 00:03:19,875
He was a workhorse.

67
00:03:21,295 --> 00:03:22,755
We had some good ones, but maybe ever.

68
00:03:22,755 --> 00:03:23,415
That was insane.

69
00:03:24,565 --> 00:03:28,945
Yeah, he tied the record for receptions
in a game, um, briefly held by Ali

70
00:03:28,945 --> 00:03:31,355
Jennings, both with 16 catches.

71
00:03:32,204 --> 00:03:36,614
So, um, who was that
against for all either?

72
00:03:37,804 --> 00:03:38,954
There's against Western Kentucky.

73
00:03:39,874 --> 00:03:45,385
So both competitive, both good teams,
they played against the 250, 205 yards.

74
00:03:45,635 --> 00:03:49,144
Um, just seemed like whenever
we need to play yesterday,

75
00:03:49,174 --> 00:03:50,404
he was out there to make it.

76
00:03:53,045 --> 00:03:54,685
And yeah, we call his number.

77
00:03:54,685 --> 00:03:57,269
He'd, uh, He'd step up, make a play.

78
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,590
Uh, it was definitely, uh, exciting to
see and obviously didn't get the result

79
00:04:01,590 --> 00:04:06,180
we wanted, but it was, uh, impressive
performance, especially in the first half.

80
00:04:07,620 --> 00:04:09,900
They were moving him around on
the field quite a good bit too.

81
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:13,290
I know early on he was kind of on
the outside getting those, those

82
00:04:13,290 --> 00:04:15,179
quick hitters, the bubble screens.

83
00:04:15,359 --> 00:04:16,799
He was able to get past a few.

84
00:04:17,010 --> 00:04:19,500
I think there was some really good
blocking from the wide receivers and

85
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:23,190
from Pat Conroy in front of him just to
give him a little bit of space because.

86
00:04:23,695 --> 00:04:25,115
I mean, that dude is quick.

87
00:04:25,145 --> 00:04:27,815
We've been watching him be quick
for, for quite a while now.

88
00:04:28,175 --> 00:04:31,755
Uh, but to see him get just the tiniest
bit of separation and break some big ones

89
00:04:31,755 --> 00:04:35,255
for us and then come out of the slot over
the middle, a couple of times as well,

90
00:04:35,255 --> 00:04:39,204
we hadn't seen him do that in a couple
of games, but just overall awesome game

91
00:04:39,204 --> 00:04:43,205
for page glad to see him get some flowers
against someone who's been a thorn in

92
00:04:43,205 --> 00:04:44,775
his side for the most part in his career.

93
00:04:46,345 --> 00:04:50,195
Now, uh, I've seen a lot of
criticisms levied on the defense for

94
00:04:50,195 --> 00:04:51,535
not getting off the field enough.

95
00:04:52,255 --> 00:04:56,979
Um, But I think the credit really
should go towards Joey Aguilar.

96
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,010
That was one of the most impressive
performances I've seen in the

97
00:05:01,010 --> 00:05:02,409
Sun Belt since we've joined.

98
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:09,029
Um, he either was killing us with his
feet or he was making throws that were,

99
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,089
could only be caught by the receiver.

100
00:05:12,429 --> 00:05:16,359
Like coverage was amazing, didn't
matter, right in the basket.

101
00:05:16,775 --> 00:05:18,725
Just throwing dots all night long.

102
00:05:19,455 --> 00:05:22,475
Uh, so we got to have to give
credit to how well Joey Aguilar

103
00:05:22,475 --> 00:05:23,735
and his receivers played yesterday.

104
00:05:23,735 --> 00:05:24,705
Cause they were phenomenal.

105
00:05:26,875 --> 00:05:30,415
He only completed 13 passes
and four were for touchdowns.

106
00:05:30,675 --> 00:05:32,335
It's not, not bad for efficiency there.

107
00:05:35,104 --> 00:05:37,235
Yeah, I would like this.

108
00:05:37,875 --> 00:05:42,465
Uh, they, they definitely showed
up, made the big plays on a matter.

109
00:05:42,615 --> 00:05:44,885
And as you mentioned,
how you are, are just.

110
00:05:45,635 --> 00:05:50,295
Yeah, his stat line isn't super
impressive, but the faking, uh,

111
00:05:50,295 --> 00:05:53,825
I mean, just tremendous throws
there when he needed them.

112
00:05:56,655 --> 00:05:57,025
Yeah.

113
00:05:57,065 --> 00:05:57,585
Um,

114
00:05:59,765 --> 00:06:00,155
I don't know.

115
00:06:00,954 --> 00:06:03,634
I need to give shout out
to all of the ODE fans.

116
00:06:03,655 --> 00:06:06,975
So we, we, we unveiled the monarch
a few weeks ago, early in the

117
00:06:06,975 --> 00:06:11,345
season, the collaboration beer
with afterglow and the pride of ODU

118
00:06:12,305 --> 00:06:13,935
sold out of the kegs very quickly.

119
00:06:13,975 --> 00:06:14,635
Thanks to.

120
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:21,110
Great ODU fans like Jarod and Jonathan
But the cans are officially sold out.

121
00:06:22,180 --> 00:06:23,700
So we've sold out all of it.

122
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:28,770
They have to make a new batch Because of
how awesome ODU fans are so thank you to

123
00:06:28,770 --> 00:06:34,459
everyone that pitched in and bought the
beer it's much appreciated and We're gonna

124
00:06:34,459 --> 00:06:37,649
make more and the t shirt is in the works.

125
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:42,180
So good things are happening there
But let's get back to this game.

126
00:06:43,250 --> 00:06:45,640
Uh, Colton, Joseph, freshman.

127
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,310
Pretty phenomenal yesterday.

128
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,920
Um, despite the turnovers, um, just

129
00:06:54,190 --> 00:06:59,650
332 yards passing career high,
27 completions, career high,

130
00:07:00,530 --> 00:07:02,310
uh, 65 yards on the ground.

131
00:07:02,430 --> 00:07:09,170
Um, he is showing us, it's kind of
why I'm kind of conflicted talking

132
00:07:09,180 --> 00:07:11,740
about this game because Losing sucks.

133
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:16,520
It's disappointing that we
couldn't hold and control this

134
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,510
division race going forward.

135
00:07:19,260 --> 00:07:22,870
But his play is just giving us hope.

136
00:07:23,239 --> 00:07:27,529
And now we know that any given week we
should win or we should have a chance

137
00:07:27,530 --> 00:07:30,480
to win because we have a quarterback
that's put us in that position.

138
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:37,610
And it's really nice to have that after
all these years of kind of going through

139
00:07:37,620 --> 00:07:39,350
back and forth to all these quarterbacks.

140
00:07:39,350 --> 00:07:40,369
They just weren't the answer.

141
00:07:41,620 --> 00:07:47,010
Yeah, I'll, uh, I was waiting
to kind of hop on on that one.

142
00:07:47,010 --> 00:07:49,599
Uh, I think my internet's
being a little funny here, but

143
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,880
yeah, the it sucks to lose.

144
00:07:53,460 --> 00:07:56,289
Uh, but it was a hard fought game.

145
00:07:56,299 --> 00:07:57,329
You look at the stat line.

146
00:07:57,329 --> 00:07:58,049
We should have won.

147
00:07:58,530 --> 00:08:02,740
App State had those key plays,
had more key plays than we did.

148
00:08:02,740 --> 00:08:03,479
We lost the game.

149
00:08:04,109 --> 00:08:06,775
But the fact that We have an offense.

150
00:08:06,815 --> 00:08:11,375
I mean, you look at all facets of the
offense, whether it was a read option,

151
00:08:11,655 --> 00:08:16,395
uh, power running this, this bubble
screens, deep passing, like we have

152
00:08:16,395 --> 00:08:21,194
all those options available, uh, which,
you know, for the past couple of years,

153
00:08:21,225 --> 00:08:23,895
we've been a little, uh, not as dynamic.

154
00:08:23,944 --> 00:08:25,955
So we have that capability to hit a team.

155
00:08:26,565 --> 00:08:28,525
However, we need to to win the game.

156
00:08:28,745 --> 00:08:33,105
Obviously we didn't, uh, but just to
have that, that potential there, uh,

157
00:08:33,115 --> 00:08:34,405
it's, it's really exciting again.

158
00:08:34,685 --> 00:08:40,784
Uh, never want to see a loss, uh, on the
schedule, but, uh, just to see how we came

159
00:08:40,784 --> 00:08:44,855
out on offense and, and, you know, even
defense, sure they, they put 28 on us,

160
00:08:44,895 --> 00:08:49,065
but considering the sacks, considering
the turnovers, we had the positions

161
00:08:49,065 --> 00:08:53,105
they were put in, uh, again, they've
continued to show up as they needed to.

162
00:08:53,490 --> 00:08:56,660
And it's hard when Aguilar is
dropping that ball and where

163
00:08:56,660 --> 00:08:57,690
they can't do anything about it.

164
00:08:57,870 --> 00:08:58,210
Right.

165
00:08:58,590 --> 00:09:03,620
Uh, I mean, it was competitive game,
uh, definitely disappointing to take

166
00:09:03,620 --> 00:09:08,740
the loss, but you know, that point we're
fighting, it's great to see it's, it's

167
00:09:08,740 --> 00:09:12,529
very exciting, but, uh, you know, I'm
excited for the rest of the season.

168
00:09:12,530 --> 00:09:13,360
See what the boys can do.

169
00:09:16,610 --> 00:09:20,940
I felt a little better about this game
until the fourth quarter of Georgia

170
00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:23,230
Southern and South Alabama last night.

171
00:09:23,935 --> 00:09:26,955
Because I was thinking, all right,
if Georgia Southern loses, we

172
00:09:26,955 --> 00:09:28,445
still control our own destiny.

173
00:09:28,455 --> 00:09:30,965
We went our last three, we went
in the East, we're in the Sunbelt

174
00:09:30,965 --> 00:09:34,854
championship game, and then the Eagles
put up 20 straight points in the

175
00:09:34,855 --> 00:09:36,664
fourth quarter to beat South Alabama.

176
00:09:36,665 --> 00:09:41,224
And they've got Troy coastal and app
state is the last three on their schedule.

177
00:09:41,224 --> 00:09:43,235
We need them to lose because
we have the tiebreaker.

178
00:09:43,775 --> 00:09:47,355
Um, so it, it stings more
than I was hoping it would.

179
00:09:47,980 --> 00:09:52,790
But we still have the ability to go beat
JMU, beat Marshall, beat Arkansas State.

180
00:09:52,890 --> 00:09:55,730
And then we just need Georgia
Southern to slip once.

181
00:09:56,050 --> 00:09:57,690
So it's like, not all hope is lost.

182
00:09:57,690 --> 00:09:59,510
I mean, we outgained
them, we out everything.

183
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,370
Just gotta tidy up that little
execution piece, and it's a

184
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:04,980
perfect time for a bye week.

185
00:10:06,949 --> 00:10:07,989
Yeah, I agree with all of it.

186
00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:15,400
I think that, uh, In any sports situation,
but football and specifically 120 guys

187
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,480
on the other team in college football
are preparing just like we're preparing,

188
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,370
they're, they're doing all the things
that we're doing every single week.

189
00:10:21,650 --> 00:10:25,510
And when they come out and make
those big plays, that's their job.

190
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,720
That's what they're supposed to do.

191
00:10:26,789 --> 00:10:30,699
So I don't feel as bad this time
when we lose, because they did their

192
00:10:30,699 --> 00:10:32,629
job a couple more times than we did.

193
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,850
We played really well, we did our job
most of the game, and then those little

194
00:10:36,850 --> 00:10:42,060
plays, they happen, and it's really
tough to, to say, oh, we, we could have

195
00:10:42,060 --> 00:10:45,480
won here, we could have won there, we
should have done this better, because

196
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:48,989
they're doing the exact same things
that we're doing, and it was a really

197
00:10:48,989 --> 00:10:52,700
good game, it was a hard fought game,
and we could have won it, we probably

198
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:54,000
should have won it, like we've said.

199
00:10:55,170 --> 00:10:56,370
It didn't happen this time.

200
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,230
It sucks that it happens to app state.

201
00:10:58,230 --> 00:11:01,170
Cause at app state, it just feels like
it always just doesn't go our way.

202
00:11:01,170 --> 00:11:02,520
I mean, it doesn't, we haven't won there.

203
00:11:02,940 --> 00:11:05,759
Um, but I think it was a good game.

204
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,040
I'm not devastated that we lost.

205
00:11:08,050 --> 00:11:12,679
I still think like you said, Gary, we,
we, uh, we control the last three games.

206
00:11:12,749 --> 00:11:14,040
We got to win all three of them.

207
00:11:14,070 --> 00:11:15,420
We control our own destiny in that.

208
00:11:16,084 --> 00:11:18,525
And then I don't think Georgia
Southern is going to do it.

209
00:11:18,605 --> 00:11:19,245
Let's be honest.

210
00:11:19,245 --> 00:11:21,665
I don't think Georgia Southern
is going to win all three games.

211
00:11:22,035 --> 00:11:23,275
That's just the optimist in me.

212
00:11:23,275 --> 00:11:26,465
That's the ODU fan in me, but I
don't think they're going to do it.

213
00:11:26,475 --> 00:11:29,815
So I think if we win the last three,
then, you know, we'll be there.

214
00:11:31,564 --> 00:11:34,784
I think we had to be just
become app state fans.

215
00:11:34,795 --> 00:11:38,954
The rest of the season, seriously,
they're out of the race.

216
00:11:39,224 --> 00:11:42,995
If they just go and knock off the teams
on their schedule, we're looking better.

217
00:11:45,035 --> 00:11:47,845
And they played Georgia Southern in
the last week of the season, right?

218
00:11:48,195 --> 00:11:48,825
Yes, they do.

219
00:11:48,825 --> 00:11:51,445
And Coastal, I mean, this
Coastal is a tough team.

220
00:11:51,875 --> 00:11:54,885
You know, they're not, they're not going
to be a slouch for Georgia Southern.

221
00:11:54,885 --> 00:11:56,315
That's going to be a really tough game.

222
00:11:56,315 --> 00:11:57,495
Coastal doesn't want to lose.

223
00:11:57,505 --> 00:12:00,484
They're not going to go in there
thinking we, we want to, we want

224
00:12:00,494 --> 00:12:02,164
Georgia Southern to go instead of ODU.

225
00:12:02,185 --> 00:12:02,834
They don't care.

226
00:12:03,064 --> 00:12:03,865
They couldn't care less.

227
00:12:03,875 --> 00:12:04,785
All they want to do is win.

228
00:12:04,795 --> 00:12:06,675
They're going to be a tough game
for Georgia Southern as well.

229
00:12:06,675 --> 00:12:10,515
So, and Troy seems to be
figuring something out.

230
00:12:10,525 --> 00:12:14,055
Like they beat, uh, they beat
Coastal at home on Friday.

231
00:12:14,465 --> 00:12:17,195
So they, believe me, they're not
going to lay off for app state.

232
00:12:17,195 --> 00:12:19,075
They're not exactly
Appalachian state fans.

233
00:12:19,485 --> 00:12:23,804
Uh, so we'll see, but it stinks that we
have to now depend on that because we

234
00:12:23,804 --> 00:12:25,624
went Saturday, we control everything.

235
00:12:26,245 --> 00:12:30,204
Uh, but if we were going to lose one, if,
if you told me, all right, one of these

236
00:12:30,204 --> 00:12:33,414
last three East games, you have to lose,
I would have picked app state because

237
00:12:33,425 --> 00:12:35,055
the tiebreaker is not likely to matter.

238
00:12:35,334 --> 00:12:38,225
Like if we lose the JMU, we
effectively dropped two below them.

239
00:12:38,225 --> 00:12:39,455
Same thing for Marshall.

240
00:12:39,455 --> 00:12:44,535
So if we had to lose one more East
game, I'm glad it was the one that.

241
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:46,519
It's not gonna hurt us too badly later on.

242
00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:50,060
And also, everyone hates JMU, so
we don't wanna lose that game.

243
00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:50,930
That's Oh yeah.

244
00:12:51,620 --> 00:12:53,540
. Just, just add it to the
giant pile of reasons.

245
00:12:53,540 --> 00:12:54,860
We gotta beat JMU this year.

246
00:12:55,009 --> 00:12:55,310
Yeah.

247
00:12:55,459 --> 00:12:56,120
We need this one.

248
00:12:56,749 --> 00:12:58,699
And we have to be, and we have to
beat Marshall 'cause they're three

249
00:12:58,699 --> 00:12:59,959
in one of the conference as well.

250
00:12:59,965 --> 00:13:00,124
Mm-Hmm.

251
00:13:00,475 --> 00:13:00,765
. Yeah.

252
00:13:00,844 --> 00:13:00,846
Mm-Hmm.

253
00:13:02,650 --> 00:13:06,339
. So, yeah, it's, well, uh, there's
a reason why App State was picked.

254
00:13:06,965 --> 00:13:08,415
They were picked first
in the East, correct?

255
00:13:08,595 --> 00:13:09,945
And the preseason goals.

256
00:13:10,485 --> 00:13:13,565
I know they didn't get the start
they wanted, but I think we all

257
00:13:13,565 --> 00:13:14,905
saw the team that they have.

258
00:13:15,405 --> 00:13:17,485
And I think, you know, they won last week.

259
00:13:17,795 --> 00:13:20,015
They won, you know, obviously
this week against us.

260
00:13:20,495 --> 00:13:22,225
I think they're, they're
definitely trending up and

261
00:13:22,225 --> 00:13:23,745
showing the team that they can be.

262
00:13:23,745 --> 00:13:29,025
So, uh, I think, uh, in addition to,
uh, the final, uh, against Arkansas

263
00:13:29,045 --> 00:13:31,964
state, uh, we'll, I think we'll
all be watching, uh, the Georgia

264
00:13:31,974 --> 00:13:34,144
Southern app state game as well.

265
00:13:34,145 --> 00:13:37,945
Uh, pretty interested in the outcome
of that, but should be a good one.

266
00:13:38,725 --> 00:13:43,505
App States defensive line was nastier
than I anticipated, especially when

267
00:13:43,505 --> 00:13:46,015
they got it, we got into situations
where they knew we were throwing it

268
00:13:46,015 --> 00:13:47,465
and they would only send three or four.

269
00:13:47,820 --> 00:13:49,430
I mean, they were mauling dudes up front.

270
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,810
Like if they're getting it together on
the D line, their O line seemed a lot more

271
00:13:53,810 --> 00:13:55,350
patched up than it was a few games ago.

272
00:13:55,350 --> 00:13:56,580
They didn't give up any sacks.

273
00:13:57,130 --> 00:13:59,639
Uh, if they're starting to figure out
their trenches, they've always had

274
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:01,010
the skill players to go and do it.

275
00:14:01,010 --> 00:14:03,370
So we can root for them to be spoilers.

276
00:14:03,429 --> 00:14:05,959
Just the rest of the way, ruin
everyone else's season since they've

277
00:14:05,959 --> 00:14:08,240
already put a, put a notch in ours.

278
00:14:08,630 --> 00:14:08,980
Yeah.

279
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,940
One thing I picked up early
on in the game, I think it was

280
00:14:11,940 --> 00:14:13,370
maybe the first or second drive.

281
00:14:13,370 --> 00:14:16,740
Uh, I saw the way they're online.

282
00:14:17,430 --> 00:14:21,870
So they had their forward linemen,
they had two linebackers, then they

283
00:14:21,870 --> 00:14:23,300
had everyone else in the secondary.

284
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,309
Very first snap I saw, one of their
safeties immediately shade over to the

285
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,690
middle of the field after the snap.

286
00:14:29,690 --> 00:14:31,340
I go, alright.

287
00:14:31,719 --> 00:14:35,459
They were taking away the middle
of the field after we used it

288
00:14:35,470 --> 00:14:36,890
to obliterate Georgia Southern.

289
00:14:37,129 --> 00:14:37,679
Mhm.

290
00:14:38,269 --> 00:14:41,480
And it changed how we had to play
them the entire game because we had to

291
00:14:42,450 --> 00:14:43,980
focus on the outside of the numbers.

292
00:14:45,145 --> 00:14:48,765
And it's why page is so valuable
yesterday because we had to

293
00:14:48,775 --> 00:14:52,225
attack the outside because the
middle was taken away yesterday.

294
00:14:52,985 --> 00:14:57,355
So credit to app states DC
for forcing us into that.

295
00:14:58,185 --> 00:15:01,564
Um, not sure if anyone else noticed
that, but they definitely took away

296
00:15:01,564 --> 00:15:04,905
the middle of the field early and
committed to that all game long.

297
00:15:06,564 --> 00:15:10,515
I also noticed in the second, they
brought their corners up on the guys

298
00:15:10,515 --> 00:15:13,755
in the perimeter and then cheated their
safeties towards the middle to almost.

299
00:15:14,115 --> 00:15:17,565
Pinch down the timing on the outside and
take away the middle at the same time.

300
00:15:17,565 --> 00:15:21,415
So they, they made some, some
quality halftime adjustments on

301
00:15:21,425 --> 00:15:23,305
defense that caused us some fits.

302
00:15:23,305 --> 00:15:23,993
Yeah.

303
00:15:23,993 --> 00:15:27,434
Well, sorry, Jonathan, go ahead.

304
00:15:27,434 --> 00:15:28,122
Yeah.

305
00:15:28,122 --> 00:15:33,255
I was going to, you know, one of
the things this year, especially,

306
00:15:33,795 --> 00:15:37,245
uh, you know, credit to the coaching
staff, you know, the fact app

307
00:15:37,245 --> 00:15:40,795
state through that wrinkle in that
we exploited on Georgia Southern.

308
00:15:41,305 --> 00:15:46,030
Um, You know, the first half
specially, uh, you know, the coaching

309
00:15:46,030 --> 00:15:49,910
staff saw that obviously we started
running all those outside passes.

310
00:15:50,370 --> 00:15:54,400
Uh, you know, there's those off
tackle runs to really take advantage.

311
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,099
We saw that we made the adjustment.

312
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:59,709
Uh, obviously app state made some
solid adjustments in the second

313
00:15:59,710 --> 00:16:01,319
half, which slowed us down.

314
00:16:01,319 --> 00:16:05,920
But I feel like the coaching staff this
year has been much more reactive and

315
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,950
making those adjustments, whether it
Coming out of a game heading into based

316
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,340
on prior game film or in game adjustments.

317
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,799
Uh, obviously it didn't give us the
win this year, but I feel like we're

318
00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:20,350
much more, uh, reactive in the coaching
staff, a little more servant assertive

319
00:16:20,350 --> 00:16:24,989
as far as, uh, seeing what's happening
and making those adjustments and putting

320
00:16:24,989 --> 00:16:27,069
our guys in the best place to execute.

321
00:16:28,829 --> 00:16:29,039
Yeah.

322
00:16:29,039 --> 00:16:33,649
To back up that point, we've had
fans criticize Ricky throughout his

323
00:16:33,649 --> 00:16:35,839
tenure as being too conservative.

324
00:16:37,390 --> 00:16:38,959
Yesterday, he goes forward on fourth down.

325
00:16:38,980 --> 00:16:44,840
It didn't work out, but if if Colton hands
that ball off, that might be a touchdown.

326
00:16:45,819 --> 00:16:48,999
If Colton takes the other
gap, that's a first down.

327
00:16:49,010 --> 00:16:50,900
He gets six to 10 yards easily.

328
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:52,540
You just picked the wrong gap.

329
00:16:53,799 --> 00:16:56,100
Um, which is such a
bang, bang play as well.

330
00:16:56,159 --> 00:16:58,179
He's got what less than a second to pick.

331
00:16:58,179 --> 00:17:01,459
So he picks a gap and he goes and gets
stopped and, and he almost got it anyways.

332
00:17:01,459 --> 00:17:05,070
I mean, I thought at first they were
gonna maybe, maybe take a look at it

333
00:17:05,070 --> 00:17:07,879
and measure it, but then like, okay,
you see the replays, he didn't get it.

334
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:09,270
But it was close.

335
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,699
There were some questionable
spots yesterday.

336
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:12,280
Yeah.

337
00:17:12,889 --> 00:17:14,360
Apart from that, that play.

338
00:17:15,290 --> 00:17:18,579
Honestly, I think they should have went
back to that third down play and looked

339
00:17:18,579 --> 00:17:19,909
at where that spot should have been.

340
00:17:20,439 --> 00:17:21,009
Yes.

341
00:17:21,369 --> 00:17:25,639
Cause I feel like we had the first
down before we even, the announcer said

342
00:17:25,639 --> 00:17:28,750
it, the announcer said, Oh, it looks
like to be enough for the first down.

343
00:17:28,750 --> 00:17:31,100
And then he says, Oh, Oh,
they're about a yard short.

344
00:17:31,730 --> 00:17:31,909
Yeah.

345
00:17:31,909 --> 00:17:33,610
They walked it back like three yards.

346
00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:33,949
Yeah.

347
00:17:33,949 --> 00:17:35,250
That's how you got to.

348
00:17:35,985 --> 00:17:37,155
The refs got to do better.

349
00:17:37,485 --> 00:17:42,014
If everyone sees it, refs got to
do better, especially on a job.

350
00:17:42,025 --> 00:17:44,884
That is so like the spot of the ball.

351
00:17:44,915 --> 00:17:45,585
It's just,

352
00:17:47,825 --> 00:17:50,685
it seems so arbitrary, right?

353
00:17:50,944 --> 00:17:51,294
Yeah.

354
00:17:52,155 --> 00:17:54,574
You also have the ability
to just go review it.

355
00:17:54,575 --> 00:17:55,414
Like, Oh crap.

356
00:17:55,424 --> 00:17:57,705
I may have put that on the wrong
side of the foot or something.

357
00:17:57,715 --> 00:17:58,845
Just go take a look.

358
00:17:58,865 --> 00:18:00,495
We have a replay for that reason.

359
00:18:00,875 --> 00:18:01,045
Yeah.

360
00:18:01,065 --> 00:18:03,994
I mean, if it's like first down, no one
cares, but a third down setting up a

361
00:18:03,995 --> 00:18:06,874
fourth and short and a territory where,
you know, you're going to go for it.

362
00:18:08,270 --> 00:18:10,889
Yeah, I just think they w it'll be fine.

363
00:18:10,990 --> 00:18:17,240
And then i of turn things quite a bi
was not too long after we to start

364
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:27,660
the third quarte get too deep in this,
I n shout out Aaron Young for weeks.

365
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:33,670
Yesterday again, p on 14 carries.

366
00:18:34,230 --> 00:18:36,320
He's just playing so damn hard.

367
00:18:36,745 --> 00:18:37,625
Out of the backfield.

368
00:18:37,805 --> 00:18:39,565
He was running yesterday.

369
00:18:39,625 --> 00:18:39,905
Yeah.

370
00:18:39,905 --> 00:18:43,015
I mean, he does it every week,
but yesterday he was running.

371
00:18:43,855 --> 00:18:44,125
Yeah.

372
00:18:44,185 --> 00:18:47,724
I was hoping to see him with five,
six, seven more carries considering

373
00:18:47,724 --> 00:18:51,484
he was, he was going off at what,
like seven, almost eight yards of

374
00:18:51,485 --> 00:18:53,064
pop, almost eight yards of carry.

375
00:18:53,525 --> 00:18:59,355
I think I, I w I wouldn't say I know
the number, but the number of design

376
00:18:59,355 --> 00:19:04,065
runs we have for Colton, do you guys
know what that number was yesterday?

377
00:19:04,065 --> 00:19:06,335
I don't think I know the number,
but I think it had to be at least.

378
00:19:06,659 --> 00:19:10,590
Other than the, the one, you know, where
he, it's like a, you know, option and he

379
00:19:10,590 --> 00:19:12,159
dives and he doesn't get the first down.

380
00:19:12,570 --> 00:19:16,330
I mean, there's, there's 16 other runs
there that he had on his 17 carries or

381
00:19:16,330 --> 00:19:21,419
16 other runs, I think at least what five
to six of them have to be designed runs.

382
00:19:21,849 --> 00:19:23,420
So he's got.

383
00:19:24,325 --> 00:19:25,865
Two and a half yards per carry.

384
00:19:26,764 --> 00:19:28,425
And he's probably gotten
out a couple of times.

385
00:19:28,425 --> 00:19:29,725
He had a 14 yard carry.

386
00:19:29,905 --> 00:19:33,215
So he's got probably one time where
he rolls out and he goes 14 yards

387
00:19:33,215 --> 00:19:37,855
and whatever, and Aaron is hopping
off every single time he runs.

388
00:19:38,135 --> 00:19:39,815
I get it that you got to mix it up.

389
00:19:39,834 --> 00:19:42,295
I get it that we do that
with Colton for a reason.

390
00:19:42,304 --> 00:19:44,454
Cause he's super quick, but.

391
00:19:44,909 --> 00:19:49,030
In this situation, until they stop
him, I'm not sure why we didn't

392
00:19:49,030 --> 00:19:50,020
just keep running with Aaron.

393
00:19:50,460 --> 00:19:51,880
He was torturing.

394
00:19:53,190 --> 00:19:53,370
All right.

395
00:19:53,460 --> 00:19:55,170
So five of those are sacks, right?

396
00:19:55,580 --> 00:19:56,939
So you got to take those out of it.

397
00:19:56,950 --> 00:19:57,810
So they count those.

398
00:19:58,060 --> 00:19:59,210
They count a sack as a run.

399
00:19:59,780 --> 00:20:00,190
Yeah.

400
00:20:00,190 --> 00:20:04,730
That loss is 23 yards.

401
00:20:05,289 --> 00:20:07,780
That's why I didn't think they
counted the sacks as a run.

402
00:20:08,290 --> 00:20:08,490
Yeah.

403
00:20:08,490 --> 00:20:11,250
That's why the net yardage is 42.

404
00:20:11,250 --> 00:20:14,150
Oh, I actually ran for 63 yards.

405
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:14,880
Okay.

406
00:20:14,930 --> 00:20:16,389
But he had five sacks.

407
00:20:17,179 --> 00:20:19,760
Uh, mounting the 23 loss yards and losses.

408
00:20:20,030 --> 00:20:22,010
I didn't realize they
counted a sack as a run.

409
00:20:22,255 --> 00:20:24,865
It's . It's, yeah, it's
not a run, it's a sack.

410
00:20:24,895 --> 00:20:25,760
It's, yeah.

411
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,380
And then the NFL, they
take it out of what?

412
00:20:27,380 --> 00:20:27,889
Team?

413
00:20:27,889 --> 00:20:31,130
Pa team passing yards, but not, yeah,
team passing, quarterback passing yards.

414
00:20:31,159 --> 00:20:31,880
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

415
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,530
That's kind of what I
was thinking it was at.

416
00:20:33,530 --> 00:20:34,190
I didn't realize.

417
00:20:34,630 --> 00:20:34,870
Yeah.

418
00:20:34,870 --> 00:20:39,779
So he's at like 3.8 yards per carry if
you count out the five, seven yards.

419
00:20:39,784 --> 00:20:41,489
So a little better, but still, still.

420
00:20:42,014 --> 00:20:42,225
Yeah.

421
00:20:42,585 --> 00:20:45,615
Aaron's getting eight . I think
it, man, you gotta feed the beast.

422
00:20:45,615 --> 00:20:48,985
Support your, your point that 14 carries.

423
00:20:49,365 --> 00:20:52,275
It's kind of like when you have a
guy that goes seven of eight from

424
00:20:52,275 --> 00:20:55,275
three, you should never see that.

425
00:20:55,965 --> 00:20:59,985
'cause if he's hitting seven of eight from
three, he should have stopped 15 threes.

426
00:21:00,364 --> 00:21:01,505
Yeah, a hundred percent.

427
00:21:02,985 --> 00:21:04,425
Shoot until, doesn't work anymore.

428
00:21:04,429 --> 00:21:04,720
Right?

429
00:21:05,195 --> 00:21:05,554
Yeah.

430
00:21:07,464 --> 00:21:07,674
Yeah.

431
00:21:07,739 --> 00:21:10,225
I, I, I think you gotta feed
the beast in this situation.

432
00:21:10,225 --> 00:21:13,346
I mean, it's a, especially at the end
of the game here when we, you know.

433
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,370
We're trying to in the second half,
keep the lead and you know, just,

434
00:21:17,810 --> 00:21:19,820
I'm not saying run out the clock,
but we're trying to keep the lead.

435
00:21:19,820 --> 00:21:22,340
We need to score, we need to do
the right things, but also running

436
00:21:22,340 --> 00:21:23,640
the clock is not a bad deal.

437
00:21:24,590 --> 00:21:25,430
Just feed the beast.

438
00:21:25,439 --> 00:21:28,850
If they stop them, okay, we'll,
we'll go to the throw in the wall.

439
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,130
I mean, come on, we got to run
on his, his shoulders were.

440
00:21:33,940 --> 00:21:37,380
They were asking for to carry all the
weight and we didn't give it to him.

441
00:21:37,380 --> 00:21:38,440
And I'm not really sure why.

442
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:42,420
So I watched the game at, at
afterglow for our watch party.

443
00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:47,169
So audio wasn't great for me because
I have bar noises all around me

444
00:21:47,380 --> 00:21:49,030
and I, my hearing sucks anyways.

445
00:21:49,489 --> 00:21:52,799
Did they say anything about Daevon
Roche and why he wasn't playing?

446
00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:58,174
They said at the beginning of
the game, That he was out, but

447
00:21:58,174 --> 00:21:59,415
they didn't, I, I don't remember.

448
00:21:59,415 --> 00:22:01,835
It was such a quick thing and
I heard it and I kind of turned

449
00:22:01,835 --> 00:22:03,025
my head like, Oh, wait, okay.

450
00:22:03,025 --> 00:22:05,155
So Devin's out, but I didn't know why.

451
00:22:05,205 --> 00:22:07,415
So I didn't hear what they said
specifically, but they did it.

452
00:22:07,435 --> 00:22:09,125
They did say it's, they said he was out.

453
00:22:09,125 --> 00:22:12,145
So they said he was
out with injury injury.

454
00:22:12,155 --> 00:22:13,314
That's what I'm really elaborate.

455
00:22:13,555 --> 00:22:16,715
Yeah, he, he did get another injury
in the Georgia Southern game.

456
00:22:16,775 --> 00:22:18,885
And I don't think we saw
much late in that one.

457
00:22:19,205 --> 00:22:21,935
So I'm hoping that that's
not continuing to linger.

458
00:22:21,935 --> 00:22:24,615
And maybe it's something they just said,
all right, take this week and the bi week

459
00:22:24,615 --> 00:22:26,274
and come back healthy for the last three.

460
00:22:27,739 --> 00:22:29,199
So, I mean, I think Bryce
Duke did a good job.

461
00:22:29,199 --> 00:22:30,409
He just didn't get on the field very much.

462
00:22:30,409 --> 00:22:33,139
He had two pretty good catches,
one for a big first down,

463
00:22:33,340 --> 00:22:34,379
had a couple of decent runs.

464
00:22:34,380 --> 00:22:38,859
But I think I was just looking
through the last drive of the game,

465
00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:41,519
which we had plenty of time on
that drive to go down the field.

466
00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:44,780
I want to say it was like, I
can't remember exactly how much.

467
00:22:44,939 --> 00:22:45,730
I think it was like five minutes.

468
00:22:46,149 --> 00:22:49,000
But the only touch Aaron
Young got was on a pass.

469
00:22:51,950 --> 00:22:53,520
So, yeah, it was.

470
00:22:54,509 --> 00:22:58,124
But, you know, to kind of come back
to that, the first point five minutes.

471
00:22:58,124 --> 00:22:59,819
Five minutes, OK.

472
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,830
We have a lot of playmakers, which,
you know, we have a, a, a tough

473
00:23:04,850 --> 00:23:07,760
run here in the next three games
to, to finish out the season.

474
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,369
But, uh, you know, whether it's Aaron
Young, uh, Colton on the ground or

475
00:23:11,369 --> 00:23:15,019
through the air, uh, you mentioned
like Bryce, I mean, Isiah Paige,

476
00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:19,230
obviously without, without saying,
um, you know, finding that right mix,

477
00:23:19,230 --> 00:23:21,040
you know, whatever the D throws at us.

478
00:23:21,290 --> 00:23:24,460
Uh, I think, you know, that'll really
be key in the next three games is

479
00:23:24,470 --> 00:23:27,850
finding that optimal mix to get
the ball out with the playmakers.

480
00:23:27,850 --> 00:23:29,599
And, uh, we know what they can do.

481
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:36,180
Um, but yeah, it's, uh, still a tough
result the way it played out, but, uh,

482
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,899
with the guys we have on the team, we
have, uh, again, with the start to the

483
00:23:40,899 --> 00:23:44,500
season, uh, coming out of the gates as
we did with the, the tough schedule,

484
00:23:44,869 --> 00:23:47,509
uh, really excited to see what we've
been able to do, continue to fight.

485
00:23:47,990 --> 00:23:50,750
Uh, but yeah, it's, it's going to be fun.

486
00:23:50,750 --> 00:23:53,440
Three games to finish out
with two of those at home.

487
00:23:54,159 --> 00:23:54,610
Oh, yeah.

488
00:23:56,679 --> 00:23:58,199
Be nice to just win those two.

489
00:23:58,360 --> 00:24:01,960
And then it's a little bit less of a
sweat at Arkansas state for a number

490
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,689
of reasons, but I don't know if I
feel like if we beat JMU and Marshall

491
00:24:06,689 --> 00:24:09,199
at home, we're not going to lose to
anybody on the road the following week.

492
00:24:10,860 --> 00:24:12,439
But Hey, it's the fun belt, right?

493
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,929
Yeah.

494
00:24:16,110 --> 00:24:17,759
College football is a shit
show this year anyway.

495
00:24:17,770 --> 00:24:18,169
It doesn't matter.

496
00:24:19,350 --> 00:24:19,580
Yeah.

497
00:24:19,580 --> 00:24:28,149
But we do have a bi week this week and
we know what happens after bi weeks.

498
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,089
Ricky Ronnie does not lose after bi weeks.

499
00:24:34,294 --> 00:24:35,705
I really hope not this time.

500
00:24:35,784 --> 00:24:36,425
Oh man.

501
00:24:36,935 --> 00:24:38,614
Yeah, we'll never hear the
end of that if they do.

502
00:24:38,925 --> 00:24:40,294
So please, please don't.

503
00:24:40,904 --> 00:24:44,114
But I'm, I'm glad for the bye week
mainly just to get some guys healthy.

504
00:24:44,174 --> 00:24:47,694
Like, you know, we said Devin Roche missed
because of injury, but Santana Saunders

505
00:24:47,735 --> 00:24:49,134
wasn't there on the offensive line.

506
00:24:49,614 --> 00:24:54,514
Uh, so we were kind of really down to the,
down a couple of guys on that offensive

507
00:24:54,514 --> 00:24:55,624
line from the start of the season.

508
00:24:55,624 --> 00:24:58,894
So hopefully getting them back
and then we'll see maybe Jason

509
00:24:58,904 --> 00:25:00,715
Henderson, maybe a Jalen Butler.

510
00:25:01,344 --> 00:25:04,615
Like my, my dream now is to get Jalen
Butler and Pat Conroy on the field

511
00:25:04,615 --> 00:25:07,264
at the same time and just see what
defense has tried to do to stop it.

512
00:25:09,774 --> 00:25:13,004
So since Jason's taking his red shirt,
Speaking of like, like injuries,

513
00:25:15,394 --> 00:25:16,914
yeah, you can play the
rest of the season now.

514
00:25:16,945 --> 00:25:17,264
Yeah.

515
00:25:17,314 --> 00:25:18,465
Cause there's only three games left.

516
00:25:18,735 --> 00:25:20,674
He only played South Carolina,
so he can play three.

517
00:25:20,875 --> 00:25:21,965
That's still crazy to me.

518
00:25:22,004 --> 00:25:23,875
It still blows my mind
that that's a real thing.

519
00:25:23,905 --> 00:25:26,615
Cause when we played obviously
one snap and you were done.

520
00:25:27,095 --> 00:25:27,695
So, yeah.

521
00:25:28,054 --> 00:25:29,605
And you guys got mistreated.

522
00:25:30,095 --> 00:25:31,884
You guys, you guys got mistreated.

523
00:25:32,649 --> 00:25:33,250
Yeah, we know.

524
00:25:35,149 --> 00:25:36,580
No cream cheese for your bagels.

525
00:25:38,540 --> 00:25:39,470
Oh, that's right.

526
00:25:39,470 --> 00:25:43,280
Because a bagel is a snack,
but if you put cream cheese

527
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,379
on it, it's considered a meal.

528
00:25:44,379 --> 00:25:44,909
Meal.

529
00:25:45,179 --> 00:25:46,000
Can't have it.

530
00:25:47,749 --> 00:25:49,559
Nothing like a cold bagel at 5.

531
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:50,649
30 in the morning.

532
00:25:50,650 --> 00:25:54,789
It was really like 4.

533
00:25:54,789 --> 00:25:57,449
30 as well, because it was like, you
better show up an hour before the

534
00:25:57,459 --> 00:25:58,919
meeting times, like it's craziness.

535
00:25:59,959 --> 00:26:04,665
So because of injuries and depth and
all that, Um, one of the plays I want

536
00:26:04,665 --> 00:26:09,705
to shout out from yesterday was a pass
at state head to the end zone where

537
00:26:09,725 --> 00:26:11,804
the ball is knocked out by Deavon Iles.

538
00:26:12,674 --> 00:26:16,925
Daevon is a true freshman
safety playing in that position,

539
00:26:17,295 --> 00:26:18,884
punches it out perfectly.

540
00:26:19,934 --> 00:26:22,864
We all thought at first that
was a drop, but that was just

541
00:26:22,864 --> 00:26:25,034
a perfectly defended pass.

542
00:26:25,294 --> 00:26:26,495
I'll hold my hand up on that one.

543
00:26:26,495 --> 00:26:29,935
I texted you guys and said, Oh, well,
I don't know why he's doing the.

544
00:26:30,304 --> 00:26:31,784
If he didn't do anything, I guess.

545
00:26:32,165 --> 00:26:34,554
And right away they showed the
replay and said, Oh, nevermind.

546
00:26:34,574 --> 00:26:35,104
I'm sorry.

547
00:26:35,134 --> 00:26:36,834
Um, that was an incredible play.

548
00:26:37,455 --> 00:26:39,784
Like what a, what a defensive play.

549
00:26:39,824 --> 00:26:40,384
Incredible.

550
00:26:42,064 --> 00:26:47,114
And that's his first kind of
introduction to ODU fans is him shutting

551
00:26:47,114 --> 00:26:53,304
down on an amazing pass that was
perfectly thrown right in the basket.

552
00:26:53,304 --> 00:26:56,464
Like that was the only play
he could make and he made it.

553
00:26:57,024 --> 00:26:57,364
Yeah.

554
00:26:57,724 --> 00:26:59,764
If he doesn't touch the ball,
it's a catch, it's a touchdown.

555
00:26:59,764 --> 00:27:00,024
So.

556
00:27:01,534 --> 00:27:03,634
Yeah, so shout out to Daevon on that play.

557
00:27:03,634 --> 00:27:04,434
That was awesome.

558
00:27:04,704 --> 00:27:05,074
Incredible.

559
00:27:05,104 --> 00:27:09,034
Um, Jaron Manning, second straight
game with more than 10 tackles

560
00:27:09,424 --> 00:27:12,204
continues to be a light on our defense.

561
00:27:12,215 --> 00:27:13,354
Just phenomenal.

562
00:27:13,384 --> 00:27:15,955
This season, EJ green.

563
00:27:15,984 --> 00:27:18,485
Great to see him back
playing a lot of snaps.

564
00:27:19,264 --> 00:27:21,514
Uh, he was second in tackles
yesterday with eight.

565
00:27:22,384 --> 00:27:25,405
Um, no sex for the boys yesterday, but.

566
00:27:26,594 --> 00:27:32,604
We did have three tackles for loss
between Jaron, Angelo Rankin, who has

567
00:27:33,354 --> 00:27:39,794
become a phenomenal defender, uh, in
the tackle, like in other areas of just

568
00:27:39,864 --> 00:27:43,644
other than being a corner, like he's
coming up in the run game and making

569
00:27:43,644 --> 00:27:46,134
plays for multiple games in a row now.

570
00:27:46,914 --> 00:27:48,924
Um, been really impressed
by him this season.

571
00:27:49,774 --> 00:27:52,735
And then Chris Trinidad has,
uh, the other tackle for loss.

572
00:27:53,965 --> 00:27:56,105
Chris has had a phenomenal season as well.

573
00:27:57,245 --> 00:28:00,925
Yeah, no sacks yesterday, but
it was not for a lack of trying.

574
00:28:00,984 --> 00:28:03,714
I mean, we were sending the house on
a bunch of blitzes and you can see

575
00:28:03,715 --> 00:28:05,145
it show up in the quarterback hits.

576
00:28:05,515 --> 00:28:08,095
Like Seth Noatala had two QB hits.

577
00:28:08,095 --> 00:28:10,935
Mario Thompson had two
and Koa had another one.

578
00:28:11,395 --> 00:28:13,965
Probably a few more QB hits that
they could have included in there,

579
00:28:13,965 --> 00:28:17,675
but they were just able to get the
ball out quickly or pick up the

580
00:28:17,675 --> 00:28:20,074
blitz just enough to avoid the sack.

581
00:28:20,385 --> 00:28:21,555
And then Aguilar just was.

582
00:28:21,825 --> 00:28:25,575
Dotting those deep balls and credit to his
receivers to think that second touchdown

583
00:28:25,575 --> 00:28:28,995
pass, he actually under threw it, but the
receiver just kind of shook the defender

584
00:28:28,995 --> 00:28:30,495
and took a step back and caught it.

585
00:28:30,855 --> 00:28:35,445
Um, but man, you can't give app state any
time back there, like, unless you're a,

586
00:28:35,674 --> 00:28:39,575
like an unblocked rusher coming in, which
we didn't have any of those, like you were

587
00:28:39,575 --> 00:28:41,154
just not going to hit them quick enough.

588
00:28:41,524 --> 00:28:43,674
It was just pretty wild,
frustrating for that defense.

589
00:28:44,794 --> 00:28:48,545
I will say, uh, the other thing I noticed
with app that I hadn't seen in the last

590
00:28:48,545 --> 00:28:50,325
few weeks is they had a real team speed.

591
00:28:51,679 --> 00:28:56,379
Uh, we hadn't seen that in the last few
games against our opponents, but, um,

592
00:28:56,389 --> 00:29:01,840
there was one play where Joey Aguilar
and the running back, uh, Mario, or

593
00:29:01,860 --> 00:29:05,629
I think it was Mario that had a good
angle on the play, just got smoked.

594
00:29:05,679 --> 00:29:09,349
Like just, they just burned him around the
edge and it didn't matter how good of an

595
00:29:09,349 --> 00:29:11,740
angle he had, the speed was just too much.

596
00:29:12,620 --> 00:29:15,240
And there's plays like that where
you're like, all right, this team

597
00:29:15,270 --> 00:29:20,510
has some real talent and there was no
business for them starting the season 0

598
00:29:22,705 --> 00:29:23,745
Marshall's really good.

599
00:29:23,745 --> 00:29:25,365
And that's another
really good running back.

600
00:29:25,385 --> 00:29:27,895
We've gone up against in the
last couple of weeks, but 23

601
00:29:27,905 --> 00:29:30,624
carries for 123 yards, uh, 5.

602
00:29:30,625 --> 00:29:34,764
2 yards per carry had a long 29
didn't get in the end zone, but man,

603
00:29:34,774 --> 00:29:38,145
he was a workhorse, especially on
those drives later in the game when

604
00:29:38,145 --> 00:29:41,855
they needed to get in like third and
three, third and four, third and five.

605
00:29:42,225 --> 00:29:44,495
They were able to set that up a
lot, which is why their third down

606
00:29:44,495 --> 00:29:45,834
conversion rate was a little bit higher.

607
00:29:45,854 --> 00:29:48,394
Cause we weren't really defending
a lot of those third and 10

608
00:29:48,404 --> 00:29:49,924
pluses like we've been used to.

609
00:29:49,924 --> 00:29:50,394
It was.

610
00:29:50,950 --> 00:29:53,980
Third and five, you can run, you can pass,
there's a lot of options, and they were

611
00:29:54,170 --> 00:29:58,340
killing us with outs and corners, um, in
those, those third and short situations.

612
00:30:00,090 --> 00:30:05,210
Yeah, um, just got to tip
your hat to App State.

613
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,649
That's all we can really
do at this point, because

614
00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:15,219
it feels like that scene in, uh,
Fast and Furious, where they have

615
00:30:15,220 --> 00:30:19,000
that race with Toretta and the, the
cop at the beginning of the movie,

616
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,690
he goes, I almost had you, bro.

617
00:30:22,340 --> 00:30:23,550
Doesn't, it doesn't matter.

618
00:30:24,010 --> 00:30:26,100
No, it doesn't matter how close you are.

619
00:30:28,065 --> 00:30:30,565
Yeah, I mean, I don't think there's
any sense in overreacting either.

620
00:30:30,575 --> 00:30:32,115
Some people are overreacting.

621
00:30:32,125 --> 00:30:33,285
Oh, well, we did this wrong.

622
00:30:33,285 --> 00:30:34,055
We did that wrong.

623
00:30:34,055 --> 00:30:37,454
And like, I don't want to be too, I think
we talked about this a little bit ago.

624
00:30:37,455 --> 00:30:38,405
I don't want to be too.

625
00:30:38,955 --> 00:30:40,005
It's totally fine.

626
00:30:40,365 --> 00:30:41,185
It's totally great.

627
00:30:41,255 --> 00:30:43,725
We're a great football team and we're
going to win all these last three games.

628
00:30:43,725 --> 00:30:46,745
Like, we don't want to be that way, but
we also don't want to overreact and say,

629
00:30:46,765 --> 00:30:49,425
Oh my God, we, we just screwed that game.

630
00:30:49,435 --> 00:30:50,535
We, we should have won.

631
00:30:50,555 --> 00:30:52,195
We just made way too many mistakes.

632
00:30:52,255 --> 00:30:53,354
No, we didn't.

633
00:30:53,385 --> 00:30:57,044
We didn't make too many mistakes
yesterday, but they were mistakes.

634
00:30:57,075 --> 00:30:59,665
A lot of times that were forced by
app state, just playing really well.

635
00:31:00,065 --> 00:31:02,685
So, you know, it's tough
and that's how it goes.

636
00:31:02,685 --> 00:31:05,665
We don't want to overreact and,
you know, freak everyone out.

637
00:31:06,135 --> 00:31:07,275
It's, it's all right.

638
00:31:07,275 --> 00:31:07,845
It's football.

639
00:31:07,905 --> 00:31:08,695
This is what happens.

640
00:31:08,765 --> 00:31:14,345
I had a lot of similar feelings
after the South Carolina game, right?

641
00:31:14,425 --> 00:31:18,005
Like we outplayed a good football team.

642
00:31:18,575 --> 00:31:21,015
Obviously App State's not the
same caliber as South Carolina

643
00:31:21,035 --> 00:31:24,725
from a talent perspective, but,
uh, ODU is a good football team.

644
00:31:24,795 --> 00:31:25,475
We competed.

645
00:31:25,955 --> 00:31:26,965
They just made more plays

646
00:31:29,095 --> 00:31:31,345
that South Carolina law
still burns me, man.

647
00:31:31,345 --> 00:31:32,065
Like that loss.

648
00:31:32,095 --> 00:31:35,895
I feel like it's worse every week after
they just dump truck Texas A& M at home.

649
00:31:36,205 --> 00:31:37,025
But I was like, you know what?

650
00:31:37,375 --> 00:31:39,315
We played a lot better
down there than A& M did.

651
00:31:39,415 --> 00:31:42,225
And I can promise you their NIL
budgets a lot bigger than ours.

652
00:31:43,265 --> 00:31:45,804
We played, we played them better
than a lot of teams did this year.

653
00:31:46,454 --> 00:31:46,684
Yeah.

654
00:31:46,694 --> 00:31:51,115
I saw a run from Lenore sellers yesterday
where he only gained like 12 yards,

655
00:31:51,525 --> 00:31:54,805
but it's maybe the most impressive
12 yards I've ever seen in my life.

656
00:31:57,154 --> 00:31:57,314
Yeah.

657
00:31:58,890 --> 00:32:01,830
They, they just, they just have
crazy athletes at every position.

658
00:32:02,310 --> 00:32:04,150
I get like defense everywhere.

659
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,290
I mean, they, they blew the doors
off a and M late in that game.

660
00:32:09,029 --> 00:32:12,099
It was actually, yeah, they really should
be better than they are considering

661
00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:14,309
where they are at geography wise.

662
00:32:15,189 --> 00:32:15,379
Yeah.

663
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:16,830
And they're so close to Atlanta.

664
00:32:16,870 --> 00:32:18,310
They got all the South Carolina athletes.

665
00:32:18,310 --> 00:32:19,850
They're not far from Charlotte.

666
00:32:20,270 --> 00:32:23,980
I mean, they should just be eating
up teams with where they're located.

667
00:32:24,410 --> 00:32:24,940
Mhm.

668
00:32:24,950 --> 00:32:28,740
A lot of competition in that space
to Clemson, Georgia, Florida.

669
00:32:28,830 --> 00:32:29,590
I mean, true.

670
00:32:30,740 --> 00:32:33,250
Yeah, tough eating,
tough eating out there.

671
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,860
They scored more points
against Kentucky, L.

672
00:32:36,860 --> 00:32:37,040
S.

673
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:37,340
U.

674
00:32:37,340 --> 00:32:43,660
Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas A and M.

675
00:32:43,810 --> 00:32:44,720
Then they scored on us.

676
00:32:45,835 --> 00:32:47,275
So we gave him two touchdowns.

677
00:32:47,825 --> 00:32:49,825
Yeah, we gave him two touchdowns.

678
00:32:50,095 --> 00:32:50,535
That's great.

679
00:32:50,695 --> 00:32:51,525
It was week one.

680
00:32:51,805 --> 00:32:53,065
I know it's week one.

681
00:32:53,065 --> 00:32:54,375
I know, but I don't care.

682
00:32:54,584 --> 00:32:56,855
That is, I mean, they,
they scored two touchdowns.

683
00:32:56,855 --> 00:33:01,515
Like you're saying Gary, that they
started inside our 10 yard line like that.

684
00:33:01,875 --> 00:33:03,645
And they only scored 23 points on us.

685
00:33:03,705 --> 00:33:07,355
We played our defense is something.

686
00:33:07,975 --> 00:33:10,385
I know we didn't get off
on third down enough.

687
00:33:10,385 --> 00:33:10,645
Yes.

688
00:33:10,645 --> 00:33:11,645
Last year, yesterday.

689
00:33:13,745 --> 00:33:17,465
And I feel bad that we've gone this far
into the show, and we have not shared

690
00:33:17,495 --> 00:33:19,615
Aaron's little tidbit on the game.

691
00:33:20,025 --> 00:33:24,405
So, I'm gonna share that right now, and
then after that we'll go to fan calls.

692
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,460
We got a hurt for the Duke
of this what's up, Mike?

693
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,300
What's up, Gary?

694
00:33:29,630 --> 00:33:29,820
Sorry.

695
00:33:29,820 --> 00:33:33,200
I can't be on there with you I'm on
this wonderful trip down to Atlanta

696
00:33:33,910 --> 00:33:37,249
to see Billie Eilish with the family
I can't say that I'm a big fan.

697
00:33:37,250 --> 00:33:40,809
But anyway, it should be a great
time Atlanta Falcons are in town and

698
00:33:40,809 --> 00:33:42,149
right now the Cowboys are losing.

699
00:33:42,149 --> 00:33:46,305
So that's awesome Anyways,
really good game yesterday.

700
00:33:46,305 --> 00:33:48,985
Unfortunately, we did not
come away with the victory.

701
00:33:49,085 --> 00:33:53,865
I think the key number was five, five
turnovers for the traditional sense.

702
00:33:53,904 --> 00:33:58,085
One that was on down, because I know
Ricky said that he kind of regretted

703
00:33:58,085 --> 00:34:00,054
doing, uh, and then five sacks.

704
00:34:00,055 --> 00:34:01,964
So we gave up five sacks.

705
00:34:01,964 --> 00:34:06,675
We didn't get any sacks, but to have
five turnovers to one and only be

706
00:34:06,725 --> 00:34:09,785
one score away, uh, there's lots
of great upside for this team.

707
00:34:09,965 --> 00:34:11,575
So I'm excited about two weeks from now.

708
00:34:12,380 --> 00:34:13,240
That's the big game.

709
00:34:13,240 --> 00:34:14,000
That's the next game.

710
00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:16,880
We got to beat JMU and that spring
poison store and other thing.

711
00:34:17,660 --> 00:34:20,670
I'll see you guys tomorrow
at the basketball game.

712
00:34:21,290 --> 00:34:21,910
Go Monarchs.

713
00:34:25,879 --> 00:34:26,820
All right, thanks Aaron.

714
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,830
Um, Cowboys did lose that game, so
we need to give that a final recap.

715
00:34:31,830 --> 00:34:35,239
I believe they lost 27 21 to the falcons.

716
00:34:37,155 --> 00:34:37,865
is injured.

717
00:34:37,945 --> 00:34:38,565
He's out.

718
00:34:40,105 --> 00:34:47,194
Um, this, this, this call is it's
always, I'm not sure injured by the way.

719
00:34:47,194 --> 00:34:49,125
I don just not great.

720
00:34:49,125 --> 00:34:54,655
Just a dra say it is the Yankee fans week.

721
00:34:57,394 --> 00:34:59,994
Oh, that's a good o

722
00:35:03,115 --> 00:35:07,405
All right, and then, uh, obviously
the Duke of Discipline gave us a

723
00:35:07,405 --> 00:35:11,795
call, so I'm gonna throw his logo
up on here on Jonathan's face

724
00:35:11,834 --> 00:35:13,855
before we play his video, his audio.

725
00:35:14,535 --> 00:35:15,094
Sorry, Jonathan.

726
00:35:15,094 --> 00:35:16,344
Interesting game, fellas.

727
00:35:16,344 --> 00:35:20,545
I do want to start off, Van Isiah
Paige absolutely cooked yesterday.

728
00:35:20,615 --> 00:35:23,634
Uh, I wanted to highlight that
first because the guy has given

729
00:35:23,634 --> 00:35:26,695
everything to this program since
coming here, and I hate it when we

730
00:35:27,095 --> 00:35:28,765
Squatter huge performances like that.

731
00:35:28,955 --> 00:35:31,985
Uh, don't want to be too negative, but
do you want to point out some things?

732
00:35:32,415 --> 00:35:37,385
Uh, I don't think our defense game
plan enough on our UR's ability to run.

733
00:35:37,645 --> 00:35:41,964
Contain was broken too many times and he
ran for his most yards yet on the season.

734
00:35:42,485 --> 00:35:43,814
We did go away from the run.

735
00:35:44,875 --> 00:35:49,885
Probably in, in just such weird
situations, uh, after talking about

736
00:35:49,885 --> 00:35:52,435
that we could just run the ball
down their throats and we did.

737
00:35:52,445 --> 00:35:56,305
AY had a lot of great runs,
uh, Duke had some great runs.

738
00:35:57,205 --> 00:36:00,174
Uh, Colton had still a
lot of growing to do.

739
00:36:00,284 --> 00:36:02,594
Uh, the pocket awareness
was really iffy yesterday.

740
00:36:02,885 --> 00:36:06,794
One of those sacks, the, the pocket
looked perfectly fine and he ended up

741
00:36:07,264 --> 00:36:11,944
twisting or spinning to try and scramble,
uh, when the pocket was perfectly fine.

742
00:36:12,345 --> 00:36:14,775
Uh, that's where knowing
you can run can hurt you.

743
00:36:14,775 --> 00:36:17,805
Uh, just having more patience in the
pocket and hopefully he grows in that.

744
00:36:18,005 --> 00:36:20,714
Not saying not to run, but,
uh, he's got a good arm.

745
00:36:20,715 --> 00:36:22,705
And when there's a good
pocket, let's try and use it.

746
00:36:23,304 --> 00:36:28,694
Fumbles when our QB fumble the
ball, uh, from what I looked at when

747
00:36:28,695 --> 00:36:31,955
Grant was going through this for sub
500 and when they fumbled the ball

748
00:36:31,985 --> 00:36:33,525
twice, it's almost a guaranteed loss.

749
00:36:33,525 --> 00:36:36,775
So, uh, he fumbled in the five
games he's played in this year.

750
00:36:36,775 --> 00:36:39,365
So need to fix that, especially
when you're going out against a

751
00:36:39,365 --> 00:36:42,225
team that, uh, had a double digit.

752
00:36:42,885 --> 00:36:44,145
Negative turnover margin.

753
00:36:44,515 --> 00:36:49,295
So gotta clean that up Uh, but that's that
now on the jmu these guys are still in

754
00:36:49,295 --> 00:36:53,685
this even though it's a bit messy So let's
pass pack the castle and get loud ran on.

755
00:36:57,045 --> 00:37:00,764
All right It brings up a good
point with uh aguilar's feet.

756
00:37:00,765 --> 00:37:01,955
We didn't even talk about that.

757
00:37:02,575 --> 00:37:07,005
He had a third Seven carries for 61 yards.

758
00:37:08,685 --> 00:37:13,385
So yeah Every time he
ran off took take off.

759
00:37:13,405 --> 00:37:18,715
It was just like perfectly timed but um I
was really impressed by Aguilar yesterday.

760
00:37:20,505 --> 00:37:21,705
Sorry to cut you off there, Gary.

761
00:37:22,345 --> 00:37:23,005
Oh, you're good.

762
00:37:23,145 --> 00:37:24,565
But Garrick, thank you for the call.

763
00:37:24,695 --> 00:37:28,625
We'll, uh, get the week to
rest back up and then hopefully

764
00:37:28,625 --> 00:37:30,005
pack the castle for JMU.

765
00:37:30,015 --> 00:37:32,505
Like if you're not going to show up to the
JMU game, why, why do you have tickets?

766
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:33,760
What's the point?

767
00:37:34,130 --> 00:37:38,490
So it was announced that students
tickets for JMU sold out.

768
00:37:39,650 --> 00:37:41,790
So yeah, it's been great this year.

769
00:37:43,950 --> 00:37:44,560
Phenomenal.

770
00:37:44,950 --> 00:37:49,440
And I will say this, the progress for
the student section started last season

771
00:37:51,429 --> 00:37:56,340
because we had these same issues last
year where these season tickets were sold

772
00:37:56,700 --> 00:38:01,540
for whatever and they were empty while
we were doing that bowl run last year.

773
00:38:01,870 --> 00:38:03,870
But the student section
continued to be popping.

774
00:38:05,890 --> 00:38:07,310
And it's happening this year again.

775
00:38:07,990 --> 00:38:11,360
We have to get away from all these
corporate tickets that we're giving out.

776
00:38:12,420 --> 00:38:17,890
And we have to, I feel like we need to
just sell single game tickets to Virginia

777
00:38:17,890 --> 00:38:21,449
tech so we can avoid how many empty
seats we have the rest of the season.

778
00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:28,150
Just amp up the price for Virginia
tech as a single game ticket,

779
00:38:28,490 --> 00:38:30,010
charge 200 bucks if you want to.

780
00:38:30,500 --> 00:38:31,240
Oh, they'll sell.

781
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:32,780
They'll sell.

782
00:38:33,290 --> 00:38:36,110
They'll make more money and
we'll still be able to sell those

783
00:38:36,110 --> 00:38:37,330
tickets for the other games,

784
00:38:39,610 --> 00:38:40,930
especially in the years when you get.

785
00:38:41,345 --> 00:38:44,565
Tech, East Carolina, JMU, and Marshall.

786
00:38:45,745 --> 00:38:48,985
Those are fan bases that are going to
travel for them too, but also games

787
00:38:48,995 --> 00:38:50,965
that people here surely care about.

788
00:38:51,695 --> 00:38:54,574
Yeah, because I mean, whatever the price
of a season ticket is, that's what Tech

789
00:38:54,574 --> 00:38:55,845
fans are willing to pay for the one.

790
00:38:56,914 --> 00:38:59,985
And that's pretty consistent all three
years that we've had them in Norfolk.

791
00:39:00,324 --> 00:39:01,474
We've run into this problem.

792
00:39:03,985 --> 00:39:04,435
Yeah.

793
00:39:05,235 --> 00:39:08,115
That's why, if you go on SeatGeek
right now, you can get like

794
00:39:08,145 --> 00:39:10,694
5 tickets to every ODU game.

795
00:39:10,695 --> 00:39:10,715
Yeah.

796
00:39:12,635 --> 00:39:15,455
And I know people are trying to
sell them for 60, 70 bucks a pop.

797
00:39:15,465 --> 00:39:18,725
Like it's not going to happen with the way
that the, uh, with the way it's happening

798
00:39:18,725 --> 00:39:21,394
this year with the tech games is you're
not going to sell them for 70 bucks.

799
00:39:21,394 --> 00:39:22,375
Like it's just not going to happen.

800
00:39:23,734 --> 00:39:24,074
Yeah.

801
00:39:24,405 --> 00:39:26,875
Um, but we do have a sellout officially.

802
00:39:26,955 --> 00:39:31,405
So soon section sold out all the
rest of tickets sold out for GMU.

803
00:39:32,245 --> 00:39:34,555
Uh, hopefully that means we're
going to have an awesome crowd.

804
00:39:35,585 --> 00:39:38,884
I hope we do not see many
streamers in this game.

805
00:39:41,355 --> 00:39:43,845
I hate it so much.

806
00:39:44,325 --> 00:39:49,155
Nothing would make me happier than a
shutout for that game, just because

807
00:39:49,155 --> 00:39:51,645
I wanna see everyone have to carry
the big dumb bags of streamers

808
00:39:51,645 --> 00:39:53,055
back to their car afterwards.

809
00:39:54,675 --> 00:39:55,335
that'd be great.

810
00:39:55,545 --> 00:39:58,425
Some party supply stores, like
why are they refunding and, and

811
00:39:58,425 --> 00:40:00,165
bring back so many streamers.

812
00:40:00,165 --> 00:40:00,675
What happened?

813
00:40:02,855 --> 00:40:03,155
Yeah.

814
00:40:03,155 --> 00:40:05,195
Was it coastal that didn't
let them bring him in?

815
00:40:07,065 --> 00:40:07,785
It might have been.

816
00:40:07,905 --> 00:40:09,135
God, I wish we would do that too.

817
00:40:11,245 --> 00:40:13,415
No, I think it's better to let
them bring them in and have

818
00:40:13,415 --> 00:40:16,025
to take them back with them.

819
00:40:16,025 --> 00:40:20,264
Yeah, it's also a battle you
will not win with the, uh, the

820
00:40:20,264 --> 00:40:22,335
walkthrough gates that they have now.

821
00:40:22,514 --> 00:40:23,345
You'll never find them.

822
00:40:23,925 --> 00:40:24,578
That's true.

823
00:40:24,578 --> 00:40:25,804
That's true.

824
00:40:25,804 --> 00:40:26,164
Yeah.

825
00:40:26,675 --> 00:40:31,625
Um, It's Trish's and I'm glad we
don't do it because it's just trashy.

826
00:40:31,625 --> 00:40:34,115
I mean, you were literally
trashing the stadium.

827
00:40:34,115 --> 00:40:34,624
Yeah.

828
00:40:34,625 --> 00:40:34,935
Yeah.

829
00:40:36,810 --> 00:40:40,170
I think last year it rained after the
game, or the last time they came here,

830
00:40:40,180 --> 00:40:43,000
it rained after, so it was just a mess.

831
00:40:43,970 --> 00:40:44,250
Yep.

832
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:45,999
Yeah.

833
00:40:46,460 --> 00:40:48,849
I've always said, if we lost
every game of the year but beat

834
00:40:48,870 --> 00:40:51,760
JMU, I would still be happy.

835
00:40:52,959 --> 00:40:53,980
I can't stand them.

836
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,630
I said that the year we beat Tech
in 2018, I said, I don't care if we

837
00:41:00,900 --> 00:41:04,750
go 1 11, as long as that one win is
against Virginia Tech, I'm happy.

838
00:41:04,750 --> 00:41:04,804
I'm happy.

839
00:41:05,435 --> 00:41:06,585
That basically happened.

840
00:41:06,965 --> 00:41:07,185
Yeah.

841
00:41:08,075 --> 00:41:08,905
You went a lot that year.

842
00:41:11,655 --> 00:41:11,955
Oh,

843
00:41:14,055 --> 00:41:14,405
all right.

844
00:41:14,505 --> 00:41:17,805
I'm excited about what we could
still, what we can still do here.

845
00:41:17,875 --> 00:41:21,495
Like I'm going to watch the JMU
game on Saturday, see how they look.

846
00:41:21,755 --> 00:41:26,385
Cause they've been kind of what scored
70 against UNC and then their offense

847
00:41:26,385 --> 00:41:27,705
hasn't really looked right since then.

848
00:41:28,245 --> 00:41:28,715
So I don't know.

849
00:41:29,295 --> 00:41:32,295
Like it's, it's, it's like a crap
shoot every week trying to figure these

850
00:41:32,295 --> 00:41:34,015
teams out, but it's so different now.

851
00:41:35,645 --> 00:41:39,935
Alright, so before we get to next week
and get too far down the road, we need

852
00:41:39,935 --> 00:41:43,295
to take a moment to shout out the pride.

853
00:41:43,415 --> 00:41:45,145
So let's do that right now.

854
00:41:46,295 --> 00:41:48,794
Um, if you guys want to grab
a beer or something, this is

855
00:41:48,794 --> 00:41:49,715
the perfect time to do it.

856
00:41:50,534 --> 00:41:51,284
I'm going to do that.

857
00:41:51,884 --> 00:41:55,215
This episode of the Monarchist
Podcast is brought to you by

858
00:41:55,225 --> 00:41:56,665
the Pride of ODU Collective.

859
00:41:57,335 --> 00:42:00,565
Their mission is to elevate the
experience of student athletes through

860
00:42:00,565 --> 00:42:04,004
name, image, and likeness, while
also elevating the fan experience.

861
00:42:04,655 --> 00:42:07,115
If you or your business are
interested in getting involved,

862
00:42:07,605 --> 00:42:12,645
you can reach out to us directly
or go over to the pride of odu.com.

863
00:42:12,945 --> 00:42:16,485
That is the pride of odu.com.

864
00:42:16,805 --> 00:42:17,735
Thank you for listening.

865
00:42:17,795 --> 00:42:18,725
And go Monarchs.

866
00:42:22,315 --> 00:42:24,505
So, as promised, I grabbed my beer.

867
00:42:25,675 --> 00:42:26,335
I was quick.

868
00:42:28,185 --> 00:42:29,925
Yeah, I couldn't run down
the stairs that fast.

869
00:42:29,985 --> 00:42:32,055
Might break an ankle or pull a hammy.

870
00:42:32,535 --> 00:42:36,585
So my, my monarch beers are in my
garage fridge, so I had to just

871
00:42:36,585 --> 00:42:38,525
settle for tapping the Rockies here.

872
00:42:39,780 --> 00:42:40,720
I am out.

873
00:42:41,250 --> 00:42:44,840
I'm, I'm distraught to hear the,
uh, I mean, you know, monarchist

874
00:42:44,860 --> 00:42:46,080
beers, uh, all sold out.

875
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,750
I was hoping to get another, uh,
a couple four packs, uh, anxiously

876
00:42:49,750 --> 00:42:51,670
awaiting the, uh, the new batch.

877
00:42:52,260 --> 00:42:52,720
That's all.

878
00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:58,929
I know a guy that bought two
cases and has some in his bar.

879
00:42:59,509 --> 00:43:03,080
So we can make a trade or something.

880
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:05,540
Hey, we can work something out.

881
00:43:05,930 --> 00:43:06,600
It's well worth it.

882
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:09,140
It's a good beer.

883
00:43:09,220 --> 00:43:12,925
I, I, I don't think we've actually
talked that much about the

884
00:43:12,925 --> 00:43:16,265
beer on here other than telling
people to go buy it, support it.

885
00:43:16,645 --> 00:43:19,305
Money goes back to the collective,
goes back to our players.

886
00:43:20,025 --> 00:43:21,845
Um, but it's a good beer.

887
00:43:22,305 --> 00:43:23,975
Yeah, I enjoyed it for sure.

888
00:43:24,865 --> 00:43:25,534
It's a good beer.

889
00:43:25,534 --> 00:43:31,385
And, uh, uh, afterglow, I mean, what a
spot, man, like the, uh, the support,

890
00:43:31,385 --> 00:43:36,165
the things they do, uh, support, you
know, the collective, uh, ODU in general.

891
00:43:36,705 --> 00:43:42,205
Uh, I mean, it's definitely been, you
know, whether it's the, the coaches,

892
00:43:42,205 --> 00:43:45,895
uh, forget the official name of the
coaches caravan or the events that

893
00:43:45,895 --> 00:43:49,915
have been going on there, but, uh, you
know, really impressed to see not only

894
00:43:49,915 --> 00:43:54,714
a Monarch nation show up, uh, but after
glow do what they do, uh, both brewing

895
00:43:54,714 --> 00:43:57,065
and, uh, supporting ODU athletics.

896
00:43:57,135 --> 00:44:02,235
So we probably had 30 to 40 fans show
up yesterday for the watch party.

897
00:44:03,305 --> 00:44:06,855
I like it, Gary service table
service here is pretty good.

898
00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:11,640
So Brittany, I said, hi, uh, all right.

899
00:44:12,030 --> 00:44:15,870
One of the coolest things I did was
this for this game, they added a new

900
00:44:15,900 --> 00:44:24,119
projector, um, and before the game,
Josh, who's the owner of after glow and

901
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,970
a great guy, he asked me every game,
how many TVs do you want the game on?

902
00:44:29,390 --> 00:44:31,750
I always say every TV, all of them.

903
00:44:34,310 --> 00:44:39,400
So, I mean, we had in our area,
we were in the front area.

904
00:44:39,930 --> 00:44:43,820
We had the projector and then five
TVs all with the ODU game on it.

905
00:44:45,300 --> 00:44:46,030
It was fantastic.

906
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,690
Like you couldn't have found a
better atmosphere to watch the game.

907
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:50,660
Everyone there is into it.

908
00:44:51,090 --> 00:44:52,569
We had ODU chants going.

909
00:44:52,580 --> 00:44:53,719
We had everyone getting loud.

910
00:44:54,180 --> 00:44:55,450
I didn't get called out.

911
00:44:55,530 --> 00:45:02,090
I asked for an ODU chant in the third
quarter and like the next drive we've

912
00:45:02,300 --> 00:45:04,150
got a strip fumble, strip sack fumble.

913
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,590
So I tried to get one going between
the third and fourth quarter.

914
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:13,520
And this lady just said, last time you
asked us to do that, we fumbled the ball.

915
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:14,230
No.

916
00:45:16,390 --> 00:45:20,379
So shout out to her for picking
up on the connection there.

917
00:45:21,500 --> 00:45:25,160
I really appreciate that
type of attention to detail.

918
00:45:26,570 --> 00:45:30,680
So note to self, Mike, Mike can't
lead any more chance going forward.

919
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:31,160
Got it.

920
00:45:33,110 --> 00:45:35,390
Hey, I'm just trying to get people hyped.

921
00:45:35,430 --> 00:45:35,880
That's all.

922
00:45:37,515 --> 00:45:39,785
We just got to get a recording
of it so you can just play

923
00:45:39,785 --> 00:45:41,205
it in afterglow occasionally.

924
00:45:41,215 --> 00:45:42,675
You'd be like, Hey, not me.

925
00:45:45,255 --> 00:45:45,964
I'll make you a deal.

926
00:45:45,965 --> 00:45:47,375
Mike, we win the next two games.

927
00:45:47,444 --> 00:45:48,824
I'll be there for afterglow.

928
00:45:48,895 --> 00:45:50,295
I know it's like an hour from me.

929
00:45:50,734 --> 00:45:52,865
I mean, ODU is an hour from me,
but I come to every home game.

930
00:45:52,865 --> 00:45:55,775
But when it's an away game, it's
easier to just stay home, watch

931
00:45:55,775 --> 00:45:57,175
the game from home with the family.

932
00:45:57,455 --> 00:45:58,625
But we win the next two games.

933
00:45:58,635 --> 00:46:01,145
I'll be there for the watch party
for the Arkansas State game.

934
00:46:01,615 --> 00:46:03,145
Beer on me, that's what I heard.

935
00:46:03,295 --> 00:46:05,555
Yeah, at least one beer on
me, I don't know, we'll see.

936
00:46:06,075 --> 00:46:09,745
If we win the next two games,
I will pay for your golf that

937
00:46:09,745 --> 00:46:11,555
day before we go to Afterglow.

938
00:46:11,985 --> 00:46:13,365
That's what I'm talking about.

939
00:46:13,615 --> 00:46:14,615
There's my guy.

940
00:46:15,735 --> 00:46:16,825
We're doing that.

941
00:46:17,645 --> 00:46:20,120
I might get in trouble,
to be fair, but We'll see.

942
00:46:22,100 --> 00:46:23,910
Yeah, honey, I'm going to
be gone for eight hours.

943
00:46:23,910 --> 00:46:26,010
All day.

944
00:46:26,020 --> 00:46:27,200
Just like when we tailgate,

945
00:46:29,460 --> 00:46:30,320
but it's important.

946
00:46:30,330 --> 00:46:32,050
We might win seven games.

947
00:46:33,219 --> 00:46:33,989
Be pretty cool.

948
00:46:36,130 --> 00:46:36,400
Yeah.

949
00:46:36,470 --> 00:46:41,910
It's, uh, I wouldn't say quite the
turnaround, uh, considering the, the, the

950
00:46:41,910 --> 00:46:46,620
teams we played to start the year, but,
uh, be able to have seven wins, uh, with

951
00:46:46,620 --> 00:46:50,260
the strength of schedule we have again,
like we've got a football team boys.

952
00:46:51,005 --> 00:46:55,695
So, uh, definitely excited, uh, looking
forward, uh, hopefully that golf, uh,

953
00:46:55,715 --> 00:46:59,495
before after glow against Arkansas state,
but yeah, have a tough game next week

954
00:46:59,495 --> 00:47:02,265
against JMU to, uh, two weeks away.

955
00:47:02,265 --> 00:47:02,695
Sorry.

956
00:47:03,055 --> 00:47:04,425
Next schedule week.

957
00:47:04,775 --> 00:47:05,395
I should say.

958
00:47:05,865 --> 00:47:08,995
Uh, yeah, but I know the boys
are going to be up for it.

959
00:47:09,544 --> 00:47:14,785
And I think Marshall's even tougher this
season than JMU right now, and they're

960
00:47:14,795 --> 00:47:15,995
playing really good ball right now.

961
00:47:16,555 --> 00:47:19,195
They are, but it's JVU, and you
know how that's going to go.

962
00:47:19,245 --> 00:47:22,365
That game is going to be a fight,
and it's going to be a tough one.

963
00:47:22,365 --> 00:47:25,435
No matter what, no matter how
good or bad they are, every year,

964
00:47:25,435 --> 00:47:26,725
that game is going to be tough.

965
00:47:28,505 --> 00:47:32,165
All right, so, Gary, what
were you about to add there?

966
00:47:32,894 --> 00:47:36,885
I was just thinking, like, last year, it
was, what's, what a lot of JMU fans would

967
00:47:36,885 --> 00:47:39,045
say, the best team that they've ever had.

968
00:47:39,705 --> 00:47:43,024
And we went up there, and we're
one play away from beating them

969
00:47:43,024 --> 00:47:44,445
at their place on Halloween night.

970
00:47:44,510 --> 00:47:50,470
So, yeah, I mean, it's, yeah, I think that
the blowout on the first one was kind of,

971
00:47:50,580 --> 00:47:54,640
you know, whatever, bad, bad year for us,
but when we're on even footing, man, that

972
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,400
game could, could become a lot more fun.

973
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,179
And I will say this,

974
00:48:01,660 --> 00:48:05,729
they've gotten so used to winning their
fans, their students all left at halftime

975
00:48:05,730 --> 00:48:08,580
to go party in a one position game.

976
00:48:10,980 --> 00:48:15,370
I can guarantee our students will not
leave at halftime if it's a one game.

977
00:48:16,460 --> 00:48:18,870
I don't think our students will
leave if we're beating them by 30.

978
00:48:20,330 --> 00:48:21,070
I really don't.

979
00:48:21,530 --> 00:48:23,100
Those guys have been awesome this year.

980
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:25,430
Yeah, they have.

981
00:48:27,350 --> 00:48:31,089
And I think whoever has reached out
to these students to get them hyped

982
00:48:31,090 --> 00:48:35,009
up for these games and get them
to be involved needs some credit.

983
00:48:35,079 --> 00:48:42,280
Um, I know student engagement services
is involved there, but they've whatever

984
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:46,920
you've done to get these students excited
about football again, Cause there was

985
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,820
a, a, a lull there where we weren't
really bringing in the students anymore.

986
00:48:52,660 --> 00:48:58,250
We got them re engaged and it's
got me excited for if we can turn

987
00:48:58,250 --> 00:49:02,330
this to like build on what we are
right now and take that next step

988
00:49:02,389 --> 00:49:05,520
up, how good our crowds could be.

989
00:49:05,970 --> 00:49:06,330
Yeah.

990
00:49:08,210 --> 00:49:11,040
Cause next year we won't have a
Virginia Tech on the schedule to

991
00:49:11,050 --> 00:49:12,880
be like, to hoard all the tickets.

992
00:49:13,870 --> 00:49:18,680
I mean, next year bowl game this
year with a freshman quarterback.

993
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:20,190
Upstate, I think.

994
00:49:25,380 --> 00:49:28,570
Yeah, you're talking about a freshman
quarterback coming back next year.

995
00:49:28,970 --> 00:49:32,159
No, I'm saying like, if we, if we win
a bowl game this year with a freshman

996
00:49:32,159 --> 00:49:35,199
quarterback and then we come in the
next year with that type of hype,

997
00:49:35,709 --> 00:49:38,750
everybody's going to be, is going
to want tickets, want to be here.

998
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,680
So, I mean, I, you know, it's
an exciting time right now.

999
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:44,200
We do have a quarterback.

1000
00:49:44,210 --> 00:49:44,230
Yeah.

1001
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:49,760
So, I mean, the last few years, we've
been kind of a defensive team, right?

1002
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:51,450
I think we can all say that.

1003
00:49:53,659 --> 00:49:54,660
Defense is awesome.

1004
00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:56,099
You need it to win games.

1005
00:49:57,380 --> 00:49:58,740
But offense sells tickets.

1006
00:50:00,170 --> 00:50:00,390
Yeah.

1007
00:50:01,070 --> 00:50:01,390
Yeah.

1008
00:50:03,610 --> 00:50:06,210
And Colton Joseph, if he continues
to play like this, he's going

1009
00:50:06,210 --> 00:50:07,410
to sell a lot of tickets.

1010
00:50:07,410 --> 00:50:08,480
He's going to sell some tickets.

1011
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:12,920
Go ahead, Gary.

1012
00:50:13,965 --> 00:50:16,965
He's also going to help quite a bit
getting skill position players in

1013
00:50:16,965 --> 00:50:19,065
the portal in a couple of months.

1014
00:50:19,065 --> 00:50:19,545
That's true.

1015
00:50:21,535 --> 00:50:21,745
Yeah.

1016
00:50:21,825 --> 00:50:23,645
If you want to play with a
guy, you know, you the ball.

1017
00:50:24,435 --> 00:50:24,635
Yep.

1018
00:50:25,315 --> 00:50:28,954
And the offense that we run, you
know, coach Decker with, uh, what

1019
00:50:28,954 --> 00:50:31,574
is this year three, year two.

1020
00:50:31,994 --> 00:50:32,294
Yeah.

1021
00:50:32,874 --> 00:50:36,804
So year two, uh, I mean, I know we had
a lot of turnover, but still, you know,

1022
00:50:36,804 --> 00:50:40,664
seeing what the offense is capable of,
you know, now we have those guys, those.

1023
00:50:41,295 --> 00:50:46,715
Uh, the skill guys in there, uh, making
plays again, uh, continue this momentum.

1024
00:50:46,715 --> 00:50:50,685
And, uh, you know, obviously with
the quarterback play we have and,

1025
00:50:50,694 --> 00:50:53,505
you know, get some more weapons, you
know, heading into the next season.

1026
00:50:53,984 --> 00:50:58,824
Again, it's, you know, I've probably said
it 26 times today is, uh, it's exciting.

1027
00:50:59,035 --> 00:51:03,695
Obviously our record isn't as exciting
as we all want it to be, but, uh, we

1028
00:51:03,695 --> 00:51:05,415
played some really good football teams.

1029
00:51:05,525 --> 00:51:09,114
Uh, but you know, the pieces
are starting to click, uh, which

1030
00:51:09,114 --> 00:51:10,595
is, is damn exciting, I'd say.

1031
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:11,660
I'll say it again.

1032
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:18,670
Uh, to add on to that a little bit
is, uh, the coaches got crushed for

1033
00:51:18,670 --> 00:51:20,050
the recruiting last couple of years.

1034
00:51:20,530 --> 00:51:24,509
We're finishing like the bottom
four teams every year in recruiting.

1035
00:51:25,450 --> 00:51:29,329
And it shows you how bad those
ratings are, because this is not

1036
00:51:29,330 --> 00:51:32,459
a bottom four team in the Sunbelt.

1037
00:51:32,460 --> 00:51:34,070
You can't do that without good recruiting.

1038
00:51:36,810 --> 00:51:41,349
And we're doing it in a period where we
are seeing record turnover every season.

1039
00:51:42,470 --> 00:51:45,340
So these coaches have a
pretty good eye for talent.

1040
00:51:46,270 --> 00:51:46,570
Yeah.

1041
00:51:47,580 --> 00:51:53,720
247 and on three are missing because we're
picking up guys that no one knows about

1042
00:51:54,530 --> 00:51:56,199
and they're having phenomenal years here.

1043
00:51:58,810 --> 00:52:02,180
Yeah, it's, uh, I've talked about
this with a couple of people like

1044
00:52:02,180 --> 00:52:05,070
the NIL, the transfer portal, right?

1045
00:52:05,555 --> 00:52:08,685
Obviously, you have your core recruitment
of high school guys, and then you're

1046
00:52:08,685 --> 00:52:10,145
recruiting in the transfer portal.

1047
00:52:10,145 --> 00:52:11,415
All the transfers.

1048
00:52:11,525 --> 00:52:14,975
Uh, you know, I wouldn't say
it's a crapshoot, but there are a

1049
00:52:14,975 --> 00:52:18,635
lot more variables with the team
turnover across college football.

1050
00:52:18,845 --> 00:52:21,805
I think that's why we have such a more
competitive landscape is there is that

1051
00:52:21,805 --> 00:52:26,715
turnover, but, you know, to your point,
Mike, our coaches have something figured

1052
00:52:26,715 --> 00:52:29,215
out because we had what 60 plus last year.

1053
00:52:29,225 --> 00:52:31,465
50 was a 57 this year.

1054
00:52:31,785 --> 00:52:33,715
New roster faces.

1055
00:52:34,195 --> 00:52:37,435
Uh, and okay, it took us a
couple of weeks to put things

1056
00:52:37,435 --> 00:52:39,095
together to figure things out.

1057
00:52:39,425 --> 00:52:41,635
But we have a competitive football
team and you look at some of the other

1058
00:52:41,635 --> 00:52:44,394
teams that go the other way, right?

1059
00:52:44,395 --> 00:52:47,965
Sure, they may have a highly touted class,
but when they put all the pieces together,

1060
00:52:47,965 --> 00:52:51,135
they're not fielding a competitive
or more competitive football team.

1061
00:52:51,654 --> 00:52:54,555
Uh, so it's definitely excited
to see, you know, two out of

1062
00:52:54,555 --> 00:52:56,085
two with the high turnover.

1063
00:52:56,085 --> 00:52:58,955
We're still putting out, you know,
highly competitive football team.

1064
00:52:59,345 --> 00:53:02,295
Uh, you know, I'd say a more
competitive football team this year.

1065
00:53:02,295 --> 00:53:04,810
So, yeah, Uh, you know, the
coaches hats off to them.

1066
00:53:05,090 --> 00:53:05,480
Sure.

1067
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:09,660
The, the press and all of that from a
ratings perspective isn't as, uh, you

1068
00:53:09,660 --> 00:53:14,399
know, glowing, but they're, they're
obviously doing something 22, one

1069
00:53:14,399 --> 00:53:19,580
score games in the last two seasons
with one with the worst, one of the

1070
00:53:19,590 --> 00:53:21,599
worst recruiting classes year to year

1071
00:53:23,940 --> 00:53:26,409
that shows you not to really
look at those ratings at all,

1072
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:28,910
because we're proven them wrong.

1073
00:53:28,910 --> 00:53:33,850
And, you know, 22, one score games.

1074
00:53:34,390 --> 00:53:35,960
Uh, I think if we looked at.

1075
00:53:36,300 --> 00:53:40,590
You know, the prior seven years of,
uh, ODU football, uh, you know, how

1076
00:53:40,630 --> 00:53:49,550
many one score games there were, uh,
again, our, our, our sked or like the

1077
00:53:49,550 --> 00:53:54,110
results haven't been what we all hope
for being, you know, ODU fans, but

1078
00:53:54,110 --> 00:53:59,050
like we're fighting, that's, you know,
that's a step in the right direction.

1079
00:53:59,310 --> 00:54:01,280
Uh, and again, just putting
all those pieces together,

1080
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:02,650
making all those key plays.

1081
00:54:03,540 --> 00:54:06,430
Could have gone a lot of
different ways with those 22.

1082
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:07,440
I don't know what our record is.

1083
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:14,370
I know it's not positive, but 10 and
12 and the ones we made some plays, but

1084
00:54:14,370 --> 00:54:17,759
like, I think we all know in some of
those games, we've watched those plays

1085
00:54:17,780 --> 00:54:19,789
not be made or those mistakes be made.

1086
00:54:19,789 --> 00:54:23,740
That just swung it like, but we're
right there, which, you know, I'd rather

1087
00:54:23,740 --> 00:54:25,460
us win, but like, we're right there.

1088
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:32,850
And I'll say since 2017 to now,
I can imagine we're probably

1089
00:54:32,850 --> 00:54:34,410
not over 30 one score games.

1090
00:54:38,275 --> 00:54:41,595
No, probably 22 of those
are in the last two seasons.

1091
00:54:42,165 --> 00:54:42,655
Yeah.

1092
00:54:42,935 --> 00:54:45,475
Sounds like an excellent data
point to dig up after the call.

1093
00:54:45,475 --> 00:54:45,935
Doesn't it?

1094
00:54:46,914 --> 00:54:48,315
Does, um,

1095
00:54:50,385 --> 00:54:53,924
but I think everyone needs to kind
of take a step back and look at what

1096
00:54:54,595 --> 00:54:59,075
work he's turned this program into
these last two seasons from where we

1097
00:54:59,075 --> 00:55:02,385
were from 2017 to when he was hired.

1098
00:55:03,285 --> 00:55:05,854
And even like those first two seasons
with him, cause there was a lot of

1099
00:55:05,865 --> 00:55:07,074
games accounts, you'll say that.

1100
00:55:07,665 --> 00:55:11,965
We had no chance in and now
we're in a better conference

1101
00:55:12,125 --> 00:55:13,515
and every game is a battle.

1102
00:55:15,405 --> 00:55:19,725
We're, we're, uh, quickly
changing how people look at,

1103
00:55:20,295 --> 00:55:21,515
look at Old Dominion football.

1104
00:55:23,035 --> 00:55:25,744
We used to be like, uh,
they're probably an easy win.

1105
00:55:26,934 --> 00:55:29,385
Now everyone's like, all right,
we're gonna, they're gonna, they're

1106
00:55:29,385 --> 00:55:30,745
in for a battle when they know it.

1107
00:55:31,625 --> 00:55:31,855
Yep.

1108
00:55:32,645 --> 00:55:35,455
Next step forward is going to be.

1109
00:55:36,530 --> 00:55:38,080
We can't, we can't play with it.

1110
00:55:39,660 --> 00:55:44,530
And I feel it coming every time I watch
this team play now, because it's close.

1111
00:55:44,550 --> 00:55:46,670
We're so close to being that team.

1112
00:55:47,540 --> 00:55:51,029
But you've, you've seen now what
it can be with that Thursday night

1113
00:55:51,050 --> 00:55:52,059
game against Georgia Southern.

1114
00:55:52,879 --> 00:55:55,900
Like when we are executing those
little things, we can absolutely

1115
00:55:55,900 --> 00:55:57,390
blow out teams that are not bad.

1116
00:55:57,390 --> 00:55:59,910
Like Georgia Southern, it's
still one loss in the Sunbelt.

1117
00:55:59,940 --> 00:56:00,190
Right.

1118
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,260
And we just dismantled
them on national TV.

1119
00:56:03,665 --> 00:56:06,975
So it's like it's there, but before we
can ever get to that point, like with

1120
00:56:06,975 --> 00:56:09,705
what we did with Georgia Southern,
it was like, all right, we get ahead.

1121
00:56:09,705 --> 00:56:13,195
We went by touchdown, but like six and
six and then we lose the ball game.

1122
00:56:13,555 --> 00:56:16,704
Now it's like, okay, I feel, I would
feel really good saying next year,

1123
00:56:16,704 --> 00:56:19,955
like six and six is going to be that
checkbox for like the last three games

1124
00:56:19,994 --> 00:56:21,595
of the season or something like that.

1125
00:56:22,245 --> 00:56:26,105
But considering the difficulty of
the schedule, the couple of games

1126
00:56:26,105 --> 00:56:27,765
we dropped, we, we shouldn't have.

1127
00:56:28,345 --> 00:56:31,625
We still have three games
to go accomplish, like all

1128
00:56:31,625 --> 00:56:32,985
the realistic goals we had.

1129
00:56:33,165 --> 00:56:36,675
Win the East, play in the Sun Belt
title game, go to a higher end bowl.

1130
00:56:37,145 --> 00:56:38,754
We can still do those things
if we go three and up.

1131
00:56:38,895 --> 00:56:42,135
Like, we need a little help, but a
small amount of help to get there.

1132
00:56:42,464 --> 00:56:45,684
So I'll take that where the last three
games of the season mean something.

1133
00:56:46,084 --> 00:56:47,605
They're really, really important games.

1134
00:56:48,205 --> 00:56:51,915
When you look at a lot of other teams
that are allegedly better than us,

1135
00:56:51,915 --> 00:56:55,520
either at the Group of Five or Power
Four area, and They're like, all right,

1136
00:56:55,610 --> 00:56:58,260
who's going to burn their couple of red
shirt games before we go get pounded

1137
00:56:58,260 --> 00:56:59,840
by 70, you know, to end our season?

1138
00:57:02,370 --> 00:57:02,800
Yeah.

1139
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:03,380
Um,

1140
00:57:05,860 --> 00:57:07,170
Coles just changed everything.

1141
00:57:07,189 --> 00:57:08,300
I don't I got it.

1142
00:57:08,349 --> 00:57:11,700
I said earlier, but it changes
the whole outlook of what this

1143
00:57:11,700 --> 00:57:13,460
program is moving forward.

1144
00:57:15,770 --> 00:57:17,610
I don't want to overstate it, but

1145
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,900
it's nice having a quarterback
you can rely on to make big place.

1146
00:57:25,045 --> 00:57:25,745
Yes, it is.

1147
00:57:25,765 --> 00:57:26,665
He can throw the ball.

1148
00:57:27,675 --> 00:57:32,115
He sure can throw the ball and his
lack of hesitation on the short throws

1149
00:57:33,005 --> 00:57:37,064
changes our offense because we all
complained about bubble screens for

1150
00:57:37,065 --> 00:57:42,624
the last few years and now the bubble
screen is a useful weapon with cold.

1151
00:57:43,194 --> 00:57:44,845
Yeah, when you throw a
dart, that's what happens.

1152
00:57:45,575 --> 00:57:49,065
It's a rocket coming out of there
and you don't want someone's chest.

1153
00:57:49,315 --> 00:57:50,185
Yeah, it's.

1154
00:57:50,185 --> 00:57:50,354
Yeah.

1155
00:57:51,885 --> 00:57:53,715
It's now a play that I don't mind seeing.

1156
00:57:54,635 --> 00:57:55,245
Mm hmm.

1157
00:57:55,595 --> 00:57:59,695
Yeah, I mean, I think we've said it for a
few years, but if you give Isaiah space,

1158
00:58:00,515 --> 00:58:01,535
he's going to make something happen.

1159
00:58:02,395 --> 00:58:06,784
And that's what Colton is able to do is
to give him space because if the ball

1160
00:58:06,804 --> 00:58:10,115
takes a little bit longer to get there,
then they can get to the they can get

1161
00:58:10,125 --> 00:58:12,605
in it close at least and make a tackle.

1162
00:58:13,045 --> 00:58:15,575
But he's got a little bit of space on him.

1163
00:58:15,865 --> 00:58:18,434
And man, you can fly and.

1164
00:58:19,430 --> 00:58:21,510
It takes a strong arm to
do that on a bubble screen.

1165
00:58:23,190 --> 00:58:26,610
I know it's late in the show to say
this, but on Tuesday, I will be talking

1166
00:58:26,610 --> 00:58:29,050
to Ricky and Colton about Colton.

1167
00:58:29,570 --> 00:58:32,040
So both interviews will
be focused on Colton.

1168
00:58:32,770 --> 00:58:37,640
So if you have any questions that
you want asked, send them in, uh,

1169
00:58:37,669 --> 00:58:39,800
send a DM, send an email, whatever.

1170
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,460
If it's a good question, I'll include it.

1171
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,840
If it's a bad question, I'll
just act like I never got it.

1172
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:47,299
Um, send it in.

1173
00:58:48,950 --> 00:58:53,830
I want to get answers to
questions you guys have as fans.

1174
00:58:53,930 --> 00:58:58,169
Um, stuff that I care about might
not be something you care about.

1175
00:58:58,170 --> 00:58:58,960
So send it in.

1176
00:58:59,660 --> 00:59:00,759
We'll make it work.

1177
00:59:02,220 --> 00:59:03,640
Um, yeah.

1178
00:59:04,789 --> 00:59:07,500
The other thing I'll shout
out before we hop off of here.

1179
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,380
The JMU game is also our
annual Toys for Tots game.

1180
00:59:10,770 --> 00:59:13,230
Uh, so be paying attention to
all of our social media channels.

1181
00:59:13,230 --> 00:59:15,510
We'll have a link where
you can donate online.

1182
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,480
You can bring a new unwrapped toy.

1183
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:22,280
Uh, to the game against JMU, uh,
we'll have the, uh, amphibious

1184
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:23,710
vehicles on 49th street.

1185
00:59:23,710 --> 00:59:27,020
We'll have a few other pickup locations
on Kaufman mall and in the blue lot.

1186
00:59:27,459 --> 00:59:29,650
Uh, we broke our record again last year.

1187
00:59:29,650 --> 00:59:32,039
We're just hoping to
continue to do that again.

1188
00:59:32,369 --> 00:59:34,150
There'll be a lot of really
cool things on display.

1189
00:59:34,150 --> 00:59:37,590
So pay attention to our social
media, uh, odmonarchist.

1190
00:59:37,590 --> 00:59:37,880
com.

1191
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:40,250
We'll have a lot of info there
as we get closer to the game,

1192
00:59:40,250 --> 00:59:42,080
but start thinking Toys for Tots.

1193
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:43,370
It'll be here in two weeks.

1194
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,300
And before we go, thank
you for adding that, Gary.

1195
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:53,225
Um, If you don't want to bring a
toy, cash or Venmo is accepted.

1196
00:59:54,195 --> 00:59:58,845
Um, so just pitch in any way
you can, tell your JMU friends

1197
00:59:58,855 --> 01:00:00,555
that are coming, bring a toy.

1198
01:00:01,515 --> 01:00:05,905
It's all goes to the kids in the
757, which is the best part of it.

1199
01:00:05,925 --> 01:00:09,635
When you donate to Toys for Tots
with the Monarchist, you know

1200
01:00:09,635 --> 01:00:11,675
those toys are staying in the 757.

1201
01:00:12,445 --> 01:00:16,455
So kids that could be ODU fans and
students in the future, or even

1202
01:00:16,555 --> 01:00:18,695
athletes, Are getting those toys.

1203
01:00:19,015 --> 01:00:23,445
So, but before we go, I want
to ask you guys one question.

1204
01:00:23,485 --> 01:00:28,025
So we have a bi week this week,
which means you get free reign

1205
01:00:28,025 --> 01:00:29,395
on what games you want to watch.

1206
01:00:31,470 --> 01:00:37,680
We'll start with Gary because he is,
uh, the biggest degenerate of all of us.

1207
01:00:37,980 --> 01:00:41,610
Uh, he's already got all of his games
for Sunday or Saturday lined up.

1208
01:00:43,110 --> 01:00:45,420
What game are you most
excited about on Saturday?

1209
01:00:46,490 --> 01:00:48,830
Well, I'm going to rule out
the JMU Georgia state game.

1210
01:00:48,830 --> 01:00:51,800
Cause everyone for ODU you should
watch that just to get a little

1211
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:53,210
advanced scout scout on JMU.

1212
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,770
I'm gonna go South Carolina at Vanderbilt.

1213
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:01,900
I wanna see what Diego Pavia
does against South Carolina.

1214
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:06,240
Should be a really fun game and actually
mean something in the SEC standing.

1215
01:01:06,250 --> 01:01:09,100
So, that'll be mine 4 15 on Saturday.

1216
01:01:09,100 --> 01:01:09,720
SC Vandy.

1217
01:01:11,530 --> 01:01:14,100
I'm gonna give Jonathan and Jarod
another minute because I feel like

1218
01:01:14,150 --> 01:01:15,590
they're still looking at the schedule.

1219
01:01:15,590 --> 01:01:17,220
No, I already know who I'm going for.

1220
01:01:17,220 --> 01:01:18,780
I was looking to see if I had any extras.

1221
01:01:18,845 --> 01:01:22,885
My entire life have been an Indiana fan.

1222
01:01:22,885 --> 01:01:25,235
I'm a Colts fan, right?

1223
01:01:25,235 --> 01:01:25,955
I'm from Indiana.

1224
01:01:25,955 --> 01:01:26,775
I was born there.

1225
01:01:26,775 --> 01:01:29,505
I didn't live there long, but I got a
lot of family, the family lived there.

1226
01:01:29,745 --> 01:01:32,615
We had a room in my house growing
up that was painted cream and

1227
01:01:32,615 --> 01:01:35,505
crimson, and it had a light switch
that said, Indiana turns me on.

1228
01:01:35,505 --> 01:01:36,615
Purdue turns me off.

1229
01:01:37,045 --> 01:01:37,265
All right.

1230
01:01:37,265 --> 01:01:40,115
So we're, my dad is a massive Indiana guy.

1231
01:01:40,465 --> 01:01:43,765
Uh, and Indiana is currently
number eight play in Michigan.

1232
01:01:44,375 --> 01:01:45,335
That's a big one.

1233
01:01:45,395 --> 01:01:46,505
It's at Indiana.

1234
01:01:46,775 --> 01:01:47,665
I, I'm excited.

1235
01:01:47,665 --> 01:01:49,715
I'm probably going to go to my
dad's house and watch it with them.

1236
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:54,690
Um, it's going to be interesting next
year when we play Indiana, because

1237
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,790
good Lord, how can I root against them?

1238
01:01:56,790 --> 01:02:00,340
I've been on my team my whole life, but
I'm going to root against them, obviously.

1239
01:02:00,370 --> 01:02:03,650
My dad, on the other hand, it's
going to be a tough sell to get

1240
01:02:03,650 --> 01:02:04,890
him to root for ODU in that game.

1241
01:02:04,890 --> 01:02:06,300
So we'll see what happens.

1242
01:02:06,310 --> 01:02:10,180
But, uh, this weekend, Indiana, Michigan,
I'm all in on Indiana right now.

1243
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,740
Hopefully they can pull out
the national championship.

1244
01:02:12,740 --> 01:02:13,920
That'd be incredible.

1245
01:02:13,950 --> 01:02:16,840
Even though their coach
is an ex JMU coach.

1246
01:02:17,570 --> 01:02:19,620
That's a tough one, but
it is still Indiana.

1247
01:02:19,620 --> 01:02:21,670
So for me, that's the one I'm watching.

1248
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:23,410
Cignetti.

1249
01:02:25,100 --> 01:02:28,480
It's frustrating, but like, he's not
JNU anymore, so I can live with it.

1250
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,673
I mean, it's crazy.

1251
01:02:32,673 --> 01:02:36,580
The guy came in first press conference.

1252
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,610
They're asking him like,
how do you expect to

1253
01:02:43,970 --> 01:02:44,540
Google me?

1254
01:02:45,550 --> 01:02:46,330
All I do is win.

1255
01:02:46,330 --> 01:02:49,230
Like the cockiest response.

1256
01:02:49,650 --> 01:02:51,920
And he's followed it up
with the catch it up, man.

1257
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:59,210
They are dismantling teams And uh, I
gotta use this moment to shut up sean

1258
01:02:59,220 --> 01:03:06,130
asbury's Former monarch is having
a fantastic Yeah Terry jones jr.

1259
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:10,860
Also out there on that roster as well
in the secondary He's not getting

1260
01:03:10,860 --> 01:03:13,755
much playing time there No, he is not.

1261
01:03:14,195 --> 01:03:17,975
I think my favorite Cignetti quote so
far, though, I think Kim Rivers two or

1262
01:03:17,975 --> 01:03:21,425
three weeks ago, they went out on the
West Coast and played one of those.

1263
01:03:22,005 --> 01:03:25,315
I think teams is now in the ACC and they
were asking about the travel schedule.

1264
01:03:25,315 --> 01:03:26,725
Like, does it mess you up going out there?

1265
01:03:26,725 --> 01:03:28,835
He goes, Oh, no, I try to
leave as late as possible.

1266
01:03:29,340 --> 01:03:32,880
We do our walkthroughs, we fly out
there, we get off, we eat dinner,

1267
01:03:33,020 --> 01:03:35,450
we go to sleep, we wake up in the
morning, kick their ass, and come home.

1268
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,100
Like he said that in a post game press
conference, like right after the game.

1269
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:39,470
He's like, all right.

1270
01:03:40,330 --> 01:03:42,590
I mean, as long as he's winning,
he can say whatever he wants.

1271
01:03:42,590 --> 01:03:46,580
And he's a two touchdown favorite
over Michigan on Saturday.

1272
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:47,650
That's crazy.

1273
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,410
My entire lifetime, Indiana is
not a football school, but man.

1274
01:03:52,660 --> 01:03:56,790
A year after they won the national
championship, by the way, or right?

1275
01:03:57,530 --> 01:03:58,200
Michigan, yeah.

1276
01:03:58,570 --> 01:03:59,320
Yeah, exactly.

1277
01:04:00,700 --> 01:04:02,720
Not even a full year
technically after, right?

1278
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,010
There's the next season
and that's, that's crazy.

1279
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:07,050
And then they got Ohio state next week.

1280
01:04:07,050 --> 01:04:10,980
So are you ready?

1281
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:12,310
Oh, I'm ready.

1282
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:18,100
First, I will be watching the Indiana game
just so I can, uh, you know, talk crap

1283
01:04:18,110 --> 01:04:23,580
to Jarod, uh, but it never, ever ends.

1284
01:04:24,250 --> 01:04:25,300
Uh, no, they're playing.

1285
01:04:25,490 --> 01:04:28,010
I mean, it's exciting to see
what signet he's doing there.

1286
01:04:28,110 --> 01:04:33,305
Uh, I'll call them the underdog are
coming out of left field, right?

1287
01:04:33,425 --> 01:04:35,215
The, the non football school competing.

1288
01:04:35,655 --> 01:04:41,175
Uh, but within the Sunbelt Marshall JMU,
uh, you know, you could say Marshall has

1289
01:04:41,175 --> 01:04:47,025
a, uh, easier, uh, team ahead, but just
to see how they perform, uh, knowing we

1290
01:04:47,025 --> 01:04:50,695
have them in the following weeks, but, uh,
Ole Miss Georgia is going to be exciting.

1291
01:04:50,695 --> 01:04:55,995
I think, you know, Ole Miss lining up
the scoreboard and Georgia, uh, still

1292
01:04:55,995 --> 01:04:58,610
winning, but Having to come on late there.

1293
01:04:58,610 --> 01:05:00,250
I think that's going
to be an exciting game.

1294
01:05:00,460 --> 01:05:03,520
Uh, curious to see which old miss
we get the, uh, in that game.

1295
01:05:03,530 --> 01:05:07,950
But, uh, man, college football,
just pretty much every weekend

1296
01:05:07,950 --> 01:05:12,630
has just been full of good games,
uh, good watching, whether you are

1297
01:05:12,630 --> 01:05:16,000
interested in the team or not, like,
uh, it's just been a crazy year.

1298
01:05:16,230 --> 01:05:19,610
Uh, and as a fan, uh, it's been
a really enjoyable one, I think.

1299
01:05:20,780 --> 01:05:20,950
Yeah.

1300
01:05:20,990 --> 01:05:21,380
All right.

1301
01:05:21,410 --> 01:05:25,750
Mike, you stole on a monitor
there, John, that whole Miss

1302
01:05:25,750 --> 01:05:27,230
Georgia game is going to be sick.

1303
01:05:28,130 --> 01:05:29,310
Gary, what would you rather say?

1304
01:05:29,930 --> 01:05:32,170
Well, I was going to say, I
left one bunny on the board.

1305
01:05:32,180 --> 01:05:34,500
So, Mike, if you don't get it,
I'll clean it up after you.

1306
01:05:34,500 --> 01:05:34,880
All right.

1307
01:05:34,930 --> 01:05:40,970
So, my Sunbelt Game of the Week is
going to be Louisiana at Arkansas State.

1308
01:05:41,790 --> 01:05:44,250
The winner of this game controls the West.

1309
01:05:45,070 --> 01:05:46,640
We obviously face Arkansas State.

1310
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:52,100
So, it's going to be a good
look into what we're facing in

1311
01:05:52,100 --> 01:05:53,180
our last week of the season.

1312
01:05:53,310 --> 01:05:55,270
But, it's just going to be a good game.

1313
01:05:55,350 --> 01:05:56,530
Because both teams are playing.

1314
01:05:57,035 --> 01:05:57,505
Very well.

1315
01:05:57,505 --> 01:06:02,065
Louisiana has been phenomenal
considering what they've gone

1316
01:06:02,065 --> 01:06:03,355
through the last couple of seasons.

1317
01:06:04,105 --> 01:06:09,025
Um, so I'm just as excited to see that
one, but my other game that wasn't

1318
01:06:09,025 --> 01:06:10,725
mentioned, it's another sec game.

1319
01:06:10,745 --> 01:06:15,025
This again, I am an SEC fan
with my Tennessee connections,

1320
01:06:16,185 --> 01:06:21,995
Alabama, LSU in Baton Rouge,
that game is going to be bonkers.

1321
01:06:22,005 --> 01:06:25,025
It's a night game in Baton
Rouge, which are always awesome.

1322
01:06:26,575 --> 01:06:27,745
And, uh, both teams are.

1323
01:06:28,260 --> 01:06:30,760
Fighting to stay in that race in the sec.

1324
01:06:31,690 --> 01:06:33,870
Um, it's going to be a good one.

1325
01:06:33,870 --> 01:06:37,600
I think that's a playoff elimination game.

1326
01:06:38,750 --> 01:06:39,930
I think the losers out.

1327
01:06:40,610 --> 01:06:41,990
Yeah, that's fair.

1328
01:06:43,570 --> 01:06:44,660
Did I get your bunny?

1329
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:45,980
That was the bunny.

1330
01:06:45,980 --> 01:06:46,390
Yes.

1331
01:06:48,100 --> 01:06:48,500
Yes.

1332
01:06:48,500 --> 01:06:50,090
You're interested in temple to lane.

1333
01:06:51,620 --> 01:06:51,920
Yeah.

1334
01:06:55,570 --> 01:06:56,800
But don't forget.

1335
01:06:57,185 --> 01:07:00,415
The real Tuesday and Wednesday
night football starts this week.

1336
01:07:00,745 --> 01:07:04,685
So if you're looking for something to
do on Tuesday and ignoring everything

1337
01:07:04,685 --> 01:07:07,055
else, NACTION is here to help you out.

1338
01:07:07,055 --> 01:07:08,715
Tuesday and Wednesday is back.

1339
01:07:10,995 --> 01:07:16,605
By the way, before we end the
show, I need to just say Tulsa.

1340
01:07:18,275 --> 01:07:19,775
What the hell were you doing yesterday?

1341
01:07:21,335 --> 01:07:28,890
You were favored and you
lost 59 What is going on?

1342
01:07:31,590 --> 01:07:35,180
Uh, I was, I was looking
up when he said Tulsa.

1343
01:07:35,190 --> 01:07:36,320
I was like, who did they play?

1344
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:37,540
I didn't, I had no idea.

1345
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,700
UAB has been terrible this
season under Trent Dilfer.

1346
01:07:42,970 --> 01:07:46,290
I was going to say, did they just
take one for the conference by

1347
01:07:46,340 --> 01:07:49,770
maybe preventing Trent from getting
fired at the end of the year?

1348
01:07:49,770 --> 01:07:52,970
Cause like Tulsa is already in the tank.

1349
01:07:52,980 --> 01:07:56,560
I think they're under wind total is
going to cash, I think next week.

1350
01:07:57,070 --> 01:07:57,350
Bye.

1351
01:07:58,195 --> 01:08:01,575
Man, keep Trent Dilfer around with the
great job he's done down there at UAB.

1352
01:08:05,435 --> 01:08:08,145
They scored 45 in the
first half in that game.

1353
01:08:08,145 --> 01:08:12,534
Yeah,

1354
01:08:15,395 --> 01:08:16,995
they figured Tulsa's not any good.

1355
01:08:19,165 --> 01:08:21,865
It's not the Tulsa team we played
in Myrtle Beach, that's for sure.

1356
01:08:22,755 --> 01:08:24,905
No, they're a lot smaller up
front than they used to be.

1357
01:08:26,645 --> 01:08:29,775
Do you remember how big they looked
compared to us in that bowl game?

1358
01:08:30,885 --> 01:08:31,955
Yeah, massive.

1359
01:08:33,525 --> 01:08:36,255
It was a lot of guys that tried to
walk on in Oklahoma for like two

1360
01:08:36,255 --> 01:08:37,655
years and then transfer it out.

1361
01:08:38,275 --> 01:08:42,145
So they had dudes that have been on, you
know, Oklahoma's o line program, which

1362
01:08:42,145 --> 01:08:43,525
has done pretty well in the league.

1363
01:08:44,355 --> 01:08:46,775
And yeah, I think that three of them
were starting on the o line that year.

1364
01:08:46,785 --> 01:08:47,385
It was crazy.

1365
01:08:47,385 --> 01:08:51,394
Yeah.

1366
01:08:51,475 --> 01:08:53,785
What was the final in that
main game yesterday gear?

1367
01:08:55,345 --> 01:08:57,019
It was like 59 to 14.

1368
01:08:58,620 --> 01:08:59,700
It was very early.

1369
01:09:00,410 --> 01:09:03,680
It was seven nothing Maine
early against Oklahoma.

1370
01:09:04,170 --> 01:09:06,730
Believe me, there were some OU
tweets going around that were

1371
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:10,000
quickly deleted after I think they
scored the next 35 unanswered.

1372
01:09:11,770 --> 01:09:14,930
Tough year in Norman with
no O line and no receivers.

1373
01:09:16,540 --> 01:09:18,650
Yeah, the injuries have
not been kind to you guys.

1374
01:09:18,890 --> 01:09:24,370
Um, well, I'm going to let Jonathan
and Jarod have their parting

1375
01:09:24,370 --> 01:09:26,490
shots here and we'll end the show.

1376
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:31,790
Um, We will start with the kicker.

1377
01:09:32,340 --> 01:09:32,880
What do you got?

1378
01:09:34,330 --> 01:09:36,360
I think that this team is good.

1379
01:09:36,730 --> 01:09:39,880
This team is young and we got
a bright future ahead of us.

1380
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:42,760
As long as we can keep the guys that
we have, these young guys that we have.

1381
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:47,590
And I, like I said before in the show,
there shouldn't be any overreactions when

1382
01:09:47,590 --> 01:09:50,360
you lose the app state, especially the
way we lost yesterday with those little

1383
01:09:50,370 --> 01:09:52,080
mistakes that, that really killed us.

1384
01:09:52,490 --> 01:09:55,690
Um, I think we're a good football
team and obviously we still have

1385
01:09:55,690 --> 01:09:56,860
a chance to go and win the East.

1386
01:09:57,455 --> 01:10:01,415
And if we can, uh, if we can knock
out these last three games, we'll

1387
01:10:01,415 --> 01:10:05,705
be right there, even if we don't win
the East, if Georgia Southern doesn't

1388
01:10:05,735 --> 01:10:07,185
end up losing any of their games.

1389
01:10:07,185 --> 01:10:11,435
Like we win these last three games,
we've shown that we are a very, very

1390
01:10:11,435 --> 01:10:15,715
good football team and we can hang with
just about anybody at any given time.

1391
01:10:16,185 --> 01:10:18,115
And uh, It's exciting.

1392
01:10:18,545 --> 01:10:19,955
Very exciting future for us.

1393
01:10:22,935 --> 01:10:25,165
Can't disagree at all with
anything you just said.

1394
01:10:25,165 --> 01:10:26,265
Jarod, you're a poet.

1395
01:10:26,785 --> 01:10:27,665
Jonathan, where you got?

1396
01:10:29,125 --> 01:10:31,655
Uh, you know, I just want to
start off with a thank you.

1397
01:10:31,915 --> 01:10:33,045
First, thank you guys.

1398
01:10:33,085 --> 01:10:36,735
The monarchist crew, uh, for all
you guys do the pride as well.

1399
01:10:37,075 --> 01:10:38,935
Uh, for laughing Jarod.

1400
01:10:39,385 --> 01:10:42,465
Um, but also, you know,
monarch faithful out there.

1401
01:10:42,575 --> 01:10:46,965
Uh, and I'm gonna tell
that into a call to action.

1402
01:10:47,435 --> 01:10:51,065
Uh, you know, we talked about exciting
football team, competitive football

1403
01:10:51,065 --> 01:10:56,555
team, uh, two games at home that
really, uh, you know, we'll decide

1404
01:10:56,565 --> 01:10:58,265
how we talk about this season.

1405
01:10:58,265 --> 01:11:01,365
I think, you know, we have a great
opportunity to achieve some of those

1406
01:11:01,635 --> 01:11:05,695
high level goals, but we also have
an opportunity to be bull eligible.

1407
01:11:06,055 --> 01:11:07,575
Uh, you know, at the end of it, right.

1408
01:11:07,575 --> 01:11:12,455
So make, bring the noise, bring the
juice, you know, shout out juice, man.

1409
01:11:12,455 --> 01:11:12,785
Right.

1410
01:11:13,075 --> 01:11:16,775
Uh, we have two home games after
this bi week, uh, bring the juice.

1411
01:11:16,785 --> 01:11:18,395
We already know the students
are going to bring it.

1412
01:11:18,465 --> 01:11:23,215
So let's follow after them, make playing
at home an asset again, uh, and really

1413
01:11:23,215 --> 01:11:27,305
support this, uh, competitive and
talented team, uh, because again, they're,

1414
01:11:27,315 --> 01:11:28,555
they're playing exciting football.

1415
01:11:28,565 --> 01:11:31,544
Let's, uh, let's go out there
and show them how excited we are.

1416
01:11:33,705 --> 01:11:34,015
Yeah.

1417
01:11:34,235 --> 01:11:35,535
Um, shout out juice, man.

1418
01:11:35,895 --> 01:11:38,255
The nicest person that is an OD fan.

1419
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:40,690
By far the greatest.

1420
01:11:41,130 --> 01:11:41,330
Yeah.

1421
01:11:41,330 --> 01:11:41,860
He's awesome.

1422
01:11:41,970 --> 01:11:44,580
We are lucky to have him on our side.

1423
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:45,540
Oh yeah.

1424
01:11:45,570 --> 01:11:47,840
Gary, uh, do you have a parting shot?

1425
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:51,340
I have one and it's the only
thing I had noted that I

1426
01:11:51,350 --> 01:11:52,740
didn't get to talk about today.

1427
01:11:53,150 --> 01:11:59,180
Ethan Cheng, kickoff specialist in the
books with a solo tackle on Saturday.

1428
01:11:59,380 --> 01:12:00,480
It was a good tackle as well.

1429
01:12:01,030 --> 01:12:03,100
I mean, quality, I'll take it.

1430
01:12:03,150 --> 01:12:05,890
That was, that was the only thing
I missed and I figured I would,

1431
01:12:05,890 --> 01:12:09,140
uh, be doing a disservice if I did
not miss it on this episode with.

1432
01:12:09,580 --> 01:12:12,860
Jarod and Jonathan seeing the
specialist get a solo tackle and

1433
01:12:12,870 --> 01:12:14,670
glad to see you on mute yourself.

1434
01:12:14,670 --> 01:12:18,890
Don't you don't even say it glad
to see the improvement in, uh, the

1435
01:12:18,900 --> 01:12:20,380
tackling ability of our kickers.

1436
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:25,720
If that's as far as you go, we're good.

1437
01:12:26,480 --> 01:12:27,610
We can leave it right there.

1438
01:12:29,870 --> 01:12:31,290
I had 14 tackles in my career.

1439
01:12:31,290 --> 01:12:31,650
All right.

1440
01:12:32,050 --> 01:12:32,590
How about that?

1441
01:12:33,260 --> 01:12:33,520
Okay.

1442
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:33,930
That's good.

1443
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,280
I think eight of which were pushed 'em
outta bounds, but I mean, that counts.

1444
01:12:38,310 --> 01:12:39,000
It's on the books.

1445
01:12:39,270 --> 01:12:40,500
Nobody else needs to know.

1446
01:12:40,950 --> 01:12:42,360
Just don't talk about Georgia State.

1447
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:43,260
Shut up,

1448
01:12:43,725 --> 01:12:44,705
Oh, no.

1449
01:12:45,990 --> 01:12:46,110
Oh no.

1450
01:12:47,430 --> 01:12:47,970
All right.

1451
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:54,500
So for my parting shots, I will
say Brooklyn Brewery, if you are

1452
01:12:54,500 --> 01:13:01,940
looking for a spokesperson, this
Black Ops aged in four roses barrels,

1453
01:13:02,810 --> 01:13:03,680
you'd knocked it outta the park.

1454
01:13:04,130 --> 01:13:07,890
Uh, I'm ready to talk business.

1455
01:13:08,510 --> 01:13:13,330
Uh, secondly, if you enjoy this
football team and you're excited about

1456
01:13:13,330 --> 01:13:18,180
the future with Colton Joseph behind
it, join the damn collective already.

1457
01:13:20,460 --> 01:13:27,380
I told you guys I would do this
NPR style if I have to, but not

1458
01:13:27,470 --> 01:13:29,150
enough of you are jumping on board.

1459
01:13:30,890 --> 01:13:33,860
We should be kicking ass in
the sunbelt and being the

1460
01:13:33,860 --> 01:13:35,320
number one team in the sunbelt.

1461
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:40,230
How many fans we have and how
many successful people we have in

1462
01:13:40,230 --> 01:13:46,980
this monarch community where we're
not quite first yet because not

1463
01:13:46,980 --> 01:13:48,390
enough of you are jumping on board.

1464
01:13:49,460 --> 01:13:50,090
What are we doing?

1465
01:13:51,100 --> 01:13:54,460
We want this to continue to build
and you're buying season tickets.

1466
01:13:54,460 --> 01:13:55,280
You're donating.

1467
01:13:56,095 --> 01:13:58,095
Why are you not jumping on
board with the collective?

1468
01:13:58,495 --> 01:13:59,175
I don't get it.

1469
01:14:00,645 --> 01:14:07,635
Jump on board, support this team, support
this program, or we will need more

1470
01:14:07,635 --> 01:14:09,715
music like that to describe our game.

1471
01:14:12,145 --> 01:14:13,055
Let it play, Gary.

1472
01:14:13,245 --> 01:14:14,005
Let it ring out.

1473
01:14:14,755 --> 01:14:15,945
It'll depress everyone.

1474
01:14:17,045 --> 01:14:19,055
We don't get more people
doing the collective.

1475
01:14:19,745 --> 01:14:22,195
That's the music you're
you watch OD football.

1476
01:14:23,930 --> 01:14:27,920
The first copyright strike for Old
Dominion Monarchist's YouTube account.

1477
01:14:30,770 --> 01:14:32,150
Join the DM Collective already.

1478
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:33,350
What are y'all doing?

1479
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:37,580
You get 10 percent off whenever you
come hang out with us at Afterglow.

1480
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:43,900
You get to support this program,
and coming soon, you're gonna get

1481
01:14:43,900 --> 01:14:48,050
access to information and content you
won't be able to get anywhere else.

1482
01:14:49,440 --> 01:14:51,150
We haven't announced that
yet, but it's coming.

1483
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:52,160
Uh oh.

1484
01:14:53,570 --> 01:14:54,920
Things change, Mox.

1485
01:14:57,050 --> 01:14:57,480
Thank you.

1486
01:14:59,155 --> 01:15:00,365
And I don't want your life.

1487
01:15:02,465 --> 01:15:04,075
Uh, all right.

1488
01:15:05,015 --> 01:15:06,125
Thank you guys for joining us.

1489
01:15:06,745 --> 01:15:10,415
Thank you, Jonathan and Jarod, for being
such good sports and joining the show.

1490
01:15:11,045 --> 01:15:13,465
Shout out to Jonathan for
becoming a Hall of Famer.

1491
01:15:13,985 --> 01:15:15,115
We're really proud of you.

1492
01:15:15,145 --> 01:15:16,305
Happy to be your friend.

1493
01:15:16,785 --> 01:15:19,145
Jarod, you belong in the hall with him.

1494
01:15:19,955 --> 01:15:22,475
I would have loved for you
guys to go in together.

1495
01:15:22,895 --> 01:15:24,505
That would have been
such a beautiful moment.

1496
01:15:24,975 --> 01:15:25,485
That'd have been cool.

1497
01:15:25,555 --> 01:15:27,035
But we can live.

1498
01:15:27,540 --> 01:15:29,960
With you eventually getting in, right?

1499
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:31,110
I hope so.

1500
01:15:31,260 --> 01:15:32,320
Thank you guys so much.

1501
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:35,130
We have a great time every time we're on.

1502
01:15:35,130 --> 01:15:36,880
So, uh, ask us anytime we'll be here.

1503
01:15:38,090 --> 01:15:39,160
You know where to find us.

1504
01:15:40,310 --> 01:15:40,740
We do.

1505
01:15:41,980 --> 01:15:44,550
On that note, go Monarchs.

1506
01:15:45,170 --> 01:15:45,740
Go Monarchs.

1507
01:15:45,850 --> 01:15:48,260
Hey, I'm looking forward to golfing
before Arkansas State, just saying.

1508
01:15:48,930 --> 01:15:49,540
It's happening.

1509
01:15:49,750 --> 01:15:50,410
We're going to.

1510
01:15:50,610 --> 01:15:51,650
We're winning in two games.

1511
01:15:54,050 --> 01:15:56,120
All right, Gary, you got a party for us?

1512
01:15:56,420 --> 01:15:56,890
Go

1513
01:15:59,910 --> 01:16:05,900
Monarchs.
