Speaker 1 (00:01):
It is Hawk Talk tonight live inside the five o
six pump he goes pure market as Tuesday nights. Glad
to have you along with us. As we again we'll
hear from head coach Dane Jackson an update on North
Got to Hockey. We've got Eric schmidzet to join us
right now as we're getting a look at some of
the highlights from last Saturday and the regular season performance.
And schmid he didn't take you long to dial into
(00:22):
that as they show the show the video. But welcome
in and first off, we're gonna get to it. We've
got plenty of time tonight. Congratulations, got a big one
for you coming up on Saturday down in Tennessee, and
congrats to you and the staff and what I can
only imagine and we're gonna pick your brain on it here.
Just an emotional probably twelve sixteen hours going from the
(00:43):
time you left the Aleras Saturday to Sunday. But congratulations
to you guys.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, I mean great for our players. Excited for them.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
It's always gonna be about the guys in between the
White Lions and those guys putting it on the line
every single Saturday. And obviously you know everything that we
had done, body of work throughout the year, you know,
playing a really good schedule and obviously disappointed with not being.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Able to pull it out on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
But but ultimately, I mean one of the goals is
to get the tournament here now and uh and now
we got a you know, a second chance at life
here and be able to go down to Tennessee this
week and and uh and continue to uh to keep
these group, uh, this.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Group of guys, the brotherhood together.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, no doubt. So let's start with Saturday. We'll go back,
of course with Selticota States in town. Obviously we knew
Senior Day so much at State for both clubs, and
and you really kind of get you got the start
you'd wanted and in a good first half, and what
was going for you guys early?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, I thought offensively, we just did a good job
of of you know, just taking advantage of some things,
you know, running the quarterback a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I thought BJ got opened a few times.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Obviously, you know, we caught him in a man dea
man situation and and uh, you know for him to
go win a one on one and it turned out
to be the longest throw and catch in in school
history there and we fourteen to nothing, and then I
just thought, defensively, you know, we could have did a
better job helping our guys just some new things that
that South Dakota State was doing, and it took us
a little longer then then I hope to be able
(02:00):
to get you know, the communication to the guys and
make adjustments we you know, really gave them. I shouldn't
say gave them, but they got seven points there, but
still to be up seventeen to seven going into half,
and then made the adjustments that we thought like we
needed to make and came out of halftime and threw
the pick, but you know, through they came back with
some of the same running plays that they had been doing,
and our guys did a good job of justing and
(02:21):
we had a goal line stand there and then we
were able to go down and make it twenty to seven.
And I really thought the turning point in the game.
There was two third downs there that you know, we
got a PI on one that we just felt like
we should have been able to do a better job
of playing you know, tight coverage there. We actually were
in a we're in a double team on the guy
who was they were throwing to and he ran by
both the corner and the safety there. And then the
next third down we had him in third and long
(02:42):
again and just you know, a poor communication play.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
By our guys.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
We just we weren't on the same page off of
a motion and gave them a first down. And then
the very next play they go in you know, kind
of a fake you know, quarterback outside zone and throw
the ball and they get down and they score. So
I think that three play, you know, just sequence got
them back in it. And then the very next play
we got it back on offense. We turned it over
and they got the ball inside the fifteen and then
(03:07):
go up twenty one to twenty. So change the outcome
of the game right there. We had a chance. I
get off the field up twenty to seven, go down
and score and make it. You know, twenty seven to
seven or twenty three seven becomes really hard. So that's
something that we have got to be able to continue
to do a better job of, especially with a lead,
playing consistently making it hard on our opponents to be
able to come back. And if they do, they got
(03:28):
to drive the field, you know, in order to do it.
So it was disappointed, and then you know the ending
of the game obviously, to go down and go eighty
five yards there. You know, at the end of the game,
Jerry was dialed in, did a good job of making
plays with his arm, making plays with his feet, you know,
putting the ball in some good spots. We were banged
up at that point. You know, bj left the game,
so Dang Dang was a huge piece of it. You know,
(03:49):
Nate de Mogniac was a huge piece of it. And
then running the football too as well. Jerry, I thought,
did a good job with some scrambles just to get
it into in the second and manageable and stay in
front of the stay in front of the sticks there.
And then the two point conversion. Obviously the score with
Nate and then the two point conversion was big. And
then to get it into overtime. You know, I thought
the you know, the momentum had shifted back to our
(04:10):
sideline there, so just a matter of us going out
there and executing ot.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, and you mentioned that obviously, that drive to get
it tied was just Jerry kind of just saying I'm
gonna be a leader, I'm gonna take this on and
of course you did. You got good performances and responses
on that drive from guys that were forced into situations.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Like you said, yeah, you know, Dang had had been
kind of behind BJ and stuff like that here the
last month of the season. So for him to be
able to go out there and make some key catches,
I think, you know, just a big body guy, he
got some dbs on his back, and then he's a
big catch radius out there, you know, for Jerry to
be able to throw at so I thought that was
really good. And then once again Nate you know, doing
(04:45):
some things too as well. Even after the catch, I
thought was really important for us once again, just to
be able to get it into second and four and
in third and two and stuff like that I thought
was really big. Then it you know, it keeps the
pressure on their defense and and just a really good drive,
you know. And then like I said, overtime, I felt
like the first play of overtime that we had the ball,
(05:06):
we had a we just didn't execute very well, so
we got behind the change right away, and then that
led to you know, us not being able to get
a first down and then goodbye Kit and to be
able to make the field goal, and then we just
didn't execute. On the third and long we you know,
had an opportunity, we felt to overwhelm them and had
some guys come through. And then the on the boundary
side of the field, we just are guys the guys
who we needed to rush over there, you know, just
(05:28):
one of those deals.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
This didn't go and.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
And uh and get after the quarterbacks set out the
line of scrimmage and that allowed him to be able
to get out of the pocket. And then it became,
you know, a scramble drill for us, and just that
that's not anything that you want to be in when
we're in that call. That call is designed to not
let him get out there. So it was it was
disappointing that we couldn't execute better there at the end
of the game.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Disappointing. I think it might have been the best example
of when two football teams are going making plays. You
mentioned the three in regulation and then the one at
the end. The margin for error with good teams is
nothing like it's non existent.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah, I mean, there's the top teams in our league
are the are the you know, the top teams in
our league for a reason, And I think you got
to go out there. I always say, like, you know,
we can handle it. If we go out there, we're
in you know, we're in a good call. We execute
the call, and we get beat you know for whatever reason.
The you know, a guy makes a play and you
tip your hat to him and you move on to
the next play. But when you don't execute it and
do it the way that you know it's meant to
(06:22):
be done, and you kind of beat yourself, those are
the ones that you come back into the film room,
you come back into the meeting room the next day,
and guys are really upset, you know, they just disappointed
and not being able to play more consistently really win,
you know, in winning time.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I think that's the thing. Yet that for.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Whatever reason right now and that was obviously very good
on offense there to be able to get us back
and to go down the field and in more of
a four minute situation, not a two minute situation, but
still it was you know, a long field, not not
any timeouts left or anything like that. So to be
able to do that I thought was really crucial. Now
our defense, like that was our worst day on defense
in my opinion that we've played all week or all
(06:58):
year and and that was disappointing, especially in uh, you know,
in a huge game at the end of the year.
So our guys need to respond. I thought today, you know,
you could tell it was different that they were you know,
they were they were wounded based off of how.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
They played on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
And we got to make sure that that that continues
all this week and that we play a lot better
on on this upcoming Saturday.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
So you come off the field Saturday night, obviously it's
it's emotional. We have Malachi on our on our postgame,
and you could feel it through him. Take us behind
the curtain, take us through Saturday. Did you did you
at least get a chance obviously knowing I'm sure what's
going to come Sunday morning, that there is a chance
your name's going to be called, But did you at
least get a chance to kind of let Saturday night
be Saturday Night?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Well?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I think you're you know, you're just emotionally just spent,
you know, the the whole week was you know, a
lot going on with Senior night and and just uh,
you know, making sure that your guys were prepared to
the level where you felt like, hey, you're giving them
every opportunity to be able to be successful out there.
I think all our coaches felt that way. There was
there was a lot riding on it. You know, we
just understood that that. You know, you get to the
end of the end of the season and you're in
(07:59):
a game like that, and that's why you it's why
you come to places like this, because you know you're
gonna play an important games in November. So just to not,
like I said, win the game, I thought a lot
of guys were drained, you know, just emotionally spent, coaches
and players you know included. So you go home and
and uh, you know, I think as a coach, you know,
people ask all the time, like, hey, do you try
to go through everybody's resume? Do you try to figure out,
(08:20):
you know, where you land and all that, And you
don't really do anything like that. You go home and
you really just kind of try to decompress and think about, hey,
how do we keep moving this program forward? How do
you how do you get better in all facets, whether
that's you know, third down defense, whether that's two minute
drill on offense, whether that's recruiting or you know, whatever
it is. And I think those are the things that
that go through your head. And then obviously, you know,
(08:41):
the thing that it keeps coming back to is the players.
You know, when you're when you're a coach, and sometimes
it's a little bit maybe uh you know, it's to
your detriment as a coach, but you really have your
family at home that you care about now you spend
a bunch of time with, and then you have your
team and that's you know, like that's all you really need,
you know as a coach is to be able to
to have those two things. And you really, you know,
you hurt for those guys just because you want them
(09:03):
to make sure that you know, they have the best
experience that they have well they're well, they're here and
you just know the amount of work and you know
just the amount of effort and focus that goes into
every single day. So so it's just, you know, frustrated
that we couldn't we couldn't give those guys, you know,
a better feeling and you know, just a better experience
on that day. But you know, I thought we had
(09:23):
a chance yet you know, moving forward, I know I
knew that, you know, especially through that first part of
October and really towards the end of October that the
committee thought, well, you know, thought a lot about our team.
We were seated at one point and all that kind
of stuff. So I definitely felt like, you know, there
was there was a good you know feeling about our
resume and about you know, what our team had done
(09:43):
up to that point.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, because it was really we were talking last week, Okay,
if you win, you've done everything that you can to
send in your resume and let the chips fall. But
even coming off of a loss, it's the same thing.
Like you said, all you can do is really just
almost double down on that body of work.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Well, I think there's you know, obviously there's a lot
that's you know, weighted on your schedule you know too
as well. And I think that's the one thing that
you know, maybe the casual fan or the casual observer
doesn't understand is that, you know, the people that are
in those rooms are ads. They understand scheduling and some
of the you know, the h just the problems and
(10:20):
things like that that that that some programs have when
they're trying to schedule. Like I just think, you know,
we're always trying to schedule really really good non conference games,
and it's hard, you know, we get turned down quite
a bit, you know, from from a lot of different
like really good programs throughout the country. So I just
think that, you know, and I agree with it, we
have to continue to send a message throughout, you know,
the the FCS landscape that, hey, if if you want
(10:44):
to be able to make the playoffs and your you know,
your strength to higher strength to schedule, the teams that
you play in your non conference really matter, especially if
you're in you know, some of these leagues that you know,
traditionally aren't as aren't as powerful as far as having
the number of teams that get into the playoffs as
we do.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You know in the Valley.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
So so yeah, I just, uh, you know, I felt,
like I said, I felt good about just where our
schedule was at. And then each one of the losses
that we had, I mean, we had opportunities to win
every one of those games. We've had the ball at
the end, you know, you know, to win the game.
So we hadn't been you know, against anybody, whether it
was the number one team in the country, the number
two team in the country, or you know, all of
(11:20):
our losses were we're to rank teams. So so yeah,
we're right there. I think, you know, for us, it's
it's obviously not where we want to be. It's not
anything that we're you know, tooting our horn about or
anything like that. But when you look at once again
the resume of a team, and I think all those
things factor in when you decide who you're going to
put in the tournament.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
And controlling what you can control. All right, So we're
through Saturday night. Let's take a quick pause. We're gonna
step aside. We'll come back and then we'll get to
the fun part in that Sunday morning, as we continue
our conversation with Eric Schmidt, North to go to football
head coach here on Hawk Talk inside the five oh
six Pup Hugoes Pure Market. We'll be right back with
more with Coach Schmidt after this on the Funny Hawks
Radio Network

Speaker 3 (02:47):
We just we weren't on the same page off of

I think you're you know, you're just emotionally just spent,

like I said, win the game, I thought a lot
of guys were drained, you know, just emotionally spent, coaches
and players you know included. So you go home and
and uh, you know, I think as a coach, you know,
people ask all the time, like, hey, do you try
to go through everybody's resume? Do you try to figure out,
(08:20):
you know, where you land and all that, And you
don't really do anything like that. You go home and
you really just kind of try to decompress and think about, hey,
how do we keep moving this program forward? How do
you how do you get better in all facets, whether
that's you know, third down defense, whether that's two minute
drill on offense, whether that's recruiting or you know, whatever
it is. And I think those are the things that
that go through your head. And then obviously, you know,
(08:41):
the thing that it keeps coming back to is the players.
You know, when you're when you're a coach, and sometimes
it's a little bit maybe uh you know, it's to
your detriment as a coach, but you really have your
family at home that you care about now you spend
a bunch of time with, and then you have your
team and that's you know, like that's all you really need,
you know as a coach is to be able to
to have those two things. And you really, you know,
you hurt for those guys just because you want them
(09:03):
to make sure that you know, they have the best
experience that they have well they're well, they're here and
you just know the amount of work and you know
just the amount of effort and focus that goes into
every single day. So so it's just, you know, frustrated
that we couldn't we couldn't give those guys, you know,
a better feeling and you know, just a better experience
on that day. But you know, I thought we had
(09:23):
a chance yet you know, moving forward, I know I
knew that, you know, especially through that first part of
October and really towards the end of October that the
committee thought, well, you know, thought a lot about our team.
We were seated at one point and all that kind
of stuff. So I definitely felt like, you know, there
was there was a good you know feeling about our
resume and about you know, what our team had done
(09:43):
up to that point.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, because it was really we were talking last week, Okay,
if you win, you've done everything that you can to
send in your resume and let the chips fall. But
even coming off of a loss, it's the same thing.
Like you said, all you can do is really just
almost double down on that body of work.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Well, I think there's you know, obviously there's a lot
that's you know, weighted on your schedule you know too
as well. And I think that's the one thing that
you know, maybe the casual fan or the casual observer
doesn't understand is that, you know, the people that are
in those rooms are ads. They understand scheduling and some
of the you know, the h just the problems and
(10:20):
things like that that that that some programs have when
they're trying to schedule. Like I just think, you know,
we're always trying to schedule really really good non conference games,
and it's hard, you know, we get turned down quite
a bit, you know, from from a lot of different
like really good programs throughout the country. So I just
think that, you know, and I agree with it, we
have to continue to send a message throughout, you know,
the the FCS landscape that, hey, if if you want
(10:44):
to be able to make the playoffs and your you know,
your strength to higher strength to schedule, the teams that
you play in your non conference really matter, especially if
you're in you know, some of these leagues that you know,
traditionally aren't as aren't as powerful as far as having
the number of teams that get into the playoffs as
we do.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You know in the Valley.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
So so yeah, I just, uh, you know, I felt,
like I said, I felt good about just where our
schedule was at. And then each one of the losses
that we had, I mean, we had opportunities to win
every one of those games. We've had the ball at
the end, you know, you know, to win the game.
So we hadn't been you know, against anybody, whether it
was the number one team in the country, the number
two team in the country, or you know, all of
(11:20):
our losses were we're to rank teams. So so yeah,
we're right there. I think, you know, for us, it's
it's obviously not where we want to be. It's not
anything that we're you know, tooting our horn about or
anything like that. But when you look at once again
the resume of a team, and I think all those
things factor in when you decide who you're going to
put in the tournament.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
And controlling what you can control. All right, So we're
through Saturday night. Let's take a quick pause. We're gonna
step aside. We'll come back and then we'll get to
the fun part in that Sunday morning, as we continue
our conversation with Eric Schmidt, North to go to football
head coach here on Hawk Talk inside the five oh
six Pup Hugoes Pure Market. We'll be right back with
more with Coach Schmidt after this on the Funny Hawks

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
