Speaker 1 (00:00):
Irenical.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Good morning, guys, doing well. Have you calmed down? You
were not happy with some elements of the season opener.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Yeah, we won the game. I do have to say
this though, and I want to give to our great
friends down in Texas. Nice job staying number one for
three hours, you know. And and of course the Chosen One.
Arch Manning, great job you lost your heisman two. It
was great to watch the first time I had a
rut of Ohio State and I loved it.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
His NIL value went down half a million dollars after
one performance.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Well, you know that's Texas Texas football now, So there
you go.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
I gotta tell you every other commercial was an arch
Manning commercial during that time.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
It's unbelievable. I can't take it anymore. I can't take it.
You played two games called the Chosen One one.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Day one game, the start he played last year, but
he's the he was the offseason starter. The guy's doing
six million a year in NIL.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, well, enjoy it, you know, number one pick okay.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And now this game tomorrow night, Richie. I mean, let's
be real, if if we don't turn it over eight
nine times, you know, I mean eight times? So what
makes so what makes this interesting.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
We need to win. Look, we need to win it
was it thirty five points, whatever it is, win this game,
whatever it is. We need to win this game. That way,
we need to have one of these games where we
win by thirty five to forty points. Feel good. Get
the backups in the second and third stringers in the
second half, especially the freshman quarterback and I'm running backs.
Get them in no injuries. You need to have a
(01:39):
good I don't want to see No. Twenty to seventeen
at the half or anything like that. Go in there.
This team is like one hundred and twenty fourth I think,
and whatever their rankings are. This is a game. And
don't forget last week. Lots of teams struggled also and
we won the game. So you move on. Play a good,
clean game, take care of the ball, and get everybody
(02:00):
out by the third quarter.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
This is classic. This is classic, Ritzie. I don't want
to see No. Twenty seventeen at the half?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Well, do you want to see that? I don't want
to see that. Look, I don't want to see a turn.
I don't want to see them take the ball down
the field the first drive and it's seven any of
that's going to happen. I just go out there, finished
drive and win this game forty five to ten, forty
five to three, one of those scores. That's what you
need to do.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I think that I think that this is about just
executing the game plan, trying not to have any busted
coverages on defense, try not to miss any blocks, no
false start penalties, and get.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Dylan Rayl out of there after half time. How about
to improve upfront on defense?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I think you got what you got and you're not
going to really know because Akron's small. They're just not
a big ten level offensive or defensive line.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
What you really want is TJ Latif, the backup quarterback,
to get real.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I want to see him. And you know, this is
almost like a preseason type games, just as the NFL.
This is how you get better. I mean, we we
stepped into Cincinnati. They're gonna, they're not gonna. They're not
that bad, and you're gonna see that. To start a
game like that for your first game on the road,
that's that's even though it was a home game, kind
of was still a road game. We did okay, we
(03:19):
did okay, And now you're gonna get some practicing and
stuff like that, get ready for Michigan. So this this
is good. It's a good time to have this game.
I think, what's what's the zip?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I'm still trying to figure out that. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
If it were me, I'd changed in my nickname. I'd
switch with the baseball team there and call myself the
Rubber Ducks, just to get a lot of attention. The
Akron rubber that's their double A B. Now there, look,
Joe Moore heads, the Joe Moore head's an accomplished coach,
football coach. He's been a head coach, he's been an
assistant coach. Uh and Akron is sitting in a state
(03:54):
film he was.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
He was.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
He was offensive coordinator Penn State when Trace McSorley was
the quarter back there.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
He was the head coach at Florida.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
He was the head coach a Mississipis. Well, I'm not
suggesting that he's going to take Akron to the playoffs.
I'm saying this guy's got accomplished.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
He wouldn't be an Achron, Let's be honest.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Well, he ran into a buzzside Mississippi State before they
started kicking out.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
But I noticed you said get ready for Michigan. I
guess that means that Houston Christian is a trap game.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
It be another one of these games, an the practice game.
That's how I look at it.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
How many how many beers are going to have? Richie, Oh,
he didn't drink.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I don't know. I don't drink beer. I'm very I
still don't understand why people have to drink beers a games.
I'll never understand. I'll tell folks out there be careful
because the police are going to be out there watching
at the end of the game. Believe it. So, I mean,
I just don't understand why you have to drink it
a game. But that's just me.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
You don't have to got news for you, you don't
have to.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Nebraska fans have had a couple of red beers in
the parking lot before the game.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Now you're going to have more. Now you can have
more at the game, right the bloody happens, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
There's always been a run on Bloody Mary Mix about
late Thursday into Fridays around football.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I don't know what that means. So, I mean, just
enjoy yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I got an answer for you. You're Ritchie from mister AIU.
It seems like the nickname Zips was chosen in nineteen
twenty seven and shortened from zippers okay, which which is
what they used to call these rubber overshoes manufactured by B. F.
Good Rich in Akron.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Okay. There you go. So look they.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Should well, there we learned something.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
They should be good.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
They're sitting in the state of Ohio, which kicks out
a lot of high school football players every year. They're
in the MAC, which is a winnable conference for a
mid major. Everybody in the MAC is a winnable conference.
It's uh, it's it's just a money game. They're here
to get a big check. I will will Ritchie and thanks.
We'll talk to you next Friday. A wonderful day at
the game.
