Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're back with Jim Morri of the Yukon Football Coaches Show,
Huskies and ball State on Saturday three point thirty kick
at the Rent. Both teams one and two coming in.
They got there a little bit different ways. Obviously, you
come two heartbreaking overtime losses on the road, now getting
back home to some friendly confines. Let's talk about that, coach.
(00:21):
You know, people never downplay the difficulties of winning on
the road, and I think it comes into play and
those last two games you had. Syracuse kind of woke
up late in that game, and Delaware had a great
crowd for their first FBS home game. It ain't easy
to win on the road. We all know that.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's hard. I mean, it's just another thing that you
have to deal with. The distraction. We always love being
able to come home and play at the Rent in
front of the people that support this team and you know,
stay at our hotel and get into the rhythm and
the and the routine that you know has led to
some pretty decent success in the last few years at home.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
So the Huskies. In a few moments when coaches finished up,
we're going to talk to our Brian Parham and natter, Churchy,
Let's go to the tight end first. Jim recruiting a
guy like him, a big dude six seven. When you
first saw him, what was your thought did you say, well,
maybe this guy can be a defensive end. He did
(01:25):
it in high school. When did you come to the
kind of thought process that, Okay, he's going to be
a tight end here.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Well, the initial thought was that he'd be at offensive
tackle for us, and you know, we kind of recruited
him saying, hey, you know, we're going to play him
a tight end, but we think that eventually he could
grow into a tackle. But the development he's made is
a pass catcher and a guy out in space running
routes has really been impressive. And you know, we don't
look at him as a tackle anymore or ever as
(01:52):
a prospective tackle. We look at him as a really
good tight end threat, a guy that can block in
the run game, he can pass, per tack and now
you can get down the field and he can make catches,
and so we really love the way he's developed. He's
worked really hard at it.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
And like a lot of guys on your team that
you have recruited and put together here in the last
couple of seasons he seems to have in me. In
talking with him, I felt like I had a great
spirit about him, and I think that matters. You talk
about this stuff a lot, and it's not just talk.
It really is meaningful to recruit the right kind of guys.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, character is huge, and he's got great personal character,
and he's got football character. He loves to play the game.
But he's a really dependable, hard working, consistent, trustworthy, good kid.
And it's really rewarding when you get a chance to
be around those guys and you watch them grow up
(02:49):
from these kids that come out of high school, wide
eyed parents dropping them off at the dorms, you know,
to really mature, just dependable kids. Man, they're not actually kids,
young men, and then they leave here as men ready
to attack the world. So it's one of the great
things about coaching college football is guys like not.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Her right, and Brian Parham has been in a few places, California, guy,
San Jose State, a little stop at Washington where you
obviously were a football player at one time. Now he's
here all the way across the country. I was impressed
with him. I tell you what. When he started talking,
I said, Man, this guy's got leadership qualities. I mean,
(03:34):
if I was on his team, I'd say let's get
behind that guy, because he was pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I agree. Played at Long Beach Pauli, one of the
premier historically high school programs in the country. Was coached
at San Jose State by Scott White, who worked for
me at UCLA. So I had some familiarity with the
guy who'd coached him, so I knew he was very
very well coached. Played at Washington with a tremendous group
of coaches. And then his energy is infectious, you know,
(04:01):
and his attention to detail and his enthusiasm for the game,
his determination. He's becoming a real, real dependable leader for us,
a really good player for us.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Or we let you go coach, just one big picture
piece of analysis, if you would, where are you at
three games in? Do you say we at nine more boys?
We got a long way to go? Or how do
you view this where you're at right now?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Say let's have a great Tuesday practice, a great day
of preparation. Let's put it in the bank, and then
let's go make some more money tomorrow. And so we
still have work to do on Tuesday, and we'll work
diligently to get to Saturday, and then on Saturday we'll
go out and we'll perform the best we can. And
you know, I've said it a lot, Mike. You just
(04:46):
got to concentrate on what's right in front of you
and that's what we're trying to do.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Okay. I like the advice. I'm going to follow it myself. No,
you're not the rest of the day at least all right,
appreciate you, Thanks so much. That's Jim Mora coming up.
Brian Parham and not her church. He will join us.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
