Is it ColoradoFirstStep.org to get started and claim your $115 now?" "We're back Jay Foreman, Austin Orman. Yes, we will get to your text here at the bottom of the hour. There's a lot of stuff going on. But I think just like we said before, I went to break, man, it's a hard time. You know, kids, you got to deal with everything, you know, embarrassment, mad anger and all that. I mean, it should be natural. I mean, you earned it, I mean, you earned everything that's being said. Now, there comes a time and place you do have to move on now because continuing to harp on it and replay a game that you can't go back and replay isn't going to help you move forward. Now, here's the question now we got from the text, like, "How do you do it?" There's two things that need to happen, right? And the first one is kind of like it does have two parts, number one, you know, first part of it, you need to get together and everybody's got to decide what we want the rest of this season to be like. We've had, we're five and two, we just let ourselves down and our fans down tremendously. Let everybody, you know, we just didn't do, it's an eyesore, right, and it's recent. But so you got to decide that and it's got to be, you got to be, you got to essentially draw the line. I'm drawing the line. You got to be right over here or you out there. And if you're out, if there's any second guessing, you're out there. And it's got to be everyone involved, but it can't necessarily be democratic, right? Because you have people that you have to try kicking and screaming, but you need someone to step up and take charge. No, see, that's how we got here. So you just like when my dad told me the difference between a democracy and a dictatorship, he said he asked him. He said, "It's a democracy until you make it a dictatorship." And I said, "Well, what's a dictatorship?" He said, "Don't worry about it. You'll find out." No, no, what do you see here? Right. And that's what you'd see, right? I'll draw the line. And first, I'm drawing the line. So you got to see who's in and out. And then you got to really, really work on fixing ourselves, like I wouldn't say defeating ourselves, but just essentially fixing ourselves. We got to get better at the fundamentals and the stuff that they've been harping on, footwork and all that. And then we've got to really, really dive into it and understand that's what got us beat, not the schemes, not the home field advantage, not playing at 11 o'clock. Those are excuses. We got beat because we didn't do the things that we would been coached to do for who knows how many months and practices and meetings and all that, right? Then the second part, and this is probably the most important part and it kind of goes into the first part, okay? You got to forgive, but never forget. You got to forgive yourself after you've come to terms and really came to terms with and had some hard talks and people say stuff to you about you or whatever and really come to terms with what happened, how it happened, and all that stuff. So you can forgive yourself for it, but you don't ever forget it. You don't ever forget the feeling that you walked off the field with. You don't ever forget the feeling that maybe in the middle of the game you could live in with that pain and regret versus discipline. You don't ever forget what you didn't do or did or didn't do enough leading up to that game to be able to put on your individual best performance, like group work performance, and then the whole team. You never forget that and it's a good, and it's a good like carrot to hang out there because you can always draw back to that to help motivate you. You forgive, but never forget, because if you try to forget it and act like, "Oh, it never happened." Well, when that stuff come up with you again, boy, it's going to be like a bad case of hemorrhoids. So those are the two things that you have to do, and that ain't got nothing to do with skiing and all that. You got to work on yourself, and then you got to rehab yourself, but it's not going to be quick fix. The same process that led up to you being 49 points, smoked out, ran out the gym, it's the same process that you're going to have to do to rectify that, and rectifying doesn't mean that you necessarily are going to Ohio State and beat them by 49. So it does change expectations, but you shouldn't ever change how you go about competing. You got to be competitive, dude. You got to have an internal pride in yourself that's bigger than yourself. That's when you're going to get going. Everybody runs out of the locker room, everybody's motivated. They're probably more motivated. They're at home. They're running out doing all this other stuff, blankly blank. Well, then that's what discipline comes in. And they were clearly more disciplined on Saturday, too. Right. But they're disciplined because of the mindset. You got to change your mindset because I would say football is a totally unique sport, different sport, because you practice 95% of the time, 95% of the time, and play five. All those practices, weights, walkthroughs, jogthroughs, real practices, all that seven on seven, and you play 12 game versus like, you know, hockey, you play 82, baseball's 160, some, you know, basketball's 82, baseball's, you know, college baseball, they play significantly more college basketball. They do in granted because of the physicality, but that's the end of the day. So you have to, you have to want this. You can't like football. You cannot, you got to love football, you got to love your teammates. Don't tell me, show me, stop talking, do it. You know what I mean? Don't tell me what you're going to do. Show me what you did. There's a difference. And once that, once you kind of just change that little bit of mindset, then things become a lot clearer. And then when you go out there, you go out there and say, you know what, I'm like, you know, like, I think sometimes like, this is like young kids, right? Or just kids in general. Like, and I guess you could talk about Nebraska or whatever. And, you know, I'm not a, you know, a lot of people just like all seasons over and all that. You got five games. Well, I think sometimes where people get, sometimes get a little clouded and this is a lot of fans too, you know, just because we were there and talking to a lot of them. It's like, you know, a lot of people is like, how dare you like chase the championships in the 90s and the 90s, the 90s and 90s and 90s. And it's like, let's be looking at people just like, you think, you think at 48 years old, I'm interested in playing football, you think I get, you know, do you think I give a damn really about what I did? You know what I'm saying? I mean, I mean, what do you think about it? I'm done. What we did is we, what's history? Only thing that matters from the granted, the championships matter. Let's, let's not be dumb, right? The only thing that matters or the biggest thing that matters from the 90s is what we did and went through to be good. And that ain't never going to change. It's not. Ask any national champion. It's just not formula is the same formula in some form or fashion, uh, if you had core the fan core, if there's five things, they're, they're definitely a four point nine or four, they're four of them. Right? And so that's really the most important thing. And that's why I view the game. That's why I don't have to sit up here and talk about what we did or what I did. I don't who cares. They don't. Five when I was playing, right, right, right. Yeah. What the hell they care for? Now respected. Now, if they don't respect it, that's their choice, but I mean, but the question is not Hey, Jay, what did you do? What made it so good? The question is, Hey, Jay, how do I work like right? Or find a way to take Hey, what's up, it's Wilmer Valderrama. You know, a lot of us don't think twice about our tech, millions of Americans struggle to connect to today's digital world. And that's why this story really hits home for me. I mean, I started thinking about my upbringing and myself growing up in a world where, you know, you needed every possible tool or help you could get to actually allow you and afford you a bigger dream. That's why I love what AT&T's been doing. They're doing something amazing. I mean, they've launched an effort to equip 20,000 students with laptops, backpacks and school supplies. Um, Seattle, for example, they provided 250 laptops and backpacks to kids who really needed them. No, you might think like, okay, 250 kids, that's nice, you know, but, but stuff to think for a second, like the impact of what this could do for a community. Imagine, you know, 250 kids getting that kind of help, it's, it's, it's huge. It's not just happening in Seattle, right? AT&T is doing it all over the country. I'm just proud that AT&T is helping connect the next generation to a brighter futures. And that's, that's pretty special. Connecting changes everything. AT&T. Why choose a sleep number smart bed?

We didn't have the cell phone. In fact, we just barely like when I get on, we had a beeper, you know what I mean? We didn't have all that. So I get all that. So the things are different. I'm not sitting over here saying it's different. All I'm saying is, plan for something bigger than you ain't never going to change. Plan a sport because you love it and say you love it and being held accountable because your coach wants you the best for you. And this is the best way to get there. That ain't never going to change. That ain't going to change. So you do all that and then, you know, necessarily, then you should be on your way, you know, moving forward. I think just sometimes fans want to stay away from it and not create it. There's guys that sometimes get on the radio and they always talk about what we would have done or what we did and all that. Not sure they don't want to hear about it, right? It's like, you know, my basketball kids, they look at me and they like, probably see me move like you never were a good athlete or let alone a football player. And my daughter saw me running one time, like, like a video, he was like, is that you? You know, it says form and it says for I get, I do understand it, right? Um, kids, man, yeah, well, well, but, but I also think that sometimes you want the respect and the power and intimidation of that, but you got to earn it. The best way to intimidate somebody is make whatever first of all, put it on tape and then the next opponent, make whatever they see on tape, come to fruition. Then they will tap out. Then then you will be right where you need to be, that ain't going to do a scoreboard because everything I'm talking about, well, the score will be the score will be just fine. The wins and losses will be just fine. Um, then after you do those two things and I'm sure there's a multiple thing, then we can start talking about schemes and, and all that. But you got to even go make a day and play. Listen, the one of the best plays of all time that we've had in the festival was a bus. There's been times I went into games at the pro level that I didn't think the game playing was that good, didn't stop me going out there and playing hard because I have to trust the coaches that they're going to put me in the right position for the betterment of the team and I have to figure out a way to make it work. I'll tell you to be honest with you. And if you want to talk about the 90s, we played this dang bubble defense. I hated that crap. I hated it, right? I hated it. But it affected my play, to be honest with you, my sophomore. I hated it. It's a defense to where the linebacker would kind of stem up. You're not playing defense in line, but you're playing right on the heels of the defense in line. So the offensive line has to account for you with dictates and makes the offensive line block everybody one on one and essentially the defense, the defense event. And we had graded three texts and the three technique and Jason Peter and they would just destroy everybody, right? I had to take on a 300 pound guard. Like from close proximity. I'm sure you'd look forward to that zero times today at times, you know what I mean? But I wasn't successful. Like when I first started doing it, then finally, my dad said, do you figure it out? Figure out a way to do it. So then I started to get better at it. And it's like, you know what? Since I got to do it, I'll make the best of it, right? So I'm going to try to find and use my skills in order to be effective. So it couldn't be a negative negative. Well, me doing that, I feel this is just my opinion. I guess on my career and the way I played helped me play inside linebacker at the next level better because taking on lineman with two extra yards was easy in learning body angles and all it helped. I feel like it helped me. And then I started making more plays that way because I was like, I already did it at the hardest way and do that. So you got to find a way to like, like figure it out. And so the reason why I'm saying is like everybody can talk about schemes. I played in defense that didn't particularly fit me, but you make it work because you're out there because ultimately all I cared about was winning. And I feel like if you're a good football player or basketball player, you're not granted. Everything with standing is that you'll make your plays because they're not going to block you every single time. The example that comes to mind for me hearing you say this is Nebraska versus press coverage. It was an issue last year and Nebraska didn't get off the ball. Guess what? Still an issue this year. Not necessarily happening. That rules brought it up in multiple press conferences. Okay. Sure. Coach better receivers learn better technique, but at some point, don't you get tired of getting jammed? Like figured it out. Right? Oh, you ducked the guy, right? Definitely. We're some of the line of scrimmage. Make your way to get off the ball. Yeah, because if I start getting off the ball, you better be giving me the ball. Yeah. Because I'm going to do what I need to do and I'm going to come back and ask you for it. I think if you do just do those things, it'll be just fine. I mean, it'll be fine and move in the right direction. Players just got to take over, dude. I'm big on. You go out there. Players play the game. Coach is coach the game and we'll get in the scheme and we'll talk about. No, everybody's worried about the 335 and all that, you know, in the regular 335 or what we're doing on offense. If I will tell you that it's a little secret, everybody out there and we'll get to all the text in the short segment. If you are not executing, I don't care if you're running the St. Louis Rams greatest show on turf. If you're running Dallas Cowboys with the best offensive line in the greatest, or yeah, the, you know, the all time leading a Russian image Smith. And then if you have the 85 bear defense and you're running that defense or whatever, if you're not executing, it don't matter. It doesn't. If you're not playing with the right intentions, it doesn't matter. It really does. I'm sorry to tell you. And I will tell you this. You're not sorry. It's okay. No, I'm really not. I would tell you this. Don't think if you're out there and not executing that they call that they say, okay, Tony White says, okay, we're going to run a fort like a 425 or nickel defense. Then I'll say, Oh, here we go. We're going to start playing good. What do you think? I mean, this is not play. I think people think this is PlayStation. No, no, no, you got to execute. You got to, you got to go play. You got to go execute. And that's on the players. And it's I mean, there's a plenty of blame to go around. I like players led teams because I think you can get farther, faster with them taking control of the team because I think if the players have control of the team, then the coach is kind of like, all right, we got to let them run with it because they have ownership of it. You know, like, you know what I'm saying? You don't need a coach in there in the locker room, right, Ron, all the time, get you, you know, get your motor going, Jack. So anyways, I want to take a quick break. We're going to get to all your texts and then we'll talk about some schemes in the five o'clock hour. And we'll talk about what happened in the Big Ten, man, there's a lot of stuff going on. Man, Maryland, Locksley, I know you had, I know, here's what I would say, Mike Locksley had the biggest bushel of Maryland crabs after that. It's not funny because I love him. I love Maryland blue crabs. I know he did after that and he had a couple, he had a nice six to 12 packs of brew skis after that. After that victory. Go ahead, Turks.
