So everything. Wonderful game,
wonderful, beginning, intriguin,
passionate, purposeful.
It's all of that.
We had some guys that singled
themselves out with their playig
and they're playing ability.
A lot of guys you doubt it.
One of them from
HBCUI think he had
510 yards passing and a power fe
football game and he happened to be my
son and I'm proud of him tremendously.
Defensively we had some let
downs but the guys came and made
the plays when they need it.
I think we broke a record.
Everything we do seems like a
record for receivers with 100 y.
We didn't run the ball greatly but we
we threw the heck out of the football.
Savion another back, played a great game.
All the guys contributed,
Dylan as well as Hankerson.
The Lion did their thing,
bought their butts off.
We got to fix some things on defense,
especially special teams, because I think
we gave up three or four turnov.
We gave up the kickoff.
We had a A a fumble.
A couple other things happened
in the first half,
but hats off to the opposing te,
their coach greatly.
I didn't believe their head coa.
I I love him to life.
What he did,
turning the program around at Ss
well as here last year, good ma.
I had a moment with him in
the middle of the field.
One of the guys were injured.
Just to let him know how
much I appreciate him,
how much I respect him for
what he's accomplished.
And I and I I really look up to.
He's a good man and his
team was well coached today.
Let's have some questions so I n
go back enjoy myself with my ki.
Brian,
go ahead. There's no Mike.
How much fun was today for you just to
see all the hard work come and you guys?
Well, it was.
I'm not going to say it was fun.
It was satisfying.
In the end you got to understand time.
The 2nd ticks off the clock.
I'm ready for next.
Like I'm thinking, OK, we got tx
this, fix that, fix that.
Because we got to be much more
dominant next week in all phase,
not just one phase, but offensi,
defensively, special teams, offensive.
We we did it. Defense, we got
to fix some things.
Special teams were horrendous.
We got a kick block as well as
during their gave up a touchdow.
That was horrendous.
How you doing, sweetheart?
For real, Shador Sanders from my HBCU.
The one that played at Jackson last year,
The one that you asked me. Why
would I give him the starting jb
but like that? No, not you.
I got receipts. I know who they.
Not you, baby. I just got to say it. I
would never do that.
Wow.
Well, he and Shiloh just came
when I was in the training room,
get my foot worked on.
He and Shiloh just came and of
course Junior was filming it,
so we had a dad moment.
They were really happy elated.
Shiloh came in there being apologetic because
he he noted a couple tackles he missed.
I'm on his* right now.
But he said he had 10 tackles
and I checked the stats and he,
I think he did so.
But I was just dad in there moments ago
and I'm proud of both of them really.
I really AM And and and junior
because his work shows.
His work is why some of you are here.
The your other son Travis
son. Yes. Can he.
I try to tell you but Jay want o
believe me because I'm just a yu
know I'm just a lofty old young coach.
I don't know nothing about foot.
You know, I just played in the NFL for 14,
played at a high level in college before,
you know, and been coaching youh
all the way up for a long time.?
How do you think we got dealing networks?
I coached him when he was
four to seven years old.
That's why we got dealing netwo.
So Travis is is him.
Like the young folks say, Travis is it.
I I really think, you know,
I always promote all my kids.
I really think
we got a couple guys is should e
frontrunners for the Heisman right now.
I really that's how I feel and I want
to promote my kids at all costs.
But we got a couple of them thao
did that, who did what they did today.
Well, Dylan Edwards is phenomen.
I've been saying that since he was four years
old and we see that in practice all the time.
They'll let the size fool you.
Dylan looks in the mirror like Shallow Hal.
He thinks he's when he looks in the mirror
he see a £215 man that's probably about 6-4.
That's the way Dylan addresses .
And I think he he had a little
injury of his ankle early on and
he thought it popped like, no,
no, God wouldn't have brought yu
this far for that, not right no.
Watch you, but the impact you're
going to have in his game,
and he had tremendous impact.
Dylan is a dog, man,
but you're going to consistently
see what he does on a weekly bas
because this is how he practice.
This is how Travis practiced.
This is how Shador practiced.
This is how those receivers I've
been talking about and talking
about that you didn't believe.
This is how they really go to w.
The defensive front.
I mean,
this is how they went to work as well.
We got to clean up some things,
but those guys weren't.
I think they played a pretty good game.
Turn on the film.
I tell him to turn on the film.
We going to, we going to continuously
be questioned because we do this
that have never been done. That's the
way our life has presented themselves.
We do things that have never been done
and that makes people uncomfort.
When you see a confident black n
sitting up here talking his tal,
walking his walk, coaching 75%
African Americans in the locker room,
that's kind of threatening.
Oh, they don't like that.
But guess what?
We going to consistently do what we do.
Because I'm here and ain't going nowhere.
And I'm about to get comfortable in a minute.
I'm about to get comfortable in a minute.
Because guess what,
these young men in there right ,
they believe.
Not all of them believed before,
but right now they came up 1 by,
tools by tools, coach, we believe now
they believe now Boulder believ.
People in the front office,
people, people in the building,
the fans, the students.
Now everybody want to believe
I'm good with that.
We got room
because I was just thankful.
You got to understand I'm,
I'm human. You know
I deflect a lot of things but I'm human.
So I feel some things and
and I'm a natural giver.
I'm a natural giver.
I give, I give, I give, I give.
And every once in a while,
you know, I have one of those ey
moments that I got to reflect o.
And these coaches are so good.
Rick George, forgive me.
Opportunity and just what we
accomplished out there today.
Ain't none of y'all believe tha.
Maybe a couple of y'all that
knew me and know how I get down.
They know I'm a winner.
We going to end up winning.
Ain't none of y'all thought you
was going to be sitting up here.
You you supposed to be on the other side,
you know,
interviewing that or coming and asking me
or what happened. You
said this and you said that.
Yeah. Now what? Now what?
Everybody quiet now. Now what?
Come here, dog. Yeah, that's
one of our guys. Does.
* is. I appreciate you, man.
I appreciate you, though.
Keep on doing what you do.
Thank you.
That's one of our supporters.
When none of y'all was supporti,
is he had our back.
You believed in you.
All right.
What's up, boss? You believe no?
You. You. Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on hold. No.
Do you believe in that? Huh.
Oh, no, no, no. I read through.
That bull junkie wrote down.
I read through that. I
sipped it through all that.
Oh, no. Come on. Do you believe?
You don't believe. You just answered it.
You don't believe next questionu
don't believe. You don't believ.
What's up, girl?
Yeah, they want all of it.
We really hadn't met yet.
We really hadn't met yet collectively
to kind of engulf everything.
We may do that on the plane bece
everybody's going to be there,
but because I wanted
them to enjoy the moment,
go see their parents, the frien,
the loved ones who truly suppord
them and came all the way here.
So I didn't want to just call
a a meeting really impromptu
because I was in a lot of pain.
I had to go get myself taken care of.
But I am so proud of these young men.
The training staff, the equipment staff,
the spirit, the conditioning,
all the staff that we brought
on that beautiful plane.
I'm so proud of everybody becaue
it was a collective effort.
It truly was.
Yes. Yes.
No, no, no, no.
You got to go back before that, you got to.
No, no, no, you got to go back.
I land against my boy Zimmy,
my dog Zimmy in Fort Worth youth ball,
you know, with five and six year olds,
seven and eight-year olds,
9 and 10 year olds, 11:00 and 1.
I've been doing this for a long time.
So I'm, I reflected back when we landed here
on all these battles we had in the hood,
playing youth football,
playing youth baseball, basketb.
We've done a lot of,
we played a lot of games in Fort Worth, man.
So that was on my mind.
Just just the consistency of
that and how that affected me
and established me and helped
me get to this point in life.
I love it. I love it. I love it immensely.
That's all. We were preaching, .
We were just preaching.
One stop. Just one stop.
Just one darn stop.
It's always preaching.
I always had confidence.
I knew as long as we had the
ball I knew she door was going
to get us down the field.
I I but we just needed to stop
and they kept running this
Durham cross the routes and we
was picking and we're going to
communicate and the guy comes fe
when he gets across the hash and
that just got on our last nerve
because the coaches did a great
job of calling the right defens.
We just didn't execute.
But we going to fix that
last one. Jake
BNBR my man. Yeah,
I think they it's 510 yards
worth worth of good today.
And then we missed some big one.
We missed Travis a couple times
earlier that Shador has to hit.
But the offensive line,
I'm proud of him, man.
I had a tremendous moment with g
Tank in the locker room moments
ago and I'm really proud of him.
Both of those big fellas on the,
both of them are 69.
But they say we were too small.
Not good, not good.
But I'm thankful and God gave
me what I needed to finish. I'm.
I'm thankful that I finished.
That's all we want to do
is start and finish. I'm
not vindictive like that.
I just like them to know that I
know that you really ain't with.
You really ain't with us.
You really don't believe.
You really don't want to see me.
You don't want to see me in in,
in in victory or at peace and have joy.
I know you don't want to see th,
but I love it. Ain't nothing
different. Why would I
expect something different?
It was like that when I played,
right? So I'm just.
I'm playing another game.
I'm just off the field.
I'm not on the field
now, but I can affect what's on the field.
And I'm thankful for that. I
really am. How you doing, man?
God bless you. God bless you, m.
You're a pioneer.
You know that, right?
Right. You're a legend.
And I appreciate you, boss.
Yeah, we're good. Thank you.
Appreciate you man.
