00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it. Welcome live the Dunkin Music Lounge. Great

2
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>crowd on hand this Tuesday night. As the season gets underway.

3
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm like Chrispino, this is Jim Moore to my right.

4
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>We will be talking on.

5
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Tuesdays about what happened over the weekend and what's ahead

6
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.559
<v Speaker 2>for the Huskies in football. So we hope you'll be

7
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:22.000
<v Speaker 2>joining us on the ninety seven nine of the Yukon

8
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Sports Network. But nothing better than a live audience. You

9
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:26.800
<v Speaker 2>get to meet some of the folks that come to

10
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.160
<v Speaker 2>our games. We get to meet the coach and hear

11
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:33.479
<v Speaker 2>what he has to say. Not for public consumption, for

12
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.079
<v Speaker 2>the press, like sometimes you have to act a certain

13
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 2>way in front of the press, But when you're here,

14
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I noticed that you're able to say things, and you

15
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 2>say things that we don't hear as a member of

16
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.960
<v Speaker 2>the press staff. Is that fair to say? Yes, and

17
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>that is a good thing.

18
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:51.399
<v Speaker 1>I think.

19
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.399
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. It can be. It can also be

20
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.320
<v Speaker 3>not so good for me if I say the wrong thing.

21
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 2>No, you don't say the wrong thing. Listen, well once

22
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>in a while, Well that's all right. Nine and four

23
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.159
<v Speaker 2>last year, let's go back to that first before forward

24
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Fenway Bowl one of the great moments, I mean in

25
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Yukon football history in my mind. Weird, crazy weather day

26
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>and playing in a baseball stadium against North Carolina, an

27
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 2>acc team. We haven't beaten enough of them yet. We'll do.

28
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 2>We'll get to that. But that day I felt and

29
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the way the Yukon fans showed up there and got

30
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 2>behind this program was tremendous. I think that's a step

31
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 2>in the right direction.

32
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:33.640
<v Speaker 3>It certainly was amazing, and I believe it's a step

33
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:35.519
<v Speaker 3>in the right direction. We flud you can carry on

34
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 3>them with that energy and that success, But it was

35
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 3>a special day, you know. And been able to play

36
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.200
<v Speaker 3>in a lot of big games in my career, participate

37
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 3>in a lot of big games, and that was one

38
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 3>that I'll never forget. Just being in Finway, historic Finway.

39
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 3>I've always been you can boom me if you want,

40
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 3>but I've always been a Red Sox fan. Hey, all right,

41
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 3>there we go. You know, the Green monsters behind us.

42
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 3>We're playing Carolina Belich's new team, and we got after

43
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:05.359
<v Speaker 3>him pretty good. But I think the thing that'll stick

44
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 3>with me most was just the energy in the stands,

45
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:10.680
<v Speaker 3>and it was a Yukon crowd. I mean it was

46
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.280
<v Speaker 3>overwhelmingly a Yukon crowd and they were excited to watch

47
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 3>their team play. And I felt that at moments since

48
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 3>I've been here, but we hadn't you know, we have

49
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 3>to earn that. I believe I said that for years,

50
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.360
<v Speaker 3>and I felt like at that moment it all kind

51
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 3>of came together with our team and our fans, and

52
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.680
<v Speaker 3>it was It was unique, and it was fun and

53
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 3>it was exciting, and we were pulling off the energy

54
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 3>of the people that were in the stadium and we

55
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.039
<v Speaker 3>were able to get it beat a good team, and yeah,

56
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 3>it was It was really a fun, fun day went off.

57
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Remember forever head coach to Morris with us on Mike

58
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:47.199
<v Speaker 2>Chrispino to play by play voice Lawski's. Another element of

59
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 2>that day that I think you appreciate, and I think

60
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 2>the University of Connecticut football people appreciate, is there were

61
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.479
<v Speaker 2>several guys on the field that day that had been

62
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>in the dumps prior right and saw this thing building

63
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 2>and saw you come to a culmination with that squad

64
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 2>last you know, December, and win a game. And you

65
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 2>could see it. The Delauney staff Johnnie Staffers and guys

66
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.280
<v Speaker 2>like that had been around and struggled and tried to

67
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 2>fight their way up the mountain. You got them there,

68
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 2>and boy, they loved it getting up there, didn't they.

69
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, they got themselves there. You know. They just you

70
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.599
<v Speaker 3>talk about Delawney or Jilanni, but you know, you think

71
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.639
<v Speaker 3>about Dumont and Chase and I mean the list goes

72
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 3>on and on. These guys that have just persevered and

73
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 3>they were one and eleven a few years ago and

74
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:39.919
<v Speaker 3>they hung in there and they kept believing and they

75
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 3>kept working and they never lost the faith and the vision.

76
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 3>And so to see some reward for that was pretty

77
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:48.840
<v Speaker 3>darn special. You know, those are things as a coach

78
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 3>that you really value is when the players that you're

79
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:55.560
<v Speaker 3>able to coach, you watch them, you know, fulfill their dreams,

80
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 3>you know, and their achievements, and it's it's pretty unique

81
00:03:58.360 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 3>and it was a great day for that.

82
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Football, to me, is the sports that's the toughest because

83
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.159
<v Speaker 2>there's so much physical pain you got to go through

84
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.159
<v Speaker 2>to be successful, and it's a twelve month commitment. And

85
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 2>to see some of those guys who's you know, suffered

86
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 2>really trying to win football games come to that point

87
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.040
<v Speaker 2>in Fenway and play like that and then celebrate it

88
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.480
<v Speaker 2>with the Yukon's football fans. I mean, it doesn't get

89
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 2>much better.

90
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 3>No, you know, football is different than basketball, baseball, hockey,

91
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 3>some of those other sports. We get twelve shots, you know,

92
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.399
<v Speaker 3>we don't get in the thirties. So every game takes

93
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 3>on so much importance. And you know, those guys have

94
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 3>been through a lot, you know, and just to see them,

95
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, go out the way they did, and like

96
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 3>you said, just that connection with the fans in their

97
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:52.399
<v Speaker 3>last game, and I feel like they really felt that

98
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.879
<v Speaker 3>they had accomplished something. And they got their rings last

99
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.959
<v Speaker 3>actually this week or last week, and I wish I

100
00:04:57.959 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 3>had been able to see some of their faces when

101
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 3>that ring showed up in the in the mail form,

102
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.759
<v Speaker 3>because it was it was a special day. I have

103
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 3>so much respect for those young men and just the

104
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.360
<v Speaker 3>way that they they hung in there and they persevered,

105
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 3>you know, they had resilience.

106
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:15.079
<v Speaker 2>I was on the sideline today at practice with Ronte Jones,

107
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.759
<v Speaker 2>who was part of that team. Obviously, he asked me

108
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 2>if I got my ring, I'd like, ring, what ring?

109
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 3>It's in my desk. It's in my desk. I'll go

110
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 3>very much.

111
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 2>That is uh, that's a special moment. I got to say,

112
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 2>you win a bowl game, coming from where the Yukon

113
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.759
<v Speaker 2>was just four years ago, it's an amazing, amazing climb.

114
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.600
<v Speaker 2>We're going to talk about what happens from here. That's

115
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 2>next when we continue on The Yukon Football Coaches Show

116
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>with Jim Moore.
