And I don't think it's a big deal, but it's worth at least talking about, that Malik neighbors

looked sort of upset with Brian Dayball.

Yes.

They had a screaming match.

They were yelling at each other, whatever the heck you want to call it.

And as soon as I saw it, my attitude was channeling the great Tommy Lou Gower,

no biggie.

It's football.

I mean, guys are emotional.

Especially those guys. Absolutely. And Dave's in particular. He's just an emotional head coach. No doubt. So I don't look at, even when Josh Hart and Tom Fibito had that screaming match. Maybe I'd ultimately let the tips being fired. Who knows? But I looked at it as heat of the moment. Guys are competitors. No biggie.

But I was curious to hear what Brian Daibol would say after the game,

what Malik Neighbors would say after the game. Brian Daibu's answer was very straightforward. Basically what you said were both competitors, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Malik Neighbors' answer, which I want to play for you, was a good answer, but then he revealed something that would bother me if I'm a giant fan.

Take a listen to Malik neighbors being asked about the quote-unquote shouting match between him and Coach Table. I mean, I said I was going to speak up, you know, when it was time for me to speak up, but just trying to get guys going, trying to get everything going, I feel like we was, you know, lacking out there. The energy wasn't right.

So I took it upon myself to, you know, try to boost people up. You know, it's too competitive people going at it. So, I mean, he wants to win. I want to win. I feel like that's the reason he got me over here is because how, you know, me and him are just alike. So, you know, So it was two people just going at it.

We're trying to get the same outcome.

So that was really all. you know, me and him are just alike. So, you know, it was two people just going at it.

We're trying to get the same outcome. So that was really all. So the thing that bothered me, and maybe you could explain this, not an athlete talk, but to human talk to me, is it's the first week of the season. And Malik neighbors are saying the energy wasn't right? No, I think. What? So I think people hear that and they think, well, they came into the game not ready to play.

I saw a lot of people commenting on that. I think even some calls over the last day have been about... They didn't have the right energy. It's the first game of the season. Where does that come from? That was my reaction. Explain it to me. But that's not what he's talking about. what he's talking about is because this was midway through the second quarter. Right.

So this is,

we get off the first, the first start, first drive. It's just abysmal. It's like, oh, God, nothing works. You try to get that, you know, that little drag screen past Malik neighbors behind the line of scrimmage. He's the D-N's completely unblocked.

Russ tries to underhand it. It doesn't work.

It's like three and out.
