" I we had a -- lines enjoy in the coach at North Carolina State Tom O'Brien coach you don't. Doing great thanks so is the honeymoon over yet after you lose to central Florida Tony five point three -- always been over there -- well that makes the little different transition. Absolutely what are wonderful I mean they're great people and but I understand this situation we have here in the you know came here at the challenge of this program in the who we're going to do. What's been the most difficult aspect do you coach of the transition."
" Probably judging these kids. In trying to figure out who who they really are you know I don't have a lot of history with them just one game with men. In the practices we have been you know there -- some things that we saw on first last Saturday night that we hadn't seen since -- been yours though we got some things rectified have really played well the second half but. It's one of those things we don't know whose initial open in out in the play at any point right now."
" Top Steve Burton here what's it going to be like he'd come back here in Chicago team"
" it's by going to be I mean there's no question that was spent ten great years in Boston College in -- a lot of I'm really great kids. Heck -- football team and and those songs are the writers just have to practice that. Kind of figures those fourth and -- this if you're business -- seeing now. And -- 50 games with them more than 50 is that. You know these kids here you -- want to dispute the same questions destructive by the united -- you know. It was easy and no those kids apiece in in everybody knows that. -- group that is and and you know -- on rules landed different level this year. You know it it is normal because of that you're is that last year in the is that a great maturation process to go through. Would be part of football -- it will be tough especially if it's those kids that you know our friends you know that I'd like these is that you know -- of those kids."
" Have you given thought to how and when -- talked some your former players will be before the game one -- we try to avoid that talk to them after the game how will that take place."
" Well typical run and these two before the game you know it's impossible not to on the fields of truth of the pleasantries exchanged. All intestine and the talk seriously have to -- last football game."
" You said the matter I was the best quarterback you've ever coached in -- bonafide Heisman candidate. What makes him a special one coach."
" Well number one I think he has that inner desire to be the best works extremely part of the game. Is tremendous competitor and -- put that together with a talent he has tremendous talent and he believes he can complete every pass he throws. He's not they agree in the Asia which is wonderful for quarterback in. You know this year is able to move in last year he was stuck. You have five yards seven years behind the center we couldn't get him out of partnered -- new -- wasn't. And I think that probably made in the better quarterback now -- they would get out of pocket makes some throws that he was able to the a year ago."
" Because you know this team so well you also know their weaknesses in and obviously the triangle after that. But do you focus more time in is it easier to prepare for a game like this. On those witnesses."
" Well I don't know if you can. The other problem -- it -- from coaching a team for ten years in no weaknesses are easier you know of these guys. Approaching now we're just trying to in the minors there at the right way line. If you could tell him everything you want about opposition and you know we're more concerned about us right now so I think that's a little bit problematic. You know we we can go attack this -- that we get is going to you know -- lined up by the speed based offense of these these."
" If you allow -- don't know looked far down the road if you see Boston College this year win the conference maybe even sneak into the BCS Matt Ryan up in the Heisman voting. -- that kind of thing how much would you look at that with. Pride and would there be any amount of regret if you saw Boston College so successful this year"
" be tremendous amount of pride and about your regret. You know that this move in the one your movement wasn't city. You know restitution is that the decision was made this was you know purchases made the world going to be the next five to ten years in. In you know that the move on to a new challenge and I think the best thing that you can do is leave a program much better than that you inherited and in that program there Boston College might be a 1000% better than was on the day I walked in December of 96 so. You know take great pride with those kids accomplishment -- accomplish. That goal for the they deserve that the work toward -- put everything into it and you know it's but he -- of the it's a -- root for them every game they play this is I think they root for me but it we're going to be -- you know be against each other to have some more."
" The -- the big story out here has been you know on the pro level Rodney Harrison an -- THE in do you worry a ball that. Banned substance and other banned substances concerning your team do you talk to your team about that is that is at around --"
" You're always concerned about those situations and not just because of this here because of what's going on I think. You know once it's started with in the Balco situation years ago when -- before I know that. You know -- come in the camp every year whether it was BBC here at NC state in the trainers we talked we talk to him before they would this summer about. You know be careful who who do things you know what you take in -- They have any questions even of -- over the counter. You know there to visit that they can over the counter and that Indians human element in the reformists an -- yeah thank DNC that. Contain banned substances so that we person to talk to the trainers Paul and and columns specifically what's in the finger taken before they put it in the."
" When you've got there and in and saw your team. Did you have a question in the your guys ahead of time or you know in the back your mind do you ever think is that such and such player on something"
" I didn't want to get here and they you know but I think there's there are times in my career you know 30 years. You would strongly have suspicions as someone has done something in the."
" You approach that player or do you just wonder."
" Well it -- try to do it uses you can put him in the go to Estes the find out. You know you -- requested protest what you believe it's for street drugs or anything else in any program and in."
" And -- you interest. And you don't do do that would you on players is what you're saying."
" Well you have to do because I think that the number one of the NCAA comes and test them they're out -- here you'd lose your eligibility. And you know you're going to detested by the NCAA wants -- here not every one but you know the luck of the draw they are going to commitment that's maybe 40 athletes. From your program from your school Europe and then you total all. You have a chance detested."
" Tom in the offseason is senate quote was from -- BC not -- wins a year was about as good as you can do. The sky's the limit here at NC state when I get a win nine or ten year we're here to win more. The expand on that why -- why did you come of that when you -- BC's nine or ten wins is about as good as you can do what -- just say that."
" Olympic Games in the history there. Their school has been three times 1959812006 you know that doesn't give -- lot of indication that influences you know given they're very easy to achieve this look Boston College thank. Second of all when you look this conference and how much better it's beside views on the road you know it you've got to tested doesn't mean he can't do it. But it it's it's going to be very difficult I think that the consistently win now you know maybe it's a lot of wondering if there have been just the way. And things -- college football. You know that history doesn't project -- football. And -- said that down here because I think there's tremendous amount resources especially with cream based school football -- And the players they have here. The facilities the the club there's older probably top five in the country it made a commitment to their football program that emotional level that of the people haven't done -- we have tremendous fans than me for example. We have our spring game and everybody has been -- down here we did these Carolina north -- everybody the same day. We Drew more fans in the other three schools but you know -- You know came to our spring game so they knew they were campers and they before on the part -- so you know there's great fan base here. It is access to -- players that here you have great facilities and so I think if you get a chance would be top tier of -- but analysts."
" Hey -- lot of former patriot linebacker Ted Johnson's. Are you doing a I did they -- of course we by the US -- supports him on that that. I fastball mutineers directions bars in wins the best predictor for future is always the past so. If ten wins is best -- can do and that that's that that's not going out on the -- but anyway."
" Those ranked lady Doug Flutie and Matt Ryan or yes. Return pretty special people you know the history of peace in the you know it's nothing derogatory. You know it I don't know whose job -- by Ellis the third took doesn't make that comment. -- they obviously don't know -- mean it's just you know certain matter fact."
" very negative or does that you coach I mean I assure you know that by now do go to got a little southern -- so and then you're -- down in the south -- interested in. As far as recruiting that type of players armament expect your -- you year recruiting completely different players. That you would be would have been recruiting appears that that the case"
" they what I like they have some my team right now city and Morgan you have to dig guys' character. In you have -- good people and that's one thing that we have to do in this program. I think it's different here's our access to speed the we didn't have in the England that. You know it actually resist the triangle here in Raleigh has on the right track runners all times there's you know access to speed down here we -- too."
" To these pages at BC did you gets thrown out of Florida and get back on speed to do well."
" We tried you know when when you go to Florida you're always behind Miami, Florida. Or the states and then you fight over the -- would not order in the way they are central Florida's. You know much there's many schools in Florida and but they're still -- Soviet definitely going to be there's the popular as ever -- country in the 85 limit. Gives a lot of people a chance it's recruit more speed. But it was the same thing if your proximity to within your within a five hour drive which is most is go to college anyway book better chances to produce."
" Coach -- when you come -- tomorrow obviously BC coming off a big win against Wake Forest Ryan of the five touchdown passes put. What up what are the things did you see that may be surprised you from that -- homer somethings that. You thought that you might not see from BC this year"
" I don't think anything surprised me. As far as you know what -- what they're trying to you know decently I think you have to lectures and we got on the bus. I can sit next to each other and said this is this season project you know we've got in stop which -- on the ball so. Is he did a great job preparing a football in his Wake Forest it was a great rush to -- ago in. They ignored against is the and so. But that doesn't surprise me because what a great job he doesn't like great coaches and a lot of good players of these so. You know that there's -- I know that you know Wake Forest -- was -- applicable in order for us I was there and you know they a lot of -- prepared did you prepare for."
" Jeff J Gusinsky what's -- relation to -- did you have with him when he was here is offensive coordinator for two seasons and how do you think kill succeed here."
" Well you know we have a good good relationship but I guess is it is assistance with the coaches and and it was a situation where we're all trying to find each other and in. -- everybody understands. Kind of most of went on her visit that points you know very good relationship I think popovich."
" I coach good luck tomorrow not too much luck we look forward to seeing though thanks for joining us to let the good luck -- thank you. It's Tom O'Brien joining us. It is again real are pretty easy form outs that's going to be very difficult all around for a recruiting days though I think that was a good point in. And I know that that was a determining factor when you go down to coach at NC state. The whole new ball game is to just match up -- the whole new class of players that you can recruit. Selig has gone absolutely that's the -- segment meter."
" An -- I want to talk Colorado instead roll that a lot of things would go Ted Johnson joins us and welcome Matt welcome back -- today it's can be guys it and well let's let's there's a lot on the table patriots season it's coming up yeah HGH all the Rodney Harrison talk we got -- and keel you know received the -- supply of eight GA you tell us just break it down force. What in the heck is eight TH in what does it."
" Well the the main things -- says it's kind of like a but the modern day -- views through -- is it that -- benefits the the older players the most is it decreases by that will increase year -- muscle increases energy and enhances your immune functioning and campers sleep patterns in it's so for an older players those are all positive positive things is this something that day you knew about when you're playing did you researching it which in more players like talking about -- recorded did you take its GA now now now now and I get there tell you want but here's the thing is. However with the culture is like in the locker room while today with the cultures and here's the thing and I had. I get get ticked off when -- guys is. Assume that every you know everybody in the NFL state master that that's not that's not the case it from my experience and one team. But I do you see guys taken steroids I didn't hear guys talking about steroids NC guys. -- made maybe one guy who looked like you might administer steroids but didn't stay long it's just it just wasn't there was no."
" So you don't have the same suspicions were. That we have when we're looking at whatever they do it all on our football that I was going to take everybody telling the weight room somebody shows up the next year 30 pounds heavier with lots of muscle and you've been working your -- opinion in gained 30 pounds must and you look at him and -- out he'd do."
" In the -- program you know if I saw somebody just you know after after you know arts institute based on our minds of 315 ago. This man's insane knees he's doing something and it isn't isn't natural and that's with the reaction I was cat whenever I did 315 people walk and it's just it's just it's as if but the thing is guys -- talking about it right. And that's the thing union guys always trying to hey they've tried this and tried that but it was never steroids it was never growth I'm astound you the truth or."
" The attitude among teammates if you find out your teammate is using HGH you can ago. Well good for you because if it makes you better and helps us win that's two red."
" Every or worse of that question of who we gotta go to break because we got is that true that we have -- on. Well we do not have room on that take a break -- we allowed to talk about with the CH EH stuff let's take a break and then we'll come back with Ted Johnson. Right after this. I."
" The -- section of Baltimore their tenth straight loss at home with a seven to six victory play -- his three you know we worked out of a bases loaded no out jam in the sixth that relief from Tim Wakefield gave up six runs. In three plus including a two run homer to Kevin Allard David Ortiz hit a home run Coco Crisp also went deep for the first time. In 54 games Jonathan Papelbon struck out two. For his 34 save Jon Lester whose three you know we opposes the 914 Daniel Cabrera tonight catch it it's 625 on AM succeeding in 1440 FM"
