Back to one-on-one with D.P. Sponsored by the Downtown Lincoln Foundation, on 93-7 the ticket. He painted his face. He painted his face. If I pumped up his muscles, tight tassal signs, blew up his hair. He was Warrior Bob. He was the ultimate. But the ultimate Bach, the ultimate Bach warrior.

Thank you, kind, sir, warrior, sir. Warrior. How do you spell that? U-D-W-A-R, Y-E-R, warrior. I was like, get them. Get them. For you folks on YouTube, I do want to get through that some of the big issue would be that there's an excuse for everything. The frustration,

Lou Sassel says, the thing that frustrations me is that rule has an excuse for everything. By the way, I don't say that guy's name again. Oh, sorry. Gotcha, gotcha. It's a joke.

Yeah, I understand, but he deserved that for... He got it. Yeah, he did it. Yeah. Jeremy says this, how is the first move, not big guys?

Three years starter, O-Line is visiting a day. Those are valid questions. Mr. Blitzkriek says, should I start wearing my hat backwards? Okay, so just for the record, so everybody knows. Bach, I am a hat backwards guy. In full, have been for 30, 35 years. I think it's, I think, I think it's a nothing burger.

as a coach half the time when I'm coaching I don't know which way the bill of my cap is working sometimes if I have a headphone I want it backwards right in game I want it forward so I can pull it forward and it just sits on the bill right so imagine like we're sitting here with these headphones that if you're watching it and I have the bill of the cap when I pull it forward like that it'll sit on the brim right right if not and i slide it back and i have the hat on backwards it holds the headset in place

it sits on the backwards brim if it's sunny out sun out out of my eyes hat forward sunglasses If I'm indoors, no sun in my eyes, hat backwards, no disrespect intended to anybody. And guess what? I care the same amount when I'm coaching, whether the hat is forward or backwards. Sometimes one of my players will make a play where I'll throw my hat and I'll put it on based on how I feel. If it's a good throw, I'll probably put it on backwards. I'm watching something good. Bad throws, hey, sometimes build a hat forward,

but singles the focus. Whatever way a coach decides to wear the hat, I'm okay. I'm okay. But is that a, because I think that, you know, it takes kind of the context out of it where he called Coach Phil Snow, the Yoda on the staff, first of all.

Thought that was weird. Not enough attention to that, but he called him that, right? and then Snow said he needs to put his hat backwards and play, you know, coach the defensive line. And he did and that's fine and all. And I like that. But then when you go into the game and you do it, and then your defense looks worse than it did all year. You're accountable for it.

Yeah. Then it's not a fun little gimmick switch deal at that point. So every coaching staff has a Yote. The old guy that's been around and seen every version of it literally can whisper a thing that somebody has forgotten. Probably a little outdated, but quite frankly, you need that. wisdom in the room. They have a couple. Phil Snow, Ron Brown, like those are folks that, quite frankly, they've seen it through

it all. Fine and dandy. Some would say the backwards hat means we're going to work. That was the hope, yeah. We're going to work. We're going to work. Listen, hat backwards. Let's go. Let's get after it. Sometimes hat down. If I tug my hat down,

I think Dave Stewart from the A's pitcher, that all you could see underneath was the eyes. That's what sometimes, but coaches are different. So whatever your way is, whatever your thing is, whatever your thing is, do your thing. I'm not telling anybody who comes in here how to wear the hat. Is the job being done?

Now, if you're wearing the hat backwards and the job's not being done, I'm going to say something. If the hat's forward and you're not doing your job, hey, Bach, I'm going to say something. Can I wear my hat sideways? Well, you wore your head backwards. Your wife thought it was good looking. That's right.

I did because Matt rules. Right. But you understand, right? Yeah, yeah. And somebody told him, hey, Matt, you look five years younger with your hat back. You look kind of cool with your hat back. Why not? Like, so anyway, there's, there's so much of that spent.

Um, simple. Uh, over the time. Top, Stallone. Absolutely, Sando. Great pull. Great pull. It's the lone movie over the top where he's a trucker and an arm wrestler. Oh, yeah. And when it came time to lock down, turn that hat backwards. I'm old enough to remember when people gave King Griffey Jr. Grief because the kid, the kid, wore his hat back. And it was some old weird thing that I listened to people talk that it was disrespectful to baseball to wear you. your hat around turn your hat around get off my lawn uh i don't like the dh all the things stop stop you don't want to wear your head you don't like people weren't have back but don't wear your hat back you want to wear your hat backwards wear your hat backwards why do you why who are you to tell another grown man why where's that

If I came in and told you, hey, bot, turn your head around, you would look and be like, he has lost his ever-loving mind. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Just, you know, simple, simple bits. From the text line, the folks were adamant that we should talk about everything. We should talk about runsas.

We should talk about pizza. We should be talking about Husker wrestling. We should talk about Husker. Hoops. Michigan stays in town, and listen, Coach is, though, doesn't need a lot of hype. They don't need a lot of hype. Everybody in Lincoln.

And if you're going to the game tonight, Texas, that you're going to the game. If you're going to the game night, just let us know. I want to know, and if you're not going to the game, where are you watching the game? Right? And then if you're watching, if you're going to the game, will you wear your head backward in the game?

Will you do that? can that be a new thing we started with headband but can we have the so maybe back that's what we'll do in 2026 at some point is to have backwards ticket hats are we going to ensure that they're worn backwards well no to make to put a sponsor on the back mm nothing on the front well you put the ticket logo on the on the front but you have the sponsor logo on the back so somebody can put their name right out front and have all the tick all all all you breakers right how about that that's what i'm going to do bot baseball hats with breakers on the on the on the on the back oh yeah so they have to turn around with ticket on the front baker breakers on the what do you think

that's pretty good idea yeah right that'd be a good yeah if i got you and farley hot hats that said bach in the black shirt on the back and tick it on the front, how would you wear it? Yeah, you got to wear it. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I'm trying to build bent or flat. Listen, if you wear your grown man hat unbent, it tells me you are, you're, it's the funny thing, right? I'm doing the same thing.

Yeah, now you've got hat rules. Well, right. I'm telling you, it just lets me who you are. I'm okay with bent or flat. Me personally, I like it, Bill, because the flat ones as an outfielder

with an afro. If I wore my hat flat, as soon as I took off, not to say I was explosive, but Bach, when I took off, that hat was going to fly off. That hat was going to fly off. So I bent it so I could keep and it also helped break sun.

So if I turned to my head to my right, that meant that the sun was sitting on the left and that bill of the cap bent down would provide me some vision. Does that make sense? Yeah. Right? And if a ball's hit to the gap to my left, to my glove hand, that bent bill provides me extra work with the sunshades or the flip downs so that I can turn away and find the ball

within the sun and still track. Does that make sense? Yeah. Like there's an actual reason for bending or not bending. I'm okay with it all there. I'm a member of the bent bill club. That's just me. That's just me.

They're there. All right, Bach, we'll go to one final break. Come back, final segment before we hand it over to Bach and the black shirt here on the ticket. Watch live on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch. You're listening to One-on-One with DP on 937 The Ticket and The Ticketfm.com.
