Okay, um, first off, well, we continue to sit 7 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:38.359 here and wait on the PAC twelves a TV deal. The Atlantic Coast Conference 8 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:45.439 today announced that they're gonna put fifty a total of fifty uh combination of fifty 9 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:52.960 college football and basketball games on the CW over the next uh. You know, 10 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.359 people are happy with that or not. Here's the thing and here's the 11 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:59.600 thing that bothers me about this. Right when the CW got mentioned as part 12 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.960 of the PAC twelve TV deal, people mocked that they've ridiculed. They're saying, 13 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.439 oh, the PAC twelve, they're gonna be on the CW, you're 14 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:10.439 gonna be coming on after Gilligan's Island. None of that. Today. It's 15 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.560 a great deal for the ACC, more visibility, YadA, YadA, YadA. 16 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:15.760 They gotta you know, they're gonna do one game. You know, 17 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.519 CW's gonna have one game every Saturday, isn't Isn't that about the audience now? 18 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.239 Like it just come on, it's about there, and it's about the 19 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.120 media. Sea, it's about the media. The PAC twelve got relentlessly mocked 20 00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.680 about putting it because they never said the CW is gonna be our main sure 21 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.680 thing. They just said we might have some games on the CW, and 22 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.040 people were going crazy that they're gonna be coming on after I dream of Genie 23 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.760 upon a for the review. Wouldn't you rather have them on CW rather than 24 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.920 the PAC twelve network, who who no one pays attends to you in the 25 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.359 first right, right, And and that's what they're saying. You know, 26 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.879 the ACC network has basically been Raycom. Okay, that's what these games, 27 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.879 So noo, they're gonna be on the CW. They point out, more 28 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.840 people have the CW than access to the ACC network, so it's a good 29 00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:07.879 deal. But yet when the PAC twelve was doing it, it was ridiculous 30 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.400 and it showed you how far the PAC twelve had fallen. So you're telling 31 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:14.639 me that some of the fans where elad us not just the fancy, the 32 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.719 media too, and it really pisses me off. I'm getting angry. I 33 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:21.039 got I got all fired up in about it three seconds there. But it's 34 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:24.319 it's it's it's just so crazy about how how true of course is of course 35 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.240 right? But but yes, So they are going to be on the CW 36 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:32.599 says a total of fifty college football and basketball games, and the basketball is 37 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:38.919 both men and women. Um. There. The first game on on the 38 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:44.280 CW will be on September nine. You'll be Pitt taking on Cincinnati. Um. 39 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.960 And then they'll have a game at least one game every Saturday throughout the 40 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:53.800 seasons. The thirteen football games, batman's basketball games, nine women's basketball games. 41 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:59.520 So there you go, and everybody's thrilled, everybody's happy. The BASc 42 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:05.039 has done really great thing. Screw all of you. Let me calm down 43 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.360 for a second. I gotta take a deep bread. Can I fill it 44 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.639 in real quick? So did you see that there's a possibility that t J 45 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:15.879 mccondll might be going to the Suns, No go in a trade for the 46 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.039 guard. The guard uh that they talked about. Hold on, it'll come 47 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.360 to me, um campaign oh for campaign. Wow, that would be a 48 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:30.719 nice little thing. I'd like more. I like that move for Phoenix because 49 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.000 he's more of a point guard and he can get and he doesn't care about 50 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.639 scoring. Right, He's gonna get the ball to who needs whoever needs to 51 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.120 get the ball, have the people to do it right, and there're guys 52 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.240 he can get it too. It'd be perfect. And I don't know if 53 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.360 he'd sell tickets, but there'd be a better team. Yeah, does that 54 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:46.240 make sense. It makes a lot of sense. Yeah, it makes a 55 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:50.960 lot of sense. All right, Um, okay, there's there was actually 56 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:58.439 a discussion among among the uh ncable A Division one man's basketball committee and actually 57 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.840 an agenda item talking about Spain the tournament we talked about there. You know 58 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.840 this this um this committee a while back, I forgot what they call it. 59 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:11.919 It's sort of a restructuring committee recommended the twenty five that in sports with 60 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:16.480 over two hundred teams, that twenty five percent of the teams should be in 61 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:21.839 their postseason tournaments, which would mean for both men's and women's basketball, about 62 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:27.000 ninety in the tournament. You get a trophy, You get a trophy, 63 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.600 You get a trophy. Hate this now they're saying it's not imminent. But 64 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.519 you know, one thing, but a ball like that gets rolling, it 65 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:39.160 usually have who's who's making that decision, right, well, the basketball committee. 66 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.439 Then there's a power, the power. It's an NC double a committee. 67 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.680 Um, you know, they'll they'll make a recommendation and then I don't 68 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:48.920 know who in the membership votes on it is they are they who's spending the 69 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.480 money to get the teams there. It's a cash grab, it has to 70 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.319 be. Yeah, they wouldn't do it if they didn't get benefited financially, 71 00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:58.920 right, No, yeah, yeah, it's if it's a lot, if 72 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.759 it's a losing they're not financial they're not doing it. And so they still 73 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:03.759 got to pay for the teams to get to the tournament and all that. 74 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:08.879 It must be pay for itself. Another week of game. I don't like 75 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:13.279 it. It's an extra week of NC double A tournament game, which is 76 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.519 fine, which is fine. It will be there, right, we'll be 77 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:16.920 there. We'll talk about it if they do it. We're not gonna not 78 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.680 pay attention to it just because we don't like it, which is fine, 79 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:26.519 but it just doesn't seem exclusive enough anymore. Yeah. Again, it's the 80 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.199 partiation trophy. If you're gonna allow me, if you're gonna allow me into 81 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:30.800 a club that allows me, what's that saying that, let's meet in. 82 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.199 I don't want to be part of it. Yeah, you know. And 83 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.920 and look, you know the coaches love it because now it's easier for them 84 00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.720 to say, hey, I got in the tournament. You can't fire me. 85 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.879 Then the ad says, I remember, Jim, you're a ninety seed. 86 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.839 Yeah, your bonus. No it doesn't work. I got it. 87 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:55.120 I'm hating that. I'm really hating that too. I don't want I don't 88 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.720 want them to do that too. I don't want them to do that at 89 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.279 all. All right, Um, okay, some rough us. So the 90 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:06.839 woman who was seriously injured in that car crash where Georgia football player got killed. 91 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.040 The other football player, uh you know, was also drag racing, 92 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:16.959 well shocker. She has sued the University of Georgia and the player that will 93 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:21.759 not on the NFL guy. She has sued both of them for the crash 94 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:26.319 that took her January fifteenth. Did you see a poor report yesterday? I 95 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.319 think it was yesterday. I saw ESPN somewhere that there's still a lot of 96 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.839 people getting in trouble. Well, the Atlanta Journal, well the Atlanta Journal 97 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:39.959 Constitution did a big, long investigative piece that covered a couple of things. 98 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.839 One, there's been a number of UH sexual abuse sexual assault cases among the 99 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.560 Georgia football team that have kind of been that and they kind of been swept 100 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:54.800 under the rug. And since the January fifteenth, this crash that killed a 101 00:06:54.879 --> 00:07:03.720 one almost killed another one, there have been eighteen more obsessive speeding UH incidents 102 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:09.279 involving Georgia football players. Um. The most recent one was just a few 103 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.439 days ago, a guy going eighty and a fifty five. Yeah, you 104 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.000 know, so they're not getting it. And Herbie Smart is being called on 105 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.800 the carpet for when are you going to do something about that? And he 106 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.199 says, we're trying, and they're saying not one of your guys has been 107 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:26.199 kicked off the team, so you're not trying, right, or suspended or 108 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:29.079 anything. Nobody's been punished for any of So if they have been punished, 109 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.399 then tell us that they've been punished and tell us what the punishment is, 110 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.120 but don't tell us you're trying, and then not tell us what you're doing 111 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:41.399 to try you know, so they're Georgia. You know they're which is great. 112 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.399 They're not you know, you know, the Atlanta papers not letting Georgia 113 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:46.519 skate on this, which is you know, which I think is a good 114 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.399 thing. All right? Um? What was another one? So here's a 115 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:55.639 couple of a couple of gambling things. So if you took the over eighty 116 00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:00.279 nine and a half wins on the Cardinals, you're in big trouble now because 117 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.199 they're in last place in the division. And that number if you bet it 118 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.600 now with seventy five and a half, so you're going way under the other 119 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:13.600 hand, the Reds, who's over under wins was sixty five and a half 120 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:18.000 already have fifty. Get on that baby right now. Killer CRUs keep doing 121 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:24.120 it. I keep watching that video of him stealing three bases, three bases 122 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.319 on two pitches. They weren't even close. They weren't even close. Who 123 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.000 sim stealing home? It was like he robbed him. Yeah, it was 124 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.000 like he was already halfway there more than that. Um, all right, 125 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.320 another thing one of those things that I kind of don't know, well I 126 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:43.480 understand, but just the complications of all of this. The federal government, 127 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.639 Congress is looking into I think it's Congress is looking into. Yeah, the 128 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:52.120 Senate is looking into, um, this agreement between Live Golf and the PGA 129 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:58.320 checking for and I trust issues. And in the agreement, the two leagues 130 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:05.000 and the DP Tour in the European Tour said they agreed we will not poach 131 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.919 each other players. Well, the Senate has said that sounds like an I 132 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.639 trust to me. So you either get that the hell out of your agreement 133 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.720 or you guys are in big trouble. So today they announced that, uh, 134 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.679 that they're going to take that out of the agreement. But they're still 135 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.440 looking at this thing, and there's still a lot of animosity. I was 136 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.000 still a ton of animals. I saw the quote by who was it, 137 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.919 Ricky? Ricky he's been hot though, Um Rory, yeah, I was. 138 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:33.759 I don't care. I don't want to be captain. I don't want 139 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.480 the other I don't need any of that. Right while they're trying to get 140 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.120 Rory and Tiger to be captains of of you know teams that the Team Golf 141 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.480 that that Lived does, and they don't want to do that. They just 142 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.159 want to play. So there's still a lot to come on that one. 143 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.519 So that's that's kind of a mess. Um, that's more or less. 144 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.960 Okay, did you I saw something? Let me call it up real quick 145 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.840 earlier today, Bijean Robinson. Take an estimate and how much he'll make this 146 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:05.759 year? Oh no, thirteen point seven million in total cash this season as 147 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.799 a rookie, which is the most by any RB this year. We gotta 148 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.840 go. We gotta get Cleo and no running back is even within one point 149 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.799 five million of this grand total thirteen point seven million.

But oh, here, I just saw how 169 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:41.919 balls just retweeted this thing on on t J McConnell man. Yeah, fans 170 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:43.159 here would love to see it. I've certainly got some more fans at that. 171 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.279 You'd have two of You have a guys, and he's like eight years 172 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:52.639 deep into that league. When when when when you first heard Sean twenty was 173 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.320 saying that he was going to be in the NBA, You're thinking, what 174 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.600 do you see? Yeah, yeah, right, but you know, smart 175 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:05.879 player, unselfish player, hard worker, can score, right, all the 176 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.320 reasons that Solomon Hill stuck in the league for as long as he did, 177 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.559 Right, But but then you but then you realize, how come other guys 178 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.639 don't do that because they don't do what he They choose not to. Yeah, 179 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:18.519 they choose not to. They think they think the talent. I think 180 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.080 people are gonna recognize the talent, that they're gonna stay because of the talent. 181 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:24.440 And then they you know, and then people say, there's a lot 182 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.000 of guys like you. You need you need to up the rest of the 183 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.720 game, and they don't because they think that what I've got is good enough. 184 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.399 And that's and that's unfortunate against you. I should have you know, 185 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.080 if even I just could have had t J. McConnell's talent, I would 186 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.360 have been happy with that. I didn't even have that. They didn't even 187 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.759 have that. Yeah, well you gotta would, uh you know.

We're 331 00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:19.640 on an eight game, really a nine game on beaten stake, So for 332 00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.079 us, it's incredible that you know, we have the opportunity in the last 333 00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:26.839 game the season to be meaningful. We always want that. And like I 334 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.279 said, I mean, this team is really just pulled together and really put 335 00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:33.519 performance after performance together. So John, this is the you know, the 336 00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:40.000 first year that you went to USL too. So is there a playoff situation? 337 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:42.519 I mean, what's the what's the future after this? After this game 338 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:48.279 on Saturday. Absolutely. So the situation is this, we currently sit two 339 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.160 points behind the other team. We both have one game to play. If 340 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.640 we win our match and they draw or lose their match and they have to 341 00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:00.680 play against the top team in our conference, we're both bating for that second 342 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:04.519 playoff spot if we as long as we win our game and if they draw 343 00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:08.359 or lose, we have the tie breaker if they draw because we beat them 344 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.640 head to head, and if they lose and we win, we automatically go 345 00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:17.000 through. And not only that, we have the opportunity to host. We've 346 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:22.279 been granted rights to host, so it's a really massive opportunity on Saturday night. 347 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:25.640 So the boys are all set up and we really knew we have to 348 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:27.559 the most important thing is that we win. But you're gonna need a little 349 00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:30.759 bit of help. So it's been a fantastic season to this point. I 350 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:37.400 assume a win win. I mean the team is has only lost one time. 351 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.960 It's the four draws that have heard us you know, but we're unbeaten 352 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.359 in our last eight games. We're on a four game plus a friendly fifth 353 00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:49.119 game, five game winning streak, and the team has just performed magnificently during 354 00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:52.839 that period. I mean just not just wins, but wins with conviction. 355 00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:59.559 We smashed the second place team Redlands, who's ahead of us three nothing and 356 00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:02.920 they're and we just it's just tough at the beginning of summer when you don't 357 00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:06.759 have all your players in and you're trying to execute, it's just frustrating. 358 00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:08.960 But once all our guys got in, you know, we put in the 359 00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:14.119 national champions ben Tura, we had them beat we gave up a penalty the 360 00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:17.559 ninety second minute, or we already have quenched the playoffs. So I mean, 361 00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:19.720 again a little bit of frustration there, but we've got to get it 362 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:22.599 done this weekend and focused on the task ahead of us. What was there 363 00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.920 a switch that went on or that got flipped or something like that that this 364 00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.759 just started to happen, or you know, how how did you guys get 365 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.960 on this role? I think I think a big piece of it was the 366 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:38.079 forwards that we had come in. You know, one of our main attacking 367 00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:42.680 players the guy by the names of Oppose eight contest and he's from UCLA and 368 00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:47.759 he's he's a guy who's scored basically, you know, seven goals since he's 369 00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:51.960 coming in the last you know, five matches, and just his performance and 370 00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:56.160 just the performance of the other strikers finding their form has really elevated us. 371 00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:59.759 We've also shut out our opponents in the last three and the four matches, 372 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.440 and that's massive. I mean, so again, it's just the overall performance 373 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:07.880 of both defending it on the attack. It's really we've shown the quality of 374 00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.240 players we have. The system of play has really been integrated, and this 375 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:14.519 team is fun to watch. It keeps the ball, they're creative, they're 376 00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:18.279 tricky, they score absolute colossos and you know, really, I think the 377 00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.799 fans are just really desperate for us to win because they don't want it to 378 00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.319 end, because we're really peaking at the right time. You must be proud, 379 00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.400 not the right word, because I'd be self self gratifying, but impressed 380 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:36.000 with your move. You decided to move to this situation after last year. 381 00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:41.640 Did that help too? Kind of maybe making the move readjusting. I think 382 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.680 one, I'm proud of one the job, the staff has done, which 383 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.880 has been remarkable. I'm proud of the whole organization. I'm proud of the 384 00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:53.359 partner I have in Jeff Arnold and my coaching staff with Mark and the guys. 385 00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:56.960 But I think the thing that I'm most proud of is that the fans 386 00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:00.440 have really come back and really came out and fought for us. I mean, 387 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.200 we've put them through a lot as an organization, not with me at 388 00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:10.039 the Helm, but the namesake ob TWOS on the last four years has just 389 00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:15.480 put them through a lot of weather delays and frustration and ownership changes, and 390 00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:19.039 really for them to come back out and hunder that from a partnership standpoint of 391 00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:22.720 partners in the community and then the fans just to have a great summer where 392 00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:27.200 we've you know, exceeded where we expected to be on you know, number 393 00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:32.160 of tickets and revenue and pieces of that puzzle. I'm just so grateful and 394 00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:36.640 it's been so entertained and they've been so positive, and the games have been 395 00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.759 you know, effervescent, there's no better word for it. And the truth 396 00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:42.039 is that I know, you know, for me, I'm always filled with 397 00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:47.799 gratitude, So I just I think it needs to be better all the time. 398 00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:51.559 I like that challenge, but grateful is probably how I'm feeling. But 399 00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:56.359 I'm really pleased that we resuscitated the organization to a stable position with only great 400 00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:59.880 things to come in the next few years. Well, you meant you meant 401 00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.599 that as you talk about that, you know the sort of the boost of 402 00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:06.799 energy you've gotten from this season, So you know, what do you do 403 00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:08.480 with that? What you know are your what are your thoughts in terms of 404 00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:11.960 how do you how do you capitalize on you know, the great time that 405 00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:15.599 you guys have had this year. Well, I think for us, we 406 00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:21.160 know that we've got obviously the plans and I don't want to get into the 407 00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:26.559 communition obviously to the women's professional team launching in twenty four and our expectation is 408 00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.839 to relaunch as a professional team in twenty twenty five. I mean, we're 409 00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:36.480 not decentively saying which league it's going to be because usl IS just announced in 410 00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.680 August that they're voting for within the league a promotion relegation system. So it 411 00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.039 may make sense for us to enter in the league that we're in League one, 412 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.920 because we can win our way up. If that's not the case, 413 00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.240 and we want to go right in and you know, battle against the Phoenixes, 414 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.599 the El Pasos and those teams. You know, we have an opportunity 415 00:28:55.599 --> 00:29:00.039 to do so from an organization standpoint, should we we need the threshold for 416 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:04.119 our business plan. But the most important thing is we want professional soccer here 417 00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:08.200 for men and women and two soon. We want to make sure that we're 418 00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:11.839 at the top level we're bringing. We're making every efforts again to be a 419 00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.480 team that's you know, six and six and one with four draws. It 420 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:19.359 has a huge winning percentage and a great goal differential that people see this as 421 00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:23.599 a place where champions come from them. We're developing young players from Tucson on 422 00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:26.480 both sides, women and men. But yeah, like I said, our 423 00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:30.559 ambitions are really very high. But the most important thing for us right now 424 00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:34.240 is getting to the playoffs, trying to win a national championship with a men's 425 00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.880 team here, and then we're going to transition right away to building the teams 426 00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:44.839 for next summer and then obviously building a national championship, a Division one women's 427 00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:47.599 team that can compete, you know, against the best of the world, 428 00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:51.319 and that's going to be a huge challenge in our team months, so we 429 00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:55.160 want to make sure we get working on that right away. So I know 430 00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:57.480 you couldn't talk much about it, but you did talk some about it with 431 00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:03.119 the ownership stuff on the estimates from the public. How has that gone, 432 00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:08.720 Um, it's it's John fantastic. We've got um obviously some major events coming 433 00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:14.599 up once this season ends that connect with the Women's World Cup in August. 434 00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:18.039 UM, some real announcements coming in. So I'm able to tell you as 435 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:22.839 things have gone as well as I could have hoped, Steve Um. When 436 00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.799 we've we've met all of our we're meeting, we're on schedule to meet all 437 00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:32.480 of our goals that we've had for each month in each period, and so 438 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:34.200 I, like you said, if I had set back, so I would 439 00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:37.680 let you guys know, I would say, you know what, We're We're 440 00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:40.720 optimistic, but we still have some some ground to cover. But the truth 441 00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:45.359 is we've really been able to u to execute at a level that I'm really 442 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:49.079 pleased with. And I think we're going to have a real opportunity to have 443 00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.599 an incredible team here and for a long, long period of time. It's 444 00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.559 very very stable and sustainable. Well, you talked about the fact that you 445 00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:02.720 guys have a big game this Saturday on the Arizona Arsenal TuS was a little 446 00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:07.359 bit about what we expect to see on the field on Saturday. Well, 447 00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.640 again, we're playing the Arizon Arsenal Us are right in the mix of we 448 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.920 created, you know, the Golden Sawara. We brought that trophy back, 449 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:18.440 which was a Phoenix tusun rivalry which involves our women's, our men's and our 450 00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:23.720 academy. So right now we stand ahead because our men have won the game 451 00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:27.440 and drawn a game, the women split the games, and our academy team 452 00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:32.799 has won and drawn a game, so we can clinch it with the academy 453 00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:36.559 team winning and our team winning raised that trophy right on Saturday. But the 454 00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:40.079 arsenal is coach, spot my very good friend, I know they were embarrassed. 455 00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:42.400 We dropped six goals on them at home. Here, they're going to 456 00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:45.279 come with a chip on their shoulder. It's always hard to beat a team 457 00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:51.319 twice in a row in a short period of time. So again I'm expecting 458 00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.160 goals from both sides. I'm expecting a wide open game. We have to 459 00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:57.200 win, so we're gonna throw caution to the win and go for it in 460 00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:02.000 full fashion. Less we're hearing the other teams absolutely getting drummed in the first 461 00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:06.640 half, which is very very unlikely. So um, it's one of those 462 00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:08.759 weird ones that you see in the World Cup at the end of the group 463 00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:14.240 where you're playing simultaneously and you've got to get somebody watching the score on the 464 00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:16.039 one side, which will be my job, March job. It's just to 465 00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:20.400 coach the team to a victory. But we'll know exactly what we need minute 466 00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.519 five minute in that game. But ultimately we just have to make sure we 467 00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:27.920 do a good job of executing on the field. I mean, that's just 468 00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:32.599 control your controllables in all facets of your life. And I realized Steve that 469 00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:38.119 none of this is even humorous whatsoever, the coach talk that I'm doing right 470 00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:40.880 now. So if you need me to throw in a joke at the end 471 00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:45.079 of it, I just don't want to let you down. But we're executing 472 00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:51.200 at a great level. Mark Seba, Jason Victor have been amazing. And 473 00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:53.680 the team you know, all the players you know from you know, our 474 00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:58.720 goalkeeping, through the defense, cuity attack. We've got lots of potential pros 475 00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:00.880 and hopefully some of those guys. We'll be back playing for us hopefully when 476 00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:05.000 we reach Urn to the pros and maybe twenty five or twenty six. No, 477 00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:07.759 you're fine with the jokes, no jokes, but it's it's it's amazing. 478 00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:10.400 We talk about the heat here. You guys are playing under Party one 479 00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:15.599 hundred and two at game time. Yeah, it's it's it's a massive advance 480 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:20.400 for us against the most teams. Obviously the Arsenal uh you know, for 481 00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:22.720 them, they're they're used to it. I think that that's a that makes 482 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:25.799 the Phoenix game very interesting because it's always tough for people to go up there 483 00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:30.200 as well. But again on our field, which is big and it's very 484 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:34.000 good, and they are our groundskeepers do such an amazing job there. It's 485 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.640 a Keenan North Stadium. It's a ball roll smooth and if you're not ready 486 00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:39.920 to play and be stretched out and run, we have great depths on our 487 00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:45.039 team. We've got great athletes, were in top condition. So again for 488 00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:47.079 me, the heat has just always been an advance for us. We have 489 00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:52.240 our record in June and July has been so great in in this league, 490 00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:57.000 in our history being in League two.

We can talk about this tomorrow too, 593 00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:14.639 A breakout star in football team at I agree, I agree. I 594 00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:17.599 think I think, you know, a year, a year more physical, 595 00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:22.039 you know, putting on some you know, putting on some some weight and 596 00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:25.320 some you know, some skills. You know, he's not I mean, 597 00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:30.159 he's out of high school and you know over you know, I feel like 598 00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:34.639 what we saw from him last year talent wise. I keep thinking back to 599 00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:37.320 that. I think it was a Colorado game where he made that one hand. 600 00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:42.320 That's an eighteen year old kid doing that. You know he can do 601 00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:46.360 those things and now have another year in the program, another year you know, 602 00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:52.519 being coached, another year getting stronger and stuff like that. How good 603 00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:54.480 can that kid be? Right? No question? He was very I even 604 00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:59.079 tweeted a road about you know, this is the reason why they went after 605 00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:01.239 him. Yeah, for the plays like those, do those things, and 606 00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:05.599 then if he just makes the place he's supposed to make, Yeah, you 607 00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:07.280 know, and I mean I know there, you know, there maybe a 608 00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:09.719 couple of drafts, maybe a couple of times where he missed a block or 609 00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:14.960 missed an assignment or whatever they come with being you know, new in this 610 00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:19.480 thing. But you know, he certainly looks looks the part and seem to 611 00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:22.800 be doing things that made you believe that he could be really damn good. 612 00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.760 Yeah. I know I don't look excited or feel excited, Jay, but 613 00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:29.360 I am excited about the season because it's going to probably be the first time 614 00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:32.760 in a long while you're kind of excited to see the team play. Yeah, 615 00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:36.840 at least five Yeah, you're not you're not holding your you know, 616 00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:39.239 your eyes and what's this going to look like? You kind of feel like, 617 00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:44.360 Okay, you know this is a team that you know, you feel 618 00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:45.920 can come. There's hope. Yeah, there's hope that they could win seven 619 00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:50.159 games. Yeah, I mean, you know, tired of walking into the 620 00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:52.360 stadium and not thinking that you could win. Well, well, you're a 621 00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:55.559 fan and you have your fans that you you know, deal with at the 622 00:42:55.599 --> 00:43:00.840 tailgate. How is it? How is it when you go, especially during 623 00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:02.880 to some of the years, did you go and think we're just going to 624 00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:07.599 watch the game, no excitement about how possible win. It's like that we 625 00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:10.800 went through that with the Macavic years, where you were walking to the stadium 626 00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:15.119 and you're going, I just hope we don't get beat by sixty, right, 627 00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:20.840 that's no fun. No, I mean they played LSU at home during 628 00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:23.920 that time. I remember walking to the LSU game and I'm like, I 629 00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:27.400 don't know if that I even want to see this. Yeah, I'm going 630 00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:30.239 because I'm not going to be the fan that stops going because they're terrible. 631 00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:36.559 But I fully expect to lose by by six touchdowns tonight and then Oregon put 632 00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:38.599 a sixty on Arizona during that year, and I think we would walk into 633 00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:42.360 the stadium thinking they got no chance to win, and that was a terrible 634 00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:46.119 feeling. And then it came back during the Unfortunately the one the season that 635 00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:49.559 got horrible was the COVID seasons. We didn't have to go to the game, 636 00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:52.159 but you turned the game on TV and you watch the game. Steve, 637 00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:55.119 I did not turn off the seventy to seven game. I watched it 638 00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:59.480 the end, yeah one, because I felt like, I'm not going to 639 00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:01.599 be the fan that turns it off because it's bad. I'm going to watch 640 00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:05.000 it till the end. And it was bad. I mean, we kind 641 00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:07.760 of joked and we knew it when happened. But is he gonna come out 642 00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:10.280 a halftime or did Dave go down the sea? Enough already we've seen enough. 643 00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:15.039 Well, there's a really funny, funny little story time, right my 644 00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:19.880 friend Raymartinez, Yeah, late Remartinez. He was he was a fundraiser for 645 00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:23.360 so he would go down, you go down on the field on the sidelines 646 00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:27.880 during games. So there was a they were playing, they're playing us. 647 00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:36.119 It was the Macivic was playing Ucla. Ucla has got a third and forty 648 00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:40.679 one, third and forty one, all right, and they get thirty nine 649 00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:45.199 on third down, and then they score a touchdown on the next play. 650 00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:49.880 And I called Ray on his phone. He was sticking and he standing for 651 00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:53.079 me to you from John mckivic I called Ray on his phone and I can 652 00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:58.159 see him and he answers his phone.

And I know when the 658 00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:22.599 time came, we didn't know if they were going to fire him because no, 659 00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:25.760 so someone, because we didn't know if they had the money to fire 660 00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:29.239 him, right well, But and then in the end, right, they 661 00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:32.679 can't not fire they That's what he said. The future was too important for 662 00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:36.480 them not to fire him, right, Yeah, that's how Dave said it 663 00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:37.679 at least. Yeah. Yeah, And it was the same thing with Mac. 664 00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:42.400 I mean, it's just like and as a fan, it was awful 665 00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.239 to go to the games and we went to all the games. We went 666 00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:47.960 to all of them. We went, we went to all the game. 667 00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:52.400 We didn't miss a game during the man. We even traveled. We went 668 00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:59.119 to Wisconsin that that that horrible game at Wisconsin or walking into this yame and 669 00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:01.400 said, please, just don't be losing by three touchdowns at the end of 670 00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:05.000 the first quarter. And they were losing by three touchdowns at the end of 671 00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:07.679 the first quarter. Yeah, you know, you know it was it was 672 00:46:07.719 --> 00:46:12.559 not the Hawaiiar When they first played Hawaiian there was some promise and then they 673 00:46:12.599 --> 00:46:15.679 got they opened a San Diego State. Okay, so this Hawaii was his 674 00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:19.000 first year, but one of those years where they started his first year, 675 00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:22.840 they opened it. They opened at San Diego and they beat San Diego State 676 00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.679 and and we're like, okay, you know, and then they go to 677 00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:29.639 Wisconsin they got their ass kicked at. It was downhill. Hawaii must have 678 00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:32.199 been the second year. Yeah, oh okay, So you know, it's 679 00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:37.320 just it's terrible as a fan to have to yeah, yeah, have no 680 00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:38.559 questions. Questions. So yeah, so now we you know, we go 681 00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:42.760 to you know, we're we're excited. Look, we're gonna we're gonna have 682 00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:45.280 what we used to do. We used to do a preseason tailgate party every 683 00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:47.920 year the week before the Saturday before the games. We're gonna have a party 684 00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:52.440 somebody's house, just as somebody's house. Um. Sometimes it was a race 685 00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:54.480 house. Sometimes it was a Raymartenzi's house. Sometimes, but we always had 686 00:46:54.519 --> 00:47:00.480 a preseason party. Tail would come. I did. I did a video 687 00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:02.760 from the previous year of our tailorhow and show like that. It would show 688 00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:07.239 the video would watch the best game of the year, you know, we 689 00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:09.639 just put it on the TV so it was on in the background. We 690 00:47:09.679 --> 00:47:15.400 had a lot of and we haven't done that in fifteen years, ten years 691 00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:21.840 because people got people didn't get that excited about the season. Art that tradition, 692 00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:23.239 you know, but we I don't think we did it all through the 693 00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:25.920 rich Rod years. But I think we're gonna we're gonna do one this year 694 00:47:27.079 --> 00:47:31.840 because we're our our our group. We're excited about the season, excited about 695 00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:36.159 going to the game, because you should be. Yeah. So another person 696 00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:38.880 just texting me, Ellie Skaggs with the no errors was a pretty impressive deal. 697 00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:42.599 I mentioned, yeah, just to just we had that one. We 698 00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:45.719 had that one. Yeah, all right, Um. It just came across 699 00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:52.480 John ros Rothstein just uh Rothstein Rothstein basketball writer, National basketball writer uh says 700 00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:57.880 that source. His source says it Colgate is going to be on the basketball 701 00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:00.679 schedule, uh this year, the twenty twenty three, twenty four basketball schedules. 702 00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:06.039 I don't know when. Okay, Well, it's just adds to them 703 00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:08.480 to the greatness of the less. Next year's not the Colgate does but the 704 00:48:08.519 --> 00:48:12.599 whole but co Gates. The tainment's been good. They've we've seen them in 705 00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:15.960 the tournament now and again and stuff, So we might we'll have Colgate. 706 00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:19.920 I'm sure here right, it's not going to sound They're not going to go 707 00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:23.119 to Colgate UM. And then we just saw a thing that the north Western 708 00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:31.480 baseball coach has been fine, right for some abuseve and bullying. Let me 709 00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:35.599 let me say this to Jay. I mean we've lived, we live in 710 00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:38.119 a different time with coaches and which you can and cannot get away with. 711 00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:42.800 That's the right train because you can. It's almost your too. You can't 712 00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:45.039 be tough on them. You can't be tough on them, right, well, 713 00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:49.559 you can be tough without being demeaning. You can't well what does that 714 00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:52.199 mean even that. Okay, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what 715 00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:55.679 you're not supposed to do, okay, which to this day I regret having 716 00:48:55.760 --> 00:49:04.039 done this. How many years ago? Um? Okay, so okay, 717 00:49:04.199 --> 00:49:07.559 So to this day I still think about this week days. No, no, 718 00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:09.719 no, um uh. You know I was the head coach, but 719 00:49:09.800 --> 00:49:14.039 I was coaching third or third base coach wasn't there normally, I'm coaching third 720 00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:19.800 and uh, our best hitter was at the plate. We had a guy 721 00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:23.760 on first, the bottom of the order. He had gotten on a walk 722 00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:30.280 and he steals on his own and he gets thrown out by you know, 723 00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:34.639 a lot. Okay, the catcher gave the catcher. This was a cat 724 00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:38.400 grad. The catcher got drafted, all right. So he threw the heat, 725 00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:43.320 threw him out by a lot, and he was on his own, 726 00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:45.559 fright. He just he just took off. And I do not know why 727 00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:47.519 I didn't get I didn't give him any sign of any sort to go, 728 00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:52.639 and he went. And instead of just taking him into the dugout and say 729 00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:57.199 dude, what are you doing? I screamed at him. I chased him. 730 00:49:57.360 --> 00:50:00.480 He's jogging off the field. Were you in the game. That was 731 00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:02.519 the third out. No, but were you in the game. No, 732 00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:07.159 you were getting be yea. Yeah, he's running jogging to the dugout. 733 00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:10.960 I chased him to the dugout and I yelled at it. Woud who? 734 00:50:12.079 --> 00:50:15.719 In front of everybody? Okay? And I felt I never I shouldn't have 735 00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:19.239 done that. What did you say? I didn't cuss at it. What 736 00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:21.320 are you doing? I screamed at him, what you know? What the 737 00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:24.480 hell are you doing? Blow? The way I did it was bad? 738 00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:29.800 Why because people, because the whole place heard it. Well, if I 739 00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:32.239 should I feel like I should have taken him into the dugout. I mean 740 00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:36.960 I yelled at him on the first base line. Okay, so I'm the 741 00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:39.000 middle of everybody. I shouldn't take him into the dugout. If I was 742 00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:42.760 gonna yell at him there, maybe yell him or just what you know, 743 00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:45.280 getting get up a little bit in his face, like what the hell are 744 00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:47.239 you? Okay, So let me give you this example that happened ten years 745 00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:52.519 ago too, Sean yelling at Ki in the splits. Yeah, similar, 746 00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:58.440 probably in front of people in public on scholarship. Oh so no, there's 747 00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:05.079 no circumstances it was that was that was okay? I don't know. See, 748 00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:07.000 that's where that's where you draw the line. Okay, you get him 749 00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:12.039 in the locker room maybe, but there yeah, yeah, I don't know. 750 00:51:12.159 --> 00:51:14.679 Yeah. Well, as you said, though, you certainly can't do 751 00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:17.239 that anymore. You can't. It's almost right, you can't. What about 752 00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:20.679 football, because they do it in football every down again, what you know 753 00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:22.360 what, you can't grab their face, man, you can't like that no 754 00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:25.159 more. But we saw Rich Rode yell at some guys. We saw Stoops 755 00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:29.840 yell at some guys. You know, we never saw someone yelling anybody because 756 00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:32.039 he didn't give a crap about any of it. But you know, yeah, 757 00:51:32.079 --> 00:51:36.760 but you know what that explosion you saw Rich Rode in the in the 758 00:51:36.840 --> 00:51:39.519 in the press box, you remember, you know, yeah, there's too 759 00:51:39.559 --> 00:51:43.519 many people watching now sure, right, but they're not watching in the locker 760 00:51:43.599 --> 00:51:45.599 room. No, they're not watching the locker rooms. Sea. That's what 761 00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:47.079 I'm saying. I should have taken him into the dugout. If I wanted 762 00:51:47.079 --> 00:51:50.480 to yell at him in the dugout, that would have been the appropriate Guess 763 00:51:50.519 --> 00:51:54.280 what, Guess what the Northwestern Issues found out in the locker room. From 764 00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:58.320 the locker own, there's more stuff going on there. I'm sure, but 765 00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:00.880 you know again, but yess, you say certain things you can't do. 766 00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:02.920 Look, you know I saw stuff the two years I played you know, 767 00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:07.360 freshman jabe football at Sorrow, and I saw our coaches dude things.

You know, 771 00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:21.920 that's the way it is fifty years ago now, but that's you know, 772 00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:24.880 that was that was those with the times.
