So I talk about a lot 95 00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.280 about psychology, or try. 96 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.039 To at least, and emotions and things like that. 97 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.159 Did you and this is a wow ago maybe twenty 98 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.120 thirty years ago, right, you did that that you worked 99 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:05.840 in that capacity? 100 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:06.240 I was. 101 00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:08.639 I was there till twenty sixteen. Also not too long 102 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.840 not too long, not too long ago. And we know 103 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:13.919 how athletes are today, at least I do. I think 104 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:20.199 I do locally and otherwise. How it's a burden emotionally, psychologically. 105 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.920 So it's a lot to deal with. Was it the 106 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.360 same kind of issue at Army, because that's a different 107 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:26.160 cat there. 108 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.759 Yeah, I mean, I mean it is a different cat. 109 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.839 You are, you are, You've got all the responsibilities being 110 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.199 a cadet. You know, you're doing all the military stuff 111 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.040 that is that is there, You're going to all the 112 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.879 classes that are there there, and then you're spending your 113 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.879 time at football practice, right, it is. 114 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.519 It is a lot. It is a lot for them to. 115 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:49.360 Do, and they're different, and not to say it's a 116 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.720 bad different, they're just different because they have major responsibilities 117 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.800 with the Army for sure. The things that they have 118 00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:58.399 to do, I don't even know what word to use. 119 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.560 And athletes here today have a lot to do too, 120 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:03.560 you know, school Uh, and. 121 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:04.560 Yeah, that's it. 122 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:06.680 I mean, I mean, I'm assuming the NC is still 123 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:07.720 gonna want to go to school. 124 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:08.360 Uh. 125 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.759 That may change though in the future. See, well that's 126 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:13.680 that's the thing about Army is that you know at 127 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.519 Army now, so since I left, there's have been a 128 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.040 lot of changes. Obviously nil uh is one of them. 129 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.079 The uh you know at Army there is no nil. 130 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.040 I mean you're not you're you're not getting paid for 131 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:23.519 this stuff. 132 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:23.839 Yeah. 133 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.560 Uh. The athletes that are there, some of them are 134 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.959 the transfer portal. Some some are fine that are doing that. 135 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.000 But there you know a lot of the a lot 136 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.759 of the teams are looking for a different athlete than 137 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.399 then you're gonna get a West Point. 138 00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:37.000 Uh. 139 00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.199 Now they got to I tell you they got a 140 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:40.560 great coach right now, Jeff Munkin. 141 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:41.480 Uh he uh. 142 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.160 He came in with the mindset all the other coaches. 143 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:46.839 And I dealt with a lot of these different coaches, 144 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.959 including Rich Ellerson who who who coached there for a 145 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.600 while right before Jeff Bunkin. But I talked to a 146 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.560 lot of them, and there was one thing is like, oh, 147 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.519 we need to recruit a different type of athlete. We 148 00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.800 need We're not going to get the really good recruits. 149 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.680 We're going to get the other recruits. Jeff Munkin said, 150 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.040 forget that. I'm getting the good athletes. And so he's 151 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.560 brought in some exceptional athletes, a lot of speed, but 152 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:12.879 you don't get you know, you get a guy in 153 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:14.720 there that has got a you know, he's got a 154 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:15.480 really good GPA. 155 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:17.399 He's running a really good forty. 156 00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:20.800 But you know, the kids five p ten, you know, 157 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.839 and he's one hundred and sixty five pounds. He's running 158 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.800 the option really really well. He's really scoring it up 159 00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.319 and that's not going to translate to big twelve. 160 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:30.480 Right right. 161 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.240 So, and in your capacity, I'm sure you had to 162 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:39.439 deal with the emotional type of things, psychological kind of things, 163 00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:41.680 you know, you know, not so much my maybe my 164 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:42.759 girlfriend's leaving me. 165 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:44.839 Whatever, the day to day school. 166 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.680 Ye do you think they're different there than they are 167 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.120 here in terms of the person the problems they have. 168 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:53.360 I don't think that they're different in terms of the 169 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.879 problems that they have necessarily. I think that they have 170 00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.720 all the They have all the same pressures. I mean 171 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.040 all you know, they all want to go out and 172 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.560 they want to they want to get a date. They 173 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:06.480 all want to go out and they want to, you know, 174 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:07.639 do well in school. 175 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:08.079 They want to. 176 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.360 There's there's all sorts of outside pressures along the way. 177 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:15.720 I think that there is a You're going to have 178 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.040 to have a certain mindset to be at west Point 179 00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:20.160 that you're not going to get here. For example, I, 180 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.720 you know, you talk to students here and you know 181 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.399 you're like, oh, I have great anxiety. You know, it's 182 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.120 it's very tough for me to to do this or 183 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.240 get out there. And I and I don't like to 184 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.160 talk to other people. You're not going to be able 185 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.000 to cut it at west Point. When when if you 186 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.720 have something like that, it's just a it's a different attitude. 187 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.040 You're going to stand up in front of you know, uh, 188 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.800 platoon of soldiers and you're going to have to tell 189 00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.360 them what to do.

So you go 264 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:47.720 to the games. What have you noticed to the games? 265 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:49.320 You've seen what I'll tell you. The first thing I 266 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:53.080 noticed was that the stands were a lot more full 267 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.799 than they've been in the past, which is a great one. Yeah, 268 00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:57.360 I mean it's a great thing. I mean it's certainly 269 00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:59.279 something that we need. Yeah, I mean, if we're gonna 270 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.759 try and you know, one, you know, build back the 271 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.799 athletic department's budget. Uh, if we're going to try and 272 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.000 compete with other teams in the Big twelve, Uh, we're 273 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:10.519 gonna need a lot of fans sport and it seems 274 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:12.919 up to now we've been getting a lot of fans support, 275 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.480 which is which is really really good. So now they 276 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.320 play Utah this weekend. We'll see how that goes. We 277 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.080 as we get closer to the game, we'll talk about it. 278 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.480 But if it doesn't go, well, you've been here a 279 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.799 number of years now, right, what do you think? 280 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:26.120 Uh? 281 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:29.679 You know, I I think that there's gonna be some uh, 282 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.600 some people that are going to still have the you know, 283 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:34.759 the hope with the new coach and everything like that, 284 00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:38.559 but uh, certainly is gonna dwindle off as people start 285 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.639 thinking that, hey, we're not gonna you know, we're not 286 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.600 going to meet the expectations that we had at the 287 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:44.480 beginning of the season. 288 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.840 And that's how fans are go there. 289 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.000 Yeah, I mean they're gonna they're gonna figure out how 290 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:50.639 to spend their money, and they're gonna figure out how 291 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:52.960 to spend their time. I mean, they just announced that 292 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:54.919 Texas what is it the Texas head game? 293 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:55.480 Is that eight? 294 00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.879 Yeah, yikes, it's it's a Pac twelve after dark again. Yeah, 295 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.159 it's different. Oh, we're gonna go to the Big twelve. 296 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:04.320 We have better time slots. Well, actually, you're gonna have 297 00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:06.879 worse ones. Yeah, right, because if you go and you do, 298 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.320 you'll get home about twelve thirty maybe if you're lucky. Yeah, 299 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.720 that's gonna be tough. You know how tough is it? 300 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:15.320 Because you've been to a lot of those games? Where 301 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:16.399 or did you stay? 302 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:18.200 Well? Sometimes I stay. 303 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.159 You know, my my wife goes to bed early, so 304 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.919 it's like going. If she's there, we may not make 305 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:26.200 it to the third quarter, but she does like to 306 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.240 see the band, so we make it to halftime. The 307 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:30.960 but you know, if I'm there, yeah, I've been there 308 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.840 til the end. The you know, it clears out, depends 309 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.279 on it depends on the score, depends on what's going on. 310 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:40.799 The one thing I'm hoping to get these these guys 311 00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:43.360 on is the Zona Zoo has done a fantastic job 312 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.000 two games in. I won't, you know, give them them 313 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:48.279 a proper shure, Yeah, because you know it's it's a 314 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:50.600 it's a sprint. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Yeah, 315 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.519 they've done well, Yeah, they have. I mean, I got 316 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.519 a some kids here that are in the Zona Zoo 317 00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:59.320 and it's like they're loving it. They're spending time there. 318 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:04.360 It's exciting. Uh So it's it's good. They actually limited 319 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:06.879 I think they limited tickets. They used to just like 320 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.039 everybody allowed to dot it, but I think they. 321 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.159 You have to. There's a new system this year. 322 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.600 Yeah, yeah, what is it you have to Last year 323 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:15.320 it was just you had to have zonas do and 324 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.039 share your cat card.
