<v Speaker 2>I'm so excited to be here with you. How are

11
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:35.520
<v Speaker 2>you Scott?

12
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh gosh, well, I love to talk about sports. I love,

13
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, being associated with the folks at Broadway Media

<v Speaker 1>and of course filling in for Spence today on the

15
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Drive and things are good. I'm at the Home and

16
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Garden Show. I don't know if you've you ever go

17
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>to it. I'm here with the Cooligan Water people and

18
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.039
<v Speaker 1>they got some amazing stuff going on. Just just really fun.

19
00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's a fun, fun environment out here.

20
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome. Yes, I've never been myself, but definitely something

21
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.920
<v Speaker 2>that I'm sharing's extremely fun to be at. I'm just sorry.

22
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:11.280
<v Speaker 2>I can't be there with you in person.

23
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>It's all the gadgets and toys and things you need

24
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 1>for your house that will you. Some of them maybe

25
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 1>you don't need, but some of them, like Cooligan water,

26
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>you definitely need it. But some other things, they're kind

27
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.879
<v Speaker 1>of they're kind of fun. So I have to ask

28
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you this question, how fun is it to call a

29
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 1>buzzer beater from half court against your rival? I mean,

30
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.439
<v Speaker 1>did I hear some just insane passion come out of

31
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>your voice?

32
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh? My goodness, Yes, there was definitely a lot of passion,

33
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 2>no doubt about that. I obviously it was.

34
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 3>Not expecting that, nor was anybody in the building expecting

35
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 3>that to fall. But you know, I'm definitely in in

36
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 3>my own excitement level and when that went through, but

37
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 3>inness Craze, I think everybody in the building could have

38
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 3>heard me with how hi I got with my vocal cords. Incredible,

39
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.280
<v Speaker 3>to be honest, I loved it, as you could tell

40
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:07.959
<v Speaker 3>from just how excited I got, but extremely excited for her,

41
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 3>and then meeting with her afterward, I tell you what's

42
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.080
<v Speaker 3>gott meeting with her afterwards. She was the most humble

43
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:15.479
<v Speaker 3>person on the planet.

44
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Here. I am just trying to hype her up, say, Maddie,

45
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe he just hit that shot. How does

46
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.719
<v Speaker 2>that feel? And she's like, I'm just happy I can

47
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 2>do it for my teammates. And I'm like, okay, just

48
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 2>you're just just exude humility right here. Incredible stuff. But overall,

49
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Scott so so cool, great, great opportunity, and obviously doing it,

50
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 2>like you said against the BYU Cougar is amazing.

51
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, it's it's fascinating to watch this rivalry

52
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>for me, you know, it's been around a long time

53
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and it's never been at a level that it is now.

54
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, in Power four conferences, you you had, you know,

55
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 1>you're competing against each other in all these different sports

56
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.199
<v Speaker 1>and and what's fast the most fascinating thing to me

57
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 1>is it certainly it certainly makes victories seem greater and

58
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>defeats seem worse. Excuse me, wow, I I had had

59
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>something go down the wrong tube Therehale. I'm getting so

60
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 1>emotional about this rivalry thing, you know, it's just tearing

61
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.719
<v Speaker 1>up my eyes. But it's it's you know, it's so

62
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 1>like the football season this last year was just it

63
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.599
<v Speaker 1>was it was just it was such a heartbreaking season.

64
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 1>But it you know, if I'm being completely candid, it

65
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>was worse because the folks down south were having such

66
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>a great year. And and I have to it brings

67
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:45.439
<v Speaker 1>out a different intensity, uh to to your you know,

68
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 1>your association with a conference, to your rival, and I

69
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.719
<v Speaker 1>wonder if it brings out, you know, a desire to, hey,

70
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to lose to these guys, so we

71
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 1>need to up our game.

72
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.159
<v Speaker 2>I honestly believe all of that. And here's why you're

73
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 2>seeing perfect examples of that all throughout sports this year.

74
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:05.599
<v Speaker 2>You think about the football game that you were calling.

75
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 2>Utah was not having a good year. They did not

76
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.560
<v Speaker 2>have a good year. Buyu having a tremendous year, and

77
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>they go and they have a chance to win that

78
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 2>football game, and you know, some of us on the

79
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Utah side definitely thinks it should have gone one way.

80
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 2>Then it ended up not going that way, but Utah

81
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 2>raised their game to play against EYU because of how

82
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:28.680
<v Speaker 2>badly they wanted to win that game. You then fast

83
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.839
<v Speaker 2>forward to the to the men's basketball game to where,

84
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 2>in all honesty, Utah it's a little bit struggling. That's

85
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 2>a severe understatement I'll say that, but struggling on the

86
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:40.639
<v Speaker 2>basketball floor.

87
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 1>B YU.

88
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 2>On the on the other hand, especially now winning seven

89
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 2>eight straight games, Now, somehow Utah was able to to

90
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 2>really focus in at the Huntsman Center and get the

91
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.120
<v Speaker 2>job done in overtime. Sure it was an ugly game

92
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.920
<v Speaker 2>with free throws and all that not dropping, but you

93
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 2>think of how the the Utah men were able to

94
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 2>raise their level of play. And even on the women's side,

95
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.000
<v Speaker 2>b YU is having a down year, I'll stay that

96
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.319
<v Speaker 2>very very softly. They're they're they're not very good this year.

97
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.480
<v Speaker 2>But both times that the women's team played the YU

98
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 2>this year, they were excellent games. Obviously the overtime game,

99
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 2>the half court buzzer beater at the Huntsman Center. Utah

100
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:24.959
<v Speaker 2>struggled to shoot the basketball in that game. Then the

101
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 2>one down at the Merriott Center, a game that at

102
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.199
<v Speaker 2>the time Utah was playing very good basketball. BUYU was

103
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 2>not playing very good basketball, and they brought everything to

104
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 2>that game and to the point where what the lady

105
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 2>for by you actually had a chance late in that game.

106
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:43.279
<v Speaker 2>And so just to kind of sum it all up,

107
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's those are just some examples of sporting events.

108
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 2>Just this year to show that while you might not

109
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 2>be having good seasons, everybody who plays those sports and

110
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 2>plays against those you know, the BYU Cougars from Utah,

111
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:02.600
<v Speaker 2>everybody in that rivalry game brings it every single time

112
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>they play that game. Again, just just perfect examples of

113
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.360
<v Speaker 2>it this year. I love the rivalry. So extremely excited

114
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>that it's back in conference and that we can talk

115
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>about it every single year rather than you know, talk

116
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.160
<v Speaker 2>about it out of conference, especially in the football ti

117
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.160
<v Speaker 2>where we didn't play it for so many years. Just

118
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>extremely happy to have it back. And you know, you

119
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:26.120
<v Speaker 2>definitely love love to hate each other is really the

120
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 2>best way to word that. You obviously played in the

121
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>rivalry game when you were playing at college, you played

122
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.600
<v Speaker 2>the YU, so I know you have a certain kind

123
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.920
<v Speaker 2>of hatred that for that program, so you obviously can

124
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 2>speak to it a little bit more than I could.

125
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 2>But goodness, I'm again just so happy that it's back.

126
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I am too, And I think rivalries are such

127
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.480
<v Speaker 1>a great part of college sports and in sports in general.

128
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.079
<v Speaker 1>You know, it just it does, it brings out the

129
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.079
<v Speaker 1>best it you really, you know, you just don't want

130
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.879
<v Speaker 1>to lose, and so you figure out you figure out

131
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:02.199
<v Speaker 1>how to get it done. The women, of course, had

132
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:08.519
<v Speaker 1>an early exit from the Big Twelve Championship. Surprising, you

133
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:10.959
<v Speaker 1>know what went on there and what does this mean

134
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:12.959
<v Speaker 1>moving forward for the NCAA tournament.

135
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:18.360
<v Speaker 2>So I would definitely say surprising in the sense that

136
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, Texas Tech came into that game fourteen seed

137
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:22.920
<v Speaker 2>in the Big Twelve tournament, a team that only won

138
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>four games total in conference play. We did play them

139
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.120
<v Speaker 2>in love it and it was a tough game, a

140
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:32.160
<v Speaker 2>game that Utah kind of had to crawl and scrape

141
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.800
<v Speaker 2>just to get the victory down there. So we knew

142
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.079
<v Speaker 2>that it was going to be at least a tougher

143
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.360
<v Speaker 2>game than it probably would have been had Kansas and

144
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 2>won that game in their first round matchup, So we

145
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.759
<v Speaker 2>came in at least out broadcasters Miley and myself came

146
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>in expecting it to be a tough game. Utah historically

147
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.519
<v Speaker 2>has struggled with pressure with ball pressure, especially in the

148
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 2>full court, and while they didn't turn the ball over

149
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.480
<v Speaker 2>in the full court grass, it felt as though Utah

150
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.720
<v Speaker 2>when they crossed half court, we're just completely out of sorts.

151
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.480
<v Speaker 2>The entire game against Texas Tech yesterday to where it

152
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.959
<v Speaker 2>took them a long time to get into their offense,

153
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.920
<v Speaker 2>and this is a team that wants to get moving

154
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:12.639
<v Speaker 2>quickly and they just for some reason couldn't do it.

155
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 2>A lot of stagnation where the ball was just being

156
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:18.399
<v Speaker 2>moved around the horn, not a lot of attacking the basket,

157
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 2>especially in the second half. And the best way I

158
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:23.720
<v Speaker 2>could word it is that Texas Tech dictated every single

159
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:27.879
<v Speaker 2>part of that game yesterday, especially the second quarter where

160
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Utah couldn't hit anything with Texas Tech kind of found

161
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.320
<v Speaker 2>some rhythm. Then in the second half, Utah was starting

162
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.120
<v Speaker 2>to find their offense but couldn't get stops. Texas Tech

163
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:38.360
<v Speaker 2>went seven to ten and a third quarter and by

164
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:40.600
<v Speaker 2>it was a little bit too late for Utaha crawl back.

165
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.039
<v Speaker 2>They made some efforts late, but things just didn't go

166
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.879
<v Speaker 2>their way. And in alhan Ste I believe now, at

167
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.960
<v Speaker 2>least in my opinion, with this loss to a team

168
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.919
<v Speaker 2>that should have beaten, I believe that Utah was kind

169
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 2>of flirting with that ex potential seven line on the

170
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:59.440
<v Speaker 2>NTA Tournament. I believe that with that loss, they're probably

171
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:01.919
<v Speaker 2>going to drop to an eight to nine slot, which

172
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:03.960
<v Speaker 2>means that in the women's side, the way that it

173
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:09.960
<v Speaker 2>works is the the post sixteen seeds host the first

174
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.519
<v Speaker 2>and second round of the Incative Way tournament. So what

175
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.399
<v Speaker 2>that would mean is if they're in that eighth slot,

176
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Utah would get an eight nine matchup and then they

177
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.879
<v Speaker 2>would then play the potential number one seed at their

178
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.399
<v Speaker 2>own place. So the way you could look at this

179
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.559
<v Speaker 2>is which is hypothetically say u c l A is

180
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.000
<v Speaker 2>the team that hosts, we go to u c LA.

181
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.000
<v Speaker 2>We would then have to play the Ruins at poly

182
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Pavilion for a chance to advance to the sweet sixteen.

183
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Well you could look at that and say, you know

184
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.519
<v Speaker 2>that that might be a little unfair because they're already

185
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're they're already the better team and getting

186
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:46.240
<v Speaker 2>any opportunity to host their own, you know, postseason tournament matchup.

187
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:48.600
<v Speaker 2>We learned that last year with Nzaga at the home

188
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.960
<v Speaker 2>court advantage four. Againzaga the four seed definitely helped them

189
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.440
<v Speaker 2>last year. But you know what, that's just the way

190
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.879
<v Speaker 2>that the women's game happens. And you know, you went

191
00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.679
<v Speaker 2>again with that lot. I feel that we fall into

192
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.600
<v Speaker 2>that eight ninth spot to potentially having to play number

193
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.320
<v Speaker 2>one seed, We're not going to find out those selection Sunday,

194
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.399
<v Speaker 2>which is in about nine days from now. The n

195
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:10.279
<v Speaker 2>WA tournament for the women starts up exactly two weeks

196
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:12.840
<v Speaker 2>from today, So you thought it a nice long break

197
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.360
<v Speaker 2>to where they need to kind of get things right

198
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.080
<v Speaker 2>because they have lost through their last five games. Their

199
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.720
<v Speaker 2>last three games have not been good for them, especially

200
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:23.320
<v Speaker 2>on the offensive of the basketball, all three games shooting

201
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 2>below forty percent. So a lot to work on as

202
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.720
<v Speaker 2>they gear up for, you know, for a hopeful postseason

203
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:33.639
<v Speaker 2>tournament NTAA tournament run in starting up the two weeks.

204
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:39.440
<v Speaker 1>So, Gavin Peterson your assessment, you know, new coach, first year,

205
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:40.399
<v Speaker 1>what do you think?

206
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.440
<v Speaker 2>So, Gavin obviously kind of came into a situation to

207
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:48.120
<v Speaker 2>where I would pull a good situation in the sense.

208
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:51.240
<v Speaker 4>That he was already part of the program, had been

209
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.679
<v Speaker 4>a part of the program for the last ten years

210
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.279
<v Speaker 4>with Lynn Roberts, and when Lynn got the opportunity to

211
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.000
<v Speaker 4>go to the WNBA, obviously she took that because she

212
00:10:59.000 --> 00:10:59.799
<v Speaker 4>gets to a coach at.

213
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:01.879
<v Speaker 2>The high left for her.

214
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you like that move?

215
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 2>I believe it has. It has been yet. I've actually

216
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.440
<v Speaker 2>talked to her a few times ever since that took place,

217
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.440
<v Speaker 2>and in her own words, how can you not take

218
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.000
<v Speaker 2>it right? So it's been a good transition for her. Obviously,

219
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.879
<v Speaker 2>there's not a lot going on other than her trying

220
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:20.480
<v Speaker 2>to go out, not really recruit, but try to find

221
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.039
<v Speaker 2>players to bring into the franchise and try to get

222
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.440
<v Speaker 2>things running for when May kicks around and then when

223
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:30.679
<v Speaker 2>they start their training camp and everything like that. So

224
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.159
<v Speaker 2>I feel that she's in a tremendous job so far

225
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 2>and kind of indompreting herself. In fact, the GM for

226
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 2>the LA Sports is actually at the game on Saturday

227
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:43.320
<v Speaker 2>against BYU, so she's obviously trying to show her how

228
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 2>great Utah Athletics is as well.

229
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>So from that.

230
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.879
<v Speaker 2>Standpoint, awesome. But then from the Gavin standpoint, these players

231
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.799
<v Speaker 2>were already bought in. These players were already ready to

232
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.120
<v Speaker 2>play for a coach, and when Davin Peterson stepped in,

233
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.559
<v Speaker 2>it felt super seamless. And I feel as though it's

234
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.639
<v Speaker 2>gone extramely well. Obviously, these last you know, five games

235
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:06.919
<v Speaker 2>haven't been haven't been great, but have an overall season,

236
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.919
<v Speaker 2>I would absolutely say that it's been very successful. In

237
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Utah should be extremely happy to have Devin at the

238
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Helm for the foreseeable future.

239
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.080
<v Speaker 1>So what does a fourteen million dollar gift mean for

240
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the women's sports program up on the hill.

241
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.080
<v Speaker 2>I think what that means. I mean, I'm definitely no

242
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.279
<v Speaker 2>expert in kind of you know where the money will

243
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.799
<v Speaker 2>be dispersed. What that means is it gives it gives

244
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.279
<v Speaker 2>women the opportunity to be able to use that fundage

245
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.919
<v Speaker 2>and hopefully grow their sports, because this is obviously the

246
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>women's sports are continually growing. Gymnastics has been massive at

247
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.559
<v Speaker 2>the University of Utah for so many years, but that's

248
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.879
<v Speaker 2>been really the only program that has been consistently attracting fans,

249
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.080
<v Speaker 2>and so I believe that the gift will be an

250
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:55.799
<v Speaker 2>opportunity for the women's programs to hopefully bring more eyes

251
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:59.759
<v Speaker 2>to them. And you know, again not not quite an

252
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:02.559
<v Speaker 2>next be excited to see, you know, where that fourteen

253
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.720
<v Speaker 2>million will be dispersed and how the women's programs can

254
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.480
<v Speaker 2>continue to grow at Utah.

255
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Tyson, really appreciate you tuning in and joining us today.

256
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:13.799
<v Speaker 1>It's always fun to catch up and talk to you.

257
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>And I have a feeling that maybe this longer break here, Mike,

258
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.679
<v Speaker 1>get a reset and that these women go on a

259
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 1>long old run through the through the NCAA tournament. So

260
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>have a great rest here Friday, and thanks for thanks

261
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:28.919
<v Speaker 1>for coming on.

262
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Wonderful. Thank you, Scott, appreciate your brother,
