movie since Harlow's been born.
Speaker 5: Will be hard for anybody watched Harlowe that is not
either parent Katie and Katie ready for.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's the baby.
Speaker 9: Like I never never had a problem like taking them
two movies based off there.
Speaker 2: My oldest son.
Speaker 9: Would go to movies like up until he was like
four and just sit there and eat his popcorn and
watch his eye and be happy as a lot would
make a sound memphis.
Speaker 2: He's the one doing high knees up and down the stairs.
So like you kind of learn.
Speaker 5: Like as you go, like, okay, yeah, my two girls
will they love going to the movies and the same
way I see and chill.
Speaker 9: I have not tried out quad. Yeah, it's gonna be
the one probably doing the high knees.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, we can't even go to restaurants anymore. It's
just too he's just too unruly. Should go annoying. He
ruins all the he ruins all the time.
Speaker 9: You put Harlow in the high chair, you throw a
couple pieces of food in front of her.
Speaker 2: You're gonna go to town, worry about the food. He
just wants to run around. What is nose? Is that
Dracula's name?
Speaker 6: That's like the the curse or whatever they call it.
Like they're like, oh no, s Feratu is coming, Like
it's kind of what they call it in the movie.
Speaker 2: Interesting.
Speaker 5: I'm excited, man, hopefully, hopefully get out to you that
this this weekend sometime. Uh, all right, let's We've got
a few things to get to this hour. First off,
as I said, ELETU Gymnastics backs Friday night hikes tonight
in the p MAC. Yet the ragining SEC and n
C double a champion dropping the banner. So the I think,
is it Louisville. Who do they have tonight? I thought
I had a reading my notes. Yeah, I thought I
had to written in my notes. For some reason I
did not. I apologize bad on me. But the meat
starts at six point thirty. Get there early. You can
be a part of the celebration and the banner drop.
I love the new saying. We'll talk to Jay Clark
brother this but I was stay excuse me, not Louisville.
Speaker 2: I was stick.
Speaker 5: But the saying this year is protect the crown, okay,
And he had an interesting perspective on the national championship said,
we're not really defending the National champions like, no one
can take that away from us. What we want to
protect is the standard that we have sat here at LSU.
No Haley Bryant tonight, as unfortunately she got injured in
the one to one exhibition meet last week, RCU ME
last month. But while she's on the path to recovery.
She's not going to be out there tonight, so probably
a Leah Finnigan going to be leading the way. But again, guys,
if you have never ever been to an L. Shue
gymnastics meet, they are electric. They are so much fun.
Great way to spend a Friday night, and tonight an
especially special one as you get to watch the.
Speaker 2: Banner drop.
Speaker 5: Harold Perkins back something that we haven't discussed hearing off
the bench yet or did y'all talk about it Monday?
Speaker 2: Tan? Yeah, again, in the in the in.
Speaker 5: The vortex of time, that is, I wanted to, I
actually know I did want to. Did I did want to,
And there was a fantasy where I actually came in
to do a segment with you. Yeah, but but it's
all it remained. But but I was thinking of you.
I was thinking of you though, you know, and you
know what they say, it's a thought that counts. So
you're welcome.
Speaker 2: Do you consider yourself a thoughtful person?
Speaker 5: M hm? In some ways definitely not with gift giving.
I think in like being a bit empathetic to peoplepathetic, yes,
but I've heard you say you're not some very selfish person. Again,
the gift giving would be chief among them. I'm an
awful gift giver. I never think about I never remember it,
never remember people's birthdays. I hardly remember Christmas. It took
me nearly my wife divorcing me three to four times
after screwing up a mixture of Mother's Day, Birthday and
Christmas before I finally got my act together.
Speaker 2: And now I.
Speaker 5: Don't screw those up a little bit, tea. It took
me a long time. I have to get there.
Speaker 9: And it's somewhat recent because when we started doing this,
there was a holiday that you know.
Speaker 5: Oh you didn't have your best foot forward. And now
remember you go, oh pure pan. I mean you saw
me panic in the middle of the show. It was
it was bad. It was bad, like, yeah, we've all
been there before, but it's it's just, look, how do
you how do you respond to adversity? You know, what
are you going to do when you make a big mistake?
Are you going to be defeated by it? Are you
going to learn by it? Gonna get better? And what
we've done here is we've learned and gotten better, but
about remain work in progress. Yeah, it's all you can
be though, that's all it's all you can be. That's
all I'm not, you know, is moving forward. I'm just
trying to I'm just trying to get better every day.
Progress is never linear. Sometimes there's there's gonna be ups
and downs. You just hope when you zoom out that
it's going up.
Speaker 2: On the whole on the ball barograph.
Speaker 9: It is wild and we'll get to Harrol Perkins. But
come on, it's the last day that we get to
kind of do this. I'm not somebody that enjoys getting gifts.
I don't, but there's some people that really enjoy getting gifts.
Like if you just acknowledge something like a quick acknowledgment,
I'm good, I'm good. I would never say, hey man,
happy birthday. Oh you remember cool, We're good.
Speaker 4: That Like, I'm kind of with you on that. But
like what I really don't like.
Speaker 6: I would rather someone get me something not knowing what
it is, I mean, not even fully enjoy it, then
someone asking me what I want.
Speaker 2: I don't like.
Speaker 5: Unless you like, functionally need something, You're just using the
holiday as an excuse to be, like, I need a
new washing machine or something. So I'm gonna ask my family. Look,
don't give anything that's but like that that that's one thing.
But yes, I am completely with you there, Like get
me a random book or or something like that and
I'll be tickled.
Speaker 2: Or Dungeons and dragons like that was great.
Speaker 5: And then so, like I said, I ended up buying
those are Stalking Stalking as stocking stuffers for my for
my kids, and they put them together. Uh, but then
I knew they were ever gonna play with them again,
so I put them up in the office and now
I have four. I have a full partner of D
and D minifix now sitting on the desk.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like that was that was very thoughtful, very cool.
I think I think I've learned in relationship with gift giving. Again,
it's not even the gift as much.
Speaker 2: As the you.
Speaker 5: You you cared enough to put forward some amount of
effort and now you you do need a zero in
the gift as well. Right, Like my wife was not
happy when I bought her a lawnmower four point zero
to shave her legs with. I thought that made sense
in my head. You know, the man's right, yeah, for
shaving your pews. Yeah, so what's the difference between that
and your legs? That was my look again, you know
that's my so see waterproof very easy in the bad
like very quick, you know, bad gift, bad gift. That
was one of the down years. So that was the
time where I remember the last minute and that was
I four, that is made for shaving your balls come
to me?
Speaker 2: Okay, exactly, so it's exactly.
Speaker 5: What's the difference your your your balls are more sensitive
the legs are.
Speaker 2: I still don't very.
Speaker 5: I still don't fully understand why everybody thinks this is crazy,
but I've accepted that I'm wrong.
Speaker 7: As a gift though.
Speaker 9: Ah, she's probably like, oh, sure you bought this from
my legs tea, Like I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't. I didn't. I didn't use it
for a razor. I don't understand how those clippers are
supposed to work. I done this hench my sack too
many times. Yeah, clippers.
Speaker 5: Also, I will say this, so I did end up
trying in the shower one time in.
Speaker 2: A pro I remember, I do remember you saying that.
Speaker 5: And I'm like, Manscape, what the hell did Yeah? He
thought it was waterproof like it's supposed to like resist. Okay,
well that's stupid. That is stupid and that's bad advertising
and false advertising on their part.
Speaker 4: I don't know what. I honestly don't know what.
Speaker 6: The difference between waterproof and water resists that it's supposed to.
Speaker 9: Be proof is like you can submerge it, it can
get it like the shower.
Speaker 2: Dude, this is this is resistant, like.
Speaker 9: Like your phone's resistant up to a certain amount of times.
It's not waterproof.
Speaker 5: I feel like generally the resistance though, if you just
like with you poor water on it, it's supposed to
be okay, but yeah, if you submerge it, then you
get in trouble.
Speaker 6: It's a showered it's not submerged unless bath with it
or something.
Speaker 2: What's the what's the worst gift you've ever given your wife?
I mean besides like forgetting gifts like that was the worst?
Yeah that was I knew divorced. I think what I
would be in.
Speaker 6: Tern now define wors for Katie, like anything for the house,
like to make the house functional.
Speaker 9: She's like, it's not really a gift, like if I
got if I got her new like.
Speaker 2: Dryer, Yeah, that's just more work.
Speaker 9: That's that's worked for me, Like that's yeah, yeah, well
also definitely made I've definitely made that mistake of like
something like that before.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think what I got heard this year and
it is something she specifically requests.
Speaker 2: Oh no, this year.
Speaker 6: No, she specifically asked for this. She said, this is
I need this. I was okay, what do you want?
You know, because like we've been together for ten years now,
and like you know, at this point, we're just like, hey,
what do you want?
Speaker 4: What do I want?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 6: She literally sent me like an Amazon list of like
four or five things, right, and uh.
Speaker 2: You still got to get at least one thing that
is a surprise.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 6: But like I wasn't going to order this one because
I was like, this isn't a good gift. And then
a week after I had ordered all of her gifts,
I was like I'm done. She goes, this is the
one I need the most, and I was like, well crap.
So I like went back and ordered. It came in
like the day before Christmas.
Speaker 2: Oh Jeff.
Speaker 6: She was like, I want a new apron and I
was like what and she goes, no, this really nice
one from Williamson Noma and all this.
Speaker 2: I does sound great.
Speaker 6: I thought it was a I personally thought it was
a terrible gift, but like she requested it.
Speaker 2: No, that sounds fantastic. Yeah. I also don't think you
fully understood the question.
Speaker 5: It wasn't what's a gift you got your wife that
you thought was terrible?
Speaker 2: It was what's a gift that she thought was terrible?
Speaker 9: So I guess yeah, Like for me, like when I
like when you buy like an appliance, it's like, okay,
well the house needed that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a need.
Speaker 5: A gift in theory, is supposed to be sort of
a luxury fun This is something I did not, did not,
did not have for Like I'll be dan.
Speaker 2: Bro I am loving that kitchen knife.
Speaker 10: I got it.
Speaker 2: That thing is badass. That's a great give that is
working out really well.
Speaker 5: And you use it using it for that Like, No,
we kind of talked about it, but I never really
thought about getting it.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: Also, again, having nerdy hobbies is great too, because you know,
you buy me a Lego minifigs and I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, oh that's cool, man, Yeah, that's awesome. You're very
easy to buy gifts for.
Speaker 6: I got Victoria this like this is this hot pink
purse because like she loves persons. She has a ton
of them, but like all of her persons are like gray, black, brown, tan,
you know, like she likes like the neutral colors. I
was like, oh, she doesn't have like a bright car
when you guys know me, like I love the brice.
Speaker 2: Did you see your neon? She does not.
Speaker 4: This was this was.
Speaker 6: Early in our relationship. Like she just does not like
the bright color. I don't think I've ever once seen
her use it.
Speaker 2: What wait, what was it you got?
Speaker 4: It was just like a hot pink purse. It was
a nice one too, but like I was.
Speaker 6: Thinking exactly yeah, she was thinking about it.
Speaker 5: I was like, she likes I do not have any confidence.
I'm like Markel Foltz shooting free throws level of confidence.
Speaker 2: That's I know. That's I don't know how many people get.
Speaker 4: Here's the weird four.
Speaker 5: I mean, basically, I have the gift buying yips. If
it comes to jewelry purses, I will I will lean
on my sisters and my mom to give me ideas.
Speaker 2: They're because if I go out trying to.
Speaker 5: The one time I tried to solo it, I guess
I ended up at some store that's for like old
women and I bought her like like grandma pants or
something like an old duty and burnt purse that you know,
no offense, like a seven year old grandmother probably is like.
Speaker 2: Rock and ring.
Speaker 6: I'm I'm okay with the persons now, because again I
got the bad one out the way early in the relationship.
Speaker 4: I kind of know what she likes. Now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Elandra, what about you giving way quiet over there.
Speaker 2: Giving discussion and you're one of the best gift givers
that we know.
Speaker 8: Uh yeah, I think I like to keep my love language.
Speaker 7: I think. I don't know. I think so. I don't know.
I just like, yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 8: I just try to think of like what the people like.
Like I was telling y'all the other day that my
friend Jennifer, I got her a Snoop Dogg cookbook because
she loves Snoop Dogg. And then she started like doing
sour doughs. So I got her like a little Dutch oven,
and like each of her sisters, her one of her
sister got her the same cookbook I did, and then
her other sister got her a Dutch oven.
Speaker 7: So I was like, dang, could look, you know, her as.
Speaker 2: Well as her sisters do.
Speaker 6: Even though they got the same gift, you could flex
and be like they got one each.
Speaker 4: I got them both.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, like she returned her sister's cookbook and then
the other one that I the Dutch of and I
got her was smaller than the one that her sister
got her. I don't know, just hobbies, I guess, like
the miniature figurines and stuff.
Speaker 2: Hobbies are great or like right, I.
Speaker 5: Know, But again, now that my wife was into tennis,
it was an easy Christy. It was. I just hammered
tennis stuff and it went great, and you know, mixed
a couple things in as well, but like hammered the
tennis front.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So like if you find like a theme like that too,
Like there was some expensive like pottery that Katie was
so I got that for But everybody.
Speaker 2: I didn't know Katie was a pothead. No, she's not pottery.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, pottery pottery yet.
Speaker 9: But the boys both play for the same baseball organization,
lug Nuts, and that you know, so the red, black
and white, so everybody was getting cleats or Harlow got
Jordan's of that color away of the game. So I
got her Jordan's wear the game too, like that color.
She appreciated that part of it. It's very cool.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I will say that I'm bad at like receiving
them though.
Speaker 2: Oh I don't like receiving Yeah I don't need them.
Speaker 7: Yeah that's that's me. You didn't have to get me anything.
Speaker 2: Just dab me up and yeah, we're good. I do.
I do, like this one from Brad's Zydaco.
Speaker 9: Guy in the chat got my wife a waffle maker
about ten years ago, and she still says it was
the worst gift I've ever given her.
Speaker 2: Yet she still uses it to this day once a week.
Look at that.
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, I mean yeah, we've all been there. The
bad gifts still, you know, have a purpose and get used.
But well not the lawn more four point oh because
it drowned.
Speaker 2: But you know.
Speaker 7: That's crazy crazy.
Speaker 9: What's the difference between he first lot more four point oh?
I thought this man got her a push more.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's what I'm thinking too. I'm sitting back here like,
hell yeah, that's.
Speaker 2: Until he went in. Oh yeah, I remember this story.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 8: God, I'm gonna help you out. This year, what comes
first her birthday or Valentine's Day?
Speaker 2: Valentine.
Speaker 9: We'll start val days pretty val Day is fourteenth. Katy's
birthday is a twenty second, so it's always been.
Speaker 5: Valentine Day's pretty easy because you don't actually have to
do anything. Like there's a lot of run of the
mill stuff right in some flowerday.
Speaker 9: That's one of those like as long as you remember it, Yeah,
you can't screw it up. As long as you remember
it and get something. Yes, you can't screw this one up. Now, Birthday?
Speaker 2: Now, have you running around?
Speaker 5: If you running around on Sunday and the spots closed,
I've gotten into trouble.
Speaker 2: Oh I've been. I've heard you go through those covers,
so be careful. I've heard you call people before.
Speaker 5: I still need I still need y'all to explain to
me why my logic is bad. On the lawnmower four
point oh to shave your legs. I understand why it's
a bad gift. I'm talking about the base level of
logic is that it doesn't shave your legs close enough.
Speaker 9: That's why it doesn't shave it close enough. It's only
going it's still going to give you stubble. So if
you're looking to have a smooth leg with no leg
hair or stubble.
Speaker 2: The four point oh.
Speaker 9: Is not going to work on got a good five
point I don't even know that a five point oh.
Speaker 5: I will never buy another product again until they start
doing advertising with me.
Speaker 2: Then I'll just start talking about how they're awesome. But
him for now. No, just kidding.
Speaker 5: I really probably would I mean unless no, I would
not want to advertise you.
Speaker 9: Manscape, Hey, Manscape. There's this great college football podcast called Snaps.
I really think the pitch it's hitt t Bob a Beear.
You've met him a lot more four point oh. It's
got one other guy played quarterback in Georgia. He's half joy,
half Catholic.
Speaker 2: Very univery, hairy, very hairy, son of a.
Speaker 9: Gun very uh. He could really use it. I mean
Wolverine over here could use it. Make it happen, man Skate,
I don't want it does now.
Speaker 5: The only way the the pitch would be I would
have to objectively use it and think it's good.
Speaker 2: If I used it thought it was bad, I would
not do it. I actually do have a beer trimmer
from them. They make.
Speaker 9: They make more than just the law more four point zero,
and it's actually pretty good. Settings also like you know,
a shaved with yesterday, it's like just you know, a
little bit off.
Speaker 2: Look it off the top.
Speaker 5: All right, we've gone very exceedingly long. When we get

Speaker 4: DJ.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the big snacks.
Speaker 4: Guy, Yeah, he owns like six of inding machines.
Speaker 2: It's in real business.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we need to somehow combine crypto and vending machines.
Speaker 9: Okay, that's not the same. Crypto is not really there.
The vending machines are there.
Speaker 5: There's three core pillars in my business. Boot in, crypto, crypto,
vending machine. Okay, we're gonna combine that. That's a triangle
of success. You'll call me Phil Jackson. I'm serious about this.
We're gonna put different protein products. We're gonn to put
them in gyms across the Baton Rouge area. I'm gonna
do well and put fair life little protein shakes. We
can put like a little pre workout.
Speaker 9: In there, a little protein snacks gonna be you know,
a refrigerated vending machine.
Speaker 2: So you know, we got's been a little bit more upfront.
Speaker 5: But on the back end, why would these businesses let
us put our vending machines in there when they could
sell these products because just because it's easy, then they
don't have to deal with it at all.
Speaker 9: I'm an owner of one of them. So there, that's
the first one we start with.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 9: And then we just you know, we we we we
be a mission statement, and we also like we you know,
we let them know like hey, like we'll give you
a little free shout out no TV, like it would
be our little secret.
Speaker 6: Well, then everybody's gonna see an elite like, oh they
have this awesome vending machine where they get it. Jake's like,
I actually am partnered in a vending machine culture. Yeah,
and then that's how you spread the word.
Speaker 5: Right now, they're gonna want y'all are talking at me,
But all I'm thinking about is a boot and themed
crypto coin, boot coin, coin to the buddhen to the
moon something link coin. Okay, Okay, Taylor, you're my CFO. Congratulations,
you're in Thank you, Laundret, You're gonna have to prove
yourself if you want to get in here. J Connections
are going to get him in on it. But if
you want to get in here, you're gonna have to
bring something like Taylor did to the table.
Speaker 7: Just now, a link coin to the vending machine boot.
Speaker 2: Vending boot in crypto vending machine.
Speaker 7: I don't want to part with.
Speaker 2: With an n f t uh mini game side element.
Speaker 8: How about two little crypto Boodham vinning machine.
Speaker 7: I'll do what Jake's talking about and we'll see.
Speaker 2: What We'll see which one makes you know, the most profit?
Speaker 4: Okay, Bob, because we're gonna scam everybody with our.
Speaker 2: Like you said about classic classic.
Speaker 4: Celeb us, who's going to make more money, also.
Speaker 2: Likely to go to jail at all? Nobody gets I mean,
is not in jail. That's nobody does. All right, when
we get back, Coach j Clark, here on off the bench, off.
Speaker 1: The bench, back to sports talk. Maybe off the bench.
Speaker 2: Hey, what's happing?
Speaker 5: Guys?
Speaker 2: Welcome back to OGB.
Speaker 5: And we do it most every Friday here during gymnastics season.
Speaker 2: But it is our distinct.
Speaker 9: Today is Friday, even though it's a holiday season, and
nobody knows that today is actually Friday, so a big
day here in Bedner.
Speaker 5: It's great, it's great, and it's the return of Friday
Night heights in the PMC.
Speaker 2: We've been telling you about it, guys.
Speaker 5: Banner drop the Iowa State Meat starts at six thirty
before the meet. We're gonna drop a banner for your
rainy national champion right now. We talked ahead l J
gym NAS coach coach Jay Clark. Coach Clark, what's going on?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 2: Thank you for making some time for us on matt
On Meat Day.
Speaker 11: With everything that's going on in the last six months.
That may be the single best introduction I've heard.
Speaker 2: Hell hell yeah, hey coach.
Speaker 5: So okay, first off, I want to well, I got
I got a ton I want to get to you,
but but I want to start here. I thought you
had some very interesting perspective where y'all are. Y'all's mantra
this year is protect the crown, But when asked about
being kind of defending national champion ter squad, it's like, well,
I mean, we're not really defending it right, Nobody can
take that away from us. So when when when fans
hear y'all say and they see the signage and they
see protect the Crown. What is that mission statement actually saying, like,
what's it trying to accomplish?
Speaker 11: When we we went you know, we go over to
golf stores every August and and the team comes up
with what they want that to look like. And and
really the discussion centered around the lessons learned, the attributes
that we have acquired at the at the for our
culture internally, the kinds of teammates we want to be,
the the the standard that we want to uphold. It
was sort of an all encompassing thing. It really had
very little to do with, you know, last year's national
championship as much as it did as it did everything
that has gone into bringing us to the place that
we are now and wanting to make sure that we
preserve that it's not about duplicating anything or trying to
imitate something from the past, because every single team's going
to go and its own its own direction, its own
its own journey, hopefully with a common destination. But you know,
the idea was to talk about the lessons that we've
learned really over the last three years, not even last year,
and what and what propelled us to the place that
we finally got to coach.
Speaker 2: Y'all had so much success.
Speaker 9: Obviously, you win the national championship, but it's not like
y'all haven't been there before. I mean, y'all have done
so much and you've played so many big meets, and
you've had you know, Final four appears, all those type
of things. But after now that you've won it, was
there anything that was maybe.
Speaker 2: Different this offseason?
Speaker 9: Did you want to try to maybe do something then
a little bit different or it's like, hey, we are
not going to try to reinvent the will here. We've
been a very good program. We're going to do it
just like we've done it well.
Speaker 11: For the most part, we was just about, you know,
really nothing changes it. Uh, you know, our intentions all
along have been to you know, climb that mountain and
to see that the progress that occurred by sticking to
what we what we believe and and and and so
nothing from a from a data in, day out process change.
My time got a little different. I mean it was
it was a summer full of people wanting to hear
more about it and go in and speaking to different groups,
and and then of course the NIL piece began to
occupy a lot more of my time than I really
wanted it to. But beyond that, in terms of yeah,
in terms of the structure of what we do, we
really haven't changed an awful lot.
Speaker 9: How was it in recruiting? Now you have that and again,
like very successful program. Obviously you've gotten big time recruits.
But now that you can go out there and there's
a ring and there's going to be a banner, they
just dropped tonight, like, was did you see any kind
of difference whenever you were out there in the recruiting trail.
Speaker 11: I think maybe a little bit, you know, but we
were already, you know, kind of in the conversation with
the right kids year over year. You know, when you're
banging heads with Florida and Oklahoma and and the other
top programs year over year, and we were already in
those conversations. I think maybe it gives a little pause
and says, hey, maybe I need to look at this
a little more seriously to certain kids if they're from
a different part of the country or something like that.
But but to this point, I haven't seen really much increase.
Garrett does an amazing job of getting us in front
of the right kids and and their families and and
getting LSU sold and into the conversation. It's not a
hard sell once once people get here and see what
it's all about and and what LSU is about, and
what Louisiana is about and instead of just what they've
heurred or read or assumed, And it's really not that
difficult to sell this place and the people that are
around it.
Speaker 5: So, Coach, I know you're probably sick of talking about
at this point, and this would be the last time
that we look kind of in a retrospective, but with
the banner drop coming up tonight, what kind of emotions
are you feeling right and how do you you know,
how do you engage with that while also staying focused
on the task at hand, which is we have to
be present, We have to be here and now you know.
Speaker 11: That's that's the what you just said is what I've
been telling the kids. I want you to enjoy this,
and i want I want you to be able to
enjoy the fans reaction to it and those kinds of things,
but we're not gonna The business at hand is starting
this season and this team, and and that really is
what it's about. If you're a newcomer, on this team.
I want you to look at that and I want
you to want it because you didn't do it, and
I want you, I want you to desire that, and
I want you to pursue it with everything that you've got.
But beyond that, we're going to enjoy that for the
five minutes it takes to get that thing hung in
the raptors, and then and then and then, and then
the business at hand is to get started on another
season and start trying to pursue another one, all right, coach.
Speaker 9: So, I think there's a lot of names that a
lot of us are going to be familiar with, and
there's going to be so many great moments of players
and competitors that we've already seen out there before in
the past.
Speaker 2: But what about some newcomers. Is there anybody that.
Speaker 9: We kind of need to be on the lookout for,
not only tonight, but maybe throughout the season.
Speaker 11: Yeah. I think three of the freshmen you're going to
see in various capacities. I think probably the most uh uh,
probably the most visible one out of the gate will
be kaylen chioh. She's a freshman from Las Vegas, just
has had an amazing fall and has a seriousness and
a competitive edge about her that that that is rare,
and I'm really enjoying coaching her and learning her as
an athlete. She's kind of got this perfectionist almost you know,
I'll stab you in the neck mentality which she competes's
just a there's a there's a tenacious and an edge
there that a lot of times in the past we
may have been lacking. So I'm excited about the future
with her. Lexi Zeis, who is another freshman from Nebraska
who trained in Minnesota, has just gotten to a place
physically where she's relevant on all four events and uh
and you'll see an awful lot of her this year.
And then Kalia Lincoln maybe the most explosive, dynamic athlete
I've coached in my entire thirty five years. She is
We're nursing a shoulder thing that eventually we're gonna have
to uh get get addressed. So she'll probably do do
one event tonight and we may add another one as
we go, but we're just gonna kind of get her
through this year and then get her fully healthy for
next year. But on Vault she will do one of
the biggest bolts in the country. So I'm excited about
all of them. And I wish, you know, I wish
Kalia was fully healthy, because it would she showed up
with a with a shoulder thing that was a little
worse than maybe they had thought it was, and we're
gonna have to eventually get it fixed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that always sucks, but I mean, you're no stranger
to manage enough injury coach. To be fair, I'm speaking
of Haley Bryant tweaking the elbow back in the exhibition,
the one on one exhibition meet.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 5: I know that it seems like reports her everything's going
well on that front.
Speaker 2: What's the latest on Haley.
Speaker 11: I think, I mean, it is going well, but we
still got to be cautious. You don't want to mess
around with the u c L too much in that elbow.
So we just got to be cautious and and and
listen to what the docs tell us. But it's going
to be weak to weak. I think, you know, we'll
see her, We'll see her back out there at some point,
you know, I'm hopeful that it'll be sooner than later.
But again, we we're just gonna have to monitor it
closely and let the docs tell us. You know when
she's clear, she's paying free right now. But but and
and you know, really doesn't have any sort of symptoms
at this point. But at the same time, we've got
to let it scar down a little bit and not
not do something that is an undue risk that we
don't need to take this early in the year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, better be healthy in April than the jail.
Speaker 11: Exactly certain, exactly Friday.
Speaker 5: Night heights tonight in the p MAC six thirty, But
get there early, a great meat too with Iowa stay

Speaker 1: Back to sports talk, maybe off the bench.
Speaker 5: Uh, Jake, I imagine maybe you've heard this. This is
my first time hearing knows this through one of my
friend group texts. So I heard that ASU was definitely
like appealing or asking questions one in a full review
of the non targeting call. But the streets are saying
that the bounced field goal is technically a made field
goal because the other team never touched it, and that
the rules say if that as long as the kicking
team does not touch the ball, it's considered a live ball,
and the rule states if it goes to the uprights,
it's a made field goal. They're they're saying that that
Arizona State says is asking for a view, saying that
should have technically been a made field goal.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So I've heard some of this, and I think it
is such a rare case, and I don't think the
rule states about it actually hitting the ground and then
going over. But Arizona State's kind of like, well, if
it's not in the rules that instagram, then it should
count technically then, right because the rural states, if it
goes through the uprights and we don't touch it, then
it counts. Yes, So there is like a loophole. And look,
we've got some crazy rules in college football. This would
certainly be one of them.
Speaker 5: But now, granted, I think all this does is get
a rule clarification. Yeah, and they add a line that
takes this away. But that's kind of crazy to think about.
Speaker 11: Man.
Speaker 2: I never I've never thought about this situation coming up.
Speaker 9: I never knew that, you know, it would be like
a great idea if we got the official to sit
down after the game and explain that maybe like what
the rule is and how they got there, that'd be
that'd be cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look again I I I agree.
Speaker 9: Uh we actually so for the Texas Bowl, our radio
broadcast booth was right next to the replay official and
it was a glass door.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like a divide or anything.
Speaker 9: So we did get a chance to, like when they
were reviewing things, kind of see the process of it.
And you know, when I didn't agree with something.
Speaker 5: I would just like you just like against just like
against some dirty look glaring at them through the glass.
Speaker 2: His foreheads just smatches something class.
Speaker 9: I was like, whenever it's Jacob Hester looking at us,
Like whenever wit Weeks got the penalty, Uh, you know,
because there's a little pushing match, Like the referees got
the number wrong, they got the whole situation wrong, because
I saw it, like on the field play out and
wit Weeks gets the sack. He's celebrating with his teammates,
which is what you're supposed to do. Yep, seventy nine
for Baylor comes and pushes him to the ground and
then uh.
Speaker 2: Jordan Gilbert comes over like, hey, you can't do that.
Speaker 9: He gets pushed and so he pushed his back and
like wit got a fifteen yard penalty when he literally
celebrated with his teammates and didn't retaliate, and seventy nine
just you know, it was nothing. I'm sitting there looking
and I see the replay official looking at it and
he's pointing to the lineman. He's like he keeps going
like I don't know, and I'm like, I know, you're
watching it, you're seeing it, and they called number fifty
nine during the game, I was like, yeah, you guys are.
Speaker 2: Something and a lot happened very fast, you know.
Speaker 9: But if I can see it from like one thousand
feet away in the booth, how do y'all not see it?
And I didn't see it on a replay, I saw
it play out.
Speaker 2: Who's y'all's favorite? Actually, before we get to that, I do.
