Hey, a big 62 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.360 day to day at you A right? U A football 63 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:55.000 kind of they're trying to save save the future, so good, 64 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.560 good moves, guys. What do you think I mean? I 65 00:02:57.800 --> 00:02:58.759 think so oh. 66 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.120 I thought it would be a stand up double if 67 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.599 they hired the Boise State defensive coordinator who I thought 68 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.199 was in the in the pitcher and they end up 69 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:13.080 getting Joe Salavea is there assistant head coach and elevate 70 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.800 Danny Gonzalez to defensive coordinator former head coach in New Mexico. 71 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:21.080 Right, I think it's more like a home run. I agree, 72 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.960 And here's here's the things that, you know. I've come to. 73 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:29.759 The realization that, you know, the football offseason, people want 74 00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.439 to get caught up in who's getting recruited, who's in 75 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.240 the portal, who's coming out of the portal, who are 76 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.800 they getting who are the recruits. You're not going to 77 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.479 know anything about this team until you see them on 78 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.520 the field in September. Don't you think, I mean anymore, 79 00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.840 you can't. You can't even glean anything from spring practice. 80 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.240 You think you got good guys, and you don't know 81 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:49.680 if you like the guys. I mean, who thought as 82 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:50.800 he was going to be good last year? 83 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:51.919 Not me, not you? 84 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.759 Right, So that's the best example. Nobody knew they were 85 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.280 going to be good because they're a picked last right. 86 00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.080 And that's so. 87 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.759 Do you think if you win the portal? If you 88 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.599 win the portal and what winning means, I don't know? Right, Well, 89 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.800 that's the question. You win, You win the portal, and 90 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.800 then you win in September. Yeah, I mean, but here's 91 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.360 the thing. You don't know if you've won the portal, Well, 92 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.399 you don't know, you know. I Mean, here's the thing. 93 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.279 I remember when Bill Bill Norton left, Okay, guy came 94 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.519 from he came in from Georgia, had a great year 95 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.680 with a you know, on the defensive line. I saw 96 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:33.759 camp Scataboo make a format out of him in you know, 97 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:35.920 in the in the bowl game or in the playoff 98 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:36.680 game last week. 99 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.279 You know at Texas. How many plays did he play? 100 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.920 Maybe eight? Ten plays? Sure he's get he played about 101 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:43.800 five plays per game. 102 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:45.600 Yeah, so you know, I'm sure he got a bunch 103 00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.759 of money to do that. But you know, Arizona loses 104 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:50.560 a guy and how good was he? He was great 105 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:54.399 for Arizona, but was he Texas good? Apparently not? So 106 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:56.800 you don't know, Steve, I think I think, you know, 107 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.360 Arizona maybe getting all these guys. There's the receiver they 108 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:03.560 got yesterday from Chattanooga, you know, an All American FCS guy. 109 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.839 He might be Jacob Colling, or he might be we 110 00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.639 don't know, somebody else. And that's the weird thing is 111 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:11.879 that we're not going to know. Do we see these 112 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:12.600 guys on the field? 113 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:14.519 Greg, would you happen to know, and I don't know 114 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.319 if you want to disclose, but would you happen to 115 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.759 know what the the NIL budget? If there is a budget? 116 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.959 And what would you guess? All right here? 117 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:29.199 I talked last week to Gary Bernardi, head recruiting coach 118 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:33.199 here for like seven years. His son's now the offensive 119 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:37.240 line coach at West Western Kentucky. Western Kentucky Kentucky came 120 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:41.160 after one of their alignement. Gary said they offered him 121 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:45.680 three hundred thousand and he turned it down. He was 122 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.879 going to stick with his buddies. They appealed to him. 123 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.920 Two weeks later, Kentucky offered him five hundred thousand, and 124 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:56.319 he left. Wow, I believe that one hundred percent. 125 00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:56.800 That's true. 126 00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:58.879 We can Play's going to tell you that because his 127 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:03.920 son told him that, you know, you got our first gem. 128 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.240 All right, So if Kentucky's paying five hundred thousand for 129 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:14.279 a Western Kentucky offensive lineman, right, it's outrageous. 130 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.680 Messed up, It's just messed up. Yeah, who's going to 131 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.279 go for what? Right? I saw yesterday in a story 132 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.040 where he is eleven. I guess from the issue the 133 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:27.920 quarterback his estimation is three million, three million for him? 134 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:29.879 Who who in Phoenix is going to give him three 135 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.160 million dollars. 136 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.040 Or if it's three million, he's going to go if 137 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.040 that's his market price in ASU doesn't give it to 138 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:37.120 him and somebody else does. 139 00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.439 That's where he's going to go. That's what his value is. 140 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:44.439 And he's staying so so he's just one man. He's 141 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:45.079 just one guy. 142 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.600 How did he get so out of whack so fast? 143 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.920 I don't know the price of winning has gone to. 144 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.680 I mean, I mean what I mean, everybody, we all heard, 145 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:56.639 whether it's true or not, that cam Ward got two 146 00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.800 million dollars in Miami. I mean, what's a what's a college? 147 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.879 I look, we're doing get off my lawn kind of 148 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.319 stuff here. But it's amazing that that the market is at. 149 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:09.680 I mean, you know, we had Mberto Lopez on when 150 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.399 you know it started, when when all this you know 151 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:14.959 came fruition with you know, uh Team AC and all 152 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.480 those guys staying and Umberto had you know, signed a 153 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.800 contract with him with Team Act to do stuff for him. 154 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:21.959 He didn't disclose how much he got, but you had 155 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:23.519 to be it had to be in the hundreds of 156 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:24.759 thousands of dollars. 157 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.240 In the same with right, That's why he's still here. Probably, yeah, 158 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:29.920 well this is this is this thing. 159 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:31.639 And you know them, Greg, I know a few of them, 160 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.319 the people with the money. 161 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:37.560 Shouldn't you or wouldn't you have buyer's remorse. Oh and 162 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.560 if you got to renew it this coming year, it goes. 163 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:45.240 Yeah, yeah, yeah, are you saying I paid this for 164 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.680 that and you asking for more? And what if they're 165 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:49.839 not any good? That's it. You know. 166 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:54.160 Let's let's say you entice a guy from Chattanooga to 167 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.759 come here, say okay, we're gonna give you X. 168 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.040 Then he comes here and he socks. You know, what 169 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:01.160 do you think about that investment? 170 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.160 And what do you think about that investment the next 171 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:04.240 time you get asked to make it? 172 00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:06.680 Yeah? No, I hey, I'm god, I don't have any money. 173 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.800 No one's calling me, no one's calling me. 174 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:15.319 His performance was not worth one hundred thousand dollars that 175 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.000 last year, Probably got paid more, probably get more of 176 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:18.600 this coming year. 177 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.560 Yeah, you know, you hope that the new the new 178 00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:25.160 offensive coordinator you know, can can fix that. And you know, 179 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.680 you like to think that, you know, a youthful guy 180 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:32.559 with a youthful look at how offenses worked, that might 181 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:35.440 get Fefeeda's value back up. But then again, you know 182 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.159 what about what happens after that? And and and if 183 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:40.960 you were if you were the one, whoever it is 184 00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:44.399 in Tucson, that's paying nor Fefeita. You know, he's got 185 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.879 the tuss on in your National Airport ad that he's 186 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.840 doing and stuff like that. Uh, you know, if you're 187 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:53.080 paying no Affida, you know, are you paying him again 188 00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:56.360 this year based on what he did last year? I mean, 189 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.720 as a businessman, you'd think that wasn't a good investment. 190 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:00.919 But on the other hand, if you think he's got potential, 191 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:02.120 then maybe they maybe it is. 192 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.600 I'm thinking Arizona's budget for NIL football isn't that huge 193 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.639 because the players are getting are from low level schools. 194 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:16.840 Yeah, Mercy, Yeah, Chattanooga. Yeah. You just hope that they're good. 195 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:17.840 You just hope that they're good. 196 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:19.919 Yeah, you know, and and and you know, you hear 197 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.639 you hear coaches talk about the fact that I'd rather 198 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.759 have a kid from a winning group. 199 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.559 Of four an FCS program. 200 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.159 He's got two years under his belt than a high 201 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.919 school kid that we think we think might be good 202 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.120 but as yet to be hitting the mouth in the 203 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.200 college game. And that those guys, you know, you'll they'll 204 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:42.559 take that experience over over somebody brand new, And you 205 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:43.879 take your chances with those guys. 206 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:45.840 Gif you do both this, Okay, so you got this 207 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.600 team and you're the coach. Now, I'm curious, Greg, if 208 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.240 a coach or to pastor president from other schools are 209 00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:54.320 here have told you I don't like coaching in this situation. 210 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.679 The kids will making one fifty fifty add more, and 211 00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.559 here I am having to yell at them and tell 212 00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.039 them and by blah blah, and they're probably saying in 213 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:03.519 their mind, shut the hell. 214 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:06.360 Yeah, how does the UCLA basketball players bringing in two 215 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.320 fifty think about what Mick Cronan said about him last night? 216 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.320 Exactly, you don't want me to play for you even more? 217 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.279 Ad there. I would have fired him yesterday. But his 218 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.519 payouts too much? Is it? Really? 219 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:20.440 Who would come to play for him? We've been saying 220 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.639 that for years, Greg, but they keep coming. 221 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:25.159 There are averaging fifty nine points a game at UCLA. 222 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.759 Yeah, they're averaging fifty five hundred fans per home game. 223 00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:33.759 And if he hadn't inherited Homi Hawky has and Tyger Campbell, 224 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:35.159 he would have been fired already. 225 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.759 Yeah. I don't know. That was crazy. So I got 226 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.440 off the subject there, but you know, but agree, Steve. 227 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.240 I mean, this is it's turned everything upside down, and 228 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.639 we know that, and and that's the way it is. 229 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:49.159 But you just wonder, you know, I don't know. 230 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:53.039 Maybe we'll see, we'll see things figure themselves out when 231 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.799 the whole revenue sharing things starts, you know, in the 232 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:57.320 in the fall or in the summer. 233 00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:57.559 Right. 234 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:00.360 And that's what a lot of people are saying, is that, Okay, 235 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:04.519 when everybody's paying out of their coffers, you know, how 236 00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:08.000 does it change and how important does nil come? 237 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:09.240 Is it still going to be important? 238 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.080 Are you still going to have to go get nil 239 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.399 money for guys on top of what the school is paying. 240 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.039 Well, there's no question that's going to probably be the case. Yeah. 241 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.519 I think of Ohio stand and all those linemen. They're 242 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.600 paying five hundred thousand dollars age. I mean in the 243 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.000 coach we were paying. 244 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.120 He said two million, he said yeah, he said they 245 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.559 had no twenty million, twelve twelve something, you know, multiple 246 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:34.240 millions you know for for uh in nil for that team. 247 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:35.919 Yeah, it makes sense when you're trying to buy a 248 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.000 championship and you may not even buy the championship, Well, 249 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:39.840 you still got to win some games. Win some games. 250 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:41.720 That's the other thing to get the players guess what 251 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.200 they still have to be coached. Yeah, don't end me 252 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:45.960 the coaches, and you better be damn good if you're 253 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.759 a coach, because guess what, your your your length of 254 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.919 stay is not good unless you're winning. That was the 255 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:54.519 case before, but now it's now it's quickly. 256 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:56.120 Well, let me throw this out there from a from 257 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:59.360 a basketball standpoint, at a UFA basketball standpoint. You know 258 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.279 the top that I have with, you know the you 259 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:04.000 know the people that I hang with and stuff. A 260 00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:08.480 lot of discussion about how Arizona has suddenly flipped a 261 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:12.080 switch or something and that and what it and the 262 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.759 way the way we're diagnosing it is that you know, 263 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:17.840 the three guards out there, love love, Bradley and and 264 00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.320 uh and kJ Lewis just didn't seem to be on 265 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.679 the same page. And all of a sudden something happened, 266 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:25.720 and maybe Tommy Lloyd said if I'm Tommy and said, Okay, 267 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:27.159 I don't know how much money you guys are making, 268 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:28.759 or maybe I do know how much, but you're not 269 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:30.759 going to keep making that money if you guys don't 270 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:34.159 get your stuff together and start playing together better. Right 271 00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:36.600 your you know your NBA stock and you guys are 272 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:38.840 trying to It looked to us like they're each one 273 00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.159 of those guys was trying to get his own and 274 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.559 that seemed there was just a lot of dysfunction in 275 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.279 the way they they ran around. 276 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:46.799 That's what your group is like, call it just came 277 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:47.879 up and that's what we came up with. 278 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.559 And that and and that each was trying to get 279 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.200 his own, whether it was to get in the NBA, 280 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.399 whether it was to make more money or whatever, and 281 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:59.799 it wasn't working there they're four and five, and maybe 282 00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:03.919 Tom got to them and said, guys, whatever you think 283 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:05.759 you're doing, it's not working. 284 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:07.440 And something happened. 285 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:10.080 That's how we've diagnosed what's happened with this team over 286 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:10.879 the last several games. 287 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:13.440 I have a different thought, But what's your thoughts. You 288 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:15.240 can't take the money away from them, right, you can't 289 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:16.039 take it away from them. 290 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.240 But if you're crappy, you're not going to make a 291 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:21.240 bunch more money next year because if you're Caleb Love, 292 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:24.120 you're not getting get drafted or kJ Lewis or whatever. 293 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.519 And if you stay, who's going to give you money 294 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.480 if your team doesn't make NC double a tournament? 295 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:30.840 Yeah, I mean kJ Lewis next year would be in New. 296 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:34.799 Mexico right right that And so I'd like to think 297 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.200 that somewhere along the line, whether it was Tommy or 298 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.799 somebody else, said, you guys got it. 299 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.519 You guys got to work this out. So the group 300 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:43.600 that you hang with a few of them ten maybe 301 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:45.799 I was give you ten have said this team has 302 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.679 gotten better, Yes, the better. See, in my thoughts, maybe 303 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:51.519 they played teams that they're just better than bingo bingo, 304 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.200 and guess what they'll They'll play the next two teams 305 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.759 better than they are. You know, they're better than But 306 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.960 when the teams like Iowa State in the Houston's an 307 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.039 not that come in, you're gonna say, well, they're not 308 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.440 as good. Well, they're just they're playing better teams. But 309 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.519 the teams okay, West Virginia, West Virginia kicked a living 310 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:13.200 crap out of them, though there was a one off 311 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:14.799 I could have been a one off, but that's one. 312 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.559 But that's my point, Steve, is that they were playing 313 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:19.759 like crap during all that time. But you know, you 314 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:22.600 know Wisconsin and and and uh and you see, I 315 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.360 mean you see Las turned out to be not a 316 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:25.080 very good team. 317 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:25.960 That they that they. 318 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:28.799 Lost for Michigan is a pretty damn good play team 319 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.279 as well. I don't know you were going to agree 320 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:34.159 with me for a Right before the Cincinnati game, I 321 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:37.000 went down their schedule and went, I wish I was 322 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.039 a place where I could bet, because they're not any good. 323 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:42.399 They've beaten nobody. Yeah, they've beaten nobody. So I wasn't 324 00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:45.080 surprised when Arizona pounded them. Yeah, and I looked at 325 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.639 West Virginia's and I know they didn't have their guy. Yeah, 326 00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:49.159 they didn't have their guy, and that to me, it 327 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:50.000 was a big difference. 328 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:50.399 Yeah. 329 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:53.840 Well yeah, I don't know, but they but Steve, it's 330 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:55.639 still looks better. 331 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:58.440 Oh no, no, no, no question. It looks better what they're 332 00:14:58.480 --> 00:14:58.879 doing there. 333 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.559 There seems to be you know, I remember last time 334 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:04.879 we talked about this, you know, I said that it 335 00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:08.399 looks like chaos over there, and and and it just 336 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:09.159 looks better now. 337 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.960 No, it does look better.
