I think I'm gonna see how 59 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,759 I feel being in the cold again and if I'm ready, 60 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,439 But yeah, no, I I I will make sure that 61 00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:45,560 I'm warm. But that way as much's it more important 62 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,840 for me to be warm than to care how good 63 00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:51,840 I look. I'm never I'm excited to get. 64 00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:54,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, who are you excited to? Kind of you know, 65 00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:57,400 reconnect with from the alums. I know you're you're you're 66 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,439 well connected with the current team as well, is the 67 00:03:00,479 --> 00:03:04,199 coaching staff, et cetera. But who you look into maybe 68 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,719 interact with once again. From the rosters that are going 69 00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:10,960 to be showing up, these former Cougars that are showing up. 70 00:03:11,439 --> 00:03:14,439 Speaker 4: Well, I'd like to catch the passes again from Brandon Doughlan. 71 00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:17,879 You know, yeah, I love Brandon and so that'll be 72 00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:20,039 fun where I think we're on the same the same 73 00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:22,199 team as well, So there's I think it's gonna be 74 00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:23,680 a lot of fun. I hope that that we have 75 00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:27,879 a good turnout, and you know, I'm really anxious to 76 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,280 just kind of see how how this YU team sizes 77 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,840 up come this fall. You know, I can't I can't 78 00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:37,039 wait to see what they're gonna do. 79 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot of optimism. Right. 80 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: Seventy percent of their production returns, which is is pretty insane. 81 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,360 Their top twenty in returning production in college football, and 82 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,919 so expectations are right. 83 00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:54,879 Speaker 3: Barrelok's phenomenal right now, he looks really really good. 84 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,159 Speaker 1: The defense is stacked from a talent standpoint at every 85 00:03:59,199 --> 00:03:59,960 single position. 86 00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 4: You want to you know, I had I had one 87 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,159 of the uh I won't I won't use his name, 88 00:04:06,199 --> 00:04:08,240 but but one of one of the very thought after 89 00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:12,400 players that that uh J Hale wanted and and Michigan 90 00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:15,800 would have wanted from Bay to transfer. And I had 91 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,480 him in the shop the other day. We were talking 92 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,120 and I and I just asked him, you know, what 93 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,120 what it is you know about b YU that kept 94 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,439 everybody here And and one of the pieces of the 95 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,680 puzzle that that I hadn't really thought about is his 96 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,360 mindset was it looks better when I'm looking to go 97 00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:37,319 to the NFL, it looks better for me that I 98 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,600 stayed in one place. And if the scouts are starting 99 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,319 to see that, and they're paying better attention to those 100 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,519 guys that are focused and where they're at and they're 101 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,839 not transferring every year, so you know, I thought that 102 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,160 that was very interesting. And then just the culture of 103 00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:52,839 itself and and the feeling that these guys get that 104 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,600 no matter who the coaches are, it's the players that 105 00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:57,680 are playing, and they're gonna they're gonna get out there 106 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,600 and and prove that that everybody staying for a reason. 107 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,920 And I think it's fun to see some of the 108 00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:07,319 coaching staff and you know, I'm not going to say 109 00:05:07,319 --> 00:05:09,720 it's a relaxed vibe, but it's definitely not as tense 110 00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:12,079 as it has been in the past. Now for an 111 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,680 Aaron Rodgers has not had to be been in this 112 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,560 position of having to return quarterback again and knowing what 113 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,920 he has and moving forward. So I think that it's 114 00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:25,560 been fun to just see that. I think that everybody 115 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,319 knows what we have. It's just a matter of being 116 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,480 able to game plan properly, make the right adjustments during 117 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,720 the game in order to make sure that we stay 118 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,839 on top and just stay on the gas. But I 119 00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:39,600 think that this team is very well positioned to do 120 00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:40,560 really well next year. 121 00:05:41,439 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: Yes, you mentioned Aaron Roderick, and does it even to 122 00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:51,199 the state like, does Aaron get enough credit for what 123 00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:55,519 happened last year offensively with Bear coming in becoming the 124 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,519 starter and leading b YU along with the defense, good 125 00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:03,000 special team's unit as well to a top twenty five 126 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,120 season in twelve wins. 127 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 4: Unfortunately for the common fan, I think it takes two 128 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,160 or three years of success for an offensive coordinator before 129 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,199 they'll actually start giving him credit. I mean, it's one 130 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,560 hundred percent he's not getting what he deserves within the 131 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,000 fan base within national media. Yeah, he's getting what he's being. 132 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,680 He's being seen as who he is and I think 133 00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:30,000 BYU fans, and we need to get on board and 134 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,720 make sure that we're back in an incredible offensive coordinator 135 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,959 who is in the ear of our outstanding quarterback and 136 00:06:37,959 --> 00:06:40,120 who's making the decisions on what we do next and 137 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,319 how we game plan and and how we beat the 138 00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:46,160 other team and how we take our personnel and maximize 139 00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:48,879 them to beat the one on ones that that we 140 00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:52,079 face on the other side of the ball. So he's 141 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,319 done really well. I think he'll continue to do well. 142 00:06:55,399 --> 00:06:59,319 He's recruited well. I mean, who's coming after Bear? You know, 143 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,839 we've got the one of the top recruits in the nation. 144 00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:05,000 He was on his mission out writer and it'll be 145 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,519 great to see him come in as well and maybe 146 00:07:07,519 --> 00:07:10,680 fill the shoes right after Bear. But he's doing something 147 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,639 right and I would love for him to get the 148 00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:18,240 credit from from the fans, the WYU fans that I 149 00:07:18,279 --> 00:07:20,800 think he deserves better. And then I think he's getting nationally, 150 00:07:20,839 --> 00:07:25,720 but I think it'll take this year really showing what 151 00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:28,680 he can do for the fans to buy in all 152 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:28,959 the way. 153 00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:33,839 Speaker 1: So Aaron was asked a question about you know, wide 154 00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:38,319 receiver room and what we have there, because there's you know, 155 00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:39,560 question marks right Chase. 156 00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:41,759 Speaker 3: Is going on, Parker's no longer part of the program. 157 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,879 Speaker 1: He got some new faces, unproven players, et cetera, and 158 00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:48,800 he said, we will have enough weapons, and he went 159 00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:54,399 on to discuss you know, guys like Tainakua, Reggie Frishnet, 160 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,360 and he didn't want to forget you know. He also 161 00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:01,959 I think he talked about Jojo Phillips definitely taking a 162 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,360 step forward as well. When we when we talk about 163 00:08:05,439 --> 00:08:09,959 having enough weapons, is it just enough to have enough 164 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,160 weapons or is this just an average room, an above 165 00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:16,759 average room, or do we have some true playmakers in 166 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,120 this room? 167 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 4: Depeeld Well, I think, I definitely think there's playmakers in 168 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,079 the room. But in order for those guys to make plays, 169 00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:26,439 so much has to go into the you know, from 170 00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,399 the game plan, to the right play calling and to 171 00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:32,799 everybody doing doing their job on those plays in order 172 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,039 for that player to make those plays. And I think 173 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,039 we're going to have that. I do believe that the 174 00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:42,039 receiver room is they have proving to do. We have 175 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,399 to see them play in a game situation, not just 176 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,879 discreens practice, make an amazing catch that in a game situation, 177 00:08:49,639 --> 00:08:52,720 and and they're going to prove themselves. And like I've 178 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,200 said the whole time, I think there's going to be 179 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,480 two or three that really stand out and become those guys. 180 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,639 And but it'll be I'm anxious to see who those are, 181 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,799 but it's gonna take game testing in order for me 182 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,519 to buy in that one of them is that guy, 183 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,799 or two or three of them. 184 00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: Kyler Casper is a guy that you've got, you've become 185 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,879 familiar with. Aaron Roderick like gushed over Kyler Casper in 186 00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:20,159 this interview, Well, what is the potential for this young man? 187 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,720 Great size, comes from great stock. His dad was an 188 00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:29,039 NFL wide receiver. He got recruited organ If you're a 189 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,960 wide receiver and getting recruited organ and you didn't like transition, 190 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,919 like they didn't like push him to like tight end, 191 00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:36,960 that means he's a wide receiver right Like he's still 192 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,480 and he was trending to be a I think pivotal 193 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,120 piece within that wide receiver room before his injury delaying 194 00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:46,559 his his season last year. 195 00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 3: What can we expect from Kyler Casper? 196 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,879 Speaker 4: Well, I have high expectations for him. I think that 197 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,919 he knows how to use his size, and he's you know, 198 00:09:56,039 --> 00:10:00,080 sometimes you get these big, real tall receivers in and 199 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,120 they're just not as a durable might not be the 200 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,759 right word, but but you know what I mean, Like 201 00:10:04,799 --> 00:10:07,480 in and out of breaks, they're not quick, they're you know, 202 00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:10,120 they have a long stride, but maybe they don't use 203 00:10:10,159 --> 00:10:12,519 that stride well, or they have this body that all 204 00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:14,759 they need to do is use it for leverage or 205 00:10:14,799 --> 00:10:17,679 to give themselves a chance on a ball and use 206 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,200 their height properly. But the one thing that I think 207 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,480 that he does is that he knows how to utilize 208 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,360 what he has and I think that's I've seen that 209 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,279 in spring ball and so that's going to be fun 210 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,559 to see. And just being able to stretch the field. 211 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,480 He's a deep call. He's a deep ball guy, you know, 212 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,120 and he's an he's an easy corner of the end 213 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,960 zone guy to out jump, you know, some of these 214 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,200 shorter dvs. So I think that he but but once again, 215 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,279 it also brings it back to he's he's unproven game 216 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,279 time at b YU. You know, obviously he played well 217 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,720 growing up in order to get an opportunity at Oregon 218 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,519 so the potential and the talent is there, and and 219 00:10:57,639 --> 00:11:00,000 it's all going to have to do with these receivers 220 00:11:00,039 --> 00:11:04,120 and the quarterbacks coming together and really being able to 221 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,480 bond and get their timing down properly. And I think that, 222 00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:10,200 you know, this guy's the limit for him if he 223 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,320 if he comes out and does what I think he 224 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:12,720 can do. 225 00:11:14,159 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: Jared bledsoe Utah Protective Filmsutapprotective Films dot com.

And so one of the 233 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,679 biggest pieces of the puzzle for us is that you're 234 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,519 the guys that you meet at the front of the shop. 235 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,559 The guys that you talked to on the phone were 236 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,519 all the same people that are in the shop working. 237 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,000 So your installation is done by employees, not by contract workers. 238 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,279 And I think that's important and we stand behind our products, 239 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,080 our installations.

Sometimes it's aesthetic, sometimes it's functional. Give 251 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,200 us a little breakdown of that for those that have 252 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,440 an evaluated getting a rap. 253 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:34,799 Speaker 3: What are some of the benefits of the rap? 254 00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, so we don't use vinyl. Vinyl is a product 255 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,879 that doesn't last. It's maybe a couple of year lifespan 256 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,159 out of it, and when rocks hitting, it rips the 257 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,960 vinyl and you see the color underneath. So we use 258 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,919 a color paint protection film which is a ten year 259 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,679 warranty product about one hundred and fifty colors. And Yeah, 260 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,519 we see a lot of new cars that are coming 261 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,799 in where there's a lot of toughers where there's only 262 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,000 a limited supply of options. There's only four different colors 263 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,840 for them to choose from, and and so we'll get 264 00:13:04,879 --> 00:13:06,200 a lot of those that come in and just go 265 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,600 for the pre color and then they ought to change 266 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,679 it through a rap. 267 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: A lot of people are getting into the summer months too. 268 00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:15,759 The tent is going to come in handy, it is. 269 00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:20,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, So it's it's ceramic heat rejection blocks. The UV 270 00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:23,000 blocks a lot of the infrared, and so it keeps 271 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,159 the heat out and you really notice a difference, especially 272 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,600 in the hot Utah weather. 273 00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 3: No doubt about it. A couple of last things before 274 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:30,480 I let you go. 275 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: Jared Bledze, former b YU wide receiver talking some BYU football, 276 00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:39,120 little Camp Killani by the way, BYU baseball, getting getting 277 00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:41,320 beat up right now, bottom of the fourth. They're down 278 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,600 nine to one to Kansas State. Not looking too hot 279 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,639 right now, giving up a lot of runs. Eleven hits, 280 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,720 nine runs on eleven hits BYU with only one run 281 00:13:51,799 --> 00:13:52,240 one hit. 282 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 3: And I think it was actually it was a beautiful. 283 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,639 Speaker 1: It was a jack on one four hundred and fifty 284 00:13:56,639 --> 00:14:00,360 two feet I think to the right, want to say, 285 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,120 maybe right center field. Anyway, that's the only run boy 286 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,879 you has and the only only hit that they have 287 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,840 all game right now, so hopefully they can turn it around. 288 00:14:08,879 --> 00:14:11,919 But going back to BYU football, what what do you 289 00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:14,679 think was accomplished in spring ball? 290 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:15,399 Speaker 3: Right? 291 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:15,639 Speaker 2: Like? 292 00:14:16,519 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: What was what was kind of the quest the goals 293 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,000 during spring balls from your vantage point? And what do 294 00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:25,879 you feel was accomplished offensively, defensively special teams wise? 295 00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:28,759 Speaker 4: I think a big piece of it was the new 296 00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:32,320 coaches having the opportunity to coach their playing, their players 297 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,600 and be fully involved in kind of setting the tone 298 00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:38,279 for what they expect. 299 00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:38,639 Speaker 3: From the players. 300 00:14:38,679 --> 00:14:41,679 Speaker 4: And it's always good to build a bond with your coach, 301 00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:45,360 especially your position coach, and spring ball is a great 302 00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:47,000 time to do it because it's a little bit more 303 00:14:47,039 --> 00:14:50,759 relaxed in your day to day and you know, it's 304 00:14:50,799 --> 00:14:54,200 not every day and so there's just a different focus there. 305 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,679 But I think the opportunity for these new coaches to 306 00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:00,639 get in there and learn learn what they're playing, are doing, 307 00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:02,679 and how they can coach them better and and the 308 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,279 schemes can kind of start getting put together. And I 309 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,279 think that's you know, I think realizing, you know, we 310 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,919 got what we thought we had and now it's time 311 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,840 to figure out how to go game in and game 312 00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:17,679 out and game plan properly and perform to the best 313 00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:19,279 their abilities. And I think they're just going to have 314 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,720 a really good season. I mean, there's there's potential that 315 00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:25,200 this could be one of those magic seasons, but you know, 316 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,919 it takes a lot of hard work to get there. 317 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,159 But I think that they're putting it. 318 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 3: In bee way. 319 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,159 Speaker 1: You just received a commitment from Titan to young product 320 00:15:34,159 --> 00:15:36,840 Atnounticus High School and harrim And High School. Really good player, 321 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,559 two way player. I can play linebacker, tight end for 322 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,799 the KuPS, but most likely to be on the defensive 323 00:15:42,799 --> 00:15:45,600 side of the ball. We're catching up with him at 324 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,000 five thirty. But one of the things that I heard 325 00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:49,639 through the Great Vine is that one of the reasons 326 00:15:49,639 --> 00:15:52,519 why he chose Bieley is because he's got to practice recently, 327 00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:56,000 and he talks about like the vibe, the energy, how 328 00:15:56,159 --> 00:16:00,720 coaches coach players, how players communicate with coaches, and he said, 329 00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:06,279 like the energy was just so electric and so positive, 330 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,039 and it was such a vibe. He told himself. Essentially, 331 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,240 he's like, I got to be a part of this. 332 00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:13,120 I gotta be a part of this. And when it 333 00:16:13,159 --> 00:16:15,960 felt right. He's like he's early in the process. Quite honestly, 334 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,279 he didn't have to commit right Now's March thirtieth, March 335 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,080 thirty first, he's committing right now because of you know, 336 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,080 the you know, being down there practice of film, the 337 00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:26,600 vibe right like you've been down there many times and 338 00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:28,639 we don't have to go into detail about all things 339 00:16:28,679 --> 00:16:31,080 that you know at practice, but man, what is that 340 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,120 vibe like? Well, how would you describe the practice vibe 341 00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:38,360 with this this coaching staff, this crew led by Kilane. 342 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's high energy, you know, and the 343 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,279 high and it's a contagious energy. And I just believe 344 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,399 that the players know who they are and they know 345 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,840 what they have and and you can feel that as 346 00:16:50,879 --> 00:16:52,960 a group. You know, it's it's not there's not a 347 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,559 lot of question marks going into this year. You know 348 00:16:56,639 --> 00:17:00,200 that a lot of that has been feeled before or 349 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,360 the springball even started. You knew, especially when you have 350 00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:06,960 in this day and age where these it's so easy 351 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,880 to leave, you know, it's so easy. They made it 352 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,359 so hard for us to transfer. There were consequences. There 353 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,480 were you know, you got to shit out a year 354 00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:17,519 if you wanted to go D one. Otherwise you had 355 00:17:17,519 --> 00:17:20,720 to go to Division two NAI and so they make 356 00:17:20,799 --> 00:17:23,799 it so easy to transfer that I think that they're 357 00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:26,079 starting to feel that too, how easy it is to 358 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,799 just come and go.
