Okay, well, you know what, 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:29.440 anything else you want to talk about? I think you 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.520 six times making the n A two playoffs, not getting 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:32.280 out of the first round. 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.400 Well you're great. Thank you. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:44.200 On Friday and in overtime he gave you a run though. 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.360 Yeah good, Yeah, yeah, I did not bear trap. 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.240 Scared me when he tied me up at the end there. Yeah, 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.000 puts you in a bear trap, coach. What is the 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.600 hardest position to fill on a football team? 0:01:55.680 --> 0:02:00.240 Oh, big guys and cover kids are hard to find 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.800 in the college level. Most of the skill kids want 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.120 to be receivers and touch the football. 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.600 These great athletic big kids. 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.240 There's not enough of them to go around. We all 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:14.280 want great athletic, big long guys. Hard to find. Yeah, 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:20.200 so yeah, probably edge long big guys and cover kids 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:20.959 is what we always say. 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:25.400 What about the what about the stereotype that Wisconsin is 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.080 filled with just giant farm kids. Is it easier to 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.680 find defensive linemen and offensive linemen that are just big, 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.520 you know, rough dudes at the bail hay every day and. 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:38.320 Twenty one? 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:43.639 There's probably something to the blue collar clientele we have, 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.640 and but we get it from Minnesota too, But we 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.840 we're kind of a blue collar group. We attract that, 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.679 the school attracts that. We're a broad criculum. We have kids, 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.800 and I think we have forty seven different majors represented 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.959 on our team. But we got some mad kids and 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:00.360 they're tough, and. 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:04.440 Yeah, yeah, is it hard to find specialty like long 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:05.360 snappers and kickers. 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:11.720 We've been pretty blessed with that. Actually, that long snapping things. 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.120 It's kind of like this is going to be wrong, 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.480 But like hockey's got its own little world, right, left 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:21.080 handed pitchers have their own little snappers and kickers have 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:22.079 their own little world too. 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:23.720 We've we've been lucky. We've got some We've had some 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.399 really good ones in some great ones. In fact, there's 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.440 a guy named Kyle Stelter. He's the River Falls grad, 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:30.920 had a little cup of coffee I think with the Jets, 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:32.840 but he runs a special team to you is what 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.200 he calls it. And he's one of the leading long 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.240 snapping coaches for all the professional football snappers in the 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.800 entire country. Wow, amazing he's based out of a player, 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:43.800 but yeah, incredible. 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.320 We kind of have this little little niche with long snapping. Yeah, 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:48.560 that's interesting, coach. 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.120 Coach, I've always been curious about like your kind of 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.440 perspective on high school athletes, Like, obviously you're recruiting football players, 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.920 but do you look at like other sports and kids' 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:01.360 ability to go play basketball, play hockey or or baseball 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:01.840 or something like that. 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.640 Is that something that intrigues you as like multiple sport athletes. 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.920 I'm super intrigued with multiple sport athletes. 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:11.280 I'm so tired of the people that say we support 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.320 multi sport athletes and then don't support multi sport athletes. 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.839 This drives me the na because they know it's the 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.919 right thing to say, and then they're having nine practices 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:21.400 a week for their club team and you can't do 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:21.920 anything else. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:22.800 I'm just so against it. 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.800 And I played two sports in college and all for 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.000 it for sure. I think it's what we need to 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:29.360 be doing. 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:34.719 Yeah, so much specialization, is it's crazy? Hockey academies perish. 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.080 Yeah, yeah, it's your fault, it's all It's all my fault. Yeah, 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.279 I was the one that worked super hard in the summer. Yeah, no, 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.159 it's it's It's funny though, you know, the we've talked 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.240 about that at the NHL level for quite a while now. 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.359 And it's as much as multi sports. I grew up 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:56.320 playing you know, football, baseball, anything, anything I could play. Uh, 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.679 It's it's hard to argue against some of these kids 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:02.640 now though, with their skill and the talent that are 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.920 getting into the NHL and just taking the world by storm. Storm. 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:10.120 So absolutely love multi sports. Uh, Like I said, that 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.320 was the way I grew up. But at the same time, 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.720 for for the for the kids that that crave it 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.919 and and that wanted that much, you have to have 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:18.880 that outlet for them. 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.840 And there are plenty of them. And I get it. 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:23.360 I get it. 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.400 I do, and I just hope it's the kids that 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.480 want it, not the parents. And because yeah, we've all 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.880 seen those nightmares. This talk about the mess in high 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.839 level college football, This youth sports is a mess right now, 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.440 and yeah, we gotta we gotta figure it out too. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.080 And here I am bashing then, I'm coaching every d 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:44.880 m U sports Teama Valley, but yeah, we got. 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.000 To get a handle on that as well. Yeah, that's true. 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:51.039 It's time for Fan five on the Power Drift presented 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.000 by Builders and Remodelers. 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:55.080 Builders and remodelers. 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.479 All right, coach, you mentioned that you you played baseball, 0:05:58.480 --> 0:05:59.120 you like baseball. 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:00.440 We haven't mentioned this once yet. 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.480 Carlos Beltran and Andrew Jones both elected to the Baseball 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:05.240 Hall of Fame. 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.359 A bunch of the big name still left off. 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.520 Like like Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez. I think Ramirez was 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.039 in his tenth year, so it looks like it's over 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.680 for him. But the steroid era is just of course 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.720 did not age well. But Beltran and Andrew Jones both 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:21.320 in incredible players. 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.159 Kind of in my prime of watching Major League baseball. 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.800 I'm all for letting those guys all in with the asterix. 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:30.479 I think they got to be in. They tell the 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.080 story of the history of baseball. We got they got 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:34.520 to be in me and Barry Bonds is the best 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.040 player to ever walk the planet, and Roger Clemens and 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.480 Alex Yet yet four of maybe the best ten players 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.160 to ever walk our planet put an asterix or something. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.920 But they tell the story of our of our game. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.400 I say our game. I love baseball, but same reason 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:48.880 I wanted Pete Rose in the whole thing. 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.960 Yeah yeah, Manny Ramirez a rod like I said, definitely 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.360 feeling that wrath for sure, right. 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.080 Because it's a part of the history of baseball. You 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.360 know that that era, steroid era is what it is. 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.479 But I think they need to be in to tell 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:04.000 the story. 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.120 I think he was thirty something percent, so not even close. 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:12.040 It's weird because they all profited off of that, the owners, everybody, 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.600 and now they're like, no, that didn't exist. We're not 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.760 helping those guys at all. Barry Bonds may have taken 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.240 a bunch of steroids, it's still the hardest thing in 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.640 sports to do, and he did it at a high level. 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.240 He should be in a rod should be in, Like 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:27.360 you said, they should all be in. 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.160 But the numbers are inflated. 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:33.160 Yeah, And I'm not a proponent of celebrating the I'm sorry, Bud, 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.040 I'm not celebrating the performance enhancing drug use, but I 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:41.040 am I want I'm in with with an asterisk to 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:42.360 tell the story. 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.520 Lagged the Jews, Yep, we all do Jews.

Right, 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.880 it was the greatest saved baseball. It was the best. 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.360 Who cares if they were choosing hit it?

Yeah, yeah, 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.200 it's it's a shame it's tainted. 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.680 With with the steroids. 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.520 But got it was and the greatest commercial ever with 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.920 the chicks dig the long ball commercials. 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.360 Yeah, so good that it made it fun, made it 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.000 Parker wasn't even na I mean, I can assume it 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.520 was sweet. It was the best. It was. It was 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.319 negative one years old, amazing something. Come on, you missed 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:53.320 the golden age of baseball eight? Yeah you did. I 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:54.600 was there the year. 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:59.120 My cousins are from San Francisco, five home runs before 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:00.440 Barry Bonds broke the record. 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.480 Wow. I was in attendance, so that was a great stadium. 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:07.160 That was unbelievable. I love that baseball. Did he hit 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:07.880 one in that game? 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:08.040 Though? 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:09.640 They I mean hit one every game. 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:11.719 I mean we were in the outfield too, We're like, 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.120 let's get one of his you know, his his his 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.040 ball runs, get his balls. 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.760 But tiny unbelievable. Yeah, I gotta be. You don't care 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:20.440 yours already? 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:20.600 Are? 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:22.679 You don't care if you need a bit morning have 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.480 these things? 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:34.480 They're all wrinkled. Yeah, I agree, Tom. 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.400 The Jazz were double digit underdog to the Timberwolves, but 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.240 they come back in the fourth quarter and win one. 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.720 Twenty seven Kanti George courtA career high forty three for 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.959 the Jazz. Ace Bailey had twenty. He drilled the three 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.000 in Parker's face last year, uh and had thirty eight, 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:56.560 but on eleven of twenty eight shooting. That's not super efficient. 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.880 The Wolves are now twenty seven and seventeen up next 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.440 the Bulls at Target Center on Thursday. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:03.840 Yeah, we're a pretty good position there. 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:05.559 I think we ended up climbing all the way to 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.680 second in the West and then you lose a couple 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.600 and next thing you know, you're fourth or fifth, So, 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:11.960 but it's a game of runs, it's a game of 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:12.880 highs and lows. 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:13.719 The Wolves will be all right. 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:15.959 We were talking the other day, like, who are teams 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.640 that make you nervous? I think Oklahoma is one of 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.480 those teams. I think Houston's one of those teams, and 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:22.680 San Antonio one of those teams. But outside of those three, 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.320 I feel pretty confident. We've continued to have Denver's number, 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:27.440 and then some of these other teams are a little 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:28.400 beaten and battered. 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:30.120 But we'll be all right, right hawk. 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.880 Yeah, that's right, bab, We're gonna be alright. Yep'd be cool. 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.240 The Wild loss of the Canadians late Coal caw Field 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.160 scored with fifteen seconds to go to. 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.040 Winning for Montreal. 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.520 Up next a four game home stand for the Minnesota Wild, 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.480 including Detroit tomorrow. 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:44.720 At eight thirty. 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.520 Yeah, yeah, hey, one, two or three. Tough finish on 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.440 the on the road, but it was a tough schedule, 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.679 three games in four nights, three different cities. Obviously, Now 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.200 get a chance to come home and yeah, get some 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.280 rest in their own bed, get a little home cooking, 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.000 get in front of the hometown out and get a 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:02.320 couple of wins at home? 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.280 All right, dumb question. Dumb hockey question. 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.840 You know, like when a when a quarterback plays super 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.440 well for like six to eight games and then all 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:09.959 of a sudden he starts getting his butt kick and 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.080 everybody says, well, now there's enough tape where the other 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.160 defenses have figured him out. Yeah, is Walsteed kind of 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:19.480 experiencing that because he was like unbelievable the first couple 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.400 of months and now he's getting rocked a little bit. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.000 No, last night wasn't his fault? Ball said, played well 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:24.520 last night? 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:25.640 No? 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.280 Is there truth when hockey? Does that happen or not? Really? 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.200 Well? Yeah, no, definitely that does happen. You know, because 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:32.960 you will get a book on guys. Guys will start 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.080 to learn your you know, the weaknesses, your strengths. But 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.320 that's also part of growing up and adjusting as a 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.920 goaltender in the NHL. He's gonna you're going to go 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.880 through moments like this where guys are going to kind 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:43.680 of find a spot and pick you apart a little bit, 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:45.680 and he's going to make some adjustments and figure it 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:49.000 out and continue to be a spectacular goaltender. And that's 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.520 just the that's just being a young goalie in the league. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.480 It's just going to happen, and it even happens to 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.880 veterans where they just kind of get off for a 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.240 little while you don't know why, and get back, just 0:11:58.320 --> 0:11:59.959 keep working hard and get back at it. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.840 So that final goal, who whose fault was it? Favor? 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:08.200 Yeah, rock, he got. He took a breath, He took 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.040 a breath. He hate he was on caw Field. He 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.400 kind of got pucks, goot puck watching a little bit, 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.480 looked over his left shoulder, and Cawfield just took a 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:21.160 step and a half separation. And that guy has that 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.960 little Wisconsin boy, he's got an absolute cannon of a 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.520 shot and he can pick a corner. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:27.439 And that's just it. 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.280 Literally was the one guy they're looking to set up 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:31.719 and the one guy that we did not want to 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:32.360 get the puck. 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:32.679 On his stick. 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.719 And hey, that's what makes skill guys skilled. They get 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.439 open even against great defense. All Right, one last hardcore 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:39.160 hockey question. 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.280 Billy g got ripped a little bit for going to 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.600 the well with Vladimir Tarasenko. It's like we got him 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:48.560 like thirty years past his prime, Like what are we 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.320 doing with Tarasenko? Yeah, he's been like a nice surprise 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.160 two goals last night. I mean, he's been a streaky guy. 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.560 But your overall thoughts on Tarasenko, what three four months 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:58.200 into the season. 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.080 I like it because you're adding the depth scoring is 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.480 something that we've been looking for, right, And yeah, you're 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.240 not getting Vladimir Tarasenko in his prime when he was 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:09.520 you know, probably your first line left winger, you know, 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.480 scoring forty goals a year, not getting that same exact guy. 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.480 But what we're getting is the depth player. And if 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.599 he can still contribute, he can still kick in in 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.360 games here and there, have a couple of goals, take 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.680 some weight off of the big boys, off capriz Of 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:23.360 and Boldie, so they don't have to do it every 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.679 single night. I mean, yeah, I've loved what he's brought. 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:26.959 To the table. 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.360 And obviously you bring another power play, bringing a left 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.680 handed shot on the power play, another left handed shot 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:32.360 on the power play. 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.480 But you know, I liked that move. 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.280 Yeah, I know people maybe got a little bit upset 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.760 because it's that age, right, and when you're going to 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.559 bring an age, you hope that they can produce. But 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:46.439 Vladimir tara Sinkle not only can still score the score goals, 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.920 but he does have a Stanley Cup on his Stanley 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.480 Cup ring excuse me, on his finger, so he brings 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.760 a lot more than just scoring goals. 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:57.199 Well, I mean, if you're a little jealous, you just 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.400 want to touch this trophy and feel what that's like. 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:05.280 Yeah, yeah, yeah, tuggs everybody that feels good. 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:07.480 It's heavier than you think. 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.640 And I picked it up. I literally he tried to 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:11.120 take it home. 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.480 Yeah, I didn't fit in my back again. 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.240 Now, Matt Walker's our guessed the head coach of the 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.600 UW River Falls Falcons National champions Division II football. They 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.280 should congratulations again, thanks for coming in. 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.160 Appreciate it very much. What still surprises you about your job? 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.800 You know, I think that, uh, this generation of kids 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:33.080 is getting bashed and and you know, everybody thinks the 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:34.600 the end of the world with these kids. 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:39.880 But I agree, relax, Tom Shane agreed it's over for 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:40.360 the youth. 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.960 I my slice of guys I work with. 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.040 I would tell you I don't believe that there's such 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.160 good kids and they're motivated and they want to be led, 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.480 and they want to do the right thing, and they 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.920 work their butt off for you. So I would tell 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.160 you this isn't surprising, that was the question. But like 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.360 one of the things I'm thankful for and love is 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:02.120 that the slice of eyes from the generation that I have, 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.040 I love them and I think that it makes me 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:06.080 feel good about our world. 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.280 Is it true as a head coach that if you 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:09.960 get a phone call at two or three in the morning, 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.040 you almost always know that that's a bad phone call 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.400 and it's gonna be some kind of situation that you're 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:16.160 gonna I do. 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.840 And we have a team rule that if you're if 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.920 you know you're gonna get in trouble, I have I 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.880 better hear it from you first or your punishment's going 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:25.360 to be worse. 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.120 And so it is funny. 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.200 I'll get some of these freshmen that'll have the you 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.160 know who, we all got caught with some beers in 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:35.720 the norms. So I'll get the occasional eighteen to nineteen 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.720 year old calling me at two in the morning, and. 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.840 My wife will get my wife like, oh god, what 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:42.080 freshmen got caught? Right? 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.000 And here they are trying to be all serious and 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:50.720 they're probably intoxicated, coach, but I'm like, hey, you did 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.440 the right thing. You told me first. So they're they're 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:57.280 punishments less. So yes, I get them, not a lot. 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:58.960 Thank God, I got a pretty good group. And that's 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.600 a tough call. And as I said, the freshmen are, 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.080 they're freaked out by me still for the most part. 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.600 That the older guys know I'm a pushover. They're they're 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:12.000 not scared anymore. But I'm their buddy. But the freshman scared. 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.560 How do you think your players would describe you as 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:14.920 a coach? 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:20.200 Oh, I think that they would say in the positive 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.640 right way. I walk the line of being their buddy 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.480 as much as their their coach. Like I love college 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:28.760 sports because I love being around these kids and this 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:32.760 aged kids, and they keep me young. It's funny, like 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.440 it feels like overnight, I was the young coach for Song. 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.840 I was at twenty three, I was the head baseball 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.040 coach at DePaul. At twenty eight, I was the head 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:41.840 football coach there. And even when I got here, I 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.480 was in my thirties. And but it feels like overnight, 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:45.640 I've become the old guy. 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:46.000 Now. 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.040 They joke with me about things I make fun of 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.680 my father for, you know, like I can't see anymore 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.040 without glasses on, and then I can't work the computer 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:56.080 and the team meetings. 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.280 But I'd like to think that they they feel comfortable 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.560 telling me anything, making that call. As hard as it is, 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.280 they are comfortable and that I'm that I'm I'm I'm a. 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.399 Good like I said I joked about earlier. 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.600 But I feel like I'm a normal dude and a 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:15.120 profession of crazies. And I say, don't get confused with 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:19.000 my competitiveness, like, I'm normal, but nobody wants to play 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:26.000 me in ping pong in the locker room. 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:29.919 Yeah, because you're a psycho competitor. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:34.560 Like, yeah, so I don't know what the rules are 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.280 as far as staffing goes, But do you have enough employees? 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.920 Do you have enough help? You know, I think we 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:46.000 all want more help. I don't want to get myself 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:47.400 in troll with my employer. 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:51.399 Yeah, I think that we I'd say we're to the 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.280 average Division III football staff. 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.360 Probably a guy or too short with full time. 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.080 I'm blessed with an army of guys, with these part 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.320
