  Speaker 1: joined us. She is a big baseball fan, by the way,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: big Reds fan. Do you two ever talk baseball at all?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Not much now, but I will maybe because they're out
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: of Sarry Francona is the manager there. They're going to
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: become a little bit of a threat to the Phillies
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: in the National League. So I got to start getting scouting.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Import boy, he's done a great job wherever he goes.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: He gets blood out of a stone in some places
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: where you're not supposed to. This was a big week
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: for Yukon Athletics as Jason Kanda was introduced as the
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: new head coach of the football team, and he'll take
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: over when the bowl game's over in a couple of weeks.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: David Benedick, though, mentioned that you as the closer being
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: uh so to speak, I don't know how much credit
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: you get, but I know you've got a chance to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: meet Jason. What's your thoughts on the new football coach
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: over from Toledo?
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, uh you know, but what that
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: means you know.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: It means you had a good cover, right.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Wasn't That wasn't exactly Marianna Rivera, you know, going in
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: there and throwing the last the last half of the
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of the inning of the game. Just a really really straightforward,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: down the earth, no nonsense kind of guy. I really believe.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: And uh the development of players, uh, getting you know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: getting good high school players to come and coaching them up.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: And they've always been the other dog outside the league.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: You know it be Mississippi State.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: They be paid.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: So when you have and when you have a coach
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: that's in a tough league, you know, those schools are
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: all pretty much evenly balanced, you know, and they all
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: have terrific coaching.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Uh, and.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: They uh, they compete against the power schools and beat them.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: So he he knows how to win big games. He
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: only knows winning They in the bowl game every year
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: that he's been there. And I I like his you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I like his demeanor. No, you can tell you that, uh,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: he's got a burning deep down inside. I mean it
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: doesn't show it all the time. Just looks like he's
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you know, he's got that competitive fire. So I'm anxious
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: to see now see how his team responsed to him.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be a lot of fun, that's for sure.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Before we go, we had a couple of minutes left.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Just an update if you would. Caroline de charm and
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Yanna Patterson. These are two young ladies that have battled
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: through a whole lot in their careers, finally healthy, finally
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: getting a chance to play. What if you liked about
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: their play so far, the chances that they've had a
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: chance to go out and compete against other programs, I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: think that, you.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Know, obviously, for different reasons, they've they've asked a huge
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: chunk of their careers. Uh, you know, Carol, and coming
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: from uh where she was as as a freshman, everybody
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: kind of remembers the year Page was out, she was
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: our best player.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for for the whole time Pages out and and
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: then to just have it go away, it's taken.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: It's taken obviously a toll, and she's not one hundred
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: percent the player that she was, But that doesn't mean
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: that I would hesitate to put her in and any situation,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and I think she'll get it back little by little.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: It's different. Practicing getting into a game is a little
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: bit different. And Yanna has played so little basketball. You know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: she she had her freshman year here and that's it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: So you know what you're always going to get. You know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Yanna's going to go in there and work hard, she's
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: going to hustle, she's going to rebound for you. And
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: it's finding time for all these guys that you knew
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: would be an issue going in. But I've been really happy.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: You know, they they're great, great teammates, great, great to
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: be around them and the players, so I'm I'm pretty
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: comfortable with with how they've how they've played, and and
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I I can only hope they just keep getting better.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got about a minute left. When we go
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to USC. Normally you try to get an extra team,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: an extra game out there because you know you're going
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: coast to coast, but we're going a day early playing
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the game coming back here. Is that just to kind
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of get acclimated with the West coast or is there
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a little more activity out there, like say on Friday
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: ahead of the game.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: That's normally what we would do on any any trip
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of a significant distance. You know, you try to you
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: try to get out there and and make it a
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: try it, try to get activated, making a smooth as
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: possible transition. But uh, there we have a lot of
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: fans out there. There's a lot of people coming to
