  Speaker 1: I guess if you got the pink in there, wow.
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: I mean if you go there a lot.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: Oh gee, Darryl Texsan he is a Royal Caribbean Crown

  Speaker 7: came here to A and M, when you're an athlete,
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: you don't. You didn't have to like sit there for
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: the ticket pull or ticket lines. We get to get

  Speaker 7: and I got to be in the first deck every
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: single year.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Here. I'm so angry about that right now.

  Speaker 7: You're an athlete, that's what you get.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: That's our sports. Yeah, they're actually the products.

• 27:57
  Speaker 7: team and the opener.
• 27:59
  Speaker 11: First off congresss the Louisville They're a great team, They're experience,
• 28:02
  Speaker 11: they're well coached, and I thought that showed tonight. And
• 28:05
  Speaker 11: what I talked to my team about just now in
• 28:07
  Speaker 11: the lock locker room is I'm simultaneously sad, I'm competitive,
• 28:10
  Speaker 11: I want to win, but I'm encouraged with what the
• 28:12
  Speaker 11: potential of this team is. And we've talked the entire
• 28:14
  Speaker 11: time that it's a race to the end of the season.
• 28:16
  Speaker 11: It's not the beginning that we had seventeen weeks. Now
• 28:19
  Speaker 11: we have fourteen weeks to improve for the NCAA tournament
• 28:21
  Speaker 11: to make a run similar to what we did last year.
• 28:23
  Speaker 11: So it was a good first step and in terms
• 28:25
  Speaker 11: of the things that we talked about doing before the
• 28:27
  Speaker 11: match and the team that we wanted to be, I
• 28:29

  Speaker 11: Obviously disappointed that we lost, but sm Music great team,
• 28:47
  Speaker 11: so congratulations to them on a hard fought win. And
• 28:51
  Speaker 11: I think one of the things we just talked about
• 28:52
  Speaker 11: is we got to make sure that we learned lessons
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: quickly within this and throughout the season. We talked a
• 28:57
  Speaker 11: little bit about those within this match, but happy with
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: the progress our team's making and we're really excited to

• 29:12
  Speaker 11: I don't know, statements is at this spot where it's exploding.
• 29:15
  Speaker 11: And we have a lot of eld athletes that are
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: spread across a lot of universities, and I think you're
• 29:19
  Speaker 11: going to see that throughout the year of different teams
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: at different times of the year having peaks and valleys,
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: and you're going to see I don't know, these matches

• 29:31
  Speaker 11: across the board, and again, I think that's good for
• 29:32
  Speaker 11: the game. I think the more that we can get that,
• 29:34
  Speaker 11: the more that we get quality matches on TV, the
• 29:36
  Speaker 11: better for the sports. So I think it's a lot

• 37:37
  Speaker 6: or six years, and people's people forget things really quick.
