  Speaker 3: know it's as bad as it were. You have a
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: feeling when it's not going well. Yeah, but then I
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: just stopped feeling.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: He even texted me it's a bad weekend.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: It's a bad weekend.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So this is pre that Bears game over the weekend
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: n CAA football, I lost four nine and Ney dollars.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Oh it's a gud punch. So you know
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: that sucked? What was me to say?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I was like, I get a question, question, I got
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to get back into this. Yeah, you tell the wife
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: about that? Oh yes, she knows I'm super No. No, no,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: when you have a bad weekend, you say like, yeah,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I had a rough week.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I machine care.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: She knows this.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: There's one thing that I'm going to do. It's be
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: responsible with freaking money. Okay, you're labeling this as responsible. Yeah,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: it's like if you were losing a quarter.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: And you say that, dude, and I when I drive home,
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: I'm like, god, oh I thought I made good money.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I think it's all relative, right, yeah, all relative? So no, no,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: that's not I also see if I'm starting to be like, oh,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: like I stopped playing poker because I was getting too obsessed.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: So no, And I told her I was like, any
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: of the Bears to win about five thoultard dollars on it.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: She was like, are they any good? I was like, no,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: watch you bet them? Why are we watching this game?
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: So okay.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: So I was down basically five four hundred and thirty
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: five dollars going into that game. So I bet five
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars on the Bears plus three, which is a
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: whack you bet, which is crazy because the Bears just suck.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and Dobbs has been on a roll. He's been
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: on Okay, I would say a role he had.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: I mean they blew the last game before that game,
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: he had a big entrance.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Oh non't need to playbook.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: So all that press makes you say so he played
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: pretty good a role, though, I don't know if I
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: put it on that. So this is what's up I go.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I say on the show, it's give me my last bet.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: If I lose of the year, it's about over anyway.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I really which I didn't believe you when you said that.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I really enjoyed betting college football way more than a NFL.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I don't bet as much NFL I do some I
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: feel like I'm not near as good as betting the NFL,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: or at least feeling like I'm as knowledgeable about what's happening. Please,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, let's just give it a run, and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: if it's over, it's over. I bet five thousand dollars
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: on the Bears plus three to win four thousand, nine
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: hundred and thirty seven dollars something like. That game starts
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: justin Fields is on fire. To start the game. They
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: drive down the field, He's like six for six, he's
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: making plays, he's sliding. It is perfect for the dumpoom
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: stalled phild goal on the first drive.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: If they missed, I think whatever it was, it didn't
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: feel that good because I felt like they were driving
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: all the way down.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Well, then it just turns into a dog crap of
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: a game where nobody's doing anything.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I was betting punts. Were you making them on eighty Nope?
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I think we got more turnovers than punts. Really, so
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling pretty good.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: At one point in the game, when it's like nine
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to three, maybe so the Bears are up, maybe six
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to three, six to three. The point spreads messing on
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: my mind.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: The Bears are up, and if the Viking kick a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: field goal, I mean I'm I don't remember. I just
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: remember or they fumbled twice and almost cried.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: They were up nine to three and driving when you texted.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Me, okay, is that what it was?
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: And they had plus three because they had and then
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: they kicked a field goal regardless if the Vikings would
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: have scored again, it had been over for me.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Correct, And Justin Field's fumbled twice to try to give
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it to them. Yeah, back to back, and my butt
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: was puckered, but I never cashed out. I kept sending
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Eddie from way early on, I was like, cash out,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: And what.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Did I say? Every time? Yes? You know the answer
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: is every time, yes, But.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: I hit it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: And so right now as it stands, I'm not down
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: near as much. I've total wager this year seventy nine
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars and I'm down about one thousand bucks.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: It's pretty good, man. That's entertaining right there.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, much time I spent watching games because I'm
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: like dialed in because of the one hundred bucks I bet.
• 5:50

  Speaker 2: some little pops online what ARKANSA I'll talk to Bobby
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Petrino as the offensive coordinator. Now, Bobby Petrino wasn't loved
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: by the people he was close to there, but I'm
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: not close to him.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Who cares, Right, you're just a fan. It's like an
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: artist who says good songs. Sure, you're not asking, you're
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: not on the road, you're not his roading. You know,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: he's not throwing whiskey at me. He's not throwing his guitar.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Good songs.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: That's all right, like win games. So the legend has
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: it and the internet that's the legend. And he was fired.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: So some of the stuff's going to be a little
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: little muddley.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: There was this woman there. He's having an affair with
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: her at Arkansas.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: He hires her to do a job, but he was
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: already apparently having the fair, allegedly having the affair before
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: he hired her. He also gave her a gift of
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: like twenty thousand dollars, like a cash for a car.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Who got it.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: She was also engaged to, like one of the volleyball
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: coaches at the University of Arkansas. So he's doing his
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: deal whatever that deal is not gonna judge, yeah, a little.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Bit, I will, but.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: It ends up getting found out where he got into
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: real trouble. Wasn't the affair coach that a fares all
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: the time. Sometimes you hear about it. Sometimes they get
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: pushed under. But he was paying somebody he hired, somebody
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: he was having sex with.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Oh he can't do that. There's a word for that. Yeah, yes,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: So the word is bad. It's one of them.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: So they have to fire him. Now what's happening before
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: that is he's out on a motorcycle. Remember the press
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: conference where he comes in a neck brace and his
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: face is all eat up.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'll never forget that.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: So they fire him.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: He still does the press conference, but he comes in
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: and he's like road rash on his face, neck brace.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: He's like, uh, apparently wreck the motorcycle. Had to call
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the cops. The cops came, she was with him, had
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: to put her in the report. Nothing they could do.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: That's how it was found out. He wrecks the motorcycle.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: He's eat up, he's in a neck brace. I'm sad,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and this is what you call rock bottom.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: It's tough. So myth has it.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: On the internet.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: It says unconfirmed allegedly big terms there.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Maybe the motorcycle accident didn't happen it was staged m hm.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Or maybe it wasn't near as bad and possibly the
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: fiance beat the crab out of them. Oh, they never
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: find the motorcycle like they did. The rumor is allegedly
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: possibly that that could have happened. Okay, they ended up
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: quitting the day after he was fired. It's a whole
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: dramatic deal. But I'm so happy he's back. He's learned.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, people can be rehabilitated.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: How does the community feel though the artwork?
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: We just want to win. We don't care win games.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I don't care if you graduated freaking player, don't graduate.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: A player, pay them all crimes, keep him wonder.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I just want to win, like I don't even care.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: If we win a title, you have to take the
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: banner down in five years.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: I know you're being funny, like, no, no, only partially
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: partially being funny, But this is these are conversations that
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: real programs.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go, do we really care?
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Guys?
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: So what's interesting is, you know, he leaves Arkansas for
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: a while and does some coach and stuff. He goes
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: up to Missouri State almost beats us. He comes into
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Arkansas a couple of years and almost beat us, goes
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: over to He's gonna be the UNLV offensive coordinator. But
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: before that job even starts, Jimbo Fisher hires him at
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Texas A and M. The issue of Texas A and
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: M is and their offense was a little better, but
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Jimbo Fisher's an offensive guy and really was just the
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: offensive coordinator wasn't one to play caller. So as much
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: as their offense improved a little bit, obviously, Jim Boke
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: still got fired, but he wasn't really able to run
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the offense.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know Bob petrainos an offensive coordinator, only knowe
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: was a head coach and he's doing some shady stuff too.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Back in the day, who was it exactly? He was
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: at it covering it up. Come on, But it's so
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: exciting to me. Who hires him? Like, who does the hiring?
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: You're a check and the big deal he's an eighty.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: The big deal was he got fired for cause, and
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: then you can't rehire somebody when you fired them for
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: cause and they had to like overrule a law or something.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: It's awesome because we needn't we don't. We want to win.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: What about the kJ Jefferson stuff, because I'm about that.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I literally just I've been in meetings for like
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the past two hours. I saw nothing about him doing anything.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: kJ jeffersons our quarterback. I'm not even open Twitter. Can
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: you tell me what the deal is?
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: So what I'm seeing is there are reports that he's
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: expected to leave to transfer portal enter the transfer portal.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: Oh now he posted I just saw like an hour
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: ago or so on his Instagram. I haven't made a
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: decision yet.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Well, Arkansas's got a new nil called Arkansas Edge now
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: that they're bringing in. That's like four more million bucks
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: a year. Cool, So that's what's going to make the difference.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Can they pay more? What he makes a really good living? Now, yeah,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: he does good.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: And then some people are saying it's because they're bringing
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: in Patrino, But I don't know about all that.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: kJ Jefferson's not really Petrino's type of quarterback. But kJ
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Jefferson's a good quarterback, and that's Petrino's type of quarterback.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: kJ Jefferson is one of those guys that does a
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: lot of multi checks at the line, but he's extremely
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: athletics bright guy, but he's not up there trying to
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: dissect a defense with his mind. He's up there figure
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: how to run through them or how to get the
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: ball to somebody quickly.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: If he stays, great, If he leaves, I won't like that.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: But I won't be that upset because I'm just now
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: going to trust this process. And by the way, this process,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: it's one year. If they don't win next year, everybody's
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: gone from up there and everybody knows that it's awesome.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: I can't wait. I'm excited again. I went from being
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: like this sucks, life sucks. Eight football, Let's go time machine.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I did message by Petrino, who I DMed him. Yeah,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and here's the thing, I don't know him because I
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: only started to have a little bit of a presence
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: within the program in the past, like seven or eight
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: years when I started A having a bit more notoriety
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: and b having a bit more money, because I would
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: just be like, I got money, let me donate it. I
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: want to be part of it. And so I never
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: knew him. I never met him. And I went on
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Twitter because I tagged him in something. I was like, all, hell,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Bobby Petrino National Championship next year, partially kidding but not really.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: And I saw he followed me on Twitter right after
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: you posted that. No, I went to I went, yeah,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: but he didn't follow me after that. I actually, as
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: soon as I posted, I went over to his pag
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: real quick. I said, he follows you. Oh so he
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: must have. I mean he could have been following you
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: for a while. Then. Oh yeah, I'm assuming he was. Wow,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: but I don't think he posts a lot. So I
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: messaged him thirteen hours ago. It's sent but not seen yet.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: I guess he's probably got a lot of DMF you
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: go through.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, but I mean, but not from you. Am
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I a jockstrap sniffer? Because I messaed him immediately, I
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: was like glad to see you back, coach, Chip me anything.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe in town in a few weeks if you're around,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: here's my cel phone number. What do you think he
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: needs a friend from me? Understanding support? Okay, I can't wait,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I can It's crazy. It's like if Bill Belichick was
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: gonna go be offensive corner for somebody.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: To you, that's what he is. He is that big Tom.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: He's our greatest coach. He's a great coach in my lifetime. Again,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: we had ten and two eleven to one seasons with him.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: We were in the national top five, top seven.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: It was crazy.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the only reason it stopped is because he.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Had road rational his face neck brace. Hey whatever, he
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: does his own time. Jain hurting.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Kids are dogs, have at it, buddy, Wait you on that.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: So I am as long as we're winning. I am
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: excited anyway. So those are two updates I wanted to
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: get on here today. Pretty good is there? We'll do
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: another show coming out later in the week. Is there
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: anything you guys would like to say?
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Kevin?
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: This transfer portal is wild season hasn't even fully ended yet,
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: and Wilder and these players are just like Will Howard
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: from k State. He's leaving our team.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: So here's another thing that's happening too with the portal.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Obviously, there's a lot of poaching where people are calling
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: going hey, we'd love to have you, or they're going
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: through people. But there's also like a dark money in
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: IL that's happening, which is you can pay anybody anything
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: to do anything. Oh you to sign doing this. Here
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: have twenty five thousand dollars doing this. Oh you're gonna
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: stay at the program. Okay, our collective will pay you
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: a million dolls whatever it is. But now the dark
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: money in ils are Okay, we're gonn give a twenty fifty
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars deal, but only one twenty five is gonna
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: be taxable that they know about. The other one twenty
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: five will be cash because these players are having to
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: deal with taxes.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: They're like partially dark money in IL.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: It's like going on a game show man, like, yeah,
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: it's cool you win a car, but then you got
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: to pay on that.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: It just makes me wonder, like how long these players
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: have been bruined this during the season?
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Oh did I be brewing at every game?
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: That's crazy to me that you're able to play with
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: your team and be committed to your team quote unquote,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: and you enter the portal three days of it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: It's a business decision, that's all. Yeah. But there are
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: also kids though, like how responsible are they? Exactly? That's awesome, right,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I'll be thinking of money all the time, sure, especially
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: if you're a kid that comes from no money. I
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: mean when I was doing my last contract here, it
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: was on my mind every day for like seven months
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: and we just got wrapped up like a month and
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: a half ago. Every day because there was I was
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: just thinking about or somebody was, or I was having
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: a conversation with or.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: As every day.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Now, imagine if you're nineteen and other people are charping
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: at you too. Does it take the pressure off of
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: like draft and your next move you know where? Like
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: back in the day, you know, yeah, you made some
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: money under the table or whatever, but I mean your
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: big money was getting drafted in the NFL and playing
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. Here you're like, oh, I can make
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: some good money now because I might not get drafted.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: It keeps people in college a bit longer if they're
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: making equal or more than they would if they were
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: a six seventh round pick or USFA Yeah, UFS a
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: unrestricted free agent Unris Yeah.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: Oh I thought we're talking about usfl Ors.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: No, they talk about Steve Austin.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yes, my letters man, I've been right, so yes,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: and not only that, like a guy like k J.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Jeffers would probably have gone out for the draft and
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: been a fifth round pick and made eight hundred thousand
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: bucks a year, which is a great amount of money.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: However, he could probably make a million three.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: That one percent of players can probably make a million
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: a million three if they go a quarterback, especially.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: And potentially build his draft stock and bed do.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: That as well.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Right, yes, so And what's cool though, too, on the
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: positive side of it is that I think a lot
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: of these scouts, like well have John midlecough fine later
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: in the week, who was an NFL scout, has his
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: own show now he had to go in just kind
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: of assume what players would do once they got rich, Like, Okay,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: this is what they're like. They're gonna first second round picks.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Oh god, are they gonna go crazy when they get money. Now,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: they're getting money already and you can kind of see
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: the decisions are making already.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Without real help.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: So I think that's good for the next level because
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: you're not gonna have a lot of guys going in
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: the first second round that are paid millions of dollars
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: and all of sudden they're.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna go crazy.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: That's cool.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: It's like going to college after your homeschooled.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: You kind of wouldn't know your homeschool forever, but now
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: you're gonna go away and go to college and go
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: You're gonna go, yes, now I'm in college. Say you
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: go to college. I'll say you go to homeschool for
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: up to grade ten, but eleven twelfth grade, you're like,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to a private or public school if
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: you around other kids, and that's a little bit of
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: an integration to understand what it's going to be like
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: when you go off.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: So I love it.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: I watched that new Beckham that series. I just watched
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: one episode, but just talking about this, he talks about
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: how when he was younger, his first like major deal,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: he would get the paid on Friday and it was
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: all spent by Sunday, which is wild. So his kids
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: are probably doing the same thing he was nineteen or
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: eighteen time.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: For sure, it'd be awesome, O can he not?
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I wish it I'd been an athlete now instead of
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: back then, because back then, at make any money, you
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: would have been more.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Now. Have you all watched the Barry documentary on? Have
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: you watched that?
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: I watched it last weekend?
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, what is it? It's about Barry Sanders. No,
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: And I think it's always a Netflix or Hulu.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: I believe.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: I keep seeing it, you know, pop up when I
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: sliding on shows or whatever, and I'm like, oh, I
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: want to watch that, but my wife doesn't want to
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: watch that with me, so I got to get my
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: own time.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: To do that.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, toulu, it's why you haven't seen it. I have not.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: It's why he retired early, like he finally talks about it.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Because the Lions are like a disaster.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to get into spoilers.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: Kevin.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: We have a new episode of Too Much Access up
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: with the BYU volleyball team. I'm surprised. I'm surprised at
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: how passionate people are for this one. It's a little different.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's it's more passionate. Obviously there
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: aren't as many volleyball fans as football fans just a
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: numbers game, but maybe they're volleyball fans are just so
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: so much more passionate. Yeah, but it's crazy people like
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: you gotta do this cool. It's like we did volleyball
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: because it was kind of funny and we were there.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: But also Heather ol Instead, like I don't often say this.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: But she's like a g oh, yeah, she's awesome. Like
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: I was ready to.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Suit up and sit the bench. Yeah, and I don't
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: want to sit the bench, right, but just to be
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: under her leadership. So it's our sit down with BYU
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: women's head volleyball coach Heather Instead. She played it coach
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: as you wanted to call her. Yeah, I don't want
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: to call her Heather. She like everybody calls me Heather.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I can't do that. I must respect you.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: She played at Utah State from ninety eight two thousand
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: and one. Was on the US professional team two thousand
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: and two two thousand and three. The tournament's this week,

• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you look it up and the brackets
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: look the exact same.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: But I mean, did they take the week off and
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: they go again.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Then they go again in the following weekend?
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: I believe, So well, let's go. I'm rooting for him.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, you got Arkansas in there too, are you there?
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: A three seeds? Are you torn at all?
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: My arcants are always but they're on the same side,
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: I don't think. I think they're on different sides. So
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: hopefully maybe they meet each other at the end.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: They're on different sides.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when does Arkansas play?
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: They play Friday at seven o'clock Ard time.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Who are they playing? Uh, Steemen at Boston? I think, right, yeah, yeah,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: really you're torn?
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: No, No, I went to same Housion State Seemen at
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: Boston with my That was Oh, so.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: You're a big razorback guys.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dude. That was the Battle of the Pines. Man
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Battle of the Pines. That's why I looked like that
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: was like eminem and Marshall matters.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: They changed their name.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: It was like, wrong with you, guys? All right, here's
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: coach Heather Almstad.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Before you walked in, Coach Eddie and I were talking
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: and we were debating on what to call you, because
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I said, no, we have to call her coach, and
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: then Eddie said, no, why don't we just call her
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: by our first name?
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: Her name's Heather. I'm like, let's just call her Heather.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Hear you, but it's a well she called right, Okay,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I hear you, but Heather. But I feel like you're
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: doing a job that is very respectful. You're also a
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: very successful person at that job that I said, hey,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: let's call our coach coach imps at at first, and
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: then if she's like, no, call me Heather, then I
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: probably still won't, but at least we know.
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I hear you. I got players that are the
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: same way.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: And does some of your players call you Heather?
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: All my players call me Heather. But there's some players
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: that call me coach, especially younger players that are recruiting,
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: and some of it's culturally in their culture. It's respectful,
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: So I'd let it fly because if that's what they're
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: comfortable with calling me coach, then it's kind of endearing.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: So is that purposeful for the culture that you have
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: with your team?
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: I started coaching at twenty three, and so everyone called
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: me Heather. I was an assistant coach all the way
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: up till twenty fifteen here at BYU, So it felt
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: weird all of a sudden in twenty fifteen to say no, no, no,
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: call me coach all of us, because you know, when
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: you're an assistant, it's and I was young. I was
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: almost their same age, so I'm okay with Heather.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: And so since you were here and it stayed, the
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: name had to stay. I hate the name Bobby Bones.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: And because it's not my real name, and so what
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: do we call names Bobby? Well, no coach Bobby, but
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: my name's Bobby. But when I was seventeen or eighteen,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: they were like, your name's Bobby Bones, and everywhere I
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: went was connected to the last place I could shake
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: it because everybody knew it.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: So, uh, yeah, I'm gonna call you coach because I
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: think that what you really want.
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: But he also coach. He also can't call his father
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: in law dad, or I've.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: Never called him a name. He says, hey, it never
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: because I didn't know what to call him. Do I
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: say Bill? Do I say Pops? Do I say I
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: don't know? So I just decided warely on I was
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: calling him nothing.
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: I make eye contact him and speak and I've been
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: married for a couple of years now, okay, and never
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: one time. Now it's a running joke. I've never said
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: his name. So question one, is that bizarre?
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: I think you might have some issues.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: I think I do too. That is correct, We all do.
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: So it's okay.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Is there like a text thread of all the really
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: elite coaches? Do you guys like like Saban's on there?
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: I'm very close have a family member Patty Gasso's family
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: to me, she'd run the softball coach at Oklahoma. You
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I put you in this category because you guys are
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: the elite of the elite. So what do you guys
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: talk about in this text thread that you're going to say?
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: You don't you don't have?
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: I mean, that would be worth a lot of money
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: if we could get that going. There is no text thread,
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: but if there were, I'd love to be on it.
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: I'd love to just learn and listen and soak up
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: all I could, So basically I have to go stock
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: Saban on Twitter and on YouTube and steal all his
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: quotes and then repeat it to my team, and I
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: usually give them credit.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Though our coach is pretty receptive to you going hey,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I'd like to come in and understand the culture of it.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Doesn't matter what program it is, but if you ask,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: if you're to reach out to, you going to start
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: any absolutely.
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: So I spent a week with Danny Ainge just recently
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: back in February, and he immediately offered up jazz practices
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: and meetings. I haven't taken them up on it. I
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: will in the off season for us. Things like that
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: happen all the time. Coaches in different sports are open
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: to letting their gyms or courts whatever be open to
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: other coaches learning. So, especially in volleyball, I think it's
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: a good culture of hey, I want to come learn.
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: Is there a good time and people open up their gyms.
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: It's incredible and we're open as well. People that I
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: talk to know if they want to come learn, and
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: I can help. Mentoring has always been something that's interested
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: me since a young age. My dad was a coach
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: and so I've been drawn to mentors older coaches, people
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: much wiser than me. Has always been an interest and
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: as I unfortunately get older and the kids stay the
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: same age at the mentorship for me to be mentors
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: to my players or other coaches in the community has
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: been exciting for me.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Has your dad been a big part of mentoring you
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: or at least introducing you to other people that he.
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: Absolutely really Yeah, the legend Kathy Gregory at UCSB, A
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: Carl McGowan who who's here at BYU and his son Chris.
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: My dad has been an integral part. Karch Karai, who
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: he coached in high school at Santa Barbara High. Of
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: all sorts of mentors from all different areas of the
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: game that have been really influential and what I've done
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: as a coach and here at BYU.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: If you were to get on the court now, because
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: obviously you were on the US professional team too, but
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: if you got on and let's say, put on a
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: wig and you're like, hey, this is our new player, Cindy,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: would you dominate today?
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: No, I hate to lose, so I think I would.
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: I would hold my own I don't know if I'd dominate,
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: but I would. I would fire up everyone else on
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: the court to play better so they wouldn't notice how
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: bad I was. They would all rise up and I
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: would just try not to stick out.
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: What were you like as What were like as a player?
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: That's feisty?
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: Were you the goon to go fight the other team?
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: Like?
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: What were you?
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: I'd have to ask my teammates that. But I just
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: grew up in a competitive family. There's six girls, one boy,
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: win sister. We always had each other to play with
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: and to compete with. We grew up playing sand volleyball,
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: So I love the competition aspect of anything that you're
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: doing and trying to be the very best you can
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: while learning as much as you can. So I was feisty.
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: I was probably I've probably gotten some players faces. I
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: tried to keep it on our own side, but I
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: I just wanted our group to be the best we
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: could be, and whoever you were playing, it really didn't matter.
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: I love the underdog role, and I think that suits
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: us at BYU We're I think in general our sporting
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: teams are underdogs, and for sure our our volleyball team.
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: I don't know if other people feel that way.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: Out of the communities, you guys dominated, So I can't.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: I can't.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: As you got into underdog, I was like, that's just
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: not true. You've been in the top, you've been ranked
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: for like a one hundred million week in a row.
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: Now we're we're we got this new path that we're
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: trying to blaze and so we we can. We got
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: to find our way through the Big twelve as a
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: you know, a university and no.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Still don't really know it's not convinced, say sorry, but
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: you have a you have a real culture winning. You
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: were the first coach to hit the hundred division want
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: you're it. You're her when it comes to coaching. So
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: the underdocting doesn't really float anymore.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: All right, So how do you do this?
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Because it equally is hard to keep a team motivated
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: that's winning and to continue winning because you can obviously,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: as they say, rest on your laurels at times, How
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: do you keep your girls fired up?
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: Gosh, that is such a good question. I think it's
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: that intrinsic motivation that we want to recruit in players.
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: They come to BAU to be high performing academically, spiritually, athletically, personally, socially.
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: That's the type of young women that we get in
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: our program and our staff is as well, So that's
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: already going to be intrinsically in them, and we, as
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: you're saying, just need to continue to find areas to
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: challenge them, for them to be challenged where they can
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: get better in this this or that or hey, you're
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: doing really well in this area. Let's keep We want
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: them to play to their strengths. We don't want them
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: to always look at what they're not doing well. So,
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: this is what your strengths are, you know. It's like
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: all the greatest in any aspect, they know what their
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: strengths are Lebron Tom Brady, Michael Sortan, and then they
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: still on their weaknesses on the side, but they're not
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: obsessed with those because they are who they are because
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: of their strengths. And that's what we want our team
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: to recognize and to get excited about those and then
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: dabble in some of their weaknesses in their spare time.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I have mid knowledge of alleyball. I could say I
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: know more, okay than somebody average. And it's like they
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: hit the ball okay, Like I know what Albert is.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: Okay, what is that?
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: It's they wear a different jersey?
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: Why because they're the one that goes in and digs
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: it out of the ground.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, and so there is a dig I heard of
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: that that's not the same, but that's like their job
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: to play defense kind of.
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, libero and Italian means free, so they're at free beer. Libero, libero, libero,
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: I say libero. I call them bros because it's a
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: little tougher, like you're bro, let's go dig some balls.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: And so it's their job.
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: They come in and out of the game freely, and
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: they don't cost us a substitution, so nobody's they're tracking them.
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: But you only get fifteen subs, so when someone comes
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: in and out of the match, you track it as
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: a sub. They go in and out like just mad women,
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: just like and nobody counts them. They can just go
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: in and out as much as they want.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: Can they stand wherever they want.
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: They can't go to the front row, and they can't
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: jump and spike it.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: So does that mean libertos are shorter.
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: It typically means their expertise is going to be in
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: passing and defending, and so that leads to smaller players
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: that are quicker that can read the game just somewhat naturally.
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: It happens as they progress, as they start to specialize
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: in positions. But it doesn't mean you can't have a
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: five nine, five ten, five to eleven libero. And in fact,
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: if they're long and they have length, we all would
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: want six foot liberros because you can extend more. Volleyball
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: is a game that's extended. Whether you set or spike
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: or you dig, your limbs are being extended. Very rarely
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: is the ball going to come right to you. It's like, oh,
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: here it is, You've got to play extended. So we
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: would like them to be taller, but the taller players
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: end up going into hitting or setting or blocking, and
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: you end up getting smaller liberros.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: What's the position that's the real bulldog, the libero? Yeah,
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: for sure, it seems like it.
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: They're they're feisty, they have to be loud, they have
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: to communicate well. They're usually the key cornerstone to your
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: defense and your passing, and that can really set up
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: your defense as far as hey, we're going to serve
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: and we're going to defend behind you, and our block
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: is going to be up there. I think setters are
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: also some bulldogs. They're like the quarterback. You know football.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: I do know football and I know volleyball a little bit.
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: So when you say, so, what position would you be?
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: I would probably I'd be the killer, the killer outside.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: You can't jump.
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: You can't have like one hundred kills a game. I
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: just love that they call it kills.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: You can't jump, Sure, I can, I can jump. How
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: tall is that net?
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: Seven four?
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: I can't?
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but I'm sorry the men's net is even higher.
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: But yeah, we just we are here, that's right, women's volleyball,
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: women's How do.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: You market this team?
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: And now would imagine every team is different to just
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: the student body into the community to come and watch
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: and support.
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: Cougar Nation is unbelievable. I mean we've had back to
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: back over three thousand. You know, we're playing these back
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: to back matches right now. A couple of times where
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: I think just our our players, the excitement, the way
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: that they play the game. You know, winning always breeds
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: interest in the community coming out. But our women are
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: just people of caliber that will go out and interact
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: with the players, with the young young girls, with whatever
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: people interested in volleyball. And I think BYU does a
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: great job just getting get people excited about what By's
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: doing heading into the Big twelve and the opportunities we
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: have to be We're already in the nation, you know,
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: on bau TV was great, but now we're on ESPN
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: Plus and we're getting out there with football and I
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: think it's good. So I think volleyball is an exciting sport.
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: I don't know if you saw one of the most
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: recent volleyball games on Sunday, had like one point six
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: million people watching it, you know, between Nebraska and Minnesota,
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: and that's legit.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the Nebraska the football stadium with even that was unreal.
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: And I watched that tooty two thousand plus.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: So cool, and it's cool for them, but it's also
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: cool for the sport absolutely, because one that was one
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: of the head stories just period of all sports a day.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: It's like, look at uh, you know in Lincoln, Nebraska.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: They're showing up for the volleyball team, which they do anyway.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: They've a you know, they're very passionate about the team,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: and they did the walk. It was just anytime you
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: can get anything in front of a bunch of eyeballs, yep,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: like that's a win. And so and I had a
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: buddy who played the show afterward, like the music part
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: of it. Any when you do big events here, like
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: what what's the goal here? You get to do something special?
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Do you play only here where you get out and
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: you know on top of the mountain.
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: Oh, that'd be good.
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Well we I hope in the snow ennis choose.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: And tennis racket choose though that they walk up in.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: I think that's a good question. I think my players
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: asked after they saw the football, and I think basketball
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: did an exhibition too after that, iowa, maybe if we're
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: going to play in the Marriott Center where men's basketball.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: We were like, no, we like guys.
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: We just love the coziness of the Smithfield House, and
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: we love the fans filling it up. And I think
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: the bigger you get if you could guarantee me that
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: we could fill it up. Sure, And it's not that
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: I'm afraid of that, it's just the Smithfield House brings
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: such a special, unique feeling to the community and to
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: our team. I told them no, but I think they
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: got mad because I think they think I didn't have
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: belief that we could fill it up, and I think
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: we could.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: Isn't the Smithfield That's pretty big though.
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: It's five thousand plus.
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: Isn't that that's pretty big?
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: I isn't that for a volleyball deva?
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: What if we could get ten?
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: No?
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: No, no, I hear you, Yeah no, I was just
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: looking at pictures of it. It looks bigger than other
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: schools that I've seen. They're volume.
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: It just depends on where you're looking. The Midwest has
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: got great crowds going right now. So just volleyball is
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: growing as a sport. It's it's popular, and we're getting
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: some professional leagues, a couple popping up, which is important
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: in case. Yeah, we're getting we have athletes in limited
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: and we have some other professional organizations. I think they'll
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: be two and twenty four, which is huge for our
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: players to know they can finish their careers and they
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: can stay in states. I don't have to go overseas
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: to go play.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: I had friends that as soon as they finished playing,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: they had to go to every European country. Yeah, European countries.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what existed? Was that volleyball bluelighty not?
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so you do know volleyball? Yeah, little bit?
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not I thought you were switching sports on me.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: But I yea, yeah, I'm kind of an idiot, but
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: I I like that we have we have a.
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: Couple of players playing. Heather Nighting's playing in Turkey, Alexa
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: Gray's playing in Turkey. Ronnie Jones Perry is playing in Brazil,
• 36:28
  Speaker 8: so we have some BAU players playing for him.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: When you finished, did you play overseas?
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: I played in Croatia? I loved it?
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: What was that like?
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: Amazing? No? It was it was amazing. I lived in Rieka,
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: which is on the coast. It's and I'm a beach
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: girl from Santa Barbara, so I'm drawn to the beach
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: and just outdoor.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: And that's why I love Utah. So Croatia was amazing.
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: I've been back many times.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: I love it. I thought she was gonna say that
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: why I love you, and then she said, are you Croatian? Really? No,
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: I just thought she could join the interviews, like, that's
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: why I love you?
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: I ta, did you start playing beach volleyball?
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: I grew up on yeah, playing sand. My dad took
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: us to the beaches and we played on East Beach
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: where all great legends that grew up. And that's my
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: first love is sand. And had to play indoor, and
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: but I love indoor.
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: What was the transition from sand to court.
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: Well, it wasn't really a transition. You grew up playing both,
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: so it never felt like a transition. But I like
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: sand because I like to be in control of the
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: game and it's two people and you get to touch
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: the ball way more so I love just owning it
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: and being able to just really develop all your skills passing, setting, hitting.
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: And then you get on a court of six and
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: the ball like hard that comes to you. You're like
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: and then you're a libero and nobody serves you. So
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: it's the point of the libarro. They avoid the libarro.
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: So next time you watch a game, so how many
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: times the libero actually passes the ball, It's like, what
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: are we doing? They're not even serving them.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: What would you credit as the key to your winning culture?
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: You're a specific Yeah, are players one hundred percent?
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're giving. But the players aren't playing. They
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: are no, no, no, you let you out me finish.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: The players aren't playing until one you decide they can play.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: And that's based on a couple of things. Their abilities,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: how hard they work, their attitudes, and that's instilled to
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: them by you. Yeah, so what is it fundamentally what's
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: important to you? And you would credit just the winning too.
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you know, you got to have the horses.
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: And so we like to identify players that can come
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: play at a high level, that are high performing. So
• 38:23
  Speaker 8: we want them to be high performing individuals mentally, physically, emotionally.
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: What do you want to accomplish because this is not
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: easy to play Division one volleyball anywhere in the country,
• 38:33
  Speaker 8: let alone at BYU where the expectations are high, the
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: standards are high. We have standards that we believe you
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: should show up every day with them. We're going to
• 38:41
  Speaker 8: hold you to them. So I think holding people to
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: those standards, showing them the blueprint, this is what we
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: can accomplish. And I mean my brother hired me in
• 38:48
  Speaker 8: two thousand and eleven. He was the head coach. He's
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: now the men's head coach. Yeah, your brother was yeah, yeah,
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: he hired me here in twenty eleven and then he
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: became the men's head coach and twoy and fifteen and
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: I became the women's head coach. But I believed in
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: the vision of the players and athletes that we were
• 39:05
  Speaker 8: getting and being able to win a national championship. And
• 39:07
  Speaker 8: in three years twenty fourteen, we got to the finals
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: and we played in the national championships and lost. And
• 39:12
  Speaker 8: then four years later in eighteen, we went to another
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: final four. So we're due for another final four. So
• 39:16
  Speaker 8: that's what we're working towards. But I think you know,
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: the players, my staff, the administration, everyone working towards, you know,
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: just being the best you can be, whether that national
• 39:25
  Speaker 8: championship comes or not. We're excited about the journey of
• 39:28
  Speaker 8: becoming and what our young women could become through hardships, adversities,
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: highs and lows, winning, losing. It's about what are they
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: going to become after this and are they going to
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: be CEOs, business owners, mothers? You know, what are you
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: going to do with your life? And how can we
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: help you be really good at that? And oh, by
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: the way, let's get really good at volleyball while you're here.
• 39:48
  Speaker 8: And they've been able to do that.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: How tall are you?
• 39:51
  Speaker 8: Five nine?
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: How tall is your brother? He's six to one, so
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: years aren't huge.
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: No, he was a libero here. He won two national
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: championships with BYU.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: But why are you the better coach?
• 40:02
  Speaker 8: Oh? No, he's really good.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: I've been looking at some stuff we know you coach. Yeah,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: we've been looking at young one hundred wins quicker than anybody. Yeah,
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: pull one over on us.
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah it was.
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: It was two hundred. So you keep miss missaying No.
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: I stopped reading notes, Okay, I quit.
• 40:17
  Speaker 8: I'm just kidding you. He you went to the finals
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: and fourteen and I haven't got there yet, so you know,
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: and he's got a couple of national championships, so he's
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: he's for sure the better coach, better athlete.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, debatable. So you ever been hitting the face hard? Yeah?
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Many times, so hard the nose where your eyes are
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: all watery? And do you check yourself out or is
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: that embarrassing? Like because listen, if I got hit and
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: I was playing ball, even even baseball, I got hit,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: I was like nothing, I'm gonna walk first, but it's
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: out of be like.
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, please get me out of here.
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: Do you act like nothing happened?
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: I would be like that didn't hurt?
• 40:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's it hurts if you take it
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: off the nose directly, it's your eyes You're not gonna
• 40:53
  Speaker 8: be able to see because it just just your whole
• 40:55
  Speaker 8: face feels swollen and hurts. If it's off the side,
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: you can manage it much better like them. Good does
• 41:00
  Speaker 8: it black your eyes the nose, Yeah, you get a
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: little bit just you can't see because your eyes are
• 41:05
  Speaker 8: watering because it hurts. But if it gets you somewhere else,
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: you can usually move on from that. But uh, you know,
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: we're a lot more aware of the what it does
• 41:13
  Speaker 8: to you to get hit in the face. Point blank.
• 41:15
  Speaker 8: It's it's it hurts, and our players can hit pretty hard,
• 41:18
  Speaker 8: so you know, we try to we try to make
• 41:21
  Speaker 8: sure everyone's okay.
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't like that, and we.
• 41:24
  Speaker 8: Actually don't like that. Yeah, we we we want our
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: players to we treat we train them to apologize to
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: our opponents. I think it's you know, it's something that
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: when you're younger, maybe you think is cool if you
• 41:33
  Speaker 8: six pack someone, But as you get older and you
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: watch the professional leagues, they'll they'll put their hand up
• 41:37
  Speaker 8: and say sorry, right a ray away from the crossing it.
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: And I think that's something that we could bring to
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: our level. You know, in college, the respect and knowing
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: that no one's trying to intentionally hurt anybody, but you
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: know that that that doesn't feel good.
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: But let's say your mouth in a little bit, I'd
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: be like, sorry, stuffing.
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: It's hard to aim, like there's a lot of things happening,
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: the balls moving from someone's passing platform to a set
• 42:00
  Speaker 8: to the air when you're jumping. So to think that
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: you can aim at someone, maybe you're really good.
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: But I was you're that good.
• 42:08
  Speaker 8: It's just usually doesn't happen that way.
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: No, I'm gonna lead athlete whenever, and I don't know
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: the name of it and do it like one person
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: jumps and they fake it.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the third person is that like a play.
• 42:22
  Speaker 8: Or that's a great question. I like your questions because
• 42:25
  Speaker 8: they're there. I don't ever think of them because they're
• 42:27
  Speaker 8: so basic.
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: Oh boy, oh boy, that's not all they're like super good.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: What's the word elementary?
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: Yea, so good. That's volleyball for dumbies. And I'm asking
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: the questions. Okay, go ahead.
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: No, I actually like that because our setter does call plays.
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: You'll see them hold their jersey and they call a
• 42:43
  Speaker 8: play with their hands, and so if the gym's loud,
• 42:45
  Speaker 8: it's like football, we have hand signals, and you don't
• 42:47
  Speaker 8: want the other team to know what you're running. And
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: so we have set plays and the players know what set,
• 42:53
  Speaker 8: what they're gonna play, run, and so everyone has to
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: jump as if they're getting set. And then that way
• 42:58
  Speaker 8: you hold the blockers on the opponent team. Does that
• 43:00
  Speaker 8: make sense because they if you didn't approach and act
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: like you were, then they would the blockers would move
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: to where the person was actually getting set. So everybody
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: has to jump and fake it. But now it's like,
• 43:09
  Speaker 8: I'm like getting better ideas with like what you guys
• 43:12
  Speaker 8: are giving me some coaching ideas, Yeah, how to.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Throw off defenses well, and so if they got to
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: fake it, but it's only meant for that one, but they.
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: Don't know that they're not getting set. Everyone thinks they're
• 43:23
  Speaker 8: getting the ball. Everyone expects to get the ball. She
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: doesn't show on your seat, she doesn't show. She shows
• 43:29
  Speaker 8: everyone what they're going to hit, but she doesn't tell
• 43:31
  Speaker 8: them who she's gonna set. So everyone thinks they're getting
• 43:34
  Speaker 8: the ball. So everyone's on high alert. And then once
• 43:37
  Speaker 8: she reads the other team and what's going on and
• 43:39
  Speaker 8: gets a feel for our pass. For instance, if we
• 43:42
  Speaker 8: pass it way off the net, it's only going to
• 43:44
  Speaker 8: go to one person because you can't set someone in
• 43:46
  Speaker 8: the middle of the court. It needs to be a
• 43:48
  Speaker 8: really good pass. Does that make sense?
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: It does make sense.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: It makes me think though, that if I were an
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: NFL wide receiver and this happens a little bit now
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: and they're.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: Like, give me the ball.
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: I need the ball. Does that ever happen? Where?
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all the time?
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: Like why am I not getting the ball all the time?
• 43:59
  Speaker 5: And then how do you manage that? Yeah?
• 44:01
  Speaker 8: You talk about game plans and what we're trying to do.
• 44:05
  Speaker 8: Are we wanting to overload, are we wanting to exploit
• 44:08
  Speaker 8: a certain blocker. We want to look at our matchups like, hey,
• 44:10
  Speaker 8: we want to feed this person because of this matchup.
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: I mean, there are matchups with the other teams, and
• 44:15
  Speaker 8: so you talk to your team about what we're trying
• 44:17
  Speaker 8: to do. And then it comes down usually to your
• 44:20
  Speaker 8: ball control. Where how good are you handling the ball,
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: passing defense. If your ball control is really good, you're
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: going to have a lot of options.
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: All right, Final four questions four four? Okay, that's a
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: random number.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: We paid just four, and we just commit to it.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: If you deflate a volleyball a little bit, or you
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: inflate volleyball a little bit.
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: Does that help? Are their rules to stop an advantage? Yeah,
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: you're good hitting it.
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: Though, right, yes, good question. The refs, I don't know what.
• 44:50
  Speaker 8: The refs check the pressure before every match, so so yeah,
• 44:53
  Speaker 8: the PSI, the refs have a little pump and they
• 44:55
  Speaker 8: check it. So you have to play it illegal. It's
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: on the ball what illegal is. But we do go
• 45:00
  Speaker 8: to schools. We'll practice a day before and all their
• 45:05
  Speaker 8: balls are flat. It's wild. We're like, are you really
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: practicing with flat balls? So we bring around pump me,
• 45:10
  Speaker 8: pump them up. So the next day their balls are
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: over pumped.
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: Got them.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: What's the advantage if you both get to use the
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: same ball or do you change balls based on whose
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: serve it is?
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: I think there's some advantage.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: You looked at question basic of all the questions, because
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: again with different sports, there is so you know.
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: There's a lot about altitude sea level. We don't talk
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: about that. We just serve the ball, figure out how
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: to get it to float in the court. But we're
• 45:41
  Speaker 8: not going to spend too much time with you're at
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: sea level, you're at altitude, the balls flatter, it's deflated, like,
• 45:48
  Speaker 8: just figure it out get a feel for it. But
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: we like when we train for the balls to be
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: at the PSI that they're supposed to because that's what
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: you're going to play at in a game. So there's
• 45:56
  Speaker 8: really no reason that you're going to play I don't
• 45:58
  Speaker 8: know why teams like to play with flat balls. Like,
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: that's a good question.
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: It hurts your ar, it hurts your artic I mean,
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: like the idiot, I got a good question.
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a good question. It's a very good question, coach.
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: So let's talk about travel. So when I travel with
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: my wife, I have to tell her all the time
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: we're going for one day. We don't need five pairs
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: of shoes, Like, we don't need what's the travel like
• 46:21
  Speaker 6: with the girls, Like is it you have to be
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: like guys, guys, No, you don't need extra bags, like
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: we don't have enough room.
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: In the bus.
• 46:26
  Speaker 8: No, they are so good with travel. They literally bring
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: the exact amount of practice sweats, matches, like you see,
• 46:34
  Speaker 8: no extra packing they because they have to carry their bags.
• 46:37
  Speaker 7: Oh that's exat I should make my wife do that.
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: It's a good idea.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Dudes on the football team do the same thing. Like,
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: you don't have to being nineteen pair of organs. Yeah,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: you know, I think it's just college kids more than anything.
• 46:46
  Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, no, you you don't see that. With our team,
• 46:49
  Speaker 8: they pack their school books in their bags and so
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: they get a little heavy too, and so they're pretty
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: good at packing. We haven't had any problems with that.
• 46:56
  Speaker 8: I mean sometimes they maybe forget something that's on the
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: opposite end.
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: You have everything, no exactly, so go home.
• 47:06
  Speaker 8: It's the problem.
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: Well, that's your fault.
• 47:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we usually have to go buy it. And the
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: jerseys is the biggest thing. We have some extra jerseys.
• 47:12
  Speaker 8: You have blood jersey in case someone gets blood, so
• 47:14
  Speaker 8: you have those. But we try to double check our packing.
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: But no, we do not have an over packing issue
• 47:19
  Speaker 8: with our team. I think it's just the basic what
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: do you need to practice match sweats, get comfy and
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: travel to and from and they look good. They got
• 47:29
  Speaker 8: some swag, they look good.
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: Final two questions. I say that every time, just so
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: you know where we are.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Well. Also, we're a big fan of your head of
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: communications here, and he keeps looking at his.
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: Phone, so I feel like he's like, you got to go. Yeah,
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: that's what we feel like.
• 47:42
  Speaker 8: No, he's off the whole day for you know, he
• 47:44
  Speaker 8: manages the whole shit. Yeah, I thought you were coming
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: to practice.
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: We are, we are, we're going where Unless you're planning
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: on hitting at us and we're not.
• 47:51
  Speaker 8: We could get you out there.
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: You're not going to six pack us? Are you? Coach?
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: Is that what it's called?
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: That's what she said?
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: What is that?
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: Why would be a six pack? If it's one in
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: the face?
• 47:59
  Speaker 8: Actually, good question, like if you'd hit another basic question.
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: See it's so educational.
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: That's a real quick.
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: It's a good question.
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: You're not an answer.
• 48:09
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna have to google it.
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: Oh you don't know, so you just say it without
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: That's why I said it's a good question. All right,
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: I'm googling right here on this. That's do you know
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: what it is?
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: Because there's six panels like on the.
• 48:23
  Speaker 8: You're making you're making me look silly.
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: Now, so I don't know, let's say six making.
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: Maybe I made it. Maybe maybe I made it up.
• 48:31
  Speaker 8: Maybe it's maybe it's because people took it off their
• 48:34
  Speaker 8: six pack on their stomach and.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: It's like I thought, I was like, don't hit me
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: my six pack? Okay, six pack in volleyball? What's the
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: defensive player goes up for an attack block and gets
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: a six pack smashed into her face and she can't
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: make a clean block.
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: Okay, we already knew that, But what's the root of it?
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: I need like the Latin order six.
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: Okay, examples on how I'm and I've lost interest of
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: what I meant. But okay, so here we are. What's
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: the goal macro micro micro this season, macro next five years? Yeah?
• 49:08
  Speaker 8: I think always to become the best we can be.
• 49:10
  Speaker 8: How good can this group be? We have seven matches left.
• 49:13
  Speaker 8: How good can we be that we know of? And
• 49:15
  Speaker 8: then we get to play in the postseason. Let's see
• 49:17
  Speaker 8: how good this group can be. With the seniors that
• 49:20
  Speaker 8: are never going to play again, we try to pump
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: them up, motivate them that way. We have some fifth years,
• 49:24
  Speaker 8: we have some COVID kids that are having opportunities to
• 49:26
  Speaker 8: play longer. I'm motivating them by let's see how good
• 49:29
  Speaker 8: we can become. Let's see if we can win, you know, championships.
• 49:33
  Speaker 8: What does that look like, conference national? What does that
• 49:35
  Speaker 8: look like in the journey to become that? I think
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: long term, you know, we want to get Bay's first
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: women's national championship. We're still searching for a women head
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: coach to win it. I think it's going to happen
• 49:45
  Speaker 8: in the next five years for sure. If it's no
• 49:48
  Speaker 8: women coaches won a national championship, and if it's there's
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: so many great women coaches out there, like of course,
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: we want to. We want to be one of the
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: schools in contention. I could name five right now that
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: are in contention, you know, with women coaches, and it's
• 50:00
  Speaker 8: going to happen in the next five years. So that's important.
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: I think it's important to see women coaching and for
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: our women to see women in the sport that they
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: can get into coaching if they want that, they can
• 50:10
  Speaker 8: you know, be great role models for other players if
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: you love the sport and you want to continue in it.
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: So just continuing to bring in the best young women
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: here to go off into the world and contribute to
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: society and be great examples of of b y U
• 50:25
