It helps to come home with stuff and and and bigley coined the
3:31

Good job. Whoo.
3:44

3:48
but today, you're nice people was getting out the way.
3:53
You know, people try to tell us, we should get first class
3:55
upgrades. I was like, listen I'm here for
3:57
that. If you can make that happen, I
4:00
mean he'll I'll trade the trophy for that.
4:05
Governor. How are you today sir tonight?
4:08
Well Thank you Lamar for, you know, giving me the those
4:14
flashbacks to those really, really tough decisions that I
4:18
had to make, you know, I'm getting ready to catch a shuttle
4:22
to the airport as 4 a.m. in the morning.
4:25
And I'm looking at my carry-on or this big gigantic trophy.
4:31
I got to take my clothes back. Thank you.
4:34
Thank you for bringing all that back.
4:36
And you know, the amount of housekeepers and And and and
4:40
those folks that just went home with all these trophies and yeah
4:45
now that was me you can thank me later, I love it, I love it.
4:53
Well we will get tonight's show started with them some pretty
4:58
crazy things and it's been topic of conversations here and there
5:01
in the round but World Athletics has said out there ranking
5:07
qualifications and standards for T23 and that in itself, has sent
5:12
some people into a tissie because it's interesting, but
5:19
I'll let someone take the mic and start the dive.
5:24
I mean, shall I read it? Sure.
5:28
The context is always good. Okay, so depending on what
5:33
version of this you have you may have come to refer to this issue
5:39
as page for At the bottom of page 4, it says conditions for
5:47
the validity of performances. all performances must be
5:53
achieved during competitions organized or authorized by World
5:58
Athletics, its area associations for its National federations and
6:05
conducted come formatively with World Athletics rules and for
6:14
which starting January 1, 2023 and application has been
6:19
submitted in advance So, what that means is, what that means
6:28
is, I'll take a current example that we all understand Joseph
6:34
Campbell a ran for the University of Florida, this past
6:38
year, for most of the Season. He ran 10 0 here and 19 at the,
6:46
at the NCAA championships and none of those performances.
6:50
According to this, Would count to get him into Worlds.
6:56
So, unless after the NCAA championships happen, he left
7:02
the country found a me and duplicated said, performances of
7:10
10 flat or 20 point 16, he would have essentially been locked out
7:15
of Worlds, where he finished fourth.
7:20
My is that correct sir? Yes for and I picked him
7:23
specifically because he's not an American meaning.
7:28
He doesn't represent America on the world stage because if
7:32
you're an American, you can qualify to go to USA's, and go
7:37
to USA's, and be top three, and make the team.
7:41
But if your qualifying on ranking or standard, And you're
7:46
in college, not representing, Team USA, you're probably
7:51
screwed on this and that is patently ridiculous.
7:58
Fili. where'd you hear that same situation because they basically
8:06
have without Without saying those actual words, right?
8:14
The only meat really and truly meets really and truly, they
8:18
targeted are the NCAA American track and field system, right?
8:23
Because every every other meat around the world is organized by
8:30
a national governing body because we're the only ones that
8:33
have the Collegiate system. This is true.
8:39
Now the trump card would be hilarious is if and trust me, I
8:44
know what I'm about to say is never going to happen but this
8:47
could actually be easily and I mean easily taken care of if the
8:52
NCAA and usatf who share a city, there are three bought the
8:59
headquarters of each or three blocks from each other.
9:02
If they had a simple conversation and said hey I got
9:04
an idea. Let's file the paperwork.
9:06
Work such that all NCAA meets categorically are set Arco
9:10
sanctioned by usatf and NCAA and run by usatf material.
9:15
NCAA rules. Concurrently Well, now you're
9:19
asking for, you know, for three tell the truth.
9:23
Great. So just think about what what
9:25
what I just said, took, what? I don't know. 12 seconds.
9:30
And that will solve the problem. Because I mean, we don't run
9:35
into your belay meets any differently than than usatf
9:39
sanction Meats. Just not sanctioned by them.
9:44
Correct. But there is a, I don't know
9:48
what percentage of the world of that world but there is a swath
9:54
of protract people who want nothing more than the locked up
10:00
Allegiance out. Anyway, mmm.
10:03
Well there I mean look, they're going to get it.
10:06
Like, this is quite good. Can you qualify that statement,
10:11
please? Who are these said, people that
10:14
want to love the collegians out. You never heard these
10:18
conversations going on clearly I haven't or I would be asking I
10:22
mean so we've debated them on this show.
10:24
For example there there is a I don't know of any I have never
10:30
heard of been a party to any conversation.
10:32
I've heard the rents of Ray. Yeah Ray hard raise rents about
10:42
the Collegian should be able to do this and this and this I
10:45
don't know of. I never had a conversation with
10:49
anybody in power. Let's say that is talked about
10:54
locking the collegians out because when you sit in the room
10:58
with the folks that use a track and field, they are very clear
11:03
and understand that without the collegians our teams are not
11:08
nearly as good. North strong, not nearly as
11:11
good, then, then I'm certain That the powers that be will be
11:18
on the phone to Gainesville as of Friday afternoon, 5:00 p.m.
11:26
here when they hear you cosign them that way and take up mr.
11:33
Bag, secured idea here because that is the most direct and
11:37
quick fix to it. As I look, it's the simplest
11:40
fix. I've heard, I've had actual
11:42
conversations with professional coaches.
11:46
And professional athletes who believe that the Collision
11:50
should be locked out. And those results from these.
11:54
I'm gonna guarantee their people that don't have people making
12:00
teams, is there a of called it. But then, you know, I mean, you
12:04
know what, I don't care who they are.
12:06
Shame on them. Yeah.
12:08
Same one. Whoever they are shame on them
12:11
because those you, you know, how this it is, this sport is built
12:14
on competition. Absolutely competition.
12:18
And if you're going to complain that I I find it hard to believe
12:22
that it's any metal producing. Coach is having these
12:26
conversations and if they are shame 10, well, I'll take it one
12:30
step further. What about the large swath of
12:35
international kids that are in NCAA system?
12:40
Those are the ones I'm concerned about, right?
12:42
Whoo-hoo in their minds. This is the best transition for
12:48
them. Right is right?
12:51
And so it's also. So let me let me speak to this
12:54
because this this is what I read into the whole nonsense, right?
12:57
If you're an American Collegiate and you're good enough to make
13:00
the team, what you do at the USA championships is going to have
13:04
you qualify any, hmm? Yes, right.
13:07
So, right, right? So they're so this whole.
13:09
So here's the thing. So it doesn't matter.
13:12
You could go to the Mount sac, relays and run 10 flat with a
13:18
point. A 2.0, when it's really for
13:21
point of we won't discuss that. But anyway, so you could do
13:25
that, but it doesn't matter because you still have to go to
13:27
the sanction meat, which is used to track and field to qualify.
13:31
So this doesn't hurt standard because you can't use
14:07
any of your Collegiate marks as a qualifying standard for World
14:09
Championships. So now what you're saying is you
14:12
have to hit the qualifying standard at the US championships
14:16
that that's fair, but what I'm not being funny currently like
14:22
we just have worlds, right? Within our field events didn't
14:27
have like Kool-Aid that of apply to this year.
14:30
From our field events men's and women's long jump.
14:35
We just start there. Sure.
14:37
And I guess it's also why has until the Philippines get your
14:43
shit together. Tell me a joke for 2004 when it
14:46
go, because hold on a second because it's no different than
14:49
the fact that if you're a sprinter, if you're a distance
14:52
Runner, you have to show up and run the standard at the meat.
14:56
So it's no more, there's no more.
14:58
There's no disadvantage or a bigger disadvantage for the
15:01
field of interest and then for the sprinters, but wait a
15:03
minute. Do you guys feel fantastic?
15:49
But no one else. Well, I don't know what?
15:51
What did Jack get a Jasmine jump at at USA's cuz I obviously I
15:55
don't, I don't remember off the top of my head.
15:57
If you are, if you are narrowing things down to find that, that,
16:03
that cross-section really, we are talking about is that kid,
16:09
that either can't get back home for their national championships
16:12
a week after ncaa's or don't have national championships.
16:18
Soooo. Well that's why I threw the
16:19
jello fumble a example. So those those are the ones that
16:23
I mean, where are they going? Let's be realistic.
16:27
Joe would have been fine. Hmm, I'm fine the 23rd disease.
16:32
It was 2013. It's okay Joe.
16:35
So yeah, exactly. So trust me there's a sanction
16:44
because it doesn't have to be the national championships.
16:46
We're not, we're not suggesting that he couldn't.
16:49
All I'm saying, is that his job before the NCAA championships
16:55
ended. His job was representing
16:57
University of Florida running in that program doing the NCAA
17:01
paint and he clearly qualified for Needs prior to the ncaa's.
17:07
And then terms put a stamp on it at ncaa's, all of that will be
17:11
wiped off the books. And then either after ncaa's,
17:15
he'd have to go find me or would have had to leave town to set up
17:19
a meet prior to, and I think that's obtrusive and ridiculous
17:24
for someone like that. Now, what are the reasons?
17:30
What what has World Athletics said to the NCAA as?
17:34
As to why the NCAA championships aren't given the respect it
17:38
deserves? Yes, because as anyone gotten is
17:43
it. The drug testing, is it?
17:45
The the blocks with sensors? Is it?
17:48
What, what is it? You know what?
17:50
The drug testing would actually be an interesting excuse.
17:54
Hmm, but I highly doubt that. I mean, I've never heard of an
17:58
explanation game. I don't get it either.
18:01
I think it's just because as Lamar likes to say, they're not
18:05
in the club, but at the same time, the NCAA meat is ranked in
18:10
the top five in the world. Yes.
18:12
Well by right? But by legitimate rankings.
18:16
Not by there's crazy. Not by the end of the day.
18:22
So this is where there needs to be a conversation between the
18:26
powers that be. I think you need to see a and
18:29
the That was the usatf the powers of be in the powers that
18:35
be to sit down and just get them inside.
18:37
You just really a truly good because he could, because it is
18:40
point the all the conference meets.
18:43
All the premium Meats in the NCAA championships.
18:45
Need to be sanctioned by usatf agreed.
18:48
Absolutely. But I just want to say this for
18:50
the record, the USA Track & Field.
18:56
Championships were not sanctioned in the combined
19:00
events because they didn't turn in the paperwork.
19:03
Wow. Like like this is not a
19:04
difficult concept, y'all, but trust me balls have been
19:07
dropped. Multiple times.
19:10
Hmm. How about this?
19:12
One Mount Sac was all the was on the world athletic store, right?
19:19
Gold. But once they turn into the
19:20
Golden Gate? Yeah, but the combined events
19:22
were not because only what was on the television package was
19:26
was sanctioned Like I can't make this stuff up, right?
19:33
And literally, what we're talking about is paperwork,
19:35
y'all like this, like I couldn't agree with you more so lucious.
19:39
I said it first, this could be handled in a conversation
19:43
between two organizations. That are three blocks from each
19:45
other. I know, I'm, and I'm nominate
19:48
duty to fix this responsibility and get it done.
19:59
Because he had to jump through these hoops to get a TTL series
20:01
sanction. That's right.
20:04
Lead my guy. Go into the forest, please.
20:10
Was there anything else that stood out?
20:13
I mean that's been the hot button topic.
20:20
You know was relatively standard practice that when we talked
20:25
about the ridiculous level of what the qualifier standards
20:28
are. What.
20:29
But I'll give them credit for this.
20:30
That's not veiled, right? I mean that is obvious.
20:35
We need to make the standards high enough that the rankings
20:39
matter, Right, right? Like I mean, if you, if you
20:43
don't make the standard super high in the rankings will be
20:46
trash because there will be 24, 28, 32 people that hit the
20:50
standard and then we don't have faith in the rankings of trash.
20:53
Like, I mean, just for the audience really quick, like just
20:57
to give you an example in the combined events on the men's
21:00
side, the combined event standard is 8460, that is the
21:04
70th best Mark in the history of the decathlon.
21:09
Hmm. It's 70. 68 or something like
21:16
that. On the women's side.
21:18
And they have to have on 6480. So so they made the standards
21:26
historically High. Right?
21:29
There are eight guys in the world that have the standard.
21:33
So, like if you just extrapolated that outright the
21:35
eighth, fastest guy in 100 would be like, 90 the eighth fastest
21:39
guy in the 200, would for sure be be nineteen eight or so,
21:43
right? So, like the whole point was to
21:46
make the standards, really, really hard, so that the
21:50
rankings has teeth. So I get that, like, I'm not
21:53
even mad at World Athletics for that because at least that was
21:57
not veiled, right? They didn't hide that on page 4.
22:05
Wow. See how that gets put together
22:09
packaged and the bow that goes on that will be interesting.
22:13
Do the paperwork people do? The paperwork would be 0 so the
22:25
more rules and regulations that were set forth, the ncaa's that
22:31
down and put out a nice little email to all the clients who
22:36
then gave us all lecturers email, Zoom calls regarding
22:40
transfers and it's quite interesting.
22:47
We also yes, yes. Well. so, I was speaking just, I
22:57
mean, just from my track and field perspective, if you are an
23:02
NCAA cross country athlete, you basically have three windows In
23:10
which to transfer the window right after the NCAA cross
23:15
chart, cross championships. The window right after the
23:20
indoor championships and in the window right?
23:23
After the outdoor championships, if you are track and field
23:29
athlete, just basically indoor and outdoor.
23:32
You have those two windows 6? 60 days?
23:36
Am I correct? Absolutely.
23:37
So yeah, 60 days. And then the only exceptions is,
23:45
if your coach leaves He's right, it coach.
23:51
Let's be clear. Yes, your head coach leaves and
23:53
then there's always the waiver, you know.
23:56
Yeah. Kids parents, you know, fall in
24:00
hard times, I got to go back home file, a waiver, you know,
24:04
we can you can get, you can get that done.
24:07
What is really interesting about this?
24:12
This new transfer rule is the fact that A for, for transfer,
24:19
and they specifically said for for transfer, whoever takes that
24:26
transfer kid, on whatever money, they put them on that kid stays
24:32
on that money until either. They exhaust their eligibility.
24:40
Or if they, you know, if they decide to move on or whatever
24:45
you are still on the hook. For that kid.
24:49
Okay. And so immediately, you know,
24:53
the question started coming. So what if they violate a rule,
24:57
what if they, you know what? If you know, they do something
25:01
conduct detrimental to the team. You had any idea, what if you
25:04
kick him off the team? And the answer that I got was
25:08
that you are still on the hook that kid is still going to be on
25:12
your books. And I mean that that is I think
25:19
what it's going to do is that it's going to change the way
25:24
that schools operate in respect to the transfer portal.
25:28
They are going to be much more careful.
25:34
You're going to be much more is not strictly about numbers now,
25:37
right? You are literally going to do
25:39
your homework. On any prospect that is coming
25:44
into your into your program. The map should you should have
25:48
been doing in the first place. Absolutely so.
25:51
So let me know when you're done, but I do know I'm finished, I'm,
25:54
you can go ahead. So, so thing is remember the
25:59
thing with the cross-country athlete.
26:01
They get the three Windows if they have all three seasons,
26:04
right? If you only have cross country
26:05
than yours, you only got the one window.
26:07
If you only have either one the other one window.
26:09
So the three Windows only applied to the party.
26:11
That has all three secret. See, I disagree with you.
26:19
This has been going on forever and people will continue.
26:24
I've always said, of course, all this is a guy that has a million
26:26
transferred right now. Alright.
26:27
So I've always said in believe that taking on transfers is,
26:33
like, buying a new used car. You're taking on somebody else's
26:36
problem. Absolutely.
26:37
So in fact that they have to now pay for The person I don't think
26:43
they're going changing because that the bottom line people want
26:46
to win and people think we all do.
26:50
Oh, that was their problem there, I can handle that.
26:53
It won't happen here. So it may make you shy away from
26:58
the person. That's well, maybe they can help
27:02
me. You might shy away from that
27:04
person, but if it's a big dog, they're going to take him.
27:09
And they're going to find a way to make it work because I was
27:11
all this is this rule is for, is for the coach out there and this
27:17
was happening, they were taking a transfer and then the transfer
27:22
didn't work out there. Making them go away.
27:23
Mmm, right. So now they make them go away.
27:26
And now when they this just just athle knots go to another school
27:31
and sit. Yeah.
27:33
Right. Because did because of the
27:35
fourth floor for down that's why it's specifically the for
27:38
Fortran. Ava.
27:39
Right. So that's what this is all
27:40
about. I disagree, I think when the tin
27:44
flag kid that supposedly had issues on the campus everybody
27:49
still recruiting them going to because the only thing I can fix
27:52
it, allow me to be and I will say Clyde, I'm waiting to hear
27:59
what you have to say and I think I mean what's we're Solutions is
28:04
coming from is one planet, it's a planet.
28:08
Right first was that purse world?
28:11
Yeah, exactly. Almost disagree.
28:15
See, because it's not about be having to be in a first world
28:17
problem. Because if you'll allow me to be
28:19
Betty, I don't have to take those first.
28:22
I can go get the guys. Okay, I'm okay.
28:24
See if you want. We just have to suffer the
28:56
consequences of these rules as they are done.
28:59
So the facts all world when all the money is the same anyway,
29:03
you're either all-in scholarship or you ain't it's really not
29:07
that big of a deal that you say. Can take the 44 guy.
29:10
You gotta eat it. No matter what, because it's all
29:12
the same dollars, right? Let's see that nonsense trickles
29:15
down to US Olympic sports, where all the dollars ain't the same.
29:20
And now you have to make even more strategic decisions.
29:24
Now where this becomes a petty first world issue for the likes
29:29
of portal King, sitting in the throne anyway, Or don't care,
29:40
that's your new kings and queens we all want
29:56
that. Not all of us are able, you are
29:59
able and so now you will get to be able and those close to the
30:05
throne will get to be able to enter just a different little
30:08
way. Now, you can go into the portal
30:12
and strategic about, you know what, though?
30:15
1000 might need this 20% because it don't work out.
30:19
I'm not paying, I'm not paying the 100.
30:21
And you know what? They'll still come to you.
30:23
They will not stop. Oh yes, we note in.
30:27
Oh, Come here for 20. You want me to be a bit bag
30:31
secured? There's never been a 10 Flats
30:35
printed account for 20% this topic but it hasn't been a 10
30:39
Flats printer no. But there has been a 2510 long
30:42
jumper, who was a 10 3 squared? Our who came for 20%.
30:47
Okay, all I know is that the man's talking about ten flat so
30:50
you know, okay I see we just get high.
31:01
Yes, and now, okay, we're C. So you so I cannot and will not
31:08
speak to other people like it, I can speak for this campus.
31:13
I am not going to sit down Down and less than an offer for that
31:18
we because they might have history or issues.
31:22
It's either they're worth what they're worth, or they're not.
31:24
And if they're not worth, if that's AI, don't want to take
31:26
the chance on the answers going to be without off from it all.
31:29
And we actually believe that you are now.
31:31
Say, I believe that, hence, that is absolutely true.
31:35
Hey, that's why I said it was petty and cynical are so right.
31:39
But that ain't everybody. Here's a set right here.
31:42
Here's a scenario. And this was another question
31:45
that was put forward athlete. A goes to University, be right?
31:52
The transfer, the period comes up, he jumps in the portal right
32:01
now. The question is, can you treat
32:04
that kid like you would a normal kid?
32:06
And the answer is no. That you cannot mess with that
32:10
kids money. If he go, he jumps in the
32:13
portal, right? Used to be able to don't think
32:16
you can't anymore. Yeah.
32:18
So so again You know, and again, I think we're talking about a
32:23
very small subsection of athletes in our sport that have
32:31
chosen, you know, that choose to manipulate the system, the
32:34
choose to, you know, just didn't I think to a little bit deeper
32:41
into that part of it can't mess with their money for that year
32:46
that year. That's what I'm saying.
32:47
Yeah. That you have a like.
32:48
So and I think if they go on the portal and you And I told her
32:51
that we jumped into the world today.
32:53
Yes, you can't mess their money for the rest of this academic
32:56
year, absence. After this Academic Year is
32:58
done, then you can take their scholarship.
33:00
Yeah, yeah. Where they're in there are
33:01
non-renewable roller for you could take it on the day.
33:04
You can I can I ask a question. So have they eliminated the
33:08
meteor tree ever? Yes, they have.
33:11
Now they have it. No no they have not.
33:15
So I could say that's got to be another window so forth and that
33:19
eliminated are some specificity that we overlooked.
33:23
So the fall and spring sports are actually 45 days.
33:26
It's just winter that 60 fall Sports.
33:30
Have a window of May 1st through the 15th winter sports, just had
33:35
the 60 days spring Sports have December 1st through the 15th as
33:41
well. Exactly.
33:42
So there's your mid-year. Where's your mood?
33:44
Yeah. Because that's because I was
33:47
confused. I was like, okay, but the irony
33:51
of the mid-year window read, December 1 through 15 So just
33:57
think about that for a second. So who it affects his basketball
34:02
or not, they cannot or place to start an agency.
34:07
Right. Right.
34:08
But here's the trickle down to US, December 1 through 15.
34:13
So you're telling me that on the back, end of big part of this
34:17
new rule is if I bet on mr. Hopkins.
34:20
And I realize that I'm wrong. I can't go correct it.
34:24
I'll just got to eat it but I I have a total of fourteen days to
34:27
figure it out. Mmm, yep.
34:29
Portal days, portal days, portal things, right?
34:33
Heaven forbid, he jumps on there.
34:34
You know, three days left. I need to figure it out right
34:37
now and I'm going to add this to the equation.
34:41
The NCAA has rules a dead period rule.
34:45
Right? So Kid X is now knocking on your
34:50
door. Hey, I'm ready to come.
34:53
You can't bring him on a visit. You can't, you know, that
34:57
because that's the say they get in a little late and that
35:00
coincides with the NCAA period, the Dead period.
35:04
You're literally taking this kid blindly can bring him on a
35:08
visit. You can't all you're doing is
35:10
talking to them on the phone, right?
35:13
Yeah. And you're making a decision so
35:16
99% of the people out there are taking the kid based on
35:23
performance. Yes.
35:26
Like we talked, we talked a lot about, you know, and like Lamar
35:29
and I have beaten this horse to death over the last 30 years,
35:32
you know, the average of the top five performances that you could
35:34
have a kid that ran, you know, 10 20 or 10 15.
35:41
I make a little bit more appealing and with a 2.0 win, it
35:45
might sometimes within 15, what a 3.0.
35:48
The rest of the performances are 10:30 something which might be
35:52
windy as well, but all they see is the 10:1, mmm.
35:55
And you're gonna To recruit that sit at meat off the 10 one and
35:57
when they get there, they can't break 10:30.
35:59
Now that's why I went on. Back in the fourth exam, you
36:02
don't do their homework, do your homework?
36:04
Yeah, that's what it boiled down to really?
36:07
Yeah, and have conviction about your homework, right?
36:10
Like look, if you really need a sprinter and you see a young
36:14
lady, that's got an 11 22 and it's windy.
36:18
And then, the next six marks are 1160. 11:58 like what else
36:23
looking at the 11 to what else is it anomaly?
36:27
It didn't happen. I've been I've been saying this
36:32
I literally said this this week to recruit and their family and
36:37
they always get mad but I'm sorry as it is.
36:41
You are the what your average says you are.
36:45
Yeah not your lifetime best. Yeah, we run bunch of races.
36:52
I need to know what I'm usually going to be looking at.
36:54
Yes hmm the norm sorry listen solution has made.
36:59
He made reference to this literally about 30 years ago, we
37:05
had this conversation and we decided that if we really want
37:09
to know somebody is Take their number one, Mark toss it in the
37:12
trash can take two to eleven average it, that's where you
37:15
going to get every day on your campus, that meanness and it and
37:20
I don't care what you kid. I don't care how great a family,
37:23
I don't care how broken a home that like the scenarios don't
37:27
matter because the standard deviation is covered in numbers.
37:34
Two through 11 and it's the thing you have to do and this is
37:40
My deal. You have to be able to use your
37:43
eyes. You have to sit down and look at
37:46
them. And look at the training age and
37:48
look at the training system. And where's that going to lead
37:51
you? You know because you know Lamar
37:53
knows this about me but I've got if I find a kid an athlete, I
37:57
should say another chili, kid, an athlete that is running
38:00
1040s, four or five times and it's run some 21:34 five times
38:05
and they have a certain length to them.
38:07
I am camping out at their door. Door.
38:11
And if that's a math leaders, from a cold-weather spot trust
38:14
him, believe he will give them the bag because every one of
38:19
those. Hey, you know who that is?
38:21
That's Joseph Family. Exactly.
38:25
Yes. So here's something I was going
38:29
to say, don't overlook the fact that this is applicable to
38:33
graduate and undergraduate student athletes.
38:36
So here's where I think this is interesting.
38:40
Less our compliance people because they gave us a grid.
38:43
So we could follow this for indoor track and field, which is
38:47
considered a winter sport there. They get the 60-day application
38:51
for the date days to be in the portal.
38:54
So, Her graduate students, right?
38:57
Where they only have an indoor and outdoor whatever the
39:00
situation might be. They have to be in the portal
39:02
before. Make sure I say this right on
39:06
March 1st through April 29th and then door shut.
39:14
So they're going to be some people in those situations
39:17
they've given left out but you know, there's always the waiver
39:19
process. So yeah, exactly what away were
39:21
you and if we're going to be honest, the NCAA way.
39:25
The process has become about a 98 to 99%.
39:30
See, here's the thing regulations.
39:33
Here's the thing. Also, I don't think that there's
39:35
been a plethora of athletes out there that just had an indoor
39:39
just have outdoor know. There's not a lot of those folks
39:43
that did exist. Oh so, so that's why I don't
39:46
think when people started kind of panicking about the
39:48
scenarios, you know they're panicking for no reason and in
39:51
let's be let's be clear. Also, the athletes are going to
39:55
figure this out. Yes, their parents are going to
39:57
figure this out. Other Kids are going to figure
40:00
this out and have their a please whispering to this athlete.
40:03
If you think you want to do this, you better get in there
40:05
before. So yeah, that's gonna be the
40:07
biggest thing is this like, you know, because people always as
40:10
they seem to forget just like they have serious recency bias.
40:13
Like in a year, we will be having no more effects of
40:17
covid-19 extra years. Exactly right.
40:21
So any year we go back to normalcy, right, where, you
40:25
know, you got five years to make four.
40:29
Not seven years to make for, actually it effects.
40:34
Like many for the 24th at 24 25 year.
40:39
That's the last year. Yeah so you got this year and
40:43
two more, right? Yeah, twenty two twenty three,
40:46
twenty three, twenty four, twenty four, twenty five.
40:49
So you got this year and two more where it's effective and it
40:51
happy that we're not most. But most of those last two years
40:56
have washed themselves out by then, you know I'm saying like
41:00
but the reason the reason the first year the second well yeah,
41:03
I sure do. Right now I sure hope your
41:05
wrongs. I got a bunch of them on my
41:06
page, they wash out my beak. I might be moving moving to Fort
41:11
Worth sleeping on your couch, but you were just like it's like
41:25
Christmas, right? You get to keep your best
41:28
athletes for an extra year for no.
41:31
Real reason like that. Nothing.
41:33
They hurt nothing. Wrong with them.
41:35
They just get to be here another year.
41:37
Yeah, I'll take that right? But what the what you're talking
41:41
about like I agree with you that that 24 25 year, right?
41:45
But most of them. You didn't even know what you
41:49
had when you have when they had covid, you know what I'm saying?
41:52
Like that's why I'm saying, a lot of them are going to wash
41:54
themselves out track and field wise, buy that shit.
41:57
Let's see. What do you don't you
41:58
understand? What you're speaking to is the
42:00
typical fifth-year senior, yes, we're gonna go back to shows so
42:04
that's my best, my point. I don't think they've watched
42:06
anybody out. I mean, those are, you see,
42:07
those are the apples that you brought in that.
42:09
You basically you were given a free registry.
42:11
Yes, that's what you give it. So, I personally, I'm excited
42:15
about mine, the washout. Because because of the, you
42:22
know, the injury rules and anti double-a and covid.
42:25
I had a baseball player that had three freshman years Mmm, that
42:31
happened. Yeah, he was a and and because
42:34
of Life situation, he had a brain tumor eighth grade.
42:38
So we end up having to repeat the eighth grade.
42:40
He was literally a 22 turning 23 year, old freshman crazy.
42:48
Yeah, I know there's a lot of 23 year-old seniors on people's
42:50
campuses right now. I mean, he got, drafted last
42:55
year, they like well, this year and this year's draft, he had
42:58
three years of Eligibility left. Yeah.
43:03
Wow well happy. Happy signings moving forward,
43:12
the NFL. the NFL, I mean, just When you know that reality is
43:50
coming, you have to jump on the right now, right?
43:55
The New York football. Giants are 2 and 0 and leading
44:00
the nfc's and and and and folks these are the NFC least.
44:05
Is that what you think? Yep.
44:06
That too. That too.
44:08
Because the Cowboys are a Hot Flaming dumpster fire but
44:14
they're only one game behind us. And you know, I got a couple of
44:21
curiosity, please. The triplets still played for
44:29
them so that was in the 90s. There's no, there's no reason to
44:34
take gratuitous shots at the governor.
44:39
Oh man, hey, I mean the good thing is is that the Browns?
44:44
Thank you, not get it out of there.
44:46
Get out of there not having a A great weekend of time management
44:51
was the third worst thing that happened in the NFL this week,
44:55
right? Like this is how bad this the
44:57
Broncos won a game. And their fans were chanting out
45:05
the clock number countdown on plays, so they could stop
45:11
getting delay of game penalty game, penalties, and there are
45:14
things on the internet to actually make it seem as if the
45:17
head coach of the Broncos. Can't tell time.
45:20
I mean, there's like he's not bad.
45:24
He's got that bad at time management.
45:29
And nothing's worse really quick.
45:32
Nothing's worse than that. How the Raiders lost to the
45:37
Cardinals. Look like it's pretty funny.
45:42
I mean, I've never seen this nonsense.
45:46
Where are you? Your whole defense is falls,
45:49
apart goes to sleep for like 10 minutes.
45:51
The reason that the NFL is the best of the professional league
45:56
is because of the same reason that I choose to Route.
46:00
The way. I route in college football,
46:02
it's always chaos only, it's designed to chaos because they
46:07
structure everything to be as You know, parity Centric as
46:11
possible, right? So if you didn't think it was
46:15
possible for the Cincinnati Bengals to be owing to.
46:18
And in last place off the Super Bowl, I don't know why you
46:22
didn't think that was possible happens more often than you
46:24
think, all right mean, it happens a lot to the Super Bowl
46:28
loser, a lot. Listen, last year, AFC playoffs,
46:33
number one seed was the Tennessee Titans.
46:35
They are owing to and the Jacksonville Jaguars are in
46:38
first place. So how much money is going to be
46:44
spent on this Jets? Bengals game coming on you.
46:49
Right now I'm telling you, the Jets are one and one the gesso,
46:54
forget all that the Bengals are owing to write.
46:58
If they go to Owen three like one team in the last 50 years to
47:04
make the playoffs after Owen 3. And the biggest could absolutely
47:09
lose that. I just want to know this.
47:12
What is the last of the Jacksonville Jaguars shutout?
47:15
Anybody? Oh my goodness.
47:17
Oh, other than the other than themselves.
47:19
Yeah. Right.
47:21
The Jaguars were dominant. Yes, I'm glad you brought that
47:26
up. I would like to say something in
47:32
the NFL there are players that do not help themselves.
47:36
Like you know, Baker Mayfield is a great example, he screws up a
47:41
lot, he runs his mouth, a lot and catches a lot of heat and
47:44
most of that is his fault. But at the end of the year last
47:49
year the Indianapolis Colts went to Jacksonville who is by far
47:55
the worst team. All they had to do is win to get
47:58
into the playoffs, they lost and everybody blamed Carson Wentz.
48:06
Who threw 27 touchdowns and seven picks last year.
48:09
Carson Wentz is now in Washington, d.c. playing mauling
48:14
very well and the Colts might be the worst people.
48:20
No, no because they have a tie. They have a tie but damn bike.
48:26
Matt, Ryan is as done as anyone has ever been.
48:31
Yeah, Maddie ice has no ice has melted.
48:33
Yes, they would be better off. I'm paying, you know, whatever
48:38
the dollar figure is for Andrew Luck to come back.
48:43
A line, the line on the Giants game.
48:45
Right now is one minus one for the Giants.
48:51
Know, before we go much further, I want to have to category.
48:56
We agree disagree with you bag secured.
49:00
The worst thing eyewitnesses we can was the Cleveland Browns,
49:03
don't see? No, I was just trying to be nice
49:05
but I'd like your up 13 with a minute, in 13 seconds left, the
49:09
game. Okay so I turn it off.
49:11
Off. No, you gotta go backwards
49:19
because they're just increasing my pain.
49:28
I don't want to talk about it. That you just don't lose the
49:33
football game so I get all the other stuff.
49:35
You said not preciate it, but shame on the Cleveland Browns
49:39
crushing myself and all the other day, This is why I don't
49:42
talk about the Brows. I mean, when you have always
49:44
asked me to talk about the Browns as well, talk about the
49:47
Browns and literally your choices are score, a touchdown
49:55
and play more football, or run out the clock and the game is
50:00
over. There weren't three teams in the
50:05
history of football. That pick score a touchdown and
50:09
play more football. Well, not now, see, I would now
50:12
I want to want to be clear Lucius The entire black side of
50:18
my family is from Cleveland. Cleveland Browns are my father's
50:22
favorite team. So I'm not, I don't, I don't
50:24
have I have a soft spot in my heart for the Cleveland Brown.
50:29
but damn, like if If a New England Patriot would have run
50:38
the ball into the endzone, they would have been cut on Monday.
50:42
Mmm, come on. No, no, no, no, no.
50:53
When he was told do not kick the ball to DeSean Jackson.
50:56
Yep. And then he kicked the ball to
50:58
DeSean Jackson and the Duke was fired on the way to the locker
51:02
room after the loss. Yes, but see Cleveland is one of
51:07
these organizations who just don't deserve good things.
51:12
That moment is DeShaun Watson. You know what's the word I'm
51:18
looking for here Karma? Hmm, and it's probably going to
51:23
continue They just got to eat. He's got to eat it this year.
51:28
He's got to get it right now. I your pettiness shown greatly
51:33
this with that statement, but Sir, John Watson could be
51:43
playing for the Dallas Cowboys. The Browns are the Browns about,
51:48
it doesn't matter who they look, I go back to Baker, Mayfield in
51:52
area, that stupid decision. They've made, Do with Karma
51:56
Browns are just the Browns. Hey, leave it at that, round the
52:01
browser at first place right now.
52:04
Well, you know the Chiefs look. She's look great.
52:18
Hey but petition right now though the chief did look good
52:21
you rush out of the problem. Yes.
52:24
Oh wow. Early to that party.
52:28
Yes. Wow you were no like you started
52:30
that part that that dude. Wow.
52:34
But he he's a man of boys right now.
52:37
Yes he is. Yes he is they still got to show
52:41
up and do it when it counts for me.
52:43
But it looks like that's that that's their kind of their
52:45
charge right now for de panne. They look good.
52:48
He looks phenomenal. He absolutely does.
52:51
And since we're on the topic, I'm just gonna throw it out to
52:53
you all because everybody agrees that the AF c-- has the better
52:58
collection of top tier teams currently I'm just I'm looking,
53:03
I'm literally looking at the NFC right now and I don't know who
53:08
y'all think is going to keep the 45 year old out of the Super
53:12
Bowl, but honestly none of them. It ain't going to be the joint.
53:17
Well, you know, I think that when you talk about the 45 year
53:21
old, they need to get him before he gets to rust off.
53:25
I'll just hit slowly coming off every week, so, yeah, I do.
53:32
Because he's gone in about two weeks.
53:34
He's going to be that, dude, again, and then we can find me
53:36
because it is because he's because he's cause he's just a
53:40
little off right now. He's irritated.
53:43
Just a little, you got family stuff going on a little
53:46
distracted. He's getting wins days off.
53:48
Don't let him start 56 and then you guys have facto NFC
53:54
Championship is this weekend. You want to I'll tell you this
54:04
one of those two teams. One of those two teams is going
54:07
to be in the Super Bowl in the NFC.
54:09
Well it ain't going to be the Packers.
54:11
I mean this you and all your Aaron Rodgers hate
54:15
notwithstanding. What there's nobody in the NFC,
54:19
but Tampa that you can say definitively is better than
54:22
that. You'll see is bad.
54:26
Listen bro, the past the Packers have no weapons.
54:35
Aaron. Rodgers is experimenting with
54:36
drugs and he ain't beat Tom Brady, in eight years.
54:42
Listen, listen, Aaron Rodgers, I'm just telling you the NFC
54:53
pulls. Has no threat.
54:54
The giant operating rules will knock a rocket out of your high
54:58
and I'm a Giants fan. Stop it.
55:02
It is high. It's Edibles are bad for you.
55:06
Stop that. Can I ask the governor?
55:09
A question, a serious question. Scott.
55:15
Currently the best quarterback in the NFL?
55:17
No. So Cooper's not bad.
55:21
Wow, that was the most Petty punch in the gut ever.
55:27
And I'm going to give I'm gonna get credit.
55:48
Cooper, cooper for the guy that he's paying forty, five million
56:07
dollars, sir. Take some listen, put him in an
56:13
old folks home and take the team from him because y'all have no
56:17
shot at Being successful as long as that man is in front but you
56:21
know what? The Sunday know.
56:22
We we love it, we Giants fans love it.
56:28
Oh my goodness. The NFL is like the gift that
56:33
always gives. Every week.
56:36
There's again, I say the Broncos won a game and their head coach
56:45
is now photos even worse than he was after the worst game.
56:49
Time decision ever made in the first week.
56:53
I'm sorry, there's no evidence that do no good.
56:56
Somebody put out of me and it had a picture of him and it's
57:00
his when you lie on your resume and you don't get caught.
57:04
Oh my God. Gosh, why?
57:06
Oh my God. Okay, but let's go back to the
57:09
summer. Be clear about this.
57:11
They hired him because they thought they were getting a
57:15
package deal, it was supposed to be him and Aaron Rodgers.
57:19
Yes, Aaron didn't. Come airplane, mommy off.
57:23
Come and this dude, Russell Wilson out there.
57:27
Looking at this difference Highway Patrol.
57:36
Love it. Love it.
57:39
All right. Well, you know they say we don't
57:42
know anything besides running in circles or jumping far high and
57:45
throwing. So obviously there's things to
57:48
be as you ethics take pontificated with the NFL.
57:52
So with that, we're going to have more fun and let the
57:58
governor step in line for some, would you rather?
58:01
Okay, here we go. Oh my goodness.
58:15
All right. So you ready?
58:16
Yes, I'm ready. All right.
58:18
Would you rather eat only cake or pie for dessert?
58:22
Hi, would you rather have your dream car or your dream house?
58:29
Dream house? Would you rather never be able
58:35
to use a straw for your beverage or never have ice for your
58:39
beverage straw? I mean when we moved into an era
58:45
where you have no idea what you're sucking, your drink out
58:50
of nowadays paper, is it cardboard?
58:55
Is it avocado? Yeah, no idea but you know that
58:59
it it will deteriorate with your drink.
59:07
Okay, would you rather fall store false start or third foul?
59:15
Terrell start or third foul. Yeah, third foul.
59:20
Got it really Yes, yes. Would you rather lose your keys
59:30
or lose your phone? I would rather lose my keys,
59:43
which is so crazy. I don't think you're the only
59:45
one who had answered that way. Would you rather always have
59:49
your food prepared, incorrectly or never be able to eat what you
59:53
really want? Incorrectly.
59:58
Yes, I figure the rest out gentleman.
1:00:03
The floor is yours. Okay, so now I'm done, I'm good.
1:01:14
since we just got off of our NFL decision, Would you rather would
1:01:22
you rather? Watch Cooper, Rush, won a
1:01:26
playoff game. Or.
1:01:34
Move off deck to get a better cutie.
1:01:37
Oh my God, the game. Didn't question for Cowboys,
1:01:45
gosh. Give me, give me a second here.
1:01:49
All right, for the record. That is well since his first
1:01:54
year that is 12 and 22 against winning teams, all right?
1:01:59
I would rather It's a great question.
1:02:05
I would rather win a playoff game.
1:02:09
And that's why I was spared you not to team.
1:02:13
That's the only rationally that hey what what is the biggest
1:02:18
knock he doesn't. It hasn't mattered.
1:02:20
What teams we have fielded. We have just found a way to lose
1:02:25
in the playoffs period. So give me the win.
1:02:29
I'll take a win. For rain Dakota.
1:02:38
Or rain Dakota. Hundreds of millions of dollars
1:02:44
in nowhere to spend it. Yeah.
1:02:49
So I'm gonna I'm gonna go come on.
1:02:53
I think I don't think I want to go.
1:02:54
I'm going to move over the coach.
1:02:56
Okay, so would you rather coach The.
1:03:07
In see a champion in the triple jump.
1:03:15
I would you rather coach. We can see a record holder in
1:03:24
the long jump. No longer hangs over record.
1:03:32
Um, I would rather close to Champion.
1:03:39
My man, I would rather closer champion.
1:03:43
And it's, that's pretty self-explanatory.
1:03:46
I mean, yeah. Yeah, this it will see this.
1:03:51
There was no Petty nature. That was just kind of a, you
1:03:54
know, a teaching moment for other than the, you would have
1:03:56
right answer. So, I appreciate that.
1:03:58
Absolutely, because, because let's, let's be clear.
1:04:02
Clyde has been Petty all night long.
1:04:05
From question word, very educational question, glad got
1:04:11
on the call, Bob with bullets chamber.
1:04:14
Like yeah, I promise you. He has note over there either
1:04:18
physical or mental notes. He has maybe both yes.
1:04:28
Boom. Okay.
1:04:43
Would you rather? Get all of the shoes, all of the
1:04:50
sneakers in the world that you want.
1:04:55
But the price is you have to coach me in the 1500 every day
1:04:59
for the rest of your life. Or you could be coached by Sir
1:05:08
Lucius in the hundred and the long jump.
1:05:12
Uh-huh. But, you have to Forever, where,
1:05:17
what are those like, literally - shoe game like no one knew
1:05:26
recognize the shoes you have on your food?
1:05:29
All right, so I don't think you understand how much joy it would
1:05:34
give Give me the coach you in the 1500.
1:05:37
Yeah, actually say Joy. That's the amount of fun that I
1:05:47
would have. Oh, my goodness.
1:05:50
I would throw every single combination you could think of
1:05:54
at you, whether it's 15/100 or 82, hundreds, I would throw it
1:06:00
all at you. We, we would get to the bottom
1:06:03
of it, so, How I have news for everyone on this planet, as it
1:06:08
becomes the 1500 me and this group like the joke about my
1:06:12
1500, first of all, my PBS for 3870 which makes it not even
1:06:18
bad. It's legitimately solid.
1:06:22
Okay, but I only ran one of those one but more importantly
1:06:26
and this is the secret that most people don't know, it is not
1:06:31
what I was or not doing in the Hundred as it pertains to
1:06:36
training. I could do a lot of things in
1:06:39
training in the 1500, but after nine events of selling my soul.
1:06:45
Absolutely. The tank was just about empty
1:06:49
and I emptied in every one of those 1500s so it would be more
1:06:54
or less entertaining as you would think so.
1:06:56
Lamar what we witnessed was love that way you were sharing your
1:07:02
love for the event with the world.
1:07:05
We see ya. Here's what I'm going to say.
1:07:07
My PB is for 3870. I am telling you the 438 flat
1:07:14
would have put me in the grave. Calling the day. 77 more 10th
1:07:23
out of died, right there on the Finish Line.
1:07:25
They just really put the medal around my neck and here lies a
1:07:28
bronze medalist with a course. That's funny.
1:07:33
Anyhow, well played, well played.
1:07:36
I just need everybody to understand like Koreans love for
1:07:39
shoes is as great as mine is, if not worse.
1:07:43
Yes. And that dude is not ever
1:07:45
wearing anybody's. What are those?
1:07:48
It's not happening. Okay, that's it.
1:07:53
Say what are those? I've never seen those before.
1:07:58
Yeah, you got it. Hey, shouting off.
1:08:37
I'm going to say this. I'm going to shout out one mr.
1:08:41
Linden Victor only because it has been a labor of thus far.
1:08:49
It has been a labor of love. It's probably the easiest person
1:08:53
I've ever been involved with coaching.
1:08:56
He's got his Linden isms, which every athlete.
1:08:59
That's any good has. And things that you, you know,
1:09:02
you got to work through and get past.
1:09:05
But at the end of the day, like I've never questioned that
1:09:07
dudes, heart. And I just want everybody to
1:09:10
hear this. He was.
1:09:14
Coached up and lied to about what he had to run in the 1500
1:09:20
here and said Li for a PB and an overall PB and that is the
1:09:26
equivalent of like a game-winning jump shot or walk
1:09:30
off home. Run the man ran a PB in the 1500
1:09:33
to set up. He be in the decathlon.
1:09:36
Want a whole bunch of money and too many damn trophies.
1:09:39
So RP props go to one mr. Linden Victor who I Dunno.
1:09:45
I dunno watches the show. Probably won't watch this Friday
1:09:49
because he's still in Europe with his girlfriend.
1:09:51
Maybe if you had say, I don't know what's going on there,
1:09:54
right? With a man's business.
1:09:55
In the street, seriously. What is that?
1:10:00
I just said people do crazy things and pets you know
1:10:05
everybody to relax really? We need you to relax.
1:10:26
Anyways. Oh my God, these friends.
1:10:42
So, last year, obviously our inaugural year here at San Jose
1:10:47
State, a student on the campus named, JC Williams came to us
1:10:54
with an idea of following, the track team around to shoot a
1:10:59
documentary for his senior project or graduation.
1:11:04
Whatever it was. The I thought it was a cool idea
1:11:09
and he's a student. So I wanted to support him and
1:11:11
the athletic department green, greenlit the project, and
1:11:15
supported him. He stayed around all year
1:11:20
through the fall, through the winter through championships.
1:11:23
Followed us to NCAA regionals. And today I will say, because if
1:11:30
you are watching this on Friday as you are supposed To be his
1:11:37
documentary is documentary. Titled adversity, will be
1:11:43
premiering on our campus in conjunction with the black
1:11:48
student union here at San Jose State.
1:11:52
It's it has a very last chance. You Netflix kind of feel to it.
1:11:59
I think you did a beautiful job and obviously I'm One of the
1:12:04
subjects in the film, but it's about everybody.
1:12:07
It's about the athletes, it's about staff and, and all the
1:12:10
things that make this place a very unique Endeavor that we are
1:12:15
all on together. So mr.
1:12:17
Williams, beautiful job, sir. I can't wait to see the whole
1:12:21
thing unfold. I know the first two episodes
1:12:24
are done, and that is what he is premiering this weekend on our
1:12:27
campus. I don't know how many there will
1:12:29
be, and I know he has it out to some film festivals.
1:12:34
And trying to blow it up as big as he can get it because he did
1:12:38
that good of a job. So thank you sir, we appreciate
1:12:42
it. Anything that puts these kids
1:12:45
Spotlight on these kids the way they deserve to be.
1:12:47
I'm always going to be in favor for and I hope everybody gets to
1:12:50
see it. Somehow you can go to his
1:12:53
Instagram. It's called Welcome underscore.
1:12:55
Underscore adversity is the Instagram page and there are
1:13:00
ways to donate there's clips to watch.
1:13:02
There's all kind of things that you can get involved with.
1:13:04
With and hopefully somebody important.
1:13:06
We'll pick this project up and we'll all get to see it, you
1:13:08
know, on a real screen or something.
1:13:10
So Rob Lowe's are great job. That's cool.
1:13:17
I'm going to be simple with mine, and I'm gonna give my
1:13:20
Harpy props to my son. Wow.
1:13:25
Like, oh, a lot of, as you guys know, being part of, I've had a
1:13:28
lot going on with my family and things going on this summer and
1:13:34
my son MJ, as we lovingly call him has been a rock.
1:13:38
You know, checking on me every day, making sure that I'm okay.
1:13:43
And as he likes to say, Dad, Dad, just remember miss my need
1:13:47
to check on you sometimes and I really appreciate him for that
1:13:51
even though he comes by in the middle of something that's
1:13:54
always going on. He's to make me only, my,
1:13:56
obviously makes me laugh, you know, but I just wanted that do
1:14:00
not much. I love them and appreciate it
1:14:02
and I'm super duper proud to be his dad and watching, grow them
1:14:06
to be the manatees. That he's become spent pretty
1:14:08
cool. That's awesome.
1:14:11
Awesome. Awesome.
1:14:16
So this, we had our team meeting yesterday. and, I opened up, you
1:14:27
know, the or head coach. Let's each one of us talk, you
1:14:30
know? And so I started my talk with
1:14:37
the word anxiety. And you would have seen.
1:14:41
I mean, the amount of athletes just that just went like this,
1:14:46
you know? And basically my message, you
1:14:50
know, was that, you know, some math, some programs, you know,
1:14:57
we'll have testing some athletes, you know, will they
1:15:00
might test week one, you know, to just say, hey, let's see
1:15:05
where you're at, right? We waited three.
1:15:08
Weeks, you know. So we're basically still just
1:15:12
kind of moving around and getting our, get our feet wet.
1:15:16
But, you know, my message was to them was that was hey, you know,
1:15:20
we still have eight, nine months to go, right?
1:15:23
And, and if you are anxious, now, about an arbitrary number.
1:15:32
That is a starting point for you know, whatever it is that we're
1:15:37
going to build upon then we're in big trouble, right?
1:15:42
And and so you know, I know, I know that today's athletes and
1:15:49
what they go through on a daily basis, I mean I'll hop on this
1:15:53
until the cows come home. But You know, the stresses and
1:15:57
the things that they're going through our so multi-layered now
1:16:03
and, you know, you have, you know, if you're fortunate
1:16:08
enough, they will speak to you on it or they will at least open
1:16:13
the door for you to to kind of dive in and go, hey, you okay.
1:16:19
Is everything? All right.
1:16:21
And, you know, and then there are those that just internalized
1:16:24
internally Has internalized until things spontaneously
1:16:28
combust, right? So, I just wanted to give hardly
1:16:32
props. NCAA athletes in general track
1:16:37
and field athletes that are just starting their training cycles
1:16:41
and and, you know, for their different circumstances, of
1:16:47
course everybody's going through it.
1:16:50
But yes, stay the course, stay the course.
1:16:53
This is just the beginning. Okay, you're looking around.
1:16:57
It looks like things are dire. We haven't even got talk.
1:17:01
Over here, take a chill pill. All right and build on things.
1:17:08
Okay, whatever that starting point is, that's what it is.
1:17:12
Okay, chill out. Build on it.
1:17:16
We'll see you in January. We props must be in the air.
1:17:23
I know it's in there because I literally am that same
1:17:25
conversation today. My heart beat cops go out to Two

There are two decathletes who are into locks, who helped mr.
1:17:38
Lydon, Victor. Get to his 443.
1:17:40
And when I say help, they literally were giving him
1:17:43
signals like, stay with us. Come with me.
1:17:46
Stay behind me. And there are multiple pictures.
1:17:48

1:18:07
bow. You gentlemen did a job this
1:18:10

1:18:18
end of the tab for the deck. But thank you for allowing
1:18:24
