  Speaker 4: I appreciate you jumping in. One of the things Rod
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: told me, he said with Missisippi Sports Medicine, he said,
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: is it just me or does Tyson look different this
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: year in a better way? I mean, he's always looked good.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: I said, he looks like a big ten running back.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know what you guys have been doing,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: but men, your kids look real good right now.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, No, he does.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: Or he works hard in the weight room obviously you know,
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: really good trainer who takes care of of him, you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: and Tyson is one of those, no matter how long
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: it is at practice or whatever, he's gonna go get
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: treatment afterwards and just make sure he's taking care of
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: his body. I mean, he understands, you know that that's
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: a big part of it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: I'm sure they've told him about all that when he
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: was up at Michigan and looked into all that. But
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: he's one of those that definitely takes care of his body,
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: not just when he's with us, but twenty four to seven.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: And as a result, you see how he looks right now.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Absolutely how important has that become. I mean, you know
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: that's obviously has been in the NFL for a long time.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Colleges are doing it, but now high school athletes. For
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: the guys to obviously you want him to practice well,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: to work out well, but then to take time after practice.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think it's huge. And Steve,
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: you know, the trainer here, does a really really phenomenal job.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: You know, he makes sure they are not doing what
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: they're not supposed to be doing as far as coming
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: to seeing him when we're you know, film or wage
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: or something, but just as soon as after he stays
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: as long as they need, you know, they can get
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: there early and see him, and he has a great
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: room in there. To set up with anything they could
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: possibly need. And man, I think he does a phenomenal job.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: I think he's top notch.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: How obviously spring we talked to you with the Mississippi
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Coaches Association Clinic. How has the summer been for you guys?
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Man, it's been great. That's great. I think everybody's ready
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: for to get here. You're just that time.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: You know, you're finishing week two of fall camp, you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: and we actually talked about Warren Central little bit while
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: to go and a walk through deal because you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: it's a little too hot to get out today and
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: we tried it, but it hit us pretty hard. So
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: when they're kind of introduce some more in Central stuff
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: and obviously know they're a handful had some really good
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: battles with with coach Morgan when it was on a
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: fun earlier talking about that. Just have there's been some
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: good games and all that. Just hey, this is what
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: we're going to do in a jambure This is what
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: y'all gonna do in a jamburee, and just try to
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: get out there and compete a little bit and stay
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: healthy for a week.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: One his goal, Yeah, what do you look for in
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: a jamboree. I mean, obviously you don't show your whole
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: package on offense or defense, but what's you know, kind
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: of what do you want to see happening in the
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: goals of those Yeah?
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I told till the office the day. You know,
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: I think I didn't tell them this, but I told
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: them we need to what we wanted to see as
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: could we be the more physical football team? You know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: how could we get going as sustain drives and finished
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: foot point pints every time, you.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Know, and start really fast on first down.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: The thing I didn't tell them that, you know, us
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: as coaches want to see is these kids that you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: maybe this is their first year playing varsity football. You know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: like a like a Tommy Brumfield, who's a tenth grade
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: receiver with all the talent in the world, Like, how's
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: he going to do in the bright lights?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: The two offensive linemen that weren't starters last year, how
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: are they gonna perform?
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: We got a h back Wilkes Wallace, who we love.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: How's he going? You know what I'm saying. Just the
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: guys that we hadn't seen the tape.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: We've seen tape on Tyson We've seen tape on sleeve,
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: We've seen tape on Tallon Harvey, Carter Smith, you know
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: those guys.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: But just what about those other guys? Are they ready?
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Can they do it? Do we need to get a
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: backup playing all that kind of stuff?
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: You know? I think that's I think that's our big thing,
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: just playing somebody other than ourselves. Visiting with Justin Hunter,
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: offensive coordinator at Brandon associate head coach Thursday edition of
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: your program, people have asked, what is this Brandon offense
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: gonna look like under Justin Hunter?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: I know you from just football obviously, and we've got
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I think a great relationship. I know what you've done
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: in the past. You've put points on the board. I
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: was over there visit with a Clinton. We were Clinton
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago, and Hammer Morgan told me
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: off the air, he said, uh, man, y'all got a
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: good coach over there. He said, he knows offensive football.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: What does printed his offense look like on a Justin Hunter?
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: I just want us to be I want us to
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: be efficient. You know, I think it's it's probably the
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: first word, you know, Uh, talk to him all the time.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: We got to be great on first down. You know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: we want to play with with with pretty good tempo,
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: but you can't play with tempo if you're going three
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: and out. So we're gonna spend a lot of focus
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: on first down. Uh, We're gonna try to do what
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: our players do best.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: You know. Obviously you got Tyson and Kingston that we
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: feel pretty good about. We got shocked that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: I just love him from maturity and a leadership standpoint. Man,
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: just a great, great, great kid.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: I'm just I'm just wowed by him every day just
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: being around him. And not to mention JB get our
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: next guy line man. Just two kids that you know,
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, it is what it is when you have
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: a play caller and a quarterback. They got to have
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: a special relationship. Man and I and I I feel
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: like we are we have that, you know, great great kids.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: But again, just be efficient. You know, we can't have
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: bad penalties and we can't turn the football over, and
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: we got to finish drives with a kick, preferably an
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: extra point. You know, but if we have to pump,
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: we have to pump. We just can't turn the football over.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: We can't put our defense in a mind. But we
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: want to go as fast as we can possibly go,
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: but again, we can't do that if we're not efficient,
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: especially on first down.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Slayton was referencing. He said, the biggest difference is
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: the playbook has gotten thicker this year. So obviously, but
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: how do you know, you could be the best offensive
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: coordinator or offensive mind in the world, right, regardless of football,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: but getting it to what your kids can actually digest
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: and perform, you know, consistently on the field, correct, right, right.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: I think a big benefit we've had is just doing
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: the morning practices. You know, we go five to forty
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: five in the morning, we practice, and then they go
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: shy or we shower, go to school, and then the
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: last block we get them and we've already watched that film.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: We have notes on that film, so we're either walked
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: through and film or both or whatever. So it's happening
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: pretty quick as far as hey, this is what it
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: looked like, this is what we've got, this is what
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: we did good. This we got to work on, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: then off of that, then you got the next morning script.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: So it's just I don't want to say it's like
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: a college camp, but that's kind of how it's being
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: in a nutshell, you know. And I think that's I
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: think that's very beneficial because they're not having to practice
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: at three, get done at five, and then wait till
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: the next afternoon. They're getting it pretty quick as far
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: as feedback and stuff goes. And I think I think
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: we're picking up on it really really quick. I don't
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: feel like it's a lot, you know. I feel like it's, uh,
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: we're throwing a lot of stuff at them. But obviously,
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: week to week we're not gonna do all that type thing.
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: But just with the way things are now, with when
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: you get the summers and then you get these two weeks,
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: I mean, you've got a lot of time to practice football,
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: you know. So let's just see what they can do
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: and what they can't do, and then what we like
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: we'll keep, and what we don't we.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Want, you know. And it sounds like what you guys
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: are doing. I haven't heard a lot of schools talk
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: doing about doing it that way. But it sounds like
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: a modified to two days of sorts, uh kind of
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: maybe maybe you know, I say modify it, right, yeah,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: but to make sure we say modified, yeah, absolutely absolutely.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Look I'm old enough to remember teams used to do
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: three days, right. I mean you know you you would
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: go a Saturday sometimes and you would go morning, you
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: would go after lunch, and then you'd come back under
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: the light.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: Man and they might put us under the jail. And
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: we're trying to do that now.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Can't do that, right, can't do that. Visit with Justin Hunter.

  Speaker 4: I mean if I knew I was going to be
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: late and then I had to run the stadium. Which
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: you know, what's interesting is all your stadiums now Bulldog
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Stadium is one of them. Two is uh, the home
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: signs are pretty elevated now. So take us through what
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: the last two weeks. Coach Hunter, you know, said, you
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: guys have been obviously getting after it. We'll be visiting
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: with Michael Turner here later on the program. You're a
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: defensive coordinator. Take us to what the last few weeks
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: been like.
• 12:28
  Speaker 10: The last few weeks, just the learning process, you know,
• 12:31
  Speaker 10: building team building, you know, camaraderie, building a fellowship with
• 12:35
  Speaker 10: each other, as well as teaching young men. Like I said, discipline, structure.
• 12:41
  Speaker 10: Understanding football is more than just the exes and o's,
• 12:46
  Speaker 10: and so it has a lot to do with everyday
• 12:48
  Speaker 10: life being disciplined when you need to. And we've been
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: doing that. That's it's a process. We've been learning and
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: continuing to grow.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting to hear you say that, and
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: of course you and I know each other almost twenty
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: five years now. It's hard to believe. But Chris Jones,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: who we do Hines football here as well, he talks
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: a lot about that and he you know, it's not
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: lip service. I mean, Chris is you know, he's a
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: big you know, camaraderie guy. He's a big culture guy,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: and you know culture gets thrown around a lot that
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: that time. But if you talk to him and then
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: you go watch him. We were at Heines the other day.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: They are lockstep in that, in that kind in unison
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: and culture, and he says the same thing. Hey, look,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: yeah we want to win. Yeah, ex's and o's are
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: going to come together. But it's way way more building
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: this team than what we do out there on Thursdays
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: or Fridays or Saturdays exactly.
• 13:41
  Speaker 10: You know, anytime I see Chris at a function or something,
• 13:45
  Speaker 10: I'm always in his ear, you know, just trying to
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: hear what he has to say, you know, get some
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: insight from him, because I admire a young man. He's
• 13:53
  Speaker 10: done a great job and he's built himself up and
• 13:56
  Speaker 10: what he has and what he does, you know, represents that.
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: I want to represent discipline, structure, you know, camaraderie, teamwork,
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: dedication to the craft. And if I can get that
• 14:09
  Speaker 10: done done, I think we'll be doing the great job here.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Visit with Eugene Clinton had football coach athletics director Brandon
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Bulldog's on your radio Thursday edition of the program. We
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: had Tyson Robinson and Slayton and Shocky in earlier talk
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: a little bit about what those two men. You know,
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: what you've seen out of them now is this is
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: their last run here?
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: Man, those two young men are. This program loves them,
• 14:32
  Speaker 10: you know, this community loves them, this school loves them.
• 14:36
  Speaker 10: Slayton shack Man a leader, A leader. He's out here.
• 14:40
  Speaker 10: He's the first one out here. When I'm out here
• 14:42
  Speaker 10: walking in the stadium, he's the first one out here
• 14:45
  Speaker 10: and he runs his lap, gets set working on warming
• 14:49
  Speaker 10: up his arm before anybody else does, you know. And
• 14:51
  Speaker 10: that's what the leader does. The leader leads by example.
• 14:54
  Speaker 10: He sets the example of getting out here, being first.
• 14:57
  Speaker 10: You know, Tyson Robinson being more vocal, man, you know,
• 15:01
  Speaker 10: he's being more vocal. Hey guys, let's go, Hey, Hey,
• 15:04
  Speaker 10: let's let's make sure we make these blocks. Let's make
• 15:06
  Speaker 10: sure we're tackling when we're supposed to, Let's make sure
• 15:08
  Speaker 10: we sit in the edges. I mean, he's he's learning,
• 15:11
  Speaker 10: he's learned in the game on both sides, and that
• 15:15
  Speaker 10: that just states exactly how dedicated he is to this
• 15:18
  Speaker 10: craft as well.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: You know, it's it's interesting because talking to both of
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: those young men about it is and you know this,
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: you you played your whole life, You've been around this game,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: your whole life. Is every year a senior class, some
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: are really good leaders. Then you get some years room
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: maybe they're not as good as leaders. And you know,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: they both kind of spoke of, hey, what we learned
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: last year, and I don't want to speak directly for them,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: I'm paraphrasing, is we've got to do a better job leading.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: And I think that's they're showing that that, hey, now
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: it's their turn. They want to make sure that you know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: they're not doing it the wrong.
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: Way exactly exactly. You know, I always tell them, you know, hey,
• 15:54
  Speaker 10: I can't want it more than you do. You know,
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: you have to want it as a as a senior,
• 15:59
  Speaker 10: as a leader, as someone that the community looks up
• 16:02
  Speaker 10: to and I mean, you know, these little kids look
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: up to you, so you have to want it more
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: than we do. And you show that by coming out
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: here every day dedicating to yourself to hard work, discipline
• 16:13
  Speaker 10: and you know, structure.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you this with you know, next week,
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: I obviously Warren Sitchral comes in. So you guys are about
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: to flip if you haven't already kind of the way
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: you do practice mean, and you're getting close to Hey,
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: we've got to prepare for another jersey, which the guys
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: aren't gonna mind that, right right, I mean, you're you're
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: kind of past the time now where you're tired of
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: seeing the same you know, red and black jerseys. You're
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: ready to see another jersey. When you look at this team,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: what do you like? And then where do you say?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Hey?
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: We still and you you're never not evolving, but you say, hey,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: today I like this, but we still got to go here?
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: What is that today? I like the direction that we're going.
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: I like I like our focus. You know, we we
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: hadn't got there yet and it's going to take a
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: little time, but I like our focus. I like I
• 16:55
  Speaker 10: like our dedication to to wanting to our will to
• 16:59
  Speaker 10: you know, continue to push on regardless of the situation.
• 17:03
  Speaker 10: You know, like I said, it takes a lot from
• 17:06
  Speaker 10: parents and kids to get up. If I be here
• 17:09
  Speaker 10: and start practice at five forty five, right, not get
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: here at five forty five, but to start practice at
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: five forty five. You know, that's dedication. And if you're
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: willing to do that, you're showing your efforts. You're showing
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: your your grit and your want to. And that's what
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: we're looking for. That shows that we're going in the
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: right direction, because, like I said, football is more than
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: just excell and the os. It has to deal with life.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: So we got a couple of minutes left here with
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Eugene Clinton. He's the head football coach here in athletics
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: director Brandon. You know, you were thrust into this job,
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: and I've said this on a different scale, kind of
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: like Pete Golden was at Ovis right. Change you jumped
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: in we got to win a ball to get to
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. Then oh, by the way, we got to win,
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: you know, and went on a run to South State.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: How has that helped you become who you are even today?
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: On just a short window, because you know, if we
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: were sitting here talking last year, you weren't expected to
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: be a head coach. Now obviously you are the coach.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: How how did that situation maybe help you to where
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: you even are today?
• 18:11
  Speaker 10: It gave me a quick insight on on what to
• 18:15
  Speaker 10: expect things that will pop up. You know, as first
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: time head coach, you really don't know what to look for. Well,
• 18:22
  Speaker 10: now I kind of have an idea of what I'm
• 18:24
  Speaker 10: looking for, what I'm what I expect, How to talk
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: to the refs, you know, how to manage my team
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: on the sideline, how to communicate about a coach We're
• 18:34
  Speaker 10: coming your way. Do you guys have an officer that
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: they'll meet us at the stop light so we can
• 18:38
  Speaker 10: come through track. Yeah, all those little things and they
• 18:42
  Speaker 10: make a difference. And so now I'm understanding and learning
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: a little bit more on how to deal with certain
• 18:47
  Speaker 10: things of that aspect.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: And of course, you know, knowing who you are and
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: people that know you coming from you know, ground up,
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: growing up in someone I believe you told me your
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: stepfather military kind of a military family. Play for Willie
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Collins Provine, Jackie Chryl's early done. You've talked about structure.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: You come from structure. You're starting to see that in
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: your guys too, because teams become who they coach are
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: and they're becoming as you said, you like our direction today,
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: they're becoming.
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: That like, Yes, I love the direction that we're going.
• 19:20
  Speaker 10: You know, I asks two great coaches to come in.
• 19:23
  Speaker 10: I think, you know, Justin Hunter and Michael Turner both
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: have great expectations, great minds. You know, their skill set
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: is as wonderful that what they do, and I think
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: they fit well with this program. I think the other
• 19:37
  Speaker 10: coaches that I have, you know, continue to grow and
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: continue to push the young men to be better, stronger,
• 19:43
  Speaker 10: and faster. So that's what That's what I think helps.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Eug and Clinton. He's the head football coach and athletics
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: director Brandon is meet the Dog's Day for all the
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: sports here today. They'll have a little scrimmage tonight and
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: then of course turn the page into a preseason week
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: next week. Coach, Thank you so much. I appreciate your
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: time today. Thank you, Jake, I appreciate you. Appreciate it.

• 20:10

  Speaker 4: Me through Thursday, Roll to you by my book, he
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: dot ag Rafaela Sparsa kind of enough to give us
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: some time? Who's got a jam pack schedule on your radio? Sparsa?
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Are you able to breathe this time of year with
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: everybody getting ready for football?
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: At that time of year? It's preseason? I mean, I mean,
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: I love how everyone's jones in about preseason. I can't
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: believe I heard all day today about it. I can't
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: believe beck is not playing for Arizona. He's the MVP candidate.
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: Has he not playing because he's the only quarterback They
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: had a good game so far? But it is what
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: it is. Football is King. I always have to accept
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: it this time of year. But I mean, it's preseason people.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, go wait a minute now, You're not
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: anti football though, right.
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: No, I'm not anti football. I'm just anti how we
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: make it King of all kings, you know me? I
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: don't don't believe that we should have uh three hundred
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: and sixty five day NFL show and we have ten
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: days of the draft combine stuff all over to you.
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: I mean it's just I mean, come out of people.
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: It's overkilling.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Well that but that's that's the NFL monetization machine though, right,
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: I mean that's why they're doing that. I mean it's yes,
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: it's necessary, you have to have the draft and stuff.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: But for the NFL, I mean it's how can we
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: I say we they how can they turn another dollar?
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: Because the general public will spend it? Correct?
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: Correct? But I mean, you know me, I'll take college
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: football any day of the week in the NFL.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Speaking of college football, let's look at you know, the
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: AP poll should be out sometime this weekend. I know
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: it's a preseason poll, and you know, I agree with
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: We were talking junior college football with one of our
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: local teams here earlier this week and their athletic directors
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: that I don't know how we have a preseason poll
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: when all these teams change over same way with the
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: with the college ranks. I mean, the teams are are
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: you know, all different, But when you look at the
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: players and I'm gonna go buy uh, you know this
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: this shop I'm looking at here pin Gaming. We can
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: look at my bookie. I think they're all pretty similar.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame, Ohio State at the top along with Texas.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: These are national Championship odds Indiana, Oregon, Georgia, Miami, Texas Tech.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: It feels like this field might be the most exciting
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: field that we've seen in a number of years. I
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: don't know if that's because of the transfer portal, because
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: the money going into these teams, But I don't know
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: that one team is better far and away better than
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: the other, is it?
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: Well?
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: I mean, I think some of the top teams have
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: that the guy that the reason why we're talking about them,
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: I'm talking okay, Texas has a manning. Oregon's always going
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: to be up to because their speed. Ohio State is
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: always going to be up to because who they recruit
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: and who they pay for the same thing with a
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: lot of the SEC teams Georgia, LSU, Alabama. Of course,
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: we're going to talk about those teams, and we're gonna
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: talk about those teams every year, even if they did
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: not project it to be. Let's see the national champion
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: We're always gonna mention as well, but I mean we were.
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: Indiana is still up there. I think the you is
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: going to be up there. I feel back for Florida,
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: the Gators. I think my I think Florida now is
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: a youth football a state unless for some reasoned the
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: Gators can turn things around. I love what Miami the
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: Hurricanes are doing right now. So there's teams in there.
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: We haven't seen Texas Tech up there in football, but
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: they're spending a lot of money right now. So I
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: like the teams that I look up there and I'm like, wow,
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: we haven't seen those teams in football in college football.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: For a while. Does it feel like, you know, we
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: sometimes overblow this and more so in the NFL with
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: quarterbacks every year it's so well, this class is going
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: to be the best quarterbacks class. That's eighty three always
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: reference eighty three is kind of ground zero this year though.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, when you look at college football quarterback situations
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: at Notre Dame, Ohio, State, Texas, potentially Indiana, Oregon, Georgia, Ole,
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: mess and you can I mean, there's there's other quarterbacks
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: you see. It feels like this is a true year
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: of the quarterback in college football, some really good ones.
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: Well, it's really not that hard to say this is
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: a top quarterback class because what the class we just
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: went through. But I thought it was one of the
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: worst classes. I mean, just the top two with the
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: Manning More Sellers. There's a lot of interesting names, but
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: that's gonna be up there. But I still think this
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: draft class we went we went to could be one
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: of the worst classes, at least for some reason. Mendoza,
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: let's say pulls a rabbit up his hat and he's
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: the real deal and he puts the Raiders on the map,
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: then I think that could change. I think one of
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: these quarterbacks needs to put their team on their back
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: and put them in the playoffs. I just don't see
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: any of those quarterbacks that got drafted to do that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: Raphaelos Spars and my bookie dot Ag get in and
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: play today as you move forward through this year. All right,
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: So if we're talking value for national championship picks, and
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: you know, we talk about value pick, that's a for
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: those that don't sports game a whole lot. We're talking
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: you know, what can you pick and then get them
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: or turning your money in Texas A and M eighteen
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: to one, Texas Tech sixteen to one, BAMA maybe at
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: twenty to one, or LSU. Where's your value one or
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: two that you're looking at right now.
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: I'll take Texas Tech over A and M. Just the
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: amount of money they are throwing at the football program,
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: the quarterbacks that they've been able to provide their offense
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: in there. So I'll take the Texas Tech, which you
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: can get anywhere between. I think I've seen them as
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: high as twenty five to one. Texas Tech up there,
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: Ole missed there's another one. I know, people, I hope
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: I'm saying, I hopefull you guys are sitting down. I
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: did mention an SEC team, but Old Miss. I mean
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: every only wants to talk about Georgia, but I like
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: Old Miss. They're chipping their shoulder. Everyone wants to talk
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: about Kiffin and LSU. But Ole Miss can be one
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: of those teams that can shock everybody. And I'll throw
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: I'll throw a rink out there. BYU. I mean they're
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: a quiet team. We saw them their success last year.
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: They have a lot of starters coming back on defense.
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: I mean, I think there are anywhere between ninety to
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: one to one hundred and one. I'm not saying, oh,
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: double mortgage your house or ask your wife for a
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: double allowance so you can put BYU, but they could
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: be up there just to put them in the mix
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: where you can hedge off that ticket.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: I've won twenty three games last two years. I mean,
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: that's that's you know, what's interesting about them is when
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: they left the independent status and jumped into the Big twelve,
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: they kind of took a dip and then whatever they did.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: You know, obviously they've got money because they put rosters together.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: We know about the Mormon calls there and the fact
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: that a lot of their players are older. Whatever they're
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: doing has worked, and I agree with you. I mean,
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: outside of Texas Tech, you look at BYU, that they
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: could be a team that not only wins the Big twelve,
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: gets in the playoff and maybe makes some noise.
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that's why. I mean one thing you
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: mentioned that no one really talks about the their athletes
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: are I want to say a lot older but mature
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: because they've gone to their missions and they've probably seen
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: a lot and done a lot that most people have
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: never will see in a lifetime. So they when they
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: come back, they've changed people, and like I said, I
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: think their age and their leadership in the locker room
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: needs to be mentioned. I mean their first three games
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: or there can be three, no they I think. I
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: know it's Utah Tech, Arizona and Colorado State and then
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: they have a bye before they go to TCU, So
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: I mean they can really go into the TCU game
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: three and oh and anything happens after that. I know
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: they have to play Notre Dame this year though, too.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you about Clemson. I'm looking at their
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: odds seventy five to one to win the national title.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's been that that low, maybe
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: since Dabo's first or second year there, and I'd have
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: to go back and look at you know, historical you
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: know Vegas data on this or that on this is
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: the is the luster totally gone off? Fantasy lost it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: We're going to have this conversation September sixth because when
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: they go when they have to play LSU and they lose,
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: I think we're going to have that issue because this
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: is not this is not the same Clemson team because
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: they won't get with the new college program. Danilo Street,
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: I don't understand his Tankics. I don't understand why he's
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: still there. Uh, they lose the LSU, they could go
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: they could lose the cow. I think their second road game, Oh,
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: they played what I think they played Georgia Southern uh
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: and Charleston Southern. They played both of those. Those could
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: be their only double digit wins. And I think every
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: other game, I think it's going to be tough. Even
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: their homecoming game against Metallica Slash spot Tech is going
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: to be a tough one.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: What else is going on this weekend?
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: Not much.
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: Just like it's preseason. Anywhere in the country is hot,
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: so he really can't go outside because it's so hot everywhere,
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: So just sit around and watch the Cubs to continue
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: to win games preseason and NFL. And why Jake won't
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: invite me to his podcast. I saw him post on Instagram.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: I was gonna send you a text on that literally today,
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: so you'll be getting a text on that so we
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: can set that up.

  Speaker 4: Oh Man, absolutely, we wouldn't have it any other way.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: So you take over for doctor Killen who was here.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: We were just talking about Cody and you know thing
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: you said, he teeds you up here, take us through.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: You know when that spot came open, kind of your
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: decision to say, yeah, I want to I want to
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: continue to move and I want to lead the high
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: school here Brandon.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: So I've been in administration for this my eighth year,
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: served Brandon Middle for three years of that, and you
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: know when the position came open, Initially I thought, you know,
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: my middle school guy, through and through That's where I've
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: always been and just had a tugging in my heart
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: and just felt like it was time to take that
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: next step. Put in my name for it, met with
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: mister Stein, mister Sanders, had great conversations about it, and
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: sat down with Cody and he kind of shared where
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: his vision was and what he had done to try
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: and implement a few changes. And the number one thing
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: he really shared with me was this school has already
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: got so many phenomenal things. It doesn't need a makeover.
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: It just needs a little fine tuning. Come in, see
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: the great things, see where you can help find improvements,
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: But don't try to change the ship. Just go go
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: with it, let it keep flowing. And I've taken that advice,
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: and teachers have been real excited. They've really enjoyed the
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: small little changes we've made here and there. I think
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: we're going in the great direction. I really appreciated what
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: coach Cody Killing did before I came in.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: You know, you talk about middle school. The Misisvy High
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: School Activity Association who we partner with. They were over
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: at our building today doing some new creatives and stuff
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: for messaging for twenty six twenty seven, and some of
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: that messaging was middle school focused. I've got two middle schoolers,
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: I know, we all got kids. Just the importance and
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: I'd love to see this. You mentioned it, You've spent
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: a lot of your career middle school. The focus on
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: middle school boy that is so important?
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: Is it? It is to me it's one of the
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: most multiple moments of a kid's life. In elementary you know,
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: they're really just there. They're learning so much, their brains
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: are developing. By the time they get to middle school,
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: they're trying to figure out who they are. So am
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: I going to be that person who's in the arts world?
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: Do I want to be an athlete? Do I want
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: to be a scholar? And they have no idea. One
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: day they want to do this, the next day they
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: want to do that. They're so impressionable that if you're
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: able to find that right guidance for them to steer
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: them in a direction that where they're making positive choices,
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: they're trying to better themselves. They carry that into the
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: high school. And we've seen that with especially the freshman
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: and sophomores and juniors. You know, I was their assistant
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: principal at the middle school. So when they saw me,
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: they were like, oh, here comes mister Venstra, and I
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: remember how he was in the middle school, and I
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: can see with them that those foundational things we did
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: in middle school and the fruits of it now, because
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: middle school making ple your hair out, it can be
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: a frustrating, challenging time. To see the hard work that
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: I know those teachers are doing, Mister Rain's doings there
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: and that admin team and seeing the effect of it now,
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: it just really brings a lot of gratification to know
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: that what they're doing is working.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: He is mister Jacob Vinstra, he is the head principal
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: here Brandon High School. Thursday edition of your Program. So
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: you know, we were talking to Rod and we were
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: talking through with MISSIPI Sports Medicine, the facilities here. We've
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: visited a lot of campuses with great facilities. You guys
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: are one of those as well. Just the beautiful football
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: facility everybody talks about even though you know with the
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: down the year last year, the Bulldog Stadium experience on
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: Friday nights, with the firework shows and just the dog
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: walk and you look over here, the new track that's
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: finally in service, new buildings, and I know you guys
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: have a master plan that every school does to continue
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: to build out. Talk about everything going on here at
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: Brandon High School.
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: So it's been really neat to see. We're getting to
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: host our first track event this year. So the track
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: was built I think it finalize a year and a
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: half ago. They've been using it for a practice facility
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: and a lot of different things, but they haven't been
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: quite ready to host an event. And here we are,
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: we're getting to host our first event this year. I
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: don't know if you've gotten to check out the sand
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: volleyball court that are right across.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: I've heard a lot about it.
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: That has been a game changer, and not just for volleyball.
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: I was talking with coach Walker and Coach Clinton, and
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: the football team is in love with that sand court
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: because they will go out and they will do all
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: kinds of aerobic exercising out there, knowing that the damage
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: and wear and tear on their body is so much
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: less because they're on a sand court rather than running
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: on a turf for a grass field. So that's been
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: awesome to see. We're hoping to get some events hosted
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: there soon. There's still a few other things we got
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: to work through to make that happen, just lots of
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: different things. Sitting with b Club and their ideas of
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: what they want to try to do, to promote programs
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: and to build the programs. It's really it's an exciting
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: time to be here.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm so intrigued where you know higher education
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: is going. And we always like to have I like
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: to have these conversations with the administrators like yourself, as
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: you know, with AI and the way things are moving
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: and how we see it in our business. Every business
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: is having to deal with it. Education is having to
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: deal with it. How are you guys handling that? You know,
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: from a from a higher education standpoint, because technology is
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: moving at such a rapid base.
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: Correct, It goes back to utilizing it and teaching them
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: kids to.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Use it the right way.
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: So it's real easy as a kid to be I
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: mean we all did it as kids too. You look
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: over and you see if you can get a quick
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: answer to try and get things done right, it happened. Well.
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: Kids today they can easily just put everything into a
• 36:53
  Speaker 8: computer program, take a picture of it, and boom, it's
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: done for them. So how do we know they're learning things?
• 36:58
  Speaker 8: A lot of it comes into monitor during the teachers
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: do a phenomenal job especially of trying to make sure
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: they're they're seeing an actual student's product. But then teaching
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: the kids. Hey, we've got AI and this a great tool.
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: How can you actually use it to benefit yourself? So
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: I saw a teacher the other day. She was teaching
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: a lesson. The kids were just it was way over
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: the heads. They had no idea what she was talking about.
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: She pulled up chat GVT and she said, let me
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: show you something. She gave the topic. She said, give
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: it on a twelfth grade level, and it was still confusing.
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: She said, can you tell me this again. Pretend it
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: was a glass of second graders explain the exact same
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: concept in a simpler way, and they clearly understood it
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: and then progressed through it.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: So, just seeing different.
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: Ways to utilize such a it's a phenomenal resource. I
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: use it daily in our job. Doctor Daddy, I don't
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: know if you've met him. Well, he is a tech
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: guru and he has used Claude and these other platforms
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: to revamp things that we're utilizing in the school. And
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: it's just so beneficial. But it still has our creative side.
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: It still requires our mind. We've trained it to do
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: what we need it to do rather than just let
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: and to give us a product and hope we can
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: figure it out.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting, and you know, I think the biggest
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: challenge is to make sure and I'm preaching the choir,
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: is that students, and you kind already said this, they
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: don't become just dependent on it, like what if we
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: was a world where if you flip the light switch
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: and it was gone. You still want them to be
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: able to think objectively and organically, be able to process information.
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: And it's really neat kids nowadays. I don't want to
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: say relationships, but it's almost like a relationship with AI.
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: It's a friend to them. They have conversations with it,
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: so they're using it as a social platform rather than
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: how can I use it as a resource to help
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: me understand more clearly? And that's something I'm seeing in
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: a lot of our teachers when they use AI in
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: the classroom, they're trying to say, let me teach you
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: how to do it first. Now that you understand how
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: to do it, let's apply it with this and see
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: how we can take it to the next level. I
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: just think AI, if we don't keep a rain on
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: it and try to keep it from being just over
• 38:56
  Speaker 8: inclusive and taking over everything, then we can see true
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: benefit from it. But if we allow it to do
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: it for us, then we're setting our kids up to
• 39:04
  Speaker 8: not be successful in the real world.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: Got about a minute and a half left here with
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: mister Jacovinstro. He's the head principal here at Brandon High School.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: A lot of energy behind Coach Clinton, and of course
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: his new staff is here. You can fill the energy
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: here on campus for football cent.
• 39:18
  Speaker 8: I was talking with a few guys from MRA the
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: other night when we had our volleyball game here and
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: they brought up our new OC and DC and they
• 39:25
  Speaker 8: just said, man, what home run hires have you brought in?
• 39:28
  Speaker 8: And I said, well, give credit to Coach Clinton. I
