• 1:08
  Speaker 1: playing in the National Championship next Monday. Kurt Signetti, Mario Cristobaul.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: We've got a high school report today, Gavin Grohovic from
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the baseball side, and very excited about one of our
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: guests today, not that we're not excited about all of them,

• 1:31
  Speaker 1: written a biography Dolly Parton called Nobody's Fool. Martha Ackman
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: will join me on the show today as well. So
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the coaches are meeting, and you know that's always a
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: bad deal. It took him more than three hours today
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to decide that they want their red shirts to be
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: able to play nine games and not four games and
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: still be able to red shirt. I don't need to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: leave this ESPN playoff stuff to the coaches. We need
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: somebody else still Aizar. Heather Dinich is reporting then exchange
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: for support of a sixteen team playoff starting this next year.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: The Big Ten is asking the ACC to commit to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: move to twenty four teams in two or three years.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Eventually we will have every Big Ten and every SEC
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: team in the playoff. And isn't that what America has
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: been asking for all along? Ty Simpson, who says he's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: going to the NFL Draft. According to several reports, has
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: been offered up to six and a half million dollars
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to stay in college next year. Where'd that six and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a half mil come from?
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: The U.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Tennessee offered a paltry four mil ole miss four mil
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: chump change, but for six and a half million. If somebody,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: like when I was junior in college, said hey, you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: just stay around here another year for six and a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: half million, I'd say, well, yeah, I think so. I mean,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I'm taking naps right now. It's college. I'm going to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: listen to pretty good music in the evening. You know,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I'm an occasionally turning in a homework assignment. Yeah, for
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: six and a half million, I'll stay another year. I guess.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Aggie Basketball tonight, six o'clock, the fighting Rick Barnes is
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: taking on the BUCkies. Tennessee is eleven and five. They're
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: twenty seven in the net. They're twenty four in this
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: week's AP ranking. And I believe I read this correctly.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: It is the first ranked team A and M will
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: have played this year while they're ranked. SMU got to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: be ranked, but they weren't ranked when they lost. SMU
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and nobody else has been ranked. Auburn wasn't ranked I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: think when they played last week, so this first ranked
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: team they played, and it will be at six o'clock.
• 4:37

  Speaker 1: media asking people, Hey, what would be the best way
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: for Indiana fans to find tickets to the game. Most

• 7:42
  Speaker 1: would take it.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Huh.
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: You could just park next to the stadium and have
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: a toad and pay the impound.
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: Fee and be cheaper.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Well, you could do that, or you could rent a limo.
• 7:53
  Speaker 9: Both of those things would be cheaper.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Both would be cheaper for sure. Uber, if it could
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: get me within say five blocks of the stadium, I
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: mean that one at the beggest. Yeah, but I think
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: they could do it. Uh, this stadium, if you've never
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: been by it, it's it's in far north Miami. It's
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in far south Fort Lauderdale. Basically right, it's on the freeway.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Not the prettiest area that Miami has to offer.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Arizona is acquiring eight time All Star infielder Nolan Aeronado
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: from the Cardinals. According to Jeff Passing at ESPN, Aeronato
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: has waived is no trade clause to complete the deal.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals receiving twenty twenty five eighth round pick Jack Martinez,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a right handed pitcher. They are paying thirty one of
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the forty two million dollars. Aeronado hit a career low
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: two thirty six last year with twelve homers and fifty
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: two ribbis. Only played in one hundred and seven games. Arizona,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: of course, wanting an Aeronado that's better than that Kansas
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: City Royals, according to Jeff Passon, expect it would have
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: announce major changes to the dimensions of Kaufman Stadium, moving
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the majority of their outfield fences in by ten feet
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to create a more hitter friendly environment that has long
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: been considered a pitchers ballpark. Years of discussion by the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: front office about tinkering with the dimensions at Kaufman Stadium,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a middle ground between the flyball dead zone and other
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: stadiums where home runs sore at extreme rates. GMJJ Piccolo
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: telling ESPN, we went a neutral ballpark. If you hit
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a ball well, it should be a home run. The
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: second they start feeling like they can't hit the ball
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: out of the ballpark, they start changing their swing.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: Interesting.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna take a break. Scott Clendenna will be
• 10:21

• 10:33
  Speaker 1: on Thursday, we'll have some animal attacks. You know that.

• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you with us on a Tuesday. We're gonna hear a
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: little bit from Kurt Signetti, the suddenly world famous coach
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: of Indiana. I would argue that even two years ago,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: maybe even after it was announced he was getting the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Indiana job, if people, I mean only the people in
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the state of Indiana cared about it, and the people
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: at James Madison where he was leaving, certainly cared about
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: it because he brought seventeen players and a bunch of
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: coaches with him and almost went to the playoffs with
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: James Madison when he was there, by the way.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: But now.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Just like that little bar it cheers. Everybody knows his name.
• 14:55
  Speaker 17: Excited to start our prep as a team. We staffed yesterday,
• 15:00
  Speaker 17: but we're with our players today. A huge challenge against
• 15:03
  Speaker 17: a great Miami team. Very impressive really in all three phases.
• 15:08
  Speaker 17: A lot of twitched up athletes, playing fast, playing with
• 15:11
  Speaker 17: a nasty edge. Coach Crystal Ball's done a great job,
• 15:15
  Speaker 17: you know. Offensively, Quarterback Carson Beck really playing well, receiving Corps,
• 15:22
  Speaker 17: impressive offensive line, veteran, impressive running back over eleven hundred yards. Defensively,
• 15:28
  Speaker 17: you know, really shutting people down, creating turnovers, creating havoc
• 15:32
  Speaker 17: up front. The two ends are a big challenge. Corey's
• 15:36
  Speaker 17: got him flying around and their teams are good, so
• 15:40
  Speaker 17: be a great challenge.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: Great.
• 15:46
  Speaker 18: We'll start with Scott Dockerman.
• 15:50
  Speaker 19: Hi, Hi, Kurt, this is Scott with the Athletic. I
• 15:54
  Speaker 19: wanted to ask you about retaining Bob Bostad. What went
• 15:59
  Speaker 19: into that decision and how much did you know about
• 16:01
  Speaker 19: Bob before you'd elected to keep him? And then what
• 16:04
  Speaker 19: were the conversations like as you built the offense because
• 16:08
  Speaker 19: you hadn't worked with him before, How was the conversations
• 16:11
  Speaker 19: built as to how you were going to work offensive
• 16:13
  Speaker 19: line with your passing structure in running structure.
• 16:17
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I think Bob Bostad was a key addition to
• 16:21
  Speaker 17: the staff. I had known his name for about ten
• 16:25
  Speaker 17: or twelve years and his reputation, and when I looked
• 16:30
  Speaker 17: sort of like who was still who was on the
• 16:33
  Speaker 17: roster in terms of the coaching staff last year, and
• 16:35
  Speaker 17: I saw that he had been the line coach that
• 16:38
  Speaker 17: excited me and I offered him, you know, the opportunity
• 16:42
  Speaker 17: to stay right away. And you know, I don't think
• 16:48
  Speaker 17: it took him real long to make a decision. And
• 16:52
  Speaker 17: you know, in terms of the transition with the offensive staff,
• 16:56
  Speaker 17: Mike Shanahan at the time, Tino Sincerity quarterback is John
• 17:00
  Speaker 17: Miller running back coach, Grant Caine tight end coach, had
• 17:02
  Speaker 17: all been with me at jam you and I'm involved
• 17:04
  Speaker 17: offensively in the meetings. You know, I think putting it
• 17:09
  Speaker 17: all together was really easy because Bob's a vet and uh,
• 17:13
  Speaker 17: you know, his philosophy in terms of the run game
• 17:16
  Speaker 17: was aligned with mine and Mike's. Uh, and then it
• 17:21
  Speaker 17: was just a matter of okay, past pro what work
• 17:24
  Speaker 17: calls be, how we're going to do it. You know
• 17:27
  Speaker 17: what five man, six man, seven man protections are we
• 17:30
  Speaker 17: going to carry? And uh, he's just done a tremendous job.
• 17:33
  Speaker 17: He's a great developer. Uh, you know, he he gets
• 17:37
  Speaker 17: a ton out of his guys. The whole becomes greater
• 17:40
  Speaker 17: than some of its parts. And we've been, uh, you know,
• 17:44
  Speaker 17: very consistent and very balanced between the run and the pass.
• 17:50
  Speaker 20: Great.
• 17:50
  Speaker 18: Next we will go to Brandon Marcelo. Brandon, Go ahead, Brandon,
• 18:02
  Speaker 18: go ahead, and I meet yourself.
• 18:07
  Speaker 20: There. You got me.
• 18:09
  Speaker 21: Sorry about that, coach, congrats on the success so far.
• 18:13
  Speaker 21: I was wondering, when you look at developing and coaching
• 18:16
  Speaker 21: players throughout the career, how different is a player, say
• 18:21
  Speaker 21: in year two, compared to say year four or even
• 18:24
  Speaker 21: year five when you're coaching.
• 18:26
  Speaker 17: Well, I think when you're talking about the high school signings,
• 18:29
  Speaker 17: they change a lot between their freshman year and their
• 18:32
  Speaker 17: their senior year. And now you know their developmental curve
• 18:36
  Speaker 17: is different. Every guy's a little bit different. Some come
• 18:39
  Speaker 17: in more ready to play than others. Some it takes
• 18:42
  Speaker 17: a while to mature physically. Some it's mental. But there's
• 18:47
  Speaker 17: no question about it that you know twenty two year
• 18:49
  Speaker 17: old is a little wiser, older, bigger, stronger. He'said four
• 18:55
  Speaker 17: years in the offense, defense or special teams, and you
• 18:59
  Speaker 17: know he's a more productive player.
• 19:02
  Speaker 21: How much has you think has helped your success here
• 19:05
  Speaker 21: in the early goings there in the first two years
• 19:07
  Speaker 21: that that you know a lot of the guys or
• 19:10
  Speaker 21: some of the guys are a little bit older that
• 19:12
  Speaker 21: can help bring along like second third year guys.
• 19:15
  Speaker 17: No, I think it helps us a ton. And but
• 19:17
  Speaker 17: that's what we would look for too. When I came,
• 19:21
  Speaker 17: you know, it was a quick process, a three day
• 19:23
  Speaker 17: hiring process. And when I got here, we had ten
• 19:27
  Speaker 17: offensive starters in a transfer portal and we had one
• 19:29
  Speaker 17: returner on defense. So we're down to forty scholarships, you know,
• 19:35
  Speaker 17: by day three, and so you know, we needed to
• 19:38
  Speaker 17: hit the portal hard. And you know, we signed twenty
• 19:42
  Speaker 17: two guys that had all been two three year starters
• 19:44
  Speaker 17: with consistent production. I knew we had flipped a roster.
• 19:48
  Speaker 17: And then every year, as you you know, as your
• 19:50
  Speaker 17: high school recruiting builds up, you know, you kind of
• 19:53
  Speaker 17: start to wean down a little bit from the portal.
• 19:57
  Speaker 17: H so you'll never be at a point where, uh,
• 20:00
  Speaker 17: you don't engage with the portal. And you know, this year,
• 20:04
  Speaker 17: we'll take a few less than we took last year,
• 20:06
  Speaker 17: and we took a few less last year and we
• 20:08
  Speaker 17: did the year before. But I think getting older, mature
• 20:11
  Speaker 17: guys that played a lot of football, if they got
• 20:15
  Speaker 17: the right stuff, which they're not. You know, I'm not
• 20:17
  Speaker 17: bringing them in if they don't. It's an asset.
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: Great knicks.
• 20:24
  Speaker 18: We'll go to Bill Bender.
• 20:25
  Speaker 22: Bill go ahead, Uh, coach, thanks for doing It's kind
• 20:32
  Speaker 22: of building off Brandon's question, what to you is that
• 20:36
  Speaker 22: perfect balance of guys in the transfer portal and then
• 20:41
  Speaker 22: guys that you have recruited, and and how you've been
• 20:43
  Speaker 22: able to develop all of that talent as you get
• 20:46
  Speaker 22: into the next couple of years with your program.
• 20:49
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I don't. I don't look at it that way.
• 20:51
  Speaker 17: I think in college football nowadays, you got to win
• 20:53
  Speaker 17: every year. Uh you know, with social media the way
• 20:56
  Speaker 17: it is, the pressure to be successful, you got to
• 21:00
  Speaker 17: put together a team that's ready to compete for championships
• 21:05
  Speaker 17: every single year. So now the more success you have,
• 21:10
  Speaker 17: the better You're going to recruit from the high school
• 21:13
  Speaker 17: ranks and those guys will develop and most of them
• 21:17
  Speaker 17: will red shirt, but some will play as a freshman.
• 21:20
  Speaker 17: You know, we're always going to bring in twenty give
• 21:24
  Speaker 17: or take one or two high school guys. I think
• 21:27
  Speaker 17: we brought in twenty three this year, and some of
• 21:31
  Speaker 17: those guys are ready to help us right away in
• 21:34
  Speaker 17: some capacity. But you know, the portal guys, you're bringing
• 21:40
  Speaker 17: them in because you have a critical need where you
• 21:43
  Speaker 17: have to fill a hole on your football team. So
• 21:47
  Speaker 17: you know, we've been successful doing it. College football's changed
• 21:51
  Speaker 17: a lot obviously still changing. You got to adapt, improvise,
• 21:55
  Speaker 17: be let on your feet, you know, if you're going
• 21:56
  Speaker 17: to survive. And that's where I think all that recruiting
• 22:00
  Speaker 17: coordinator experience I had in the past too, as well
• 22:02
  Speaker 17: as coaching, probably benefited me.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Great.
• 22:07
  Speaker 18: Now we'll go to the line of Andrea ails and
• 22:09
  Speaker 18: Andrea go ahead.
• 22:12
  Speaker 23: Hey, Kirk, thanks for doing this. Obviously we've all seen
• 22:16
  Speaker 23: the success you've had there since your arrival. But I'm
• 22:20
  Speaker 23: wondering what would you say to folks who think that
• 22:24
  Speaker 23: Indiana may still be a quote Cinderella story considering the
• 22:28
  Speaker 23: past history of the program.
• 22:31
  Speaker 17: Well, define Cinderella's story in the context of Indiana. I'm
• 22:35
  Speaker 17: not quite sure what you mean by that.
• 22:37
  Speaker 23: A team that has risen up despite the past that
• 22:42
  Speaker 23: shows there has not been a lot of winning tradition.
• 22:46
  Speaker 17: Well, I think that's a fact if you look at
• 22:49
  Speaker 17: the record since Indiana started playing football, and relative to
• 22:54
  Speaker 17: success we've had the last two years, we've broken a
• 22:58
  Speaker 17: lot of records here in in terms of wins, championships,
• 23:02
  Speaker 17: postseason games, top ten wins on the road, et cetera,
• 23:05
  Speaker 17: top ten wins period and so you know, it's been
• 23:11
  Speaker 17: kind of surreal Uh, but you know, you get it
• 23:14
  Speaker 17: done with the right people properly led, and you got
• 23:17
  Speaker 17: to have a blueprint, plan process. You got to the
• 23:21
  Speaker 17: right people on your staff and the right people in
• 23:23
  Speaker 17: the locker room. And we've been fortunate to have great
• 23:27
  Speaker 17: staff continuity, you know, with Bryant and Mike have been
• 23:30
  Speaker 17: with me eleven twelve years, and a lot of other
• 23:32
  Speaker 17: guys on staff five, six, seven years. And then down
• 23:36
  Speaker 17: you know, in the locker room, we got a lot
• 23:37
  Speaker 17: of older guys that have high character, great leadership traits.
• 23:42
  Speaker 17: They then buy into the team vision. They're very consistent
• 23:45
  Speaker 17: day in day out in terms of, you know, being
• 23:49
  Speaker 17: committed and disciplined and working hard toward improvement, staying focused
• 23:54
  Speaker 17: on the goal, keeping the eye on the bullseye, so
• 23:56
  Speaker 17: to speak, and you know, being able to sort of
• 24:01
  Speaker 17: enter every Saturday prepared with the right mindset and then
• 24:05
  Speaker 17: putting it on the field. So it's all about people.
• 24:09
  Speaker 17: And then you've got to have a blueprint in a
• 24:10
  Speaker 17: plan and I think you know, there's no question about it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 17: That's what's gotten us to this point.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 24:19
  Speaker 18: Now go to the line of Zachary Osterman.
• 24:21
  Speaker 24: Zach, go ahead, Kert, I'm curious, and I suspect I know,
• 24:27
  Speaker 24: at least to some extent, the answer to this question.
• 24:28
  Speaker 24: But you've been, you know, kind of in championship game settings.
• 24:32
  Speaker 24: You know, your dad was in them, you were in
• 24:34
  Speaker 24: them as an assistant, you've been in them, you know,
• 24:35
  Speaker 24: kind of as a head coach. Like, do you change
• 24:37
  Speaker 24: anything approaching a game like this at all? Or do
• 24:41
  Speaker 24: you almost sort of reinforce the extent to which nothing
• 24:44
  Speaker 24: changes in a game like this from your experience.
• 24:47
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean, we've got to prepare for this game
• 24:49
  Speaker 17: no different than we prepared for a High State and Alabama.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 24:55
  Speaker 17: The biggest mistake our guys can make, and that I'll
• 24:59
  Speaker 17: talk to them tonight team meeting about this is making
• 25:02
  Speaker 17: this game bigger than it is. And you know, going
• 25:06
  Speaker 17: down that road then that would be detrimental, you know,
• 25:11
  Speaker 17: to our preparation and our performance. This week is no
• 25:16
  Speaker 17: different than any other week. We have to be on point,
• 25:19
  Speaker 17: we have to stack meetings, practices and going totally prepared.
• 25:24
  Speaker 17: But then you got to put it on the field,
• 25:26
  Speaker 17: you know, against a great opponent.
• 25:31
  Speaker 18: Great, we'll go to the line of Jeff Rabjohn's Jeff,
• 25:33
  Speaker 18: go ahead, Hey, coach, thanks for your time.
• 25:39
  Speaker 25: I wanted to get your thoughts on your defense. Three
• 25:41
  Speaker 25: postseason wins, all three over top ten teams, only thirty
• 25:45
  Speaker 25: five points allowed, only twenty eight outside of garbage time,
• 25:48
  Speaker 25: twenty five TFLs, eleven for eleven sacks. What do you
• 25:52
  Speaker 25: think of the level of impact your defense is proving
• 25:55
  Speaker 25: they can play at in the postseason specifically.
• 25:59
  Speaker 17: Well, you know we're excellent against the High State Alabama
• 26:02
  Speaker 17: against the o'regon uh. You know, we created three turnovers
• 26:06
  Speaker 17: and blocked the punt which was four led to twenty
• 26:08
  Speaker 17: one points. And you know it starts with Brian Haynes.
• 26:12
  Speaker 17: He's the leader of the defense, and you know he
• 26:16
  Speaker 17: goes in with a good plan and puts our guys
• 26:18
  Speaker 17: in position to attack and make plays. But then the
• 26:22
  Speaker 17: credit goes to the guys on the field. You know,
• 26:26
  Speaker 17: leader of the defense is Aiden Fisher, but every unit
• 26:29
  Speaker 17: has its leaders, and it all starts up front with
• 26:32
  Speaker 17: you know, stopping a run and affecting the quarterback. And
• 26:36
  Speaker 17: you know, turnover ratio is huge, getting the takeaways and
• 26:39
  Speaker 17: then limiting the explosive plays and good and critical situations.
• 26:43
  Speaker 17: So and you know we're playing a little shorthanded, you know,
• 26:47
  Speaker 17: We've lost some guys that were valuable contributors, but you know,
• 26:52
  Speaker 17: it's been the next man up mentality, like Daniel naduke
• 26:56
  Speaker 17: Way who made a couple of big plays in that game,
• 26:58
  Speaker 17: blocked the punt. Also, you know that there hasn't we
• 27:03
  Speaker 17: haven't skipped the beat, so to speak. Now there were
• 27:06
  Speaker 17: a few more clean up plays coming out of the
• 27:08
  Speaker 17: Oregon game than the other games, partly because of the conflict.
• 27:12
  Speaker 17: Oregon can put you in offensively with tight ends that
• 27:16
  Speaker 17: run like receivers and spread you out and create some
• 27:19
  Speaker 17: throne lanes. But you know, you got to be great.
• 27:23
  Speaker 17: You've got to be really consistent all three phases to
• 27:25
  Speaker 17: be successful, and I think that's what this team has been.
• 27:30
  Speaker 17: We've been pretty consistent on offense, defense, and special teams,
• 27:34
  Speaker 17: and for the most part, you know, we've played at
• 27:38
  Speaker 17: a high level from play one to one fifty, regardless
• 27:41
  Speaker 17: of the competitive circumstances.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: You know, this was like class one on one with
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Kurt Signetti if you want to know how he builds
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: teams and what he does once he has them, And
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: that's that's pretty good fifteen minutes right there. You know, Hey,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: if I'm an up and coming coach, or if I'm
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: a coach that's been a while around a while. I
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: want to know what this guy's doing. I want to
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: know how he is doing it. I want to know
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: his thought process right that he is going through. You know,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: how many transfer guys? How many high school guys? Now
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I've heard him a little bit before on the kind
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: of guys he's looking at. He said, the kind of
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: guys he looked at and went and got in the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: transfer portal. He didn't get guys who had quote potential.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: He got guys who already had stats. He didn't really
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: care what level of football they were playing. He took
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: guys you know below D one. It's like, no, this
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: guy had fifty four catches last year, so he can
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: catch the football. I already know that. I can see
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: the stats. You know, whatever this guy is doing right
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: now is working. Now, I get it. It's sports. He's
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: the flavor of the day. He loses Monday night, it's
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: all gone away. It's like, hey, we don't remember what
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: you did. We don't care what you did. You didn't
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: want to ring. Hey, great season with a you know,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: a horrible historical program, but you know, let's move on.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: In fact, Mario Christobal, he's going to take your place
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: speaking at the Coaches Clinics in February. That's just you know,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: that's how it works. But I'm just telling you what
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: this guy has done. And to watch this team. If
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: you like the intricacies, if you want to see what
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: a really, really well coached sports team looks like, you
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: need to study this because I don't know everything that
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: this guy's doing, but he has punched every button, every button,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and I do think that it will culminate in him
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: getting a ring on Monday night. Hey Gallery has been
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: part of our community for well over thirty years. They
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: have a reputation here locally, and that's one of class,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: one of consistency. One that when you know you walk
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: into one of their spas, you are going to get
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: treated well, and you're going to get treated well by
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: people who absolutely know what they they're doing and want
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: to make your experience as good as possible. You can't
• 30:50

• 30:54

• 33:30
  Speaker 7: coach of the A and M Consolidated girls basketball team,
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: Miss Wendy Hines, Coach, how are you.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: Doing today, I'm doing all great. How are you doing.
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: I'm doing good. Thank you for joining me. Let's go
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: ahead and start by looking at the loss to College Station,
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: just coming off of that on Tuesday.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: I know that's always a hard fought game between the
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: two rivals, and especially after beating them in the tournament.
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: Earlier last week. So what were some of your takeaways
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: from that loss.
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, basically, when the ball didn't go in,
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: you know, it's it's hard to win.
• 34:04
  Speaker 20: Uh, we did not shoot the ball. Well, Uh, they
• 34:07
  Speaker 20: had they they played a great game. Not take anything
• 34:10
  Speaker 20: away from them. They did have a good game plan
• 34:13
  Speaker 20: and and like I said, with our balls were not following.
• 34:15
  Speaker 20: We were not good from the free throw line. It's
• 34:18
  Speaker 20: only lose by four, and like I said, shot pretty
• 34:22
  Speaker 20: pretty bad.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: You know, we could we could build on that, That's
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: that's for sure.
• 34:27
  Speaker 20: But yeah, anytime you lose, especially to your rival, you know,
• 34:31
  Speaker 20: it's not a fun thing.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: So maybe we should have talked yesterday instead of today.
• 34:34
  Speaker 20: But yeah, but other than that, Yeah, like I said,
• 34:38
  Speaker 20: just just got to get back.
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: On the horse and and and get better as we go.
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: Now zooming out a little bit, looking at the bigger
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: picture of the season so far, sitting at twelve and
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: eight on the year.
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: So what are your thoughts from the first twenty games
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: of the season.
• 34:57
  Speaker 20: Well, like I said, we're like I said, we're young.
• 34:59
  Speaker 20: Just try to get all that chemistry together and so forth.
• 35:02
  Speaker 20: We play some really tough teams and some tournaments and
• 35:06
  Speaker 20: and I do that on purpose to help us with
• 35:08
  Speaker 20: this district because it's it's just a battle every night.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: You never know on any given.
• 35:12
  Speaker 20: Night who's gonna be there, who's gonna show up, who
• 35:16
  Speaker 20: not get beat.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: It's like I said, it's a tough district.
• 35:19
  Speaker 20: So I I mean, I'm happy where we as far
• 35:23
  Speaker 20: as up till last night, where we've been. It's a
• 35:27
  Speaker 20: tough four games for us in a row, starting with
• 35:30
  Speaker 20: last night. So yeah, we got a battle, but I'm
• 35:34
  Speaker 20: not I'm not.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: We're not in a bad place is as far as
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: that goes. We just gotta settle down and put our
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: shots in and and build on that. But other than that,
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: I think we're okay.
• 35:47
  Speaker 20: Like I said, we're we're We don't have flashy players
• 35:51
  Speaker 20: or anything like that I would say, but we just
• 35:54
  Speaker 20: we work.
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: And last night there was a time where you know,
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: our defense.
• 35:59
  Speaker 20: Was it where we're needed to be and and you
• 36:01
  Speaker 20: know we hang her hat on that, so you know,
• 36:02
  Speaker 20: you can't have those moments and especially not a quarter's worth.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: So but overall, overall we're gonna be okay.
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: And you mentioned pretty young team this year lost I
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: think five seniors from last season squad. So who are
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: some of the young ladies that have stepped up to
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: fill those vacancies.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you've got you know, Kisey Couch, she's a freshman.
• 36:26
  Speaker 20: You got Cameron she's a sophomore. Kyla Watson, she's a junior,
• 36:30
  Speaker 20: but she played JV last year. Uh, you know, we
• 36:33
  Speaker 20: lost her point guard and so that's always a tough position,
• 36:37
  Speaker 20: you know, to to uh to build back up. Chloe
• 36:41
  Speaker 20: Lockett's been trying to fill that role. She's not a
• 36:44
  Speaker 20: natural you know, point guard, but she's been trying to
• 36:47
  Speaker 20: do what she can do with that. And so those
• 36:51
  Speaker 20: are my young ones. I got a couple of juniors
• 36:53
  Speaker 20: that that played a little bit of both last year
• 36:56
  Speaker 20: j V and varsity that come off a bitch and
• 36:58
  Speaker 20: give us a spark. So I do have a couple
• 37:02
  Speaker 20: of seniors. I five seniors again this year. Uh Rachel
• 37:08
  Speaker 20: Moran is is Uh. She she was really solid last night.
• 37:11
  Speaker 20: She had twenty three and I said, she's just an
• 37:14
  Speaker 20: undersized post. But those are my young ones that are
• 37:17
  Speaker 20: that are trying to, you know, get it done and
• 37:19
  Speaker 20: figure it out.
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: And you mentioned in the midst of a tough, you know,
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: four game stretch with district played Friday night taking on
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: Brenham at home, what you expect to see from the Cubs.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: They're better this year. They they've got a new little
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: point guard. She's a freshman as well.
• 37:40
  Speaker 20: And I say they you know, Huntsville beat them, I
• 37:42
  Speaker 20: think by six last night, so as Huntsville.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: So I said, any given night, it's it's.
• 37:50
  Speaker 20: Exciting, there's no doubt, I guess as a fan, not
• 37:54
  Speaker 20: as a coach, but uh, you just never know what
• 37:57
  Speaker 20: you're gonna get.
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: It's like a box of chocolates, but it really is.
• 38:02
  Speaker 20: But yeah, they're gonna be scrappy, they're gonna be tough
• 38:05
  Speaker 20: and so forth.
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: So like I say, they've definitely gotten better.
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: And including that game, there's seven regular season games left
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: on the schedule before hopefully getting the playoffs. So what
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: are your goals and expectations for your squad in these
• 38:23
  Speaker 7: this final home stretch of the season.
• 38:25
  Speaker 20: We just got to take one game at a time,
• 38:27
  Speaker 20: you know, just handle business, you know, one game.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: At a time. We know every night's tough, so wherever
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: you play at home or or away, and so.
• 38:35
  Speaker 20: We just got to make sure that we're taking care
• 38:37
  Speaker 20: of our business, not letting things sneak up on us,
• 38:41
  Speaker 20: teams sneak up on us, unless it's just not getting
• 38:43
  Speaker 20: it done. We can't have games like we did last night,
• 38:46
  Speaker 20: where we missed you know, I don't know, seven, I
• 38:49
  Speaker 20: don't know, we miss a lot of free throws and so,
• 38:55
  Speaker 20: you know, and lose by four, so that that that
• 38:56
  Speaker 20: leaves a bad taste in your mouth. So we can't
• 38:59
  Speaker 20: we just can't do that. We're not a team that's
• 39:01
  Speaker 20: going to need to leave any points on the floor.
• 39:04
  Speaker 20: And so just one game at a time and taking
• 39:07
  Speaker 20: care of business one quarter at a time.
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: All right, Well, coach, I appreciate your time today and
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: we wish you up throughout the rest of the seasons.
• 39:16

  Speaker 4: little bit more of an elevated role here. What has
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: he been like as a coach so far and what
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: does he bring to the program.
• 48:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Troy's great. He's a players coach. He's fresh out
• 48:45
  Speaker 9: of playing obviously, and just the way he's able to
• 48:48
  Speaker 9: relate to all of us and kind of, you know,
• 48:50
  Speaker 9: give us, give us those little those little inside point
• 48:52
  Speaker 9: of views. It's it's been phenomenal. I love Troy, but yeah,
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: he's been great.
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: The coach said it wasn't a stream inclined to get
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: back when you had to deal.
• 49:02
  Speaker 14: With some valleys in there.
• 49:03
  Speaker 33: What did that you know, did was that good for you?
• 49:07
  Speaker 14: Or how is a challenge?
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: And now being at the point where you're at where
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: everything is back together.
• 49:12
  Speaker 9: Yeah, obviously the past year has been tough. Ups and
• 49:14
  Speaker 9: downs injuried never is easy for any athlete, But yeah,
• 49:19
  Speaker 9: I mean every athlete needs adversity, and that's the biggest
• 49:21
  Speaker 9: one I've faced obviously in my career so far. But yeah, again,
• 49:25
  Speaker 9: I've had a bunch of people on my side in
• 49:28
  Speaker 9: my corner helping me out through the whole thing, and
• 49:30
  Speaker 9: I'm just blessed to be where I am right now.
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: Couch spoke about how you did a bunch of work
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: behind the scenes with your dad in order to get
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: back to where you are now.
• 49:37
  Speaker 9: So what did that look like and what is that
• 49:38
  Speaker 9: relationship gone off the field?
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: Though?
• 49:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah, when I'm back home, it's it's always been me
• 49:45
  Speaker 9: and my dad when it comes to like baseball side
• 49:46
  Speaker 9: of things. Just having a coach in the household at
• 49:49
  Speaker 9: all times is it can be good and can be
• 49:51
  Speaker 9: difficult at times. We've obviously h we've matured together in
• 49:54
  Speaker 9: the household though that's on the field or off the field,
• 49:58
  Speaker 9: but no, our relationships phenomenal with my dad. It's always
• 50:00
  Speaker 9: been there for me, always been the guy that I
• 50:02
  Speaker 9: have gone to for questions, information I've ever needed. So yeah,
• 50:06
  Speaker 9: I'm very I'm very thankful and very blessed to have
• 50:08
  Speaker 9: that every single day to my use.
• 50:10
  Speaker 14: So what does the work look like with him?
• 50:14
  Speaker 9: And it's pretty similar as it always is, just being consistent.
• 50:17
  Speaker 9: He's always on me about being consistent, always be in
• 50:19
  Speaker 9: the right head space. He's really big on the mental
• 50:21
  Speaker 9: side of the game. So when when I'm home, it's
• 50:23
  Speaker 9: really focusing on how can I be the best version
• 50:25
  Speaker 9: of myself every time I step in that box, every
• 50:27
  Speaker 9: time I step in between those lines. That's his biggest
• 50:30
  Speaker 9: thing and always has been, just go out there and
• 50:32
  Speaker 9: play hard.
• 50:32
  Speaker 14: Out When was the first time you felt.
• 50:36
  Speaker 25: Yourself?
• 50:36
  Speaker 9: Oh man, it's been a couple months now. I think
• 50:38
  Speaker 9: when I first got back out here and was full
• 50:40
  Speaker 9: practice is kind of when I started feeling my best. Obviously,
• 50:43
  Speaker 9: towards the end of the fall, I kind of started
• 50:44
  Speaker 9: feeling mid season for him, almost, which was a very
• 50:47
  Speaker 9: nice feeling. Haven't felt that in a while. So, yeah,
• 50:51
  Speaker 9: it's been a good couple of months, good, good gradual
• 50:53
  Speaker 9: build up and obviously now seasons here, so just focused
• 50:56
  Speaker 9: on getting on that field and playing hard every day.
• 50:58
  Speaker 35: See you maybe had a chance to look back at
• 51:00
  Speaker 35: the fall and totality, just what was your biggest takeaway
• 51:04
  Speaker 35: from the team as y'all grew and just progressed and
• 51:07
  Speaker 35: kind of the way you thought of that time.
• 51:09
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think we're a young team. We had a
• 51:12
  Speaker 9: lot of young guys, a lot of good talent. I
• 51:14
  Speaker 9: think it's been a lot of maturity, especially from you know,
• 51:17
  Speaker 9: just how we've showed up every single day, the work
• 51:19
  Speaker 9: we put in the mindset everyone has. We know we're
• 51:22
  Speaker 9: gonna work hard when we step on that field. Coach
• 51:23
  Speaker 9: Early has made that a standard, and also older guys
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: have made it a point to hold that standard. And
• 51:28
  Speaker 9: I think everyone's done a great job of doing their
• 51:31
  Speaker 9: role and holding their holding their end of that.
• 51:33
  Speaker 35: What do you think of healthy Gavin Groovac brings to
• 51:36
  Speaker 35: the table both at the.
• 51:37
  Speaker 9: Play and in the field. I guess we'll find out. Uh,
• 51:41
  Speaker 9: I don't know, man, I'm excited to be back out there.
• 51:43
  Speaker 9: I think that's the only thing that's the only way
• 51:45
  Speaker 9: I can answer that. There's no specific way of answering
• 51:48
  Speaker 9: that because you never know. But no, I'm excited. I
• 51:52
  Speaker 9: think a healthy version will be an excited, exciting version.
• 51:55
  Speaker 19: So early said, you took some live at bats with
• 51:59
  Speaker 19: Shan Sedale he's coming back from injury to just kind
• 52:02
  Speaker 19: of what were those sessions, like, you know what is Shane?
• 52:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Shane. Shane's a competitor, man. We've always during live abs,
• 52:08
  Speaker 9: we've always competed pretty well, We've always laughed. Is we
• 52:11
  Speaker 9: always had the longest hat bats against each other. But again,
• 52:14
  Speaker 9: that just goes to two guys competing in one on
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: one in the box and on the mound. But I'm
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: excited to see Shane back out there on the mound.
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: Decided to play defense behind him and then watch him
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: get those hitters out. How good to see just the
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: health of this team.
• 52:27
  Speaker 34: Uh, you know you're coming back today, coming back and
• 52:30
  Speaker 34: and how frustrating was having.
• 52:32
  Speaker 8: So many injuries last year.
• 52:33
  Speaker 9: Uh, it's I mean, obviously it's frustrating, but there's only
• 52:36
  Speaker 9: so much you can do about it. In the moment.
• 52:38
  Speaker 9: The best thing you can do is be the best teammate,
• 52:40
  Speaker 9: be the best guy in the dugout, be there for
• 52:42
  Speaker 9: your guys, be there for the coaches whenever they need
• 52:44
  Speaker 9: you to be that middleman. But yeah, I'm excited for
• 52:47
  Speaker 9: for what we have going this year. I'm super excited
• 52:49
  Speaker 9: about the guys, super excited about how they're showing up
• 52:52
  Speaker 9: every single day with the same mindset. We all have
• 52:55
  Speaker 9: one goal and we all want to win a championship
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: here and you know, hopefully we got there and show that.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: You know, Stewart talked about using the fall as a
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: way to put last year behind and kind of using
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: a clean slate as a leader here.
• 53:06
  Speaker 14: You have the similar mentality. What's the chip you carry
• 53:09
  Speaker 14: on your shoulder if at all from last season?
• 53:11
  Speaker 20: Yeah?
• 53:11
  Speaker 9: Man, I mean last year was last year. It is
• 53:13
  Speaker 9: what it is every years and New year for any team,
• 53:15
  Speaker 9: whether you did good or whether you did bad. So
• 53:18
  Speaker 9: of course we have a chip on our shoulder. But
• 53:21
  Speaker 9: that's how you should play every single game. You never
• 53:22
  Speaker 9: know that last one is going to be. So that's
• 53:25
  Speaker 9: how I view it. You take you you go out
• 53:26
  Speaker 9: there and you take advantage of every second you have
• 53:28
  Speaker 9: out there, and you know, you'd be grateful for every
• 53:31
  Speaker 9: time you to step on the in between those lines.
• 53:33
  Speaker 9: That's just my perspective on it. I think everyone has
• 53:35
  Speaker 9: that same perspective now, just kind of watching how everyone's performing.
• 53:39
  Speaker 14: Like I said, he's kind of back more in the
• 53:40
  Speaker 14: cage as fallout.
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: What have you seen his approach to coaching, especially with
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: the hitters, Maybe change your two not much.
• 53:48
  Speaker 9: I mean, coach Early has been one of the best
• 53:50
  Speaker 9: hitting coaches in college baseball for quite some years now,
• 53:53
  Speaker 9: so he really brings a lot to the table. He
• 53:56
  Speaker 9: keeps it super simple for us. He never presses too
• 54:00
  Speaker 9: art on guys to make big, big changes, big adjustments,
• 54:02
  Speaker 9: whatever it is. And you know he he wants to
• 54:05
  Speaker 9: be there for you as much as he wants to
• 54:06
  Speaker 9: be for anyone else. So obviously there's a difference between
• 54:08
  Speaker 9: hitting coach and head coach, but we know when those
• 54:11
  Speaker 9: times are different.
• 54:12
  Speaker 14: Does it feel like he's in the cage maybe a
• 54:14
  Speaker 14: little bit more this this year?
• 54:15
  Speaker 20: Oh?
• 54:15
  Speaker 9: Absolutely, absolutely.
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 54:16
  Speaker 9: He's been around you know, a lot more, especially just
• 54:19
  Speaker 9: on like the mechanical side of things, just paying a
• 54:21
  Speaker 9: lot of attention. I mean not saying he didn't, but
• 54:23
  Speaker 9: you know what I mean, Like just he he's back
• 54:26
  Speaker 9: in his old his old group. I would say, how
• 54:28
  Speaker 9: would you maybe.
• 54:29
  Speaker 35: Just describe what you're seeing from the batting order in
• 54:33
  Speaker 35: totality is you'd kind of take a note of what
• 54:35
  Speaker 35: guys are kind of bringing to the play.
• 54:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, we got a good lineup one through nine, no
• 54:40
  Speaker 9: matter who's in it. We got a lot of depth,
• 54:43
  Speaker 9: which is super exciting. I know on the infield side
• 54:45
  Speaker 9: of things, we have a lot of guys who can
• 54:47
  Speaker 9: get their foot in the door. And you know, that's
• 54:49
  Speaker 9: what this time is, during this spring period, just you
• 54:52
  Speaker 9: fight for a position and we all know that we're
• 54:54
  Speaker 9: all competing against one another, but at the same time,
• 54:55
  Speaker 9: we're a team. So you push guys to be the
• 54:57
  Speaker 9: best version of themselves and that's how you form you
• 55:00
  Speaker 9: this lineup.
• 55:01
