hi everyone and welcome to another episode of the teaching journeys podcast i'm your host dave roberts and today it is my pleasure to have as my guest ron klappenstein ron is an adjunct professor at utica university he has taught for several years in the utica school system he's an activist in the utica new york community aligning himself along with his husband jim hale with many different social causes He also is the host of Hot Seat Media Monday, which is a live video podcast, which can also be found on Apple and Spotify and the other podcast platforms.

And I had the pleasure of being a guest on Hot Seat Media Monday.

And as is in the business, Ron, we always do podcast exchanges.

And the Red Dragons defense really set the tone in this game, Pat.

The first four drives for Utica went three and out, three and out, three and a fumble, and then a punt blocked.

The first four drives for Cortland, Pat, was 12 plays, 61 yards, ending in an Ethan Gallo touchdown.

Two plays, 77 yards, ending in an Ethan Gallo touchdown.

Then they had off the punt block a three-play 18-yard drive, which ended with an Ethan Gallo touchdown.

Stop me if you've heard that before.

It was 21-0 before Utica had a first down in this game.

And the gap was just too much to come back from there.

Well, thank you for sharing that.

And y- you know, you, you made a great point is, you know, and I, I talk to my students at Utica University, and one of the things we talk about-

[clears throat]

... is the, the difference between belief expansion and belief substitution.

He only coached the first 56 games and he only won 20 of them.

But for most of the 1980s, he was the head coach at Utica College.

Now here's another thing that Costello was known for as a coach.

He brought new innovation to the NBA.

I couldn't imagine.

You know, it's interesting because, you know, I tell my students at Utica University, just because you marry the love of your life doesn't automatically make you a great parent.

There's a different set of skills that you need.

And you also need to be aware of each other's histories coming into the relationship.

So excited for viewers to listen to it.

You know, I had a little like alumni golf outing through Utica University.

You know, the men's basketball team had an alumni golf outing over there in Utica.

So yeah.
