But can you talk about that a little bit more, about some of your, your alumni, the, the folks who are routinely back, and kind of bridging and connecting with your for- the former players, the current players, and just the program in general?

Yeah.

You know, I, I think one of the fantastic selling points of our university is the location that it's in and the infrastructure that's in place for people to actually build lives and careers here.

We've had lots of guys that go on to play professionally, and that takes them to different places.

But at the end of the day, this is a fantastic u- university where, you know, it's ready-made for after college.

There's lots of opportunity there.

You know, I- so a lot of our alumni have, have made that decision to stay in the area, have been extremely successful that way.

What can they expect from that West Vir- West Virginia team and their style?

I mean, obviously the match, we'll talk about that some more, but let's talk about all the other stuff around the match as well.

First, shout out to the people inside the admin building.

We had the opportunity to have the parachute crew from the Naval Academy come in.

They were supposed to be doing it at football on Saturday.

We got the practice run, which then turned out to be the actual run because of the conditions on Saturday.

But there were so many people.

I think the buzz about the game...

Obviously those types of guys like George and Chapo have an impact there, but talk to us about like, how different that locker room is now that this is happening because last year you let things snowball like it's easy to see when things go bad how it can get bad fast yeah

Talk to us about this game and kind of how it unfolded for those of us that had to work and couldn't really lock in and focus.

Yeah, look, really interesting game.

Obviously, play on Friday night.

You got to get refocused again over the weekend for a Monday afternoon game at 3 o'clock.

You know, new facility up there and, you know, new pitch, hard pitch.

You know, just a lot of things that are sort of unusual, you know, to it.

And I talked to the guys at the weekend about having an edge and finding the edge because they were in the exact same boat.

Talk to us about South Carolina's play style and what we can expect to see from them on Friday night.
