00:00You just mentioned that three-game road trip.
00:02It seems like it was pretty grueling.
00:03What do you think they took from that experience?
00:05I think, one, just we have, you know, you're able to bond a lot more.
00:10You know, we went and practiced at the Timberwolves practice site,
00:14and then they got to hang out in there.
00:16We went to a Timberwolves game.
00:20We were supposed to go to the Vikings practice site,
00:23and I canceled it because I thought they were just tired at that point
00:26and didn't need to drive the 38 minutes to the practice site.
00:31But I do think from a bonding standpoint,
00:33you're able to do that in the middle of the year when you're out on the run.
00:36You know, because we were in Minnesota Monday night, Tuesday night,
00:38Wednesday night, Thursday night, and played Friday.
00:40So we had four off nights, which gave us a chance to go have team meals together.
00:46And we needed that after getting our butts kicked at Michigan and Michigan State.
00:51We needed kind of a rejuvenation, and were we going to hang our heads
00:56or were we going to, you know, come out of that road trip with a win?
01:00But it was a tough trip, and, you know, if I had my say,
01:05I'd rather go play five games in 11 days than three games in nine.
01:10So I hope they're listening, and next year we can go play five
01:14and knock it out like an NBA team.
01:17They're not going to listen to me, but I would love it if they did.
