00:00What do the practices at the Coliseum bring out in the guys? Do you
00:03strategically plan like when you're going to go to the Coliseum? Like what's
00:07that planning? Yeah, we do. Yeah, we do. So before the entire spring practice
00:10lays out, we look at, we get obviously, you know, days it's available slash makes
00:14sense for us because obviously we've got a long commute, but you know, time is
00:18important. Obviously when we're going in the morning, these guys got classes in
00:21the afternoon. So we look at the days that we can do it, make sure it's days
00:25that they can host us. And yeah, and then I think do we, we certainly cater
00:31their practices a little bit differently. You know, one, you're just working with
00:34one field. Two, obviously you're getting to work with kind of game clocks, sound
00:39system, kind of all of that. So we try to get some of the scrimmaging and some of
00:44the more live periods done in there. And then, yeah, I mean, I think there's part
00:48of it of, you know, taking pride in where you play and creating that sense of
00:53pride within every single player in this program, you know, that when we walk in
00:57the Coliseum, whether it's a practice, whether it's a game that we walk in there
01:00with the right mentality, you know, we were able to win every single game in
01:03that place last year. That's really important to us to be a great team. You
01:06have to take care of home and to take care of home, you better have a pride
01:10about when you walk in your own stadium, the way that you're going to prepare
01:12and play. And so that's something that we try to instill in these guys from day
01:15one.
