00:04All right, truly an honor to be here today.
00:06It's, you know, you fast forward, it's year five for us here at Oregon and year three in the Big
00:11Ten.
00:12So being a part of this conference has been unbelievable.
00:15I told our players the other day, sat down with a few of them.
00:17I said, I want you to think back to 365 days ago and what's different about you today than where
00:23you're at today.
00:24You know, right now in this moment, what's different than 365 days ago?
00:27And I think you see a lot of differences in our team, a lot of differences that we get to
00:31be a part of.
00:32But first, I want to thank you guys for the job you do covering our conference, covering our team.
00:36It's certainly an honor to get to be at a place like Oregon.
00:40A lot of that starts with, you know, our administration.
00:42It starts with President Schultz.
00:44It starts with Rob Mullins and our relationship working together.
00:47And it's been a lot of fun working with Tony Petitti and seeing the work that he does for our
00:51conference.
00:51He's a guy that really shares a voice for our conference.
00:55And I think that's obviously shown over time here with how the Big Tens competed over time.
01:01Very excited about this season.
01:03I really like the work that our guys have put in.
01:05You know, walking in this year, what's different from last year.
01:08Obviously, we have some great returning players that have been big contributors to our program.
01:13One thing that I recognize is last year I felt like we had a team that had a ton of
01:17talent.
01:18This year I feel like we have a team that has a lot of experience returning.
01:20A lot of those young players that played are now guys that have also had great experience.
01:26And I'm excited to see what that looks like.
