Hey, Dick, you know what today is? What is today?
7
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:22.199
Dave day?
8
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:26.079
One of the Big Tenay for you, Dub and for

00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.760
Heather Tar they are now officially members of the Big

Ten Conference.
11
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:33.479
My god, how about this?
12
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.439
The head coach of your Husky softball team joins us
13
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.560
right now to talk about being members of the Big
14
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:40.719
fricking ten.
15
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:41.679
Coach, how are you?
16
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:44.920
I'm doing good, Thanks for having me on.
17
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.119
Oh God, I can't process all this. I just can't.
18
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.159
I mean, for somebody like you that grew up here
19
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.280
in this area, Purple and Gold, the Hallway, West Coast
20
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:56.240
Pac ten PAC twelve, give me your thoughts on just
21
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.479
the brain buster, the brain scrambler that all this has
22
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.399
been for you and now in the Big Ten officially today.
23
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.920
Yeah, I think for the last what hasn't been like
24
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.359
the last year months? Yeah, Okay, I got it right.
25
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.159
Last twelve months, I've been somewhat in denial because until
26
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.359
it really happens, you're like, okay, well, I think just
27
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.959
seeing the big ten logos on our backstop the other day,
28
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.040
I was like, all right, this is no joke. It's real.
29
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.560
So it is a little bit different, I think geographically,
30
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.879
so to speak, like that's the biggest thing for me personally,
31
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.519
But I think it's just because what we're used to,
32
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.000
Like we're used to aligning ourselves up and down a
33
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.519
west coast without a time zone change. So it's like
34
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.439
that's what's abnormal to me. It's going to work itself
35
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.760
out and it's going to be awesome. But the interim,
36
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.159
like you said, all of us from around here were
37
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:48.319
probably a little bit mind blown.
38
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.640
Well, the last time we had you on a couple
39
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.439
months ago, I mean there was obviously some frustrations. You
40
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.400
were raw at that time, and we had a good
41
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.680
conversation with you. Have some of those frustrations been lessened
42
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.000
compared to when you were on the last time with us.
43
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.640
I mean, I think anybody that's competitive gets over things
44
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.920
pretty quickly, you know, Like you can get upset, you
45
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.879
can have your feelings about it, but then you're just like,
46
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.439
all right, recover. So I feel like at this point
47
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.280
we're just in all right, let's go mode. I'm excited
48
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.560
for the football season. I'm excited for the fall sports
49
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.240
at Washington to kind of pilot this whole process. But
50
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.000
now it's like kind of exciting. I mean, you look
51
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.000
forward to a lot of the opportunities that we get
52
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.680
to see in our football schedule. Specifically, So on my
53
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.439
birthday October fifth, you dub host Michigan and football.
54
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.560
That's pretty cool. That'd be a good present for you.
55
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.599
That'd be a good twenty eighth birthday present for Heather
56
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.319
Tars looking forward to that.
57
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.080
But coach, yeah, I'm not gonna admit how old I
58
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:46.520
am on that day.
59
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:48.800
Listen, Yeah, all of us are with you, all right,
60
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:50.960
We're all with you on that, but Heather tars with us.
61
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.560
And you know, a lot has been made about to travel, right,
62
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:55.719
no question. I mean that's been the biggest thing that
63
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.120
people have talked about. What about the non revenue sports,
64
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.719
the Olympic sports. These these poor kids are gonna have
65
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.280
to go across the country and then go you know,
66
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.400
to another town and another town and be on the
67
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.439
road for a week and a half whatever. The cole
68
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.599
Van Dyke was with us from the soccer team about
69
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.439
an hour ago, and they really just have the two
70
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.039
road trips I think to the Midwest and the East Coast,
71
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:15.400
and then they're done.
72
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.120
I haven't even seen a schedule for you guys yet.
73
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.560
Have you seen any kind of a mock schedule or
74
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.800
have any idea what kind of travel commitment you're going
75
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:24.400
to have to make?
76
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.680
Well, I probably echo coach Nicole Van Dyke. I mean
77
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.960
ours is pretty much the same. You're going to have
78
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:33.919
the four road trips. One of them is going to UCLA,
79
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.879
that's normal, and then the other three is Illinois and
80
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.319
Michigan State, Penn State. So you can kind of stomach that.
81
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.439
We'll figure out how to get there, how to get back.
82
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.560
As you know, our program travels like we live in
83
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:49.520
a place where the weather's not as favorable as it
84
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.759
is maybe in Arizona, let's say in the spring, but
85
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:53.719
we're kind of used to it. So I'm kind of
86
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.759
interested to see how we parley this next adventure.
87
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.840
How much will you pick the brain of your colleagues,
88
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.080
your other coaches at you, because like you mentioned, I
89
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.599
mean that they're going to go through this before you
90
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.800
do in the spring. So how much will you sit
91
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.240
down with them and say, Okay, this worked, this didn't work.
92
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.319
Yeah, I think we're lucky. We have quite a few
93
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.839
coaches that I guess are going to bring some experience
94
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:22.399
to us, whether that be in their own ways. Our
95
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.839
actual director of operations, she spent a lot of time
96
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.199
in upbringing at Purdue. So there's a lot of people
97
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.480
that we reference. You know, you hear you hear the
98
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.600
stories about trying to get the Happy Valley, let's say,
99
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.800
or certain things. But I think it's just like anything,
100
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.279
you got to learn it and you got to figure
101
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.519
it out and then create your advantages around it.
102
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:44.759
Well, here there's oars with us, and I'm just thinking
103
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.079
to myself, I don't think you or the softball team
104
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.839
historically needs to worry about your recruiting footprint because you've
105
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:55.199
been to Australia, for God's sakes, for players right right right?
106
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.040
Well, and you, yeah, it brings us to the East Coast,
107
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.360
like people know about us beyond the way. It's actually helpful.
108
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:03.160
Yeah, that's I was going to say.
109
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.639
So now you feel like you've always had that international presence,
110
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.240
but now there might be a little bit of a
111
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.560
bigger footprint a footprint domestically, Is that fair?
112
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.040
Yeah, I think it's a bigger footprint. I mean, I
113
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.040
think being in the East Coast time zone is an advantage.
114
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:19.879
Of course, the weather you can kind of point to
115
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.240
it like a you know, you got that piece for
116
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.279
softball in a spring sport. But I think just generally speaking,
117
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.959
we can get into Illinois, we can get into the Midwest,
118
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.279
which we've done a good job of. And shoot, we
119
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.639
have a player this fall that comes from New York
120
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:36.079
and her like mindset, she's a transfer from Florida State
121
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.839
was like, my parents can actually easily come watch me.
122
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:39.600
So there you go.
123
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.199
Right. You know, the PAC twelve has just been so
124
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.360
dominant in your sport for a long long time. So
125
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:47.959
give us an idea of what the Big ten's going
126
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:49.360
to bring as far as competition.
127
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:51.879
Yeah, it's a little bit weird. I mean, the PAC
128
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.519
twelve has been a little bit of a niche conference
129
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.519
with regards to softball. It's been the I guess the
130
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.079
queen of softball for you know, this the time that
131
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.439
softball has been in the NCAA. But now you know,
132
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:06.680
you kind of are starting to see like the super
133
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.519
conferences really almost monopolyzed the different schools. So you've got
134
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.800
Oklahoma and Texas going to the SEC, which brings them
135
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.360
better teams, and then US Oregon and UCLA getting into
136
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.160
the Big Ten, which brings them you know, more clout
137
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.519
in the Big Ten. So it'll be interesting to see
138
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.680
how both conferences kind of play off each other in
139
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.160
a good way. But certainly PAC twelve softball has been
140
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.800
known forever as been the conference of champions, not only
141
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.480
in you know, softball, but in every sport.
142
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.879
Yeah, Heather, I don't know how much of you seven
143
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.639
thirty seven is. Dick was asking off the air if
144
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.959
we should just buy a plane for all the non
145
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.000
revenue sports, if you guys just fly around the country.
146
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.199
But I mean, is there a chance that you guys
147
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.160
one day will be flying charter and not have to
148
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:49.920
fly commercial.
149
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.480
Well, I think the opportunity exists, of course, you know,
150
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.279
until the revenue share gets to its full capacity. We
151
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.079
are sensitive to the university and what they have to
152
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.480
do all things consider, but I feel like we're pretty
153
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.360
pretty well supported. If those things are needed, then certainly
154
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.959
they're gonna the school is going to support what we need,
155
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.360
so that feels good for sure.
156
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:10.800
Yeah.
157
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.319
I just found a U seven thirty seven for five
158
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:14.920
point five million, by the way, so.
159
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:17.040
That right.
160
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.879
Make sure, make sure it's tight. You know, the door's
161
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:20.560
got to stay on.
162
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:27.720
Oh, shot, softy laid rim shot. They're gonna make me
163
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:29.680
find my rim shot and sleep on the job.
164
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:29.959
Oh.
165
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:31.480
I didn't think i'd have to use it for the
166
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:32.000
Here we go.
167
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.839
There it is, Heather, great stuff, Welcome to the Big
168
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:36.839
ten and we'll talk soon.
169
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:38.959
All right, okay, sounds good.
170
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:39.639
Thank you guys.

00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:22.199
Dave day?
8
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:26.079
One of the Big Tenay for you, Dub and for

11
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:33.479
My god, how about this?
12
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.439
The head coach of your Husky softball team joins us
13
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.560
right now to talk about being members of the Big
14
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:40.719
fricking ten.
15
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:41.679
Coach, how are you?
16
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:44.920
I'm doing good, Thanks for having me on.
17
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.119
Oh God, I can't process all this. I just can't.
18
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.159
I mean, for somebody like you that grew up here
19
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.280
in this area, Purple and Gold, the Hallway, West Coast
20
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:56.240
Pac ten PAC twelve, give me your thoughts on just
21
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.479
the brain buster, the brain scrambler that all this has
22
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.399
been for you and now in the Big Ten officially today.
23
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.920
Yeah, I think for the last what hasn't been like
24
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.359
the last year months? Yeah, Okay, I got it right.
25
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.159
Last twelve months, I've been somewhat in denial because until
26
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.359
it really happens, you're like, okay, well, I think just
27
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.959
seeing the big ten logos on our backstop the other day,
28
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.040
I was like, all right, this is no joke. It's real.
29
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.560
So it is a little bit different, I think geographically,
30
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.879
so to speak, like that's the biggest thing for me personally,
31
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.519
But I think it's just because what we're used to,
32
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.000
Like we're used to aligning ourselves up and down a
33
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.519
west coast without a time zone change. So it's like
34
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.439
that's what's abnormal to me. It's going to work itself
35
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.760
out and it's going to be awesome. But the interim,
36
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.159
like you said, all of us from around here were
37
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:48.319
probably a little bit mind blown.
38
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.640
Well, the last time we had you on a couple
39
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.439
months ago, I mean there was obviously some frustrations. You
40
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.400
were raw at that time, and we had a good
41
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.680
conversation with you. Have some of those frustrations been lessened
42
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.000
compared to when you were on the last time with us.
43
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.640
I mean, I think anybody that's competitive gets over things
44
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.920
pretty quickly, you know, Like you can get upset, you
45
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.879
can have your feelings about it, but then you're just like,
46
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.439
all right, recover. So I feel like at this point
47
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.280
we're just in all right, let's go mode. I'm excited
48
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.560
for the football season. I'm excited for the fall sports
49
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.240
at Washington to kind of pilot this whole process. But
50
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.000
now it's like kind of exciting. I mean, you look
51
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.000
forward to a lot of the opportunities that we get
52
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.680
to see in our football schedule. Specifically, So on my
53
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.439
birthday October fifth, you dub host Michigan and football.
54
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.560
That's pretty cool. That'd be a good present for you.
55
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.599
That'd be a good twenty eighth birthday present for Heather
56
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.319
Tars looking forward to that.
57
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.080
But coach, yeah, I'm not gonna admit how old I
58
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:46.520
am on that day.
59
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:48.800
Listen, Yeah, all of us are with you, all right,
60
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:50.960
We're all with you on that, but Heather tars with us.
61
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.560
And you know, a lot has been made about to travel, right,
62
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:55.719
no question. I mean that's been the biggest thing that
63
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.120
people have talked about. What about the non revenue sports,
64
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.719
the Olympic sports. These these poor kids are gonna have
65
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.280
to go across the country and then go you know,
66
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.400
to another town and another town and be on the
67
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.439
road for a week and a half whatever. The cole
68
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.599
Van Dyke was with us from the soccer team about
69
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.439
an hour ago, and they really just have the two
70
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.039
road trips I think to the Midwest and the East Coast,
71
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:15.400
and then they're done.
72
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.120
I haven't even seen a schedule for you guys yet.
73
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.560
Have you seen any kind of a mock schedule or
74
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.800
have any idea what kind of travel commitment you're going
75
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:24.400
to have to make?
76
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.680
Well, I probably echo coach Nicole Van Dyke. I mean
77
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.960
ours is pretty much the same. You're going to have
78
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:33.919
the four road trips. One of them is going to UCLA,
79
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.879
that's normal, and then the other three is Illinois and
80
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.319
Michigan State, Penn State. So you can kind of stomach that.
81
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.439
We'll figure out how to get there, how to get back.
82
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.560
As you know, our program travels like we live in
83
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:49.520
a place where the weather's not as favorable as it
84
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.759
is maybe in Arizona, let's say in the spring, but
85
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:53.719
we're kind of used to it. So I'm kind of
86
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.759
interested to see how we parley this next adventure.
87
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.840
How much will you pick the brain of your colleagues,
88
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.080
your other coaches at you, because like you mentioned, I
89
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.599
mean that they're going to go through this before you
90
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.800
do in the spring. So how much will you sit
91
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.240
down with them and say, Okay, this worked, this didn't work.
92
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.319
Yeah, I think we're lucky. We have quite a few
93
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.839
coaches that I guess are going to bring some experience
94
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:22.399
to us, whether that be in their own ways. Our
95
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.839
actual director of operations, she spent a lot of time
96
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.199
in upbringing at Purdue. So there's a lot of people
97
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.480
that we reference. You know, you hear you hear the
98
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.600
stories about trying to get the Happy Valley, let's say,
99
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.800
or certain things. But I think it's just like anything,
100
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.279
you got to learn it and you got to figure
101
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.519
it out and then create your advantages around it.
102
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:44.759
Well, here there's oars with us, and I'm just thinking
103
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.079
to myself, I don't think you or the softball team
104
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.839
historically needs to worry about your recruiting footprint because you've
105
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:55.199
been to Australia, for God's sakes, for players right right right?
106
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.040
Well, and you, yeah, it brings us to the East Coast,
107
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.360
like people know about us beyond the way. It's actually helpful.
108
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:03.160
Yeah, that's I was going to say.
109
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.639
So now you feel like you've always had that international presence,
110
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.240
but now there might be a little bit of a
111
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.560
bigger footprint a footprint domestically, Is that fair?
112
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.040
Yeah, I think it's a bigger footprint. I mean, I
113
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.040
think being in the East Coast time zone is an advantage.
114
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:19.879
Of course, the weather you can kind of point to
115
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.240
it like a you know, you got that piece for
116
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.279
softball in a spring sport. But I think just generally speaking,
117
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.959
we can get into Illinois, we can get into the Midwest,
118
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.279
which we've done a good job of. And shoot, we
119
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.639
have a player this fall that comes from New York
120
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:36.079
and her like mindset, she's a transfer from Florida State
121
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.839
was like, my parents can actually easily come watch me.
122
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:39.600
So there you go.
123
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.199
Right. You know, the PAC twelve has just been so
124
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.360
dominant in your sport for a long long time. So
125
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:47.959
give us an idea of what the Big ten's going
126
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:49.360
to bring as far as competition.
127
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:51.879
Yeah, it's a little bit weird. I mean, the PAC
128
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.519
twelve has been a little bit of a niche conference
129
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.519
with regards to softball. It's been the I guess the
130
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.079
queen of softball for you know, this the time that
131
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.439
softball has been in the NCAA. But now you know,
132
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:06.680
you kind of are starting to see like the super
133
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.519
conferences really almost monopolyzed the different schools. So you've got
134
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.800
Oklahoma and Texas going to the SEC, which brings them
135
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.360
better teams, and then US Oregon and UCLA getting into
136
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.160
the Big Ten, which brings them you know, more clout
137
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.519
in the Big Ten. So it'll be interesting to see
138
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.680
how both conferences kind of play off each other in
139
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.160
a good way. But certainly PAC twelve softball has been
140
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.800
known forever as been the conference of champions, not only
141
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.480
in you know, softball, but in every sport.
142
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.879
Yeah, Heather, I don't know how much of you seven
143
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.639
thirty seven is. Dick was asking off the air if
144
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.959
we should just buy a plane for all the non
145
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.000
revenue sports, if you guys just fly around the country.
146
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.199
But I mean, is there a chance that you guys
147
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.160
one day will be flying charter and not have to
148
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:49.920
fly commercial.
149
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.480
Well, I think the opportunity exists, of course, you know,
150
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.279
until the revenue share gets to its full capacity. We
151
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.079
are sensitive to the university and what they have to
152
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.480
do all things consider, but I feel like we're pretty
153
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.360
pretty well supported. If those things are needed, then certainly
154
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.959
they're gonna the school is going to support what we need,
155
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.360
so that feels good for sure.
156
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:10.800
Yeah.
157
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.319
I just found a U seven thirty seven for five
158
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:14.920
point five million, by the way, so.
159
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:17.040
That right.
160
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.879
Make sure, make sure it's tight. You know, the door's
161
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:20.560
got to stay on.
162
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:27.720
Oh, shot, softy laid rim shot. They're gonna make me
163
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:29.680
find my rim shot and sleep on the job.
164
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:29.959
Oh.
165
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:31.480
I didn't think i'd have to use it for the
166
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:32.000
Here we go.
167
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.839
There it is, Heather, great stuff, Welcome to the Big
168
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:36.839
