00:00 - Feeling that kind of the record,
00:01 does that play a role in how much
00:02 you're kind of pushing to come back?
00:04 I mean, is there probably a greater sense of urgency
00:06 in the fact that you are an 0-2 and you start here?
00:08 - It's in my head, for sure.
00:10 I'm thinking about it.
00:14 - Last year, when you guys started on 0-2,
00:16 you said up here, I think you said,
00:17 "Everybody relax, we're gonna be fine,"
00:19 or something like that.
00:21 How tough is it balancing the calf now
00:23 along with the 0-2 and kind of navigating it?
00:26 - Yeah, it's obviously tough whenever you have an injury.
00:30 When you start 0-2, that's obviously not ideal,

00:37 That's the ups and downs of the year.
00:39 The teams that come out on top at the end of it
00:43 are gonna be the teams that handle
00:44 that adversity the best.
00:45 You can't let it snowball on you.
00:46 That's what we've done in the past.
00:48 And if you go back and look year to year,
00:52 the teams that are still in it at the end,
00:53 everybody has adversity at some point in the year.
00:56 Everybody stinks at some point, according to the media.
00:59 We're just gonna sit here and continue to get better.
01:02 We're gonna have good practices.
01:04 We're gonna take it week by week,
01:06 and that's all you can do.
