00:00 I know it's it's 2020 Julian and it's COVID. I mean.
00:05 So even you know, so we wind up hearing that we're not going to play for two weeks and then we're going to play Louisville on the 12th.
00:13 So then you start getting ready for Virginia.
00:16 Then you get told you're going to play Louisville on Saturday, so you play him on Saturday.
00:21 I mean, if they tell us that we got to play tomorrow, our kids will get out, get out there and play tomorrow.
00:26 I mean, there's just you can't get mad. You can't scratch your head.
00:30 You can't just got to get ready and be lucky that we're playing football.
00:33 I mean, that's that's the truth. Anybody right now who is, you know, saying, oh, I can't believe this is happening.
00:39 They just let's just be fortunate. We're playing ball and we get another chance to play.
00:43 And hopefully we get these next two game in and we keep improving and getting better and building this thing.
00:50 As far as the bye week went, I said, like, like I told you guys, I gave our I gave our older guys a lot of time to rest.
00:56 And a lot of time off. So it wasn't like we were getting all extra work in.
00:59 They needed rest. I think we were one of the only teams in the country to play nine straight games.
01:03 I truthfully, as I looked around on Saturday, I don't know if another team had played nine straight.
01:09 You know, I see some teams like a three and a record. It's like, oh, my gosh, we played nine games already.
01:14 These guys are in week three. So it was good.
01:17 It was good to get the players off their feet, rest and recovery.
01:21 We got some good work with the young guys in.
01:23 Then we did a little bit of practice Thursday and Friday to Saturday.
01:27 I gave the players some some more rest and Sunday just kind of did some light Sunday stuff and Monday day off.
01:32 And here we are practicing again. So the guys are fresh.
01:36 I think they feel great and they're fortunate and we're all happy to be playing another game.
01:41 And I think they feel pretty good. We had an awesome day today.
01:44 - Okay, I appreciate it.
