00:00We joke that we're kind of a land of misfit toys, you know.
00:04We've taken care of business to put ourselves in a position to be successful,
00:07and now it's time to go out there and, you know, finish the job.
00:17I think it's an underdog mentality, and I think it just goes back to where we've come from.
00:24No one's sitting there eating cake, you know, feeling good about the regular season.
00:29There's no regular season trophies, you know, so let's go out and lock back in,
00:34take this week, you know, rest, recover, you know, get right mentally for, you know,
00:39the push of a lifetime here.
00:44He's having an exceptional year. I don't think there's any way to beat around that.
00:49At the end of the day, like, Jared's our guy, and, you know, if he were to win it,
00:55we'd be over the moon excited. Does he deserve to win it? In my opinion, absolutely.
01:01Does the media narrative that? Probably not.
01:03The thing that's most impressive about Jared is he's the same guy every day.
01:07You know, I'll go back to that. You know, I think that's what's so special about him.
01:15It's awesome. You always know what you're going to get.
01:19I think sometimes people that aren't in the building see some of the decisions and are like,
01:24why? What's going on? Where we knew that was coming all week. You're all season.
01:29I think Coach Campbell, the thing that separates him from most, you know,
01:32most coaches I've been around is he's unapologetically him.
01:36And that means being aggressive.
01:41I honestly can't imagine the parade would be electric.
01:46You know, who, you know, what better city could you bring something like that back to?
01:51It's an incredible place, so I can't think of a better way to repay them.
