00:00I want our guys to be happy.
00:08I hope they can be happy at the University of Oregon.
00:12You can't be your best in any relationship unless you're happy.
00:18You want to be in that relationship.
00:23I hope and pray that the guys want to stay because, like I said, I want them to stay.
00:29The guys that can come back, I want them to come back, but they got to be one.
00:36Like I said, every relationship is two-fold.
00:40I've been married for 41 years, I'm all in, I hope Reeve is all in.
00:45But that's any relationship.
00:47And with my players, I want them to be happy.
00:52And if they don't think I'm the guy or Oregon is the place, I understand that.
00:58I want them to want to be there so that they can be their best, academically, athletically,
01:03have fun, play in ball, have fun in college.
01:07You know, I don't want the business aspect to take away from the fun of going to college,
01:13fun of playing ball.
01:16I know it's, you know, guys, it's different.
01:20There's a business aspect to it, and I understand that.
01:26But man, if you're not having fun playing ball, if you're not having fun with your teammates,
01:31if you don't enjoy the four years you get to play, I'm not sure you can put a price
01:36on that.
