00:00 All right, they're asking me, I got the suit.
00:02 I'm going over to Mr. Windegger's funeral after this.
00:07 So he was here when I was here, athletic director obviously and a legend.
00:13 And yeah, it meant a lot to us who've been around for a long time and
00:18 come and gone, but what he did at TC, it was a one man operation.
00:25 I was telling the frogs today,
00:30 I was telling them I had to go ask him and
00:34 when I was finishing up I needed different times for sure.
00:39 No, pre-NIL, but I had to go ask him for, after finishing up senior year,
00:45 we won a couple of conference championships, he gave me some awards.
00:51 I was a scholar athlete, if you can believe that.
00:53 Wasn't a very good, smart crew I guess I was going against of the year.
00:58 But I had to go ask, I had to finish up a class for during the summer and
01:02 I didn't know where I was gonna live and didn't have any money.
01:05 And I had to go ask for, if they would pay for the class,
01:07 a little different world now.
01:09 And some money, if I could get the scholarship check,
01:13 the room and board, cuz I lived in the dorms for four years.
01:20 So I had somewhere to live, so I didn't have anybody.
01:23 So a little nervous to go talk to him, he's like, okay, we'll take care of it.
01:27 We'll take care of it.
01:27 He's like, don't worry.
01:28 But always came back and saw him when I came back through here.
01:33 And he was kind of the connection, our coaches weren't here anymore.
01:37 So he was always that connection to me.
01:40 And when I got hired, he was here.
01:43 And so he meant a lot to TCU and it was a different time.
01:47 And they didn't have these great offices.
01:49 It was a one man office on the side of the arena down there.
01:54 And I remember that office, but
01:57 it was not as nice as all these offices they built up there for these guys.
02:04 That's for sure.
02:05 He meant a lot to us and so I just thought I'd say that before you ask me why I got
02:09 the sumo.
02:10 But he's a special guy, special friend, special to TCU.
02:14 So let's talk NCAA tournament.
