00:00 You know, I think it's really difficult to say I'm very proud of our players and
00:05 a very difficult circumstance across the country is going to be the fact when
00:11 students come back on campus, you're not going to live as you once have.
00:17 I mean, college students are college students.
00:19 They're very social, but it's 2020.
00:22 And so for contact tracing in a football game could be a nightmare.
00:27 Everybody has to be obviously aware of that.
00:30 So at this point, I think the focus is on mitigation and the bubble, so to speak.
00:37 We don't have near the same circumstance that an NBA team has, but
00:43 I think our players are very aware of what their responsibilities are to each other,
00:48 as is our staff.
00:50 So I'm in my heart of hearts believe we can play 11 games.
00:56 And we're gonna get it done.
00:58 I feel really good about that.
00:59 But I can't speak for anyone else cuz I don't see what the day to day operation is.
01:05 And we've been testing twice a week.
01:08 And our guys have done a great job.
01:10 It's just been really, really fun to be with them.
