00:00How are you doing, Coach?
00:02Good, Jonah.
00:04I got a couple questions.
00:05First off, you kind of touched on it before.
00:08With everything going kind of up in the air
00:10in terms of scheduling, you don't even know dates yet.
00:13How does that specifically affect game planning,
00:17especially considering your first two games
00:19are now probably out of the door?
00:22Yeah, Jonah, it's another great question.
00:24What we've done is we've taken a practice schedule
00:27for September 12th, September 19th, and September 26th.
00:34And we've got every practice worked out
00:37because if you have three extra weeks to practice,
00:41I mean, you could wear your team out.
00:43So normally you have 25 practices
00:48available before your first game.
00:51The NCAA is still giving you that.
00:53So if it's moved back,
00:55then they're going to give us those 25 practice opportunities
00:59in those first four weeks.
01:01But then we've got to figure out how do we do game week
01:04if we play the 12th instead of the we were
01:06supposed to play the 4th.
01:08So that's what we're all working on right now
01:11is how do you keep your team healthy,
01:13how do you get them in great shape without wearing them out.
01:17And we're all looking at all those scenarios.
01:20And we'll be so much happier when we get times.
01:24The players are needing them, the parents,
01:26the fans that want to try to go to the away games
01:29if they can get tickets.
01:31We don't know how many fans will be in the stands.
01:34We don't know where the games are.
01:36We don't know when they are.
01:37So right now, everyone is excited about the schedule
01:42and very anxious to get those questions
01:44answered that you just asked.
01:46What we've done for the players is we've shown them
01:49all three of those schedules to ease their mind
01:52and make sure they understand that we're prepared.
01:54If they tell us we're playing the 26th of September,
01:57don't worry about it.
01:58We've got it, and you're not going to practice
02:00for eight weeks in a row without a break.
02:03So just take a deep breath.
02:05We're okay.
