00:00playing in this year's Rose Bowl game?
00:06Yeah, we couldn't be more thrilled to be a part of this game.
00:09You know, growing up or being on this side of the country,
00:12not necessarily growing up, excuse me, being on this side of the country,
00:15this is a game you dream of the opportunity to coach in.
00:18And this is one of these games.
00:22This is one of the ones that I haven't got to do yet.
00:24So it's certainly a thrill for me, obviously a big fan of our program
00:28and influence in our program is Phil Knight.
00:30And, you know, Phil has always told me his number one goal
00:32is can we get to the Rose Bowl?
00:34So I'm extremely ecstatic that our team gets to be a part
00:38of such a historic game, the granddaddy of them all.
00:41So this will be a fun one for us.
00:43And I know our players are looking forward to preparing
00:44for that moment to get out on that field.
00:48Thank you, Coach.
00:49We'll now open up the teleconference for questions.
00:52Please raise your hand to ask a question using the raise hand icon within Zoom.
00:56If and when your question is selected, we will unmute your microphone.
00:59Please state your name and media outlet before asking your question.
01:03Once your question has been answered, your microphone will be muted
01:05and your hand will be lowered.
01:07Our first question comes from John Zanore.
01:12Hi, Coach.
01:13Congratulations.
01:15I'm with the Associated Press.
01:17Can you talk about just the strength of the Big Ten
01:20with four teams in there, four top ten seeds?
01:22Obviously, you guys is the number one.
01:24I mean, how impressed have you been with that league
01:27and how strong has it been?
01:29Yeah, it's a great league.
01:30And, you know, as part of the allure for us,
01:32getting the opportunity to join this league,
01:33I think we've obviously only enhanced the league,
01:36but it's got a storied tradition.
01:38It's one that we're really excited to be a part of.
01:40We've been in some tough battles this year
01:41because of the games that we've got to play.
01:44I think this is a conference that's certainly very deserving
01:47of having as many teams as possible represented
01:50in the college football playoffs.
01:51So glad that our conference is getting that opportunity.
