Speaker 4 (06:36):
The following year we won the championship.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
How about that? Very interesting?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
And Coach Bran kept telling us that we just hanging
there were gonna get better and better. Wasn't the championship?
Eventually we were on probation and were not allowed to
go to a bowl game. That was the only disappointing
thing about the season.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Oh I hate that? Interesting Okay? And and did you
did you ever want to do any of that when
you got the head coaching job?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Won't do what?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Go to junction boys? Take a team to the jumps.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Sure I did all by there once in a while, but no,
it wouldn't have anybody left. All I did was thinking
about it. I never did it.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I wouldn't think you'd do it either. I wouldn't. I
wouldn't think you'd do that. You had, you didn't. A
lot of people, a lot of people had to change
a lot of their ways as times change, any coach, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Thanks have really changed, especially in football now now they
now they do think for the players that they used
to put us on probation for.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, I know, I know they pay these players pretty
regular now, coach.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And I think probably that all the rules changes, it
been better for football, really.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
You think so?
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I think?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
So?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Well, there you go. Safety of the game. I like that. Now.
Let me tell you what you know. Coach grab was
over here the gymnastis coach. He goes into Tusklos a
few weeks ago coach, and he takes care of business.
He beats Alabama for the first time in Tuslousa.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
I said, Coach Graba and Auburn gymnastics went over and
beat Alabama in Coleman Colisseum a few weeks, Yes, sir,
tell him, coach, I don't want to get him up.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
You really enjoyed going that. I think the coach Airward Patterson.

That's right.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
The girl gymnastic team was awfully good.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Well, his team beat him over there the other day, coach,
so he's got a good team too. You know, Coach
Graber when games there you go, he went, that was
one of your best scores winning Coach Grable this year.
That's our best score. There you go, coach.

better than his.
