Hello from hoopville,
The questions are coming in fast and furious so I better get right to them, shortening my sometimes stupid, sometimes splendid if I do say so myself introductory statement.
Since the last edition of Ask Gary, I’ve been to Dallas to cover Big 12 men’s basketball media day and also watched one exhibition game, KU’s 111-94 victory over EA Sports All-Stars on Monday.
Don’t know if I’ll have another edition of Ask Gary before Thanksgiving. If not, look for me on your TV screen on press row at Madison Square Garden as I’ll be in New York covering the Jayhawks in the Preseason NIT over T-giving week.
Hopefully the Big Apple will treat me kindly as it did last year when we ventured East for the KU-Princeton game, not like it did a couple years ago when the Asian flu bug sapped all my strength during the Coaches V. Cancer Classic.
To reach the NIT semifinals and assure a holiday trip East, KU must beat Holy Cross on Nov. 19, then either UNC Greensboro or Wagner on the 22nd.
I’m sure KU fans out East are buying up all the tickets as KU usually has a great turnout at road games. See you all in the Apple.
Q – Do you agree with the coaches and media members who picked KU to win the Big 12 Conference? Kathy in Iowa, the greatest state in the Union.
A – Yes. Your fellow Iowans, Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich, are the two best players in the league. Sophomores Aaron Miles, Wayne Simien and Keith Langford combine to form the best starting five in the conference.
I wouldn’t be shocked, however, to see Texas or Oklahoma ultimately finish first. Both teams appear to be deeper than Kansas. Don’t discount those Tigers, either. Mizzou may be on a roll after last year’s Elite Eight appearance.
However at this point in time on paper KU’s starting five is so strong it makes Kansas the team to beat in the conference.
Q – Do you think Texas Tech will finish ahead of Missouri this season? Red Raider forever.
A – I think Missouri will finish ahead of Tech.
The Red Raiders were great during the preseason and conference season, but flopped in the postseason last year. You have to wonder if the magic will still be there in Year No. 2 under Bob (Stormy) Knight.
Missouri has a lot of talent. The key may be whether Travon Bryant emerges into a force or remains inconsistent. I think because of Rickey Paulding, MU will be right up there.
Like everybody else, MU has some question marks. Is Jimmy McKinney the answer at point? Can Josh Kroenke really play? Is Arthur Johnson really good, or just really big?
Q – I really have no question, I do have a comment though, Seems that your Q&A’s are about fans that do nothing but worry about what Roy is Doing or Not Doing. My gosh, look at what he has done in the 15 years he has graced the campus of KU. UNBELIEVABLE…
Come on, “fans.” Don’t worry about who Roy is going to get or what shape they are when they arrive. Roy knows what he is doing and has for several years. I have never seen so many worry warts in my life.
Like Graves, Everyone is worried about his weight. I am not worried. He will work and work till he can carry his own and I am sure Roy has it all taken care of.
Lets all sit back and enjoy the RIDE as Roy would say.
I enjoy every year and enjoy all the nail chewing as much as anyone. Close games are great games and it makes my love for the Kansas program just that much more great. If we quit worrying about this and that and just trust the greatest coach in college basketball he will show us that there is nothing to worry about except “getting tickets to the game.”
Let’s all sit back, relax, and enjoy the greatest basketball games and program in history.
Wow I am sure Roy will give us another Great Ride this year too. He has never let us down yet, so why think anything would be different with the up coming classes or his present class.
We have talent to no end this year, and next. Let’s have a ball and go for the gusto, and sooner of later Roy will win the big one. No doubt in my mind by far. Rock Chalk Jayhawk GO KU.. Paul from Chanute Ks.
A – I get a lot of questions from people who do seem to be “worry warts.”
I think worrying is probably part of being a fan in many instances. I don’t think a person is a bad fan because he/she worries a lot. Overall I’d say worrying is a waste of time, however and I bet Dr. Phil would agree with me.
My guess is fans who look at the big picture being rosy probably enjoy the games more than those who worry a lot.
One fan recently called me to complain about KU not getting a verbal commitment from Wisconsin high school big man Brian Butch.
He kept carrying on about what a major loss this was for Roy’s program.
I finally said to him, “Why do you get so worked up over this? You have followed recruiting and KU basketball a long time. Roy has always had a full roster of good players and has never had a bad team. Why worry about Brian Butch when you know KU is always going to be a top 15 type team, one of those teams that every year has a chance to win the league and win it all?”
He sheepishly said, ‘I know all that. I just love recruiting.”
Q – I have heard a lot of excuses made about the lack of success of KU football, most of which deal with the lack of talent. How then do you explain how the Air Force Academy, which doesn’t offer athletic scholarships and requires its graduates to commit to military service, is able to consistently field a competitive team and play well against national powers such as Notre Dame? Could great coaching have something to do with their success? Brad.
A – I dunno about Air Force, but I will tell you players, not coaches, win games.
Unless a coach is a total buffoon, like having one hour practices or always going for it on fourth down, doing nonsensical stuff, I think coaching ultimately plays a lesser part than acquiring talent.
Like Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said after waxing the Jayhawks, 64-0, “it’s all about personnel.”
He is right.
KU has smallish linemen and not nearly enough speed in the skill positions. So KU loses. Anybody wanna argue that point with me?
People ridiculed Bob Valesente, who coached at KU for two years after Mike Gottfried, but Valesente (a bright football mind and great man, by the way) said one thing that rings true.
He said if KU ever wants to win in football, it is going to have to commit to one coach through thick and thin for 10 years.
I’d have to agree with him. KU’s only hope in football is a Bill Snyder-ish like success story.
One guy the right guy (KU fans hope it’s Mangino) is going to need 10 years to build a stellar program here. Four years and out, five years and out doesn’t cut it.
Q – Hi Gary, I’ve noted a couple times in your questioning answering session that all KU games are on TV and that people can get them with a subscription to Directv. I live in the Cleveland area now and have the Directv (Full Court Press) package but that doesn’t include the “national broadcasts” on the major networks. The local channels all preempt the KU games for regional games with Big 10, ACC or Big East. So, I miss a lot of the quote, “big games.” Is there a trick to this that I don’t know?
A – I asked the folks at ESPN Regional your question. Here is their response:
“Unfortunately, no. The national broadcast agreement with CBS requires DirecTV to black out these games, so your only option is the local station. In this case, you would need to contact your local CBS station with any questions or concerns.”
Q – Hi I live in Wisconsin and want to get all of KU’s games on TV. How do I do this? Cheeseremainsgood.com.
A – Again, I put this question to the good folks at ESPN regional. Their answer to you:
“In order to get the best coverage possible, you may want to look at a DirecTV dish. They carry a tremendous amount of programming through the Full Court Package and in many cities you can now purchase a local channel package that rounds out the plan. The Full Court package airs almost every Kansas game that is not on a national network. If you have Full Court and your local channels (ABC, CBS, ESPN), you should get almost every game.
Due to national network programming decisions you will never get every single game. For instance, if your local CBS station carries a Big 10 game, instead of a Big 12 match-up, you will not be able to view the Kansas game. In this case, you would need to contact your local CBS station with any questions or concerns. For more information regarding DirecTV in your area, call 1-800-Get-Sports or log-on to www.Directv.com.”
Never say I’m not out to help you get the Hawks on TV!
Q – No basketball coach would ever allow one of his scholarship players to play football. Both the basketball and football seasons are considerably longer now than 30 years ago. Players like Tony Gonzalez (California), Julius Peppers (North Carolina) and Charlie Ward (Florida State) played both sports. However they were football players who played basketball. A winning football team requires some outstanding players. To attract good players require a winning basketball program. Some innovation is needed. Why not recruit a few good football players who are decent basketball players. An incentive would be a chance for a walk on place on a winning basketball team. Forget that it didn’t work with Mario Kinsey. Bill K
A – I don’t think Roy will be adding any more football players to his hoops roster anytime soon. I know he really was looking forward to having Kinsey play both sports and that experiment turned out to be a major disaster.
My guess is Roy is going to recruit basketball players and the football team will recruit football players from now on.
Q – Gary, I enjoy the columns, and check the web for all the info I need. I used to work security at the games, and I miss telling everybody, “It’s a great day to be a Jayhawk.”
As a transplanted Kansan and Jayhawk, my wife got my dish for the first Christmas here in Indiana. Let the buyer beware!
DirecTV offers ESPN’s Full Court package, which will have ALMOST every KU game on it. Games telecast on CBS are not part of the package, and are not necessarily national broadcasts. Those games are available as part of a separate package, possibly “Sports Pack,” but best to check with your vendor obviously.
In addition, the “March Madness” package is a good value when you know you are outside of CBS’ designated market. I saw all five of KU’s tourney games tip to buzzer, and the advantage is the lack of “live look-ins” or cutting away to other games. Unfortunately, the games on your local stations are blacked out on the dish.
I hope this info is of some help to transplanted Jayhawk fans!
Yours in Hawkdom, Mark in Indiana
A – Thank you for that info. I do appreciate it. You into the Hoosiers at all? That was amazing IU reached the national title game last year, truly amazing. It goes to show you teams still can come out of nowhere in college basketball to make a run for the gold. Who ever would have believed Wisconsin would make the Final Four three or four years ago. Maybe it’s a Big 10 thing.
Q – While watching Monday Night Football tonight, I thought that Pittsburgh QB Tommy Maddox bears a strong resemblance to former KU basketball player Greg Maddox. Is there any relation?
A – I think the KU basketball player you are talking about is Mike Maddox. Nope, no relation. Greg Maddux pitches for the Braves. Mike Maddox lives in Lawrence and is president of a bank here. Mike Maddox is a great guy and one of my favorite Jayhawks of all time. He was great with the media, which of course, is important to an ink-stained wretch like myself.
He never had a sour look on his face, always accessible, a writer’s dream is Mike Maddox. I know, that’s more information than you wanted to know.
I hear he’s a great businessman, also, by the way.
Q – I just read your Halloween edition of ‘Ask Gary’ and wanted to help out the fan who wanted the videos of last season’s senior speeches. Seeing as how they were an excellent group of speeches, I downloaded them from the site last season and still have them saved on a CD. If it is suitable to you and the other fan, I can create a website and upload them to it for you to download. Anyways, just let me know. Josh
A – Ok, I have Josh’s email address so if you still want the senior speeches, please email me and I’ll send you Josh’s email address.
Q – Gary, I’m an old high school teammate of Brett Olson. I just wanted to let you know what a class act the Jayhawks are getting if Brett does indeed make the team. I was just a sophomore when Brett was a senior, and I looked up to him as a basketball player and as a person. He was just an all-around great guy, who was willing to help you out any possible way he could. No matter the situation, dustin
A – Good deal. Brett did indeed make the team and looks good at practice. He hustles and appears to have some talent. I think he’s comparable to Chris Zerbe, who contributed a lot at practice and played at the end of some games. Olson tried out once before and didn’t make it, so perseverance pays.
Q – Gary, In addition to the on court question of how this years team will unfold, what do you think the impact of coach Robinson is or will be compared to the loss of coach Dougherty? Thanks
A – I like both guys. Steve Robinson has been a head coach the last seven years, so obviously he is a tremendous addition to the staff. Like Neil, he’s a very good recruiter.
Neil and Steve are both very good coaches. I can’t pick one over the other as being better necessarily. I know Steve has a lot more head coaching experience than Neil, so Steve is probably ahead of the game a bit.
Steve Robinson loves KU and will do a great job during his second stint here.
Q – Which Wichita radio station is broadcasting KU games this year? rita
A – OK, Wichita people, help me out here. Gimme a station please.
Q – I’d like to know about NC walk-on Christian Moody…what are his HS playing credentials & did Roy know about him before he walked-on?…tyvm for you reply, Mitzi.
A – Christian Moody averaged 13.1 points and 9.3 boards for his high school team last year in North Carolina. He attended Roberson High, which is Roy’s alma mater. Christian’s coach called Roy and told him about Christian and asked him if there were any walk-on opportunities at say, Vanderbilt, where Kevin Stallings coaches.
Roy told Moody’s coach that he’d like to see some tape on Moody.
Roy liked what he saw, Moody visited here twice, and was invited to become a preferred walk-on. He looks like a good player and is an incredible student who plans on being a doctor.
Q – HI! I’m a first year coach and I’m searching for coaching techiniques…practice advice. In particular I was looking for information on Roy Williams coaching style…He is my favorite coach. If you have any suggestions as to where to find information. I would greatly appreciate it Mitzi
A – Well I wrote a story recently that talked about Roy’s practices and how he always has a “thought for the day.” That story gave some general insight into his practice theories.
You can read that story in our archives.
You probably should come to Roy’s coaching clinic next year.
At the clinic, he outlines a lot of the stuff he does and answers questions from the coaches assembled. Last weekend, about 400 coaches were on hand for the clinic.
Roy gave a detailed Xs and Os session.
I don’t really know where you can find information on his coaching except from articles in the media and we don’t really get into the Xs and Os that much. The coaching clinic, usually held in late October or early November would be valuable to you.
Q – So who is Coach Roy going after now that Butch is going to Wisconsin? Ted.
A – Nobody. I think Roy will save the scholarship for next year. He’s happy with Wilkes, Padgett, Giddens and Case, though he always could fall in love with a player second semester and recruit him. A transfer is also always a possibility.
Q – I was wondering whatever happened to Marcus Dove. I remember that Roy was recruiting him but I didn’t know where he decided to go. My question is where did Dove chose to go? Austin.
A – He chose Oklahoma State over Arizona State. I never talked to Dove in the recruiting process, but good guy Shay Wildeboor of rivals.com did. Shay tells me Dove said he loved Kansas and probably would have come here had an offer been extended. I think KU wanted Wilkes and once he committed KU no longer wanted Dove.
Q – What is Coach Robinson’s reaction to now being back in Lawrence? What about the player from Denver that was at the Williams camp this summer, who according to the paper wanted to come to KU? Lawrence.
A – Steve Robinson loves being back in Lawrence. I did a long story on him for our back to school tab that should be available in archives. He and his family simply love Lawrence. The player you are talking about is Antonio Porch. I don’t think the 6-foot-6 Porch has committed anywhere yet. KU never offered him a scholarship.
I talked to him last spring and you are right, he did want to come to KU. But there’s simply no room for Porch right now unless he wants to walk on the team.
Q – Now that Brian Butch has committed to Wisconsin, is Roy done for this year’s recruiting class? Are there any other names we should look for? Any early names for the class of ’04? Parker.
A – I do think Roy is done for now.
Kevin Langford, Keith’s brother, could be a guy KU looks at heavily in the future. He’s a 6-8 phenom in Texas.
Other possibilities includ Darnell Jackson, 6-9 from Oklahoma City; Marvin Williams, 6-8, Bremerton, Wash.; Stephen Hill, 7-foot, Branson, Mo.; Kalen Grimes, 6-8, Florissant, Mo., and many many more. We’ll find out more in January when juniors can make visits.
Q – When is Jeff Graves going to start losing weight? If I ever had a chance to play collegiate basketball at the University of Kansas, I do think I would prepare myself. Lloyd.
A – Well I think he already has lost about 20 pounds and is about 280. He’s obviously still in Roy’s doghouse, however.
I can tell you he’s looked good at the practices I’ve seen. And I thought he played well in the exhibition game, scoring eight points with six boards in 10 minutes.
Roy is testing Graves right now, riding him very hard daily at practice and trying to round him into shape. I would expect Graves will be doing the 12 minute run over and over until he can run 6 1/2 laps.
I think you will see him contribute even if he never completes the 6 1/2 laps. He’s come very close and I don’t think Roy will hold him out of games just because he’s not a marathon man.
Roy in my opinion is making sure that next summer Graves and all the Jayhawks will work their tails off.
Graves will stay in shape next summer so he’ll make the run on his first try. He’s paying the price for taking the summer off right now.
Q – When and where are tickets available for the AZ vs. KU game on Jan 25th? How much? For students and non-students. Is it possible to get lower seating than the seats reserved for students? This is one game I don’t want to miss. Darrell.
A – Well the game is sold out, but if some students don’t pick up their tickets you might be able to get in. Call 1-800-34-Hawks for ticket info. Good luck. I predict the only way you’ll get in that game, however, is via the scalper route.
Q – how many 7-foot players does kansas have on it’s team this season. Daren.
A – Easy. None. Moulaye Niang is the tallest at 6-10.
Q – With the scare from Holy Cross last yr in the tourney; do you see Kansas preparing any differently this time around or do you believe they will roll over them like a Big 12 squad should?
A – I’d say KU would win and win handily since the game is at Allen Fieldhouse. I’m sure Roy will prepare for the game like he always does.
He’ll put one assistant in charge of gathering info and tapes and go from there. I disagree with your comment that a Big 12 team should roll over Holy Cross. Why? Holy Cross’ players lace their shoes the same way the Jayhawks, Wildcats, Tigers, Cornhuskers do one shoe at a time.
Nothing is guaranteed in sports.
Q – Hi Gary – Saw your e-mail from “Kevin in Seattle” about tickets to the KU-Oregon game. They go on sale on Friday, September 27 through www.rosequarter.com, www.ticketmaster.com or calling ticketmaster 1-503-224-4400. We hope to see you there .
A – Good deal. I’m sure fans will appreciate the info.
Q – Do you think that Arizona deserved to be ranked #1 in college basketball before the season started? Sarah
A – Yes, probably so. The Wildcats have so many talented players, it’s scary.
Q – What’s KU’s rank in the polls? Gina.
A – KU generally is ranked second behind Arizona, but not all the polls are out yet.
Q – What big men are still available that Kansas is interested in for their 5th. scholarship. Who do they have the most interest in?
A – Nobody. I think Roy is through recruiting for this year, but I can’t say that with 100 percent certainty. Somebody could always emerge on Roy’s radar second semester.
Q – What was Keith Langford’s average last season? What was Aaron Miles’s average last season?
A – Keith averaged 7.9 points a game, 7.0 in Big 12 games. Aaron averaged 7.1 ppg, 6.1 in league games. Both guys rank as two of the best sophomores in the U.S.
Q – Who are the five starters for ku this season? Glen.
A – Langford, Miles, Simien, Hinrich and Collison will start barring injury. All Jayhawks fans should now knock on wood.
Q – Last year I could listen to KU basketball on my computer. Are there any stations or websites I can listen to the Jayhawks without having to pay a fee? I couldn’t listen to the EA Sports vs. KU game without paying. Are the airways being charged now?
A – If you live out of state you must pay to get the games on Internet. The link to a pay site is http://www.kuathletics.com/audio_video/yahoo.html.
Q – My 14 year old son and I are planning guys spring break to the first two rounds of the NCAA tourney. We’re going to be taking off from Denver as soon as we find out where the ‘Hawks are going. Can’t find where the possible locations are. Is that available anywhere or do you know the first round sites yet? Here’s hoping the ‘Hawks win 30 and stay in the midwest!!
A – The sites are Boston, Tampa, Birmingham, Nashville, Oklahoma City. Indianapolis, Salt Lake, Spokane. Look for KU to go to Oklahoma City if the Jayhawks are a top seed.
Q – I would appreciate if you would ask any other readers you have here in Houston what sports bar they are going to visit to watch the Hawks this year. SRO is closed and I guess I won’t get my six year perfect attendance badge. Help.
A – Houston. We have a problem. Fill me in. Where do the Jayhawk fans watch the games?
Q – I went to the first exhibition game? Were you pleasantly surprised by anybody’s play?
A – Well, I wouldn’t say surprised, but I thought Wayne Simien was incredible in tallying 26 points. Hinrich and Collison quietly scored 20 and 18 respectively. They are gonna have big seasons.
Q – Do you think KU’s bench can come through this year or it the bench hopeless?
A – Well, the reserves showed some promise against EA Sports. I thought Jeff Hawkins looked quick in taking it to the rack twice for layups. He also hit a three. Moulaye really can run and has some skills, wouldn’t you agree? Mike Lee had an off game. He didn’t do much, except hustle on defense. His defense could land him some playing time.
Bryant Nash calmly hit two threes and looked improved. And Jeff Graves had a heckuva debut with eight points and six boards. Just think how good he’ll be when he becomes a member of the team.
Q – Who is your favorite player on this year’s team? Gretchen.
A – Too early to tell, but it’s hard to not like Kirk and Collison. Those two guys can play some ball. Can you imagine where KU would be if those two guys turned pro after last season? Yikes.
Q – What do you think of Boschee’s new book? Brent.
A – You know, I haven’t read it yet, but I will do so at some point. I just got a copy the other day. The cover looks good. I’m sure his fans will purchase many copies. Don’t forget to buy the J-W’s new book on hoops, also.
Q – I’m ready for the NCAA tournament. I see no reason why KU has to play ANY regular season games. I mean these games are frickin meaningless to copy a word Roy uses. Why doesn’t the NCAA pass a rule where they hold a series of NCAA Tournaments instead of regular season games? That should be a new innovation. All NCAA games!! We could have 3-5 NCAA tournaments in one season. Bleep, it’s all that matters!! thom.
A – No offense, Thom, but I’m afraid you are caught up in the sickness of sports today. For some reason, many fans like yourself think the regular season is totally meaningless and all that matters is the NCAA Tourney.
That is so sick, but it is reality.
When I get questions like yours, it makes me wish the players were paid.
Sports is such a big business with coaches making big bucks, the TV networks making big bucks and many fans demanding these players perform like pros.
The reality is Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich, Aaron Miles, et. all are students and athletes. Whether you like it or not, it’s true. They are not NBA players, but student/athletes.
On home Big Monday dates, for instance, these Jayhawks get up at 8 a.m. and go to class all day, catch a nap if they are lucky and not too nervous thinking about the game, and finally play a game at 8 p.m. in front of 16,300 fans and a national audience.
They are expected to excel in these games. They really ought to be paid big bucks for their efforts, especially if people think the only way they can have a successful season is by winning the NCAA title.
I think people should enjoy college basketball for what it is: A great great great diversion that gets everybody through the bitterly cold winter months, taking us into the balmy spring. Fifteen or so glorious nights in Allen Fieldhouse for folks to congregate and enjoy good ball.
It all ends with a tournament in which one team can win it all. It’s sad that many fans think that one team is the only successful team.
Sad and sick.
I realize many fans do enjoy all the games and to those fans may I salute you. And sorry if I offended you Thom, but I must speak what I believe is the truth.
Q – When will KU tear down Allen Fieldhouse and build a new arena like at Missouri? Frank.
A – I answered this a couple Ask Gary’s ago. There are no plans to build a new fieldhouse. This one will be here a while, at least until Roy retires. He loves the arena and I think most fans, do, too.
Q – I heard the players will not sign basketballs any more after games. Why?
A – It’s mainly because the players sell their own autographed basketballs for charity. They don’t want to compete against their own charitable effort. Also they don’t want to see any more balls ending up for sale on Ebay. The players will still sign other items after games.
Q – Will KU go undefeated this season? Anna.
A – Nope. The Jayhawks will lose at least one game. Bank on it. Indiana was the last team to go unbeaten in the 1970s.
Q – What do you think of the Missouri fans ripping down the goalposts after beating KU in football?
A – I think it was stupid only because it’s dangerous. I hate to see one person someday get injured when goalposts come tumbling down. It’s OK to celebrate a victory even one over a team as bad as KU, but tearing down goalposts is dangerous. Pure and simple, it’s dangerous.
Q – Will KU beat Nebraska Saturday in football? HuskerRed.
A – Relax, Husker. You are gonna win, 71-3.
Q – What will occur first. A KU victory over Kansas State in football or a K-State win over KU in basketball?
A – I’d have to say a KSU win over KU in basketball. Only because teams play 2-3 times a year in hoops. There is a chance KSU may catch fire some night and beat the Jayhawks. KSU will hammer KU in football next year in Manhattan. You’d think KU would sweep the Cats in hoops this year, but injuries play a far greater toll in hoops. I would say at this time on paper, KSU has no business beating KU in hoops anytime soon and KU has no business beating KSU in football. But stuff happens in college sports and youneverknow.
Q – Gary, Washburn is coming to town next week. Doesn’t John Crider play for them now? What do you think of John’s career?
A – John Crider is a great kid who played here two years after starring at Horton High. I’ll never forget going to “John Crider Day” celebrations in Horton where the city went wild when John signed with KU. He held babies, signed autographs, shook hands. It was an amazing day.
It didn’t work out for John here. He never was awarded anything but mop up minutes.
He elected to head to Washburn where he has played well. He is a great great guy who decided he wanted a chance to play significant minutes and those minutes weren’t coming here.
It’s not because John didn’t work for those minutes. He in fact is a tireless worker known for his four to five hour individual workouts in the gym. He lit it up on so many occasions for Horton High in high school. I believe he topped 50 more than once.
This guy is the definition of class and I hope he makes a lotta jumpers on Tuesday night at Allen Fieldhouse. John Crider is a good man and you should give him a loud, loud ovation Tuesday night.
Dat’s it for now. Goodbye, good luck and dunk you very much.
