It's time for a postseason conversation with Michigan softball coach Bonnie Thole here on the

Michigan Insider on the Big 1050.

WTKA online at the big 1050.com.

Bonnie, welcome back to the show.

How are you?

I'm doing well, Ira.

I'm here in Oklahoma City.

We arrived late last night.

We had two different flights out from Detroit and happily in Oklahoma City

getting ready for NCAA play with our first round opponent against Kansas and, you know,

we're going to get used to the heat. You know, we went from 60s to 50s and 60s when we left town to, we're going to have

high 80s as we practice today.

Yeah, then you guys are going to bring that back to us when you guys come back from Norman

as it's 85 or whatever next week here in Ann Arbor. So yeah, that's part of this time of

year is acclimating. It's probably pretty similar when you have the first trips of the year back in February where you have to acclimate after we've been in like 30-degree weather here, and it's obviously a lot warmer wherever else you're playing softball in February. Absolutely, that's exactly what it is. And we're happy to acclimate to that cold or to that warm weather from the cold weather

and um you know we had a little bit of taste of it on one of our flights last night it wasn't the

cooling system wasn't quite up to par and um but that's okay again we're uh the theme of the week is

we're joyful we're joyful to be uh week is we're joyful. We're joyful to be practicing together.

We're joyful to be connecting.

We're joyful to be growing together.

And that's exactly how we're approaching it.

So we'll get to Sunday night when you find out officially that you have another week,
