Welcome to On The Bench. I am Brennan Sonone. This is a Chris Nielis episode. Let's pour

0:23.6

one out, fellas, for our fallen comrades. Off you on the floor. Oh, no, it's a mess. Chris is

0:29.4

covering golf today, which we will get to in a buyer's known segment later on. It's going to be a

0:33.7

busy podcast. I got Josh Newberg, Zach Blossom. We're talking about recruiting. We are going to

0:39.8

get into some, some trends. But first, first, Josh, I want you to spin a yarn, give our listeners a

0:50.0

glimpse into what your college days were like as a super soccer fan for the official women. Given

0:56.6

that they're going to, yep, that's what we're starting the podcast with. We have a lot to talk

1:00.0

about. That's what I'm choosing. You're your fandom of women's soccer. Yeah, I told you the other

1:50.2

them, stuff like that. And there's just a lot of camaraderie. We like to go to the women's soccer

1:55.5

games. There were a lot of fun. I mean, they're really good. Like we, even when I was there, I

2:00.4

graduated no five for the state used to beat the crap out of everybody. So it was fun to go to.

2:05.4
