Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Roberts, and as always I am your good friend and host Steve Robertson here on the Wednesday night edition of the yard. It's been a busy day, and I'll explain to that to you a little bit. I had a long, long conversation with Zach Selman today. That is now a free article over at jeanspage.com. Due to the importance of the content, we made that free. A lot of times we put things like that, exclusive interviews behind a paywall, but I felt like, you know what, there's been a lot going on, and I think you folks need to hear from your athletic director. So we set up a meeting today. I was able to get in there and spend over an hour with Zach. And some things we talked about off the record too,

and some things that I shared with him that have been passed along to me from some of you.

I shared that with him directly.

Some of you on Facebook know exactly what I'm talking about.

Just some things on game day that you've seen and experienced.

And,

you know, I thought, you know what? I want to make sure that he gets these suggestions and complaints, right? Guys, the dialogue is important. The dialogue is important. We can't just talk

about how great we're doing. and we are doing some amazing things.

But in order for us to truly get better,

we have to embrace negative feedback.

I talk to my staff about that all the time.

When people say, hey, man, I wish we had more basketball content.

Well, you know what?

We've got to allocate some more people to go work on that. You know, hey, Steve, I wish we had more basketball content. Well, you know what? We got to allocate some more people to go work on that. You know, hey, Steve, I wish we had more of this, more of that. Well, you know, you got to give people what they want. I'm a firm believer in that. But you can't give everybody everything they want because we're not all going to agree. We're going to talk a little bit about that more later in the show.

Listen, many of you have already received your copies of the dude. I've already started getting

some reviews. Some of you have not received your copies yet. And so I was apprised today that the file

of pre-orders have been shipped. I guess there may be one or two that didn't get out.

There's some, when people buy, you know, several books, they have to construct a box.

You know, it's not as just putting it into a, you know, a mailing sleeve and putting it in the mail.

When there's that many box, there's many books, there is some special shipping and handling that has to occur.

And again, I have a lot of people that message me. And I understand, listen, you're just eager

to get your books. I'm not upset about that, okay? But I want to make sure you understand.
