Hey, Stephen Pearl is here.

He's the head coach of the Auburn Tigers, man. How good does that sound to say? Man, it's not gotten old yet, so it's been, it's been good. How are you guys doing? Doing great. Good to see you. Thanks for coming by. Thanks for remembering our names now that you're the head guy. Can't forget those little people, you know? Hey, you were doing a raid, Brown. you see what I was showing?

Oh, I know.

I didn't even have to look at the photo.

I don you know. Hey, you were doing a raid, Brown.

You see what I was showing?

Oh, I know. I didn't even have to look at the photo. How is Nellie? She's great. She's five and adjusting to being an older sister. They're great with kids, though, aren't they? Yeah, especially when Laney's just dropping food every single time we feed her. and Sohern know they've gotten along a lot better

as a plate.

How is the transition to being a real Laney's just dropping food every single time we feed her. And so her, no, they've gotten along a lot better at the plate.

How is the transition to being a real dad? It's been good. It's been good. Lainey's super easy. Britney's like,

was made to be a mom. So she's made it just incredibly easy for me. But it's been a lot of fun.

You know, she's at the age now where she's crawling a ton and pulling up on things

and just smiles all the time.

So it's a really fun age. And she's just been super easy. Yeah, she smiles all the time until you lose a game. That's all. Then she'll be like everybody else. That's true. Then she'll be miserable just like the rest of us. She'll be throwing food at you.

So I think I'm right about this.

The first time you guys put on the uniforms and you're on the sidelines,

it's going to be at Bowell, right? That's right. Yeah. Birmingham on Wednesday of next week when we play Oklahoma State. Yeah. So what, I mean, this seems like it all is going so quick. I mean, it's happening fast and you're going to be in an exhibition game in front of fans. how fast does this seem to be moving in your head right now and for the team?

Yeah, I mean, I think we're at the point now where we've been, you know, beating the crap out of each other since June 1. And I think our guys are just excited to play somebody else at this point. So obviously since the announcement, you know, it's how long has it been like almost three weeks now? It's just flown by. Not enough hours in the day at this point. But luckily, we've had this group together since the beginning of the summer. So we've got a lot of time together to kind of get this thing, you know, heading in the right direction, get a good, you know, a good, you know, a good bit of our stuff in offensively and defensively. So I think we're in a pretty good place right now. I love that we're

doing this, you know, October 15th before our first game. That gives you a ton of time just to

really dissect what we did well, what we didn't do well, to make adjustments for another scrimmage

we have at the end of the month in Atlanta against a really good Memphis team before we have to

open up, you know, our three, we have a three home game slate, you know, before we really get into the thick of things with Houston and the players era.
