All right, excited to be out there today.

You know, a lot of work since we've got here has gone into obviously building the roster,

but all the things around the program.

And so to go out there day one today to finally be able to be out there in a practice format

was great.

You know, kind of had a moment before too too, of, you know, just reminding myself

of how grateful I am to be here appreciative, but also to responsibility level that I have

coming here to LSU, to the people of Louisiana, the great players and coach that have been

here before. So, you know, I don't not understand that.

And that was pretty cool just thinking of that as I walked out on the field today.

And I thought our guys' energy level was high.

I thought their excitement was there.

Now, we have a lot of work to do, you know.

I said that the first day that we got here and now that we're into

practice format, you know, things don't happen overnight. You know, it takes a lot of work to get

a program up to an elite performing program level. And so we're making some first steps,

but there's a ton of work to do.

And like I said before, we've assembled a good roster.

But at the same time, too, there's a ton of work

that goes into that to get program backup

to where everybody around here wants it to be

and why the reason that we came here you know it was seven and six last
