though yeah I love it man speaking of the Georgia championship pedigree and then coming here being a little different something you weren expecting now in your second year with ap I'm a little more comfortable is it more familiar to the time you spent in Georgia as as far as preparation mentality and going towards that Championship uh mentality ah definitely um Coach man he he's about his team
