um you know it's a super big event that we're all excited to to be able to have the chance to come attend um you know darus and Cody and I are super excited to be here and represent go for football and a Class Act yeah and you've got an opportunity to do and experience some things last night uh the famous steakhous St Elmos here they've got the famous shrimp cocktail um you got to experience that with the uh that cocktail sauce yeah what what you how' you how'd that go oh man it knocked our socks off yeah we me and Darius uh I thought we did a pretty good job with the first bite and then we the second one we loaded it up with cocktail sauce and that's the one you feel right in your head you know it goes all the way to the top of your head and you get dizzy for a second and then you kind of come back to reality like I don't know if I want another bite of that yeah that will clear your sinus is pretty quick yeah yeah it's and for us it's kind of a yearly thing now and we have basketball tournaments here that will make the the TR there so that that's I always have to ask about that uh when when anyone ever tries it for the first time um there were some other things um you and I had a chance to talk on the radio side of things um things that since you've gotten here you've gotten to do um you were out to otel County to do some fishing as part of an nil deal with several of your teammates uh and you grew up fishing in Georgia so how was fishing in Minnesota it was a blast you I I thought uh I thought fishing you know where we were you know competed pretty good with where I fished at um you know we were you know consistently catching you know four or five pound bass every single cast it was amazing um thanks to our our fishing guide for helping us you know putting putting us on some good fish um it was a blast though it was like it was me and Darius versus uh Logan and Danny stral um Logan's actually from the area Logan RoR is from perm so it was it was kind of a homecoming for him um but obviously you know he didn't come out with the win on top the defense kind of got their butts kicked by the offense um our boat reeled in some pretty good fish rumor had it your boat reeled in fish but you were the guy right you brought in a bunch it was lucky yeah it depends on the bait we all different baits on and I happen to have the the best one on um but we had some pretty astounding fishermen in the boat yeah so you grew up on the water right fishing and doing different things around the water yeah yeah my my dad grew up fishing on Lake Erie um always talked about catching big walleye and um and so his his grandparents and his uncles kind of they all grew up fishing and then um I got to do that with my little brother in high school and in Middle School um and then could get out with my friends anytime I could yeah so um your background um you're new to Minnesota obviously you've been playing football for a while you mentioned like Erie so where are your family root start and then kind of take us through I mean give us the synopsis of Max bremmer's life here yeah for so my parents grew up in Ohio they're they both went to Ohio State so I was a a big 10 baby I I grew up um loving Ohio State football um I I was actually born in in Davenport Iowa wow so I've been mixed around a little bit to the Big 10 but um i' lived a little bit of my childhood in Ohio and then um we moved to Toronto for 3 years um so I had some Canada and may for a little bit and then went to Arkansas for a year um not too far we uh we're Drake's from he's from uh fville and I I lived in Bentonville Rogers Area in Arkansas and then been in Georgia for the past uh 12 years now 11 12 years so um I've had a blast doing it it was definitely unique moving around growing up um but I I think it was really cool outcome for me and my family yeah you have friends all over the world now pretty Co yeah I mean you think about exper um where you get to live in different places in New Hampshire for college and now Minneapolis so even Even After High School you've had some opportunity and then you figure all the different places New Hampshire went for football and even if it was just for a day you got to visit right yeah I've been around yeah I think New Hampshire was a really cool spot for me because I I I wanted to be away from my family um I kind of wanted to do my own thing and and get up um and new hamper happened to be a you know a good spot and end ended up being the perfect spot for me and my family and um you know they came up to every game and so they got the taste of the the northeastern culture and you know now we're coming over to Minnesota now to the the Midwest and back to the Midwest for them I guess and so now I get to to live it in part of my college career so growing up did you have like Buckeye sweatshirts did you did You' make it a point your parents watching games on Saturdays yeah yeah I grew up going all the games were in Ohio and then you know I had AJ Hawk uh fat head on my wall like the whole wall was taken up by AJ Hawk um I was a big Choice Smith fan uh I got a signed football Jim Trestle in my room still currently that's still there um that's part of like my family culture I guess you could say is like we were big Buckeye fans growing up and you know all those you know historic years where we got to be fans it was pretty cool yeah well your current head coach PJ Fleck was a grad assistant for Trestle did that help uh did you guys have some common ground to talk about there a little bit it's kind of cool yeah I think I think more from my dad cuz he was a huge Jim Trestle fan and so it was like I think coach Fleck talks about why he wears a tie and my dad was was pretty it's pretty cool for my dad because it was a gem trussle connect and um it's it's it shows you how small of a circle football really is yeah no doubt and PJ still talks about Trestle will during the season text him almost every week you know check up on him how's the season going so I think that's that's pretty cool so AJ Hawk was your guy growing up that was your uh my defensive guy yeah I definitely emulated Troy Smith a lot Trophy winner that was like the first quarterback I really remember from Ohio State that I could watch at what point then did you realize football like okay I'm I'm pretty good at this I have a chance to you know create a a future for myself through college and who knows from Beyond there yeah um I started really playing in Toronto and Canada but I played receiver over there um and obviously the rules are a little bit different so moving from Toronto to Arkansas I kind of made the transition from receiver to quarterback um and then I got to Georg on fifth grade and that's where I kind of took off with quarterback and um Georgia football is no joke especially when you're like you in a feeder program going to a high school it's like you start in middle school and you're running all the offensive plays from you know the high school that you're going into um and it's a year round thing there's no you you might be able to run track and they say they can you know they push you to do more sports but you don't really have a ton of time to do it yeah um which makes Georgia high school football awesome because ultimately you have a lot of really talented players because all they're doing is football um and I got ended up being a really cool situation um with my team in in Centennial High School in Roswell Georgia um I got to my head coach was deshun Watson's coach in high school in Gainesville um and so we did some really cool stuff High School had a blast for doing it yeah and um Roswell Georgia the golfers have a few other guys over the course of time seems too like George's kind of become I don't know how to phrase it it used to be big 10 teams hit Texas and Florida a lot to go get skill players and I think George's kind of become that new almost third option because the high school football has risen to such a high level Gophers have a lot of Georgia guys over the years PJ's staff has hit that a lot and Roswell there's been guys from from there and it seems like go around the Big 10 there always seems to be a a Roswell Georgia guy sprinkled out about the Big 10 I'm sure in the SEC also yeah it's definely become a hot bed um over the past 5 10 years I it's been ridiculous I think the the new high school football kind of switch over from it it's becoming more of of college now as like college is moving towards the NFL a little bit high school now is becoming a little more College like and it's it's kind of scary you kind of lose the the high school like the Friday Night Lights it's become more of a business now there's high schoolers in Georgia making a million dollar deals and it's like become so money driven and where it's like now you're losing what football really means and it's just hanging out with your boys you know playing football on a Friday night right most of those guys don't get to play in college and it's like the few players that are lucky enough to even make it um it's it's become a business and it's not the same yeah take me through the recruiting process so you had a high school a successful High School career um how didd you end up in New Hampshire what were your options and did that put some chips on your shoulder to to go out and uh and play the way you did yeah I think my goal coming out of high school was to play division one football I think everyone sets their goal is really high and to go power five and I P4 I guess and um but I just wanted to play D1 football whether that was um you know at the mid- majors power five level you know FCS wasn't a wasn't a spot like I didn't want to play FCS I knew I was better than FCS but when that came around and I realized like all I'm not really getting a lot of FBS love um New Hampshire came in it was perfect timing um you know it end up being an amazing school choice for me I would never I would never choose another school over New Hampshire in that situation um I I I have I didn't look back you know I I took it a run with it um I had an amazing coaching staff um some best friends that I'll you know have for the rest of my life um and it really opened my eyes up to you know how talented players are in the FCS people don't realize how talented people are in the FCS and um I think that's you know where I grew the most U for football was at the FCS level at New Hampshire and what I learned the most coming from you know coach Mack um who had been there for 20 something years and he's a legendary coach in the FCS um and then moving to coach Santos um with my you know offensive help with with my OC coach Brian Scott and Coach beler I I grew so much with my team that was that was my next question because even just a general college student whether they're not an athlete or not you come in to me yes getting a degree is important that can help you but just the growth you make at that point in your life you create a new network of friends as you mentioned you've got you know friends for life from New Hampshire um but from a football perspective from your freshman year coming out of high school tell Walter pton you know trophy finalist what was the growth like and I mean you can see even just the the the game logs you know nothing freshman and then the next thing you know you've put together some really good years yeah um I think the growth piece is is something that's different for everybody I think the we talk about the line of success and it's not it's never a straight line it's never linear there's always you know ups and downs um with success and people who are successful people uh learn how to battle those dips um and those highs and lows um you know for me I think everyone's you know for the most part as you go from freshman year to senior year your play will get better because you've seen the same competition you understand the offense you understand how to play football at that level um but really what grows and really what should grow for a quarterback in that situation is your leadership and I got the opportunity to play as a freshman in New Hampshire um I started after my after I started my second game there as a freshman um and it was it was very very challenging you know I think that I was you know I was think I was talented enough skillful enough to play my as my fresh as a freshman year um but leadership wise I had no idea how to lead seniors in the room like I was I was a freshman that just came in in January cuz I graduated early yeah um and I'm trying to lead you know offens linan who have been there for 5 years um that's a really difficult intimidating probably very very intimidating um and so I think that's where the most growth you know came was learning how to lead new people and new situations and because everyone comes from different backgrounds which is the coolest part about football um is you get a Melting Pot of people from that locker room from amazing backgrounds that you know you could never imagine um and learning how to lead those those people on a daily basis is so much fun it's a it's a new challenge every day um and ultimately if you're here you can play football but the hardest part is leading yeah and so you've you accomplished a lot and then the time came you had that extra year um you can stay and see what you can accomplish at New Hampshire you said you wanted to be a division one player so because of your success you had options the thing that I thought was kind of cool was the comments that the coaching staff at New Hampshire had after you left they because I would think there could be some situations at that level like well gez I found this guy I brought him in I developed him he was very good and now he just leaves me H that was not the case it didn't seem with New Hampshire they were really proud of the work you did and they're like yep he's off uh he gets a new challenge and it seemed pretty amical there with with everything I'm extremely grateful for that coaching staff um some of the best guys have been around um and I think they're number one they're their their ceiling is extremely high I can't wait to see where they go um with their careers but um you know I I can't be more grateful enough for for allowing or for them allowing me to kind of explore new options and it wasn't like a hey can I do this I'm like hey I'm thinking about doing this what are your opinions um and they are super supportive out of the way you know obviously they want me to stay and um finish out my career in New Hampshire and um but you know they know that my goals are to to play as as far as I can and as long as I can and um you know ultimately there's there's benefits and and negatives of both sides um and they let me make my decision but give their full support either way yeah and so how did the um how did the romance start with Minnesota and what other who else was kind of knocking on your door and take me through that whole process cuz it was pretty quick after the season right I mean gopher's quarterback leaves and within I think a day maybe or two uh you were set to become a gopher yeah uh the portal is insane I think people keep using the the term wild wild west and it's just it's absolutely un unbelievable I think I was trying to I was trying to keep my entry in the portal pretty you know quiet and lowkey I didn't want to become this big flashy guy like they I think it was like 48 seconds or something stupid where it was like they found out and I didn't tweet it I I I didn't even put on social media and then it's just in New Hampshire quarterback you put your name in and then the next thing you know it's yeah and your I think your phone number is attached if you want it and in the portal people can text you and DM you and um it was insane I don't think I had a spare minute for about you know four days of people just you know constantly texting me and texting me and texting me like how'd this guy get my number um but I I I think you kind of sort through that with the people around you trying to find a good support staff like my family is an amazing support staff um and bouncing ideas of my mom my dad um even my little brother too and it was extreme extremely helpful for me and I got to to do it in the comfort in the comfort of my own home and I got to be home while I did it um which helped me a ton um and I think for Minnesota it it ended up just being a really good situation um you know I had I don't want I don't like talking about schools I think it's you know chitchat a lot I think it's too much talk and ultimately you end up where you're supposed to end up and Minnesota was the school I was supposed to go to um I truly and firmly believe that um and I can't thank coach Fleck and Coach Harbo and the coaching staff for for taking me in um you know without even with barely knowing me I mean same on both sides we had like less than two weeks to make the decision um it happened so quickly so um we kind of had to just roll with it and and see how it went and I think it's been going great so far yeah and when when you talk about that PJ's comment on when when he's recruiting a high schooler it's a it's um a long-term uh Court when you're recruiting transfers it's speed dating like you're just it's like lunch you know let's have lunch and see how it goes so how was it that Minnesota struck a chord with you that um through this speed dating trying to find the right mix what was it about the coaching staff and the school that was like all right this is this is the spot I think it all started I I I'll would take that back number one thing was Ive heard of you know coach Flex success at at Western Michigan and um you know he and that and I was like oh it was kind of like this this coach you kind of never really you know see or hear about but it's like the guy like oh my God this guy is the man and then I finally met him and I was like he's he is really down to earth for me and and represents the stuff that I represent um with culture and values and morals and you know I got to to come visit Minnesota and the thing that turned it for me was when I met with the the older guys the Leadership Council at the time um in December I believe or January whatever around there um I think it was December and it it completely turned it for me like I you know I was going in with an open mind and I didn't want to like walk out or I was like I'm in with Minnesota I wanted to kind of take with my options and figure out and sort of through um but after I met those guys it was clear that it was the right school for me and um we had an immediate connection right away um with the older guys and I I'm still really really close friends with those guys who were in that room who who who was on that group that you you could tell was okay this guy's been through it he knows what the program's about and that's this is what I want to be part of yeah I would say all of them really but the guys that that really made a difference for me were Danny stal um Quinn Caroll Daniel Jackson um arante erser um those guys really made a big difference for me Cody was in there Cody was my host and um Cody's here today obviously and you know we've been pretty tight since um you we have we have pretty good battles in the field and Spring ball and Summer Ball and uh we're having a blast but I I I think those guys have really made an impact on my career here so far and I think there was a video you guys video game you and him right you against Cody was it is that right did I remember that right that's not a wasn't a good outcome for me did he beat you yeah Cody did yeah he's he's a uh he likes to play Madden a lot um and I think it translates pretty well in the new game like I I played NCAA growing up and you know the last game we had was NCAA 14 which was what 10 years ago um but no excuses here right they he uh he beat me pretty good you know he was checking plays at the line of scrimmage and I'm not sure how to push the buttons anymore like I don't play any video games anymore and I'm like how are you making these guys run these routes and I'm just I'm just playing like base quarters and I'm getting getting toasted um so it didn't work out for me very well but you know I had a blast dude we we have fun competing and those things are important right I mean it okay it's a video game but you're creating connections and and cuz you got to have the right chemistry the right mesh the Right Mix to to to win games right yeah right yeah I talked um I talked earlier about um you know vulnerability in a locker room um I think that's what really meshes teams is when people can become vulnerable with themselves and their team um and announce even even just talk to your brother about something that maybe you want to keep kind of inside um that's what really B bonds teams and um creates you know a chance for Success because ultimately at minimum you're working your tail off right you you need to work really hard every team's working really hard to become the best team they can uh but how can how can their team stick together as best as possible because ultimately every single team is going to have you know a few really really difficult times in this season um that's what you know makes football so challenging but the teams that can battle through it and stick together are the ones that are going to be successful and you know that what we're doing now with as a team is been unbelievable yeah more on that in a second I got to talk about one of our sponsors here we want to thank Affinity Plus it's your local credit union proudly serving Minnesota since 1930 if you're a current gopher student or a proud gopher Alum you're eligible to

stay tuned as they say it's people centered banking perfect for gophers and uh we're proud that uh we just had a great meeting with them they have re-upped with another year of sponsorship of our go goer podcast so great goer folks we want to thank Amber and everybody involved with them we have Max brosmer here it's episode 131 we're in Indianapolis Indiana goer football or Big 10 football media days the goer day is today we're recording on Thursday uh talking about that leadership that importance of chemistry and and building that kind of melting pot of a locker room as you talked about because you're right 105 guys from all kinds of different backgrounds and it it's a great I've always said it's one of the great teachers of life players are as prepared for life and challenges as anybody coming out of college I think whether you're an engineering major or the most simple of Majors what have you um you had to come in and really pick it up PJ's talked about that um from day one almost speed dating like we talked about you know create um I don't want to say artificially fast because I don't think there's anything artificial about your approach but you you had to expedite things cuz you know your time's limited you get a year here and you want to be successful and um so how did that come about from day one that you were you know instantly knew the importance of that yeah I think you know it's it's a combination of of me knowing that I have very limited time but also the team as well um you know they took me in insanely insanely quick I would say like I I'm not even sure I would take me in that fast but um you know it was it was a matter of me being there at the very beginning of January and then all of a sudden like you know people you know start to I feel like they start to follow um but it's it's a lot of work um and you know without their trust in me you know that quickly and that early it's hard for me to do my job um but ultimately I have to earn it every single day it's not just you know throwing a good ball like oh you're my guy it's a it's a day in and day out thing making sure that you know I'm doing my job to the best of my ability to make sure that my team can be the most successful team that we can um because ultimately I know that you know if I'm not doing my job we can't be successful you had that um which has now become kind of famous you hosted several of your teammates some skilled guys running backs receivers down in Geor I think that trip included um some work you were guys were working but also some just bonding things I think a Braves game we went out on the water for a while take me through I don't know how long was that and and how important that was yeah they all flew down on I think it was like a Thursday Friday morning I think Friday morning um and I picked them up and we went right to the lake so we did Friday afternoon evening Saturday Sunday um at the lake we have a a lake house in uh on Lake Hartwell which is the border of Georgia and South Carolina um so we did some boating did some grilling out you know we we had a blast up there and I think that's really important because obviously I haven't been here to to build off the- field chemistry with guys which is a huge part in creating that Melting Pot like I said um so we did that uh for a few days and that was that was a that was a blast um we cooked some really good food thanks shout out to my dad who's an amazing cook and my my mom didn't they're Saints by the way for taking in that many oh my it's ridiculous um and then we drove back m morning to Atlanta which is a couple hour drive that was super easy um then we did our did our started our workout routine so um we did throwing we did three days of throwing three days of working out at my gym at adapt um and then we did a Braves game so I got them all custom jerseys with their last names on them that was pretty cool um and then we did that was really we we got to do like a a community outreach event with my high school so we I took all the guys out and we coached up the younger guys during one of their practices that was pretty cool um and then yeah I mean we it was just a lot of fun I think you know we got a really good blend of off the field stuff but a really good blend of on the field stuff as well um you know worked out some of the ks that we were having in Spring and then you know got after it so I they they did a really good job yeah we had Daniel Jackson on the podcast a couple of weeks ago and he commented on the um he missed the first part cuz he was getting his diploma so you can't blame him for that but I think he said he missed the the uh the cabin and the Boating part of it but then he got in on the workouts and the Braves game and stuff and I could tell he was he was struck by it like it was it it meant something to him and he felt it was a huge like like it helped like you go through spring and you're fighting it out and you're doing different things but sometimes it's also good to get off campus and do something else and learn about your new quarterback and I could tell it impacted him yeah that that's the goal I I think I did it at UNH um at New Hampshire for I planned it out for like 3 years and then Co hit and so we couldn't go during Co obviously then the next year we didn't want to risk it either so we I did it my senior year at New Hampshire and I saw a crazy big difference in you know how we were how we were connecting um both on and off the field and it translated when we got back in summer um and I wanted to bring that here and I thought you know ultimately the guys have to want to come as well like they they could say and I don't want to go and then it just becomes just an idea that never makes it yeah um but the guys you know really bought into it and they said this is amazing idea let's do it um and so it it took took both parties but it was an amazing experience your um leadership of abilities um you talked about building that chemistry what's your style like if we see your leadership on display on the football field are you a fiery guy that's going to go you know get I I want to say get in the guy's face maybe you will but um will we notice like how what will we see as we watch a football game and you're leading the team yeah I think on the field and on the field in the locker room I think it all changes depending on the area my number one thing is communication um if someone's not communicating that's when I start getting pretty fiery but not in a bad way I think it's more of a but um it's coming from Love and empathy and the fact that you know we we have to all communicate together in order you know to to dictate our own success um but you know I I think number one for the locker room people have to bond together in the fact like I said vulnerability but also like love and empathy and I think you know I'm the guy that is the first guy to to tell you you know number one if we need to do better together we're going to do it together um but also if you're doing an amazing job I'm going be the first one to tell you you're doing an amazing job um and that's also part of communication and the part the the the moment that communication doesn't doesn't doesn't happen it starts to crumble um and then I'm also huge on work ethic I think if people aren't working the way that you know we need them to work um then we're not going to be a successful team and I'm I'm the first guy there if someone's not working hard to make sure they're on their stuff yeah um in a good way though again coming from the right background I think if people are coming from the wrong background or they haven't earned it to do it then it starts to become fake leadership and people don't listen into them and um so you have to earn that every single day and I love doing it I I really love it I love football in general um and that's what I think allows me to to do the things that I want to do competitive nature of you um I'm interested how this mix will work Gophers have been known we're going to run the football we're going to pound the ball the offensive line is built to run block Darius Taylor's maybe the best running back in the conference but you're a competitive quarterback knowing there's times where you're going to have to get the ball vertically downfield throw the football um win games so what's the mix there that you think is going to be we'll use that term mesh Point again the right number of runs the right number number of passes offense passing game struggled a little at Minnesota last year I mean you're you know a number one reason uh you know that all right maybe there's more of a passing attack so take me through all that that's a long wordy question but I hope you know what I'm trying to get know what you got um number one I think in order to in order for an offense to be successful they can't be one-sided um I think it's it's unless you're talking about a team like Air Force when they're running the triple op triple option the whole time and they're pretty good at it so I I don't I don't want to bash them for their offense but I think the most successful offenses are ones that can do both they can make um explosive plays in The Run game they can make you know the on schedule plays in The Run game um they can make explosive plays in the pass game they can make explosive plays that are mid-range passes where receivers can break tackles they can make the the quick easy throws look really easy um there has to be a blend of everything in order for you know you give you have to give the defense as much as you got um if you're only one-sided then they're you know it's it becomes monotonous and it's they know what to expect um but for me I think it's a it's it has to be a blend there has to be um you know there has to be compliment um within an offense and that's I'm really big on that I'm not a guy that says let's throw it 70 times um I had games at UNH where I threw it 60 something times and had a blast doing it but um were there times where I wish we ran a couple times to to help the defense kind of move up a little bit sure 100% um so that's what I mean when I say compliment is the Run game and pass game have to complement each other um make things look the same to make sure that we can get the defense the best we got yeah that complimentary situation is Big with offense and defense but even within the offense running the ball you know passing the ball could would you foresee and I I'm trying to phrase this the right way with your nature um because I can see there could be friction man we're running the ball so much but where you might suggest to a coach not demand but just go and say hey I can throw the ball man let's throw it here I mean I love Darius and I love this but let's push it a little bit yeah I would say I would say if that's if that's what the drive calls for or if that's what the game calls for for and that's part of the communication part that I have and um with Coach Harbo and you know we've been it's it you can see our relationship has grown immensely from when we when I first got here to to now and it's it's been a complete you know communication thing for us where if I'm seeing something already and and he's seeing something it's not like a butt heads thing it's let's talk it out what's the best situation for our offense um and I trust him with what he does he's he's an amazing uh Coach and he's going to be an amazing play caller I I I can see it already um I'm excited to play for him um the whole offense is really excited to play for him I really do believe that um and I think you're going to see something fun this year um with with really good complimentary pass game and Run game um we have playmakers all over the field so I'm excited to utilize all of them yeah I'm looking forward to it last one here for you because I know you got more TV duties here at media day and some other stuff uh your skill set um for folks that didn't see in Spring ball maybe they haven't watched a New Hampshire game describe yourself in 60 to 70 seconds uh what fans will see from Max brosmer yeah so number one I I I hope to be the best leaders I can I I think you're going to see that on the field I'm a guy that's always talking I'm never quiet I'm always talking even the line of scrimmage you're going to see me talking whether it's not through my face mask but you're going to see me talking um and then you know I I think that i' like to to act as as if I'm like a surgeon on the field you know I'm going to I'm going to do my best to make sure the balls moveing um I'm not going to force balls where they shouldn't be and I'm going to make sure the balls are completed um to the best of my ability um I think the teamwork piece is something that we've hit on a lot this year with our offense whether it's you know between the old line the receivers the running backs I think um that's something that we've grown a ton on um and you're going to see that on the field you're going to see everybody working as one unit um and that's my goal is to be to be the head guy of that and make sure everyone's in the right spot the right time um and getting the ball as The Playmakers are you a guy who can fit in a tight window Big Arm smart decisions all that stuff I try to pride myself on sorry we don't try um I pride myself on on making the best decision that's going to make them allall the make sure the ball is moving down the field and whether that's taking an explosive when we have one or if if we have an explosive play called and I have to check the ball down I'm I'm more than happy with that I really am I think um completions are what make a make a drive move yeah hey it was fun getting to Noya I know I'm looking forward to watching fall camp start next week the work has been going on and the work's now also in
