Big Sky Football Virtual Kickoff

[CelticCat]

Starts today at 10 MST. I'll be interested to hear Commissioner Tom Wistrcill's State of the Address right off the bat, but I'm guessing there won't be any new information there. Polls and all-conference teams will be released during the event as well.

It will stream on PlutoTV.

Here is the schedule, looks like Choate will go 2nd today behind Barnum. Which is awesome because I love listening to Barnum.

I didn't catch the commish's speech. It must have been quick. The first coaches group was a fun listen. Choate was the leader as usual but Barnum had some good lines. Definitely worth a listen/watch.

Here's hour 2 of T&N from yesterday. Segment one is a distilled version of some of Choate's comments on the zoom call. Definitely listen to segment two if you want to hear a stark difference between Choate and Hack.

One note on the Choate audio in the second segment: they cut if off too soon. After he finished speaking, the host (a black woman who works for the conference) thanked Choate for his words.

I listened to it yesterday and was planning on posting the link as well. I am proud to have Choate represent our program. At about the 27 or 28 minute mark, Tootel brings up how Choate and Hauck addressed racial tension in our society. If Tootel was giving grades for their remarks at the Big Sky Conference meeting, he would have gave Hauck an F and Choate an A. To summarize, Hauck gave a very disappointing response to a question regarding the topic. Choate was not even asked a question on race, yet prior to his time expiring, he mentioned that this was an important topic today and made a statement on race and his athletes. It was a proactive, thoughtful and encouraging message.
