JUST HAD A LITTLE EXTRA OOF TO
IT DIDN'T IT >>.
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT YOU COULD
HEAR THE EMOTION DURING THE
POSTGAME PRESS CONFERENCE AS
WELL AS IN THE LOCKER ROOM HERE
WHEN HE WALKED IN TO GREET HIS
GUYS.
GUYS.
GUYS. NOW
GUYS. NOW WHAT'S SO SIGNIFICANT ABOUT
THIS GAME, BRITTNEY, IS THAT
HIS DAD WAS ACTUALLY THE DEAN
OF STUDENTS AT LOYOLA CHICAGO.
AND SO WHEN HE WAS TAPPING HIS
HIS SLEEVE THERE HIS DAD'S
INITIALS WERE ON THE SLEEVE
THERE THAT HIS FAMILY MADE THIS
SHIRT FOR HIM THAT HAS THE
NUMBER 12 TO INDICATE HEY, THEY
WERE PICKED DEAD LAST IN THE
PAC 12 AND HERE THEY ARE WITH
THE NUMBER SIXTEEN ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE SHIRT MEANING THEY
WERE AT THE SWEET SIXTEEN.
JUST A BEAUTIFUL STORY TO SEE
HIM SUCCEED AND HE GREW UP ON
THE CAMPUS OF LOYOLA CHICAGO
WITH HIS DAD WORKING THERE.
SO THERE'S THIS FAMILY
CONNECTION THERE AND AS YOU'RE
WATCHING THESE GAMES WITH
OREGON STATE, YOU CAN NOW SEE
HIS WIFE, HIS DAUGHTERS AND HIS
SON TRACE IN THE AUDIENCE JUST
GETTING SUPER EMOTIONAL ABOUT
EVERY GAME.
EVERY GAME. BUT THIS ONE JUST A LITTLE MORE
SPECIAL TO SHARE THAT WITH HIS
DAD WHO HAD THAT CONNECTION
WITH THE UNIVERSITY SO SUPER
SIGNIFICANT VICTORY FOR COACH
