Yeah, just to echo what Art said, we were very open, not minded going into this and interviewed really, really an awesome group of candidates. And, you know, I think Mike's resume speaks for itself. Learned a lot through the process, but we're excited Mike McCarthy's the head coach.
Mike White did a really good story on Mike McCarthy's youth sports career, Bob. Tremendous stuff filled with photos. He was a teammate, I believe, of Archie Manning. Not that Archie Manning, but the Archie Manning who owns Archie's downtown, right?
Yes, that Archie. And Mike White, he has so much knowledge of covering these guys from the beginning. And I'm anxious to see it because I didn't see it. I just heard about it from you, so I'm going to read it when I get done.
He graduated in, let's see, 1981 from Bishop Boyle, I believe, right? And there he was a pretty good basketball player. Basketball was his best sport. Did you know that, Bob? I didn't know that. 6'2", 220. And he had big games when they were pretty good. 23 in a loss to Alderdice, 23 against South, 22 against Sarah, 20 against Canavan. And they went on to win a state title right after he left. He was on a pretty good team, and then they took the next step the next year. And getting back to St. Rosalia, do I say St. Rosalia's, Bob, or just St.
Rosalia's? I think it's Rosalia's.
Yeah. I'm not sure. Listen to this. Fifth and sixth graders in 75, they finished 39-1 and won a diocesan championship. How about that? He has a big history. I didn't even know about that one. That's legendary stuff right there. And he also, by the way, helped keep that school open, apparently, with donations, according to this story. I think it closed a while ago, but he helped keep it open for a while as well. All right, Bob. Look at that. Um, let's get back to the news conference limits from yesterday. You pull key clips and then Bob and I will riff on them. Does that sound like a plan? Yeah, it sounds like a plan to me guys. Does it sound like a plan to you? Yes. Let's go. It looks perfectly nice out there.
I I'm, I'm baffled as to why certain things aren't happening. My daughter's she's just off school the rest of the week. Bob, it's perfectly nice out there.
It's cold for a little bit. And even if those, you know, if you have to go to a bus stop, whatever, dress warmly, you're going to get on a bus, get there. I'm sorry. I'm one of those guys. I want to go. And I don't think it's very healthy for kids to stay at home trapped in a house when there's no need for it right now.
Joe, the feels like is negative one. The kids can't be out there. They'll freeze.
Last I checked, limit school isn't outside. But you're going to spend 95% of your day indoors.
You know, that's it. Well, I guess administrators don't like kids having to walk outside and that. They might get frostbitten. And I think what it does to... I'm just... Honestly, I think some administrators actually have that opinion.
I remember us growing up, man, and I know it's a different time, but we didn't have Zoom classes. There was no such thing as stay at home and do it remotely.
