Here is Steve Sarkisian. Of course, they're the only team that's back in this spot from last year.
00:06
The Final Four was a much different format last year, but Sarkisian says job's not done. We got a lot of work to do.
00:12
You know, we didn't come this far just to come this far, I guess would be what I'd tell you.
00:16
It's how it's manifested itself. It's like the journey's not done. This is not complete.
00:20
It's still a driving force behind what we do every day, why we wake up so early, why we stay so late,
00:27
why our players come in on an off day when we were asking them not to be here,
00:32
and they're in here watching tape, working out, stretching, striding, getting rehab.
00:37
It's all that. It's all that continues to push you, because none of this is guaranteed.
00:42
Today's not guaranteed, but none of this is guaranteed.
00:45
It's not like, well, we'll just get back here again next year.
00:48
We're back in the Final Four for the second consecutive season,
00:52
and those other three teams that were here a year ago with us didn't make the 12-team playoff,
00:58
never mind the Final Four, so nothing's guaranteed.
01:00
It's difficult to get to this spot, and we want to make sure that we maximize this opportunity
01:05
and put our best foot forward and see what happens.
01:07
Thanks, Coach. They'll go next year, too, with Arch Manning.
01:11
In fact, they'll be favored to win it next year, and so they have the best quarterback in the country
01:16
who doesn't play now. I hope they win, to be honest with you, because I hate Ohio State
01:21
as much as I hate the Chiefs, okay?
01:25
So I'm hoping, and I can't even stand Texas, but they're playing at home.
01:31
I mean, that's 100,000 people rooting for them at home in Dallas, in Arlington, at Jerry's Road.
01:37
It's a home game. Ohio State has to go in front of 100,000 fans and win,
01:42
as if they were playing at a big house. That's what this is about.
01:47
Ohio State's a professional football team, and they're playing in front of 100,000 Longhorn fans.
01:52
That's exactly what's happening. I don't see how you don't take the points.
01:56
I mean, Texas is playing at home.
01:59
I'm taking them. Texas plus 5.5, 53.5 is the total as we get a little closer to that game on Friday night.
