Tech Talk Sports

Foreign. Hey, everyone. Welcome to Tech Talk Sports, an official podcast of technician NC State studio newspaper. Plenty to discuss this week, including March Madness. It's approaching on the horizon. Be ready. Wrestling and swimming ACC championships. Gunner Rivers. I'm Daniel. Suzanne. Next to me, Connor Vandermark. We're joined here by a new member, assistant sports editor Brennan Weiss. Say hello.

Hello.

Tech Talk was written to you by technician NC State student newspaper. Check us up on the web at technicianonline.com Instagram @NCSU, technician@techsports on X. And as always, you can pick up a copy of the print on the stands every Thursday. All right, let's get started. Men's basketball versus Virginia. You know that. What a shellacking. What a Sad performance from NC State, 90 to 61 Tuesday night. It was just. That was brutal stuff. And just like, you know, the previous game against Virginia, the Wolf Pack was never really in it and pretty concerning as far as March Madness and ACC standings go. Another blowout loss on the road against a solid team. I mean, they started out in the ACC 6, 0 on the road, but, you know, at this point, they've got anybody who they faced that's been fairly decent. It's been a blowout.

So a little concerning what. What are your comments on that, Connor, and. And Brennan specifically? Also about the SMU game. You know what. What worked for that game specifically for the Pack to. To win that, because that was the other game against Solid comp.

Well, I think, number one, I think the issue is, and it's something were talking about earlier in the season, NC State still doesn't have signature wins. The win at Clemson was good. The win at SMU was good, given SMU wasn't ranked at the time Clemson was. But outside of those two, I mean, sure, they beat what was UNC at the time? Number 16, I believe, like number 16. That will always have an asterisk on it because, I mean, they were missing their two best players. So they are still missing that key win. They have an opportunity to go in, get that key win. Lose by what, 29, something like that.

30.

I was thinking 30.

29.

29.

Oh, I'm talking about our next key.

Win opportunity against Duke. Oh, we'll get to that. We'll get to that.

We'll be there.

To be fair, you know, on. On that Tuesday night, I was celebrating, you know, as if we beat, you know, a dominant force in unc. But let's be real, they were handicapped.

So, yeah, I mean, could they still beat them with Caleb Wilson, Harry vsr. We maybe probably won't know. I would love to see a rematch in the ACC tournament. There's a lot building up there. I would. I'd love to see it. But in terms of that SMU game, I mean, there's two words as to why the SMU game was so much different. Quadior Copeland, 19 assists in that game. Quadri Copeland made up six, 16 of them. Didn't have a single turnover. You look at the game against Virginia, they shut him down. He had three points on 20% shooting, one board, five assists and two turnovers. He just wasn't his usual self. He's been playing at an all conference level this entire season and wasn't there.

Yeah, I think it's Virginia's just like a bad matchup for NC State.

That's what I mean.

They're bigger than NC State at almost all of the positions. I mean, you look at like they're playing Sam Lewis as a three. He's like six, seven big. Sometimes we have Matt Abel on him, who's tall, but, you know, he's not big yet.

Yeah, he's not big. But also, you look at the SMU win, they should have lost that game. You know what I mean? Claudia Copeland missed those free throws, and then it took a miraculous stop of Boopy Miller by Trey Holloman, which, you know, we probably didn't think he had that in him. Let's be real. Watching the rest of his defense throughout the year to get that stop and win the game, you know, that was a. That was a coin flip of a.

Final play and they could have called a foul there.

Yeah, I thought they were.

And then we probably would have lost the game. Yeah, that would have been.

But I think another big issue with this NC State team is their front court. Darren Williams, obviously, you know, off and on all season. At the end of the day, he's an undersized four.

Yeah.

And at the end of the day, Van Alen Lubin's an undersized five. Yeah, you go to the bench, you've got Mooseanya. He's not.

He's not ready.

Everything that Wade thought he was going to be, he was very excited about him. Preseason kind of has not lived up to those expectations. Could he eventually.

Absolutely. Definitely.

But there's also a huge difference between, you know, European basketball and American basketball. At the end of the day, American basketball, it's got its own style.

What do you say?

Well, in. In European basketball, I feel like they're a little more physical. You know, the goaltending rules. There are different when you can, you know, once the ball. I'm sitting here, I'm just staring at their. At Virginia's bigs and Johan Grundlow and the twig on. They had 12 blocks combined. I mean, geez. Musa, nine minutes, zero points. Venn, 33 minutes, 11 points. Who's four of 10? Fenn's been pretty consistent this season, but at the end of the day he's what, 6 foot 9, 6 foot 10? Yeah, like we don't have a big man.

He cooked Zaden High, but. But even then he didn't really cook himself. Yeah, well, all right, let's guess it also wasn't cooked.

I think technically.

Yeah, Zayden High form.

All right. Either way, another Tobacco road rival here coming up soon. Number one Duke. Anything can happen in this kind of game, but you know what needs to happen because you got Cam Boozer, a miracle. You've got Isaiah Evans, great from three point range and just a deep Duke team that also just outmatches NC State at most positions.

I don't know, man. I was watching that game Saturday night when they were the number three team playing against number one Michigan, and it just, it wasn't a stomping, but they looked confident. Like, I think Duke could beat any team in the country. I think they, at this point, yes, they're the number one. They're my title favorites.

I mean, I think they are second, officially speaking.

Michigan or Arizona, maybe Michigan.

They beat Michigan.

Right. So I mean, it's just. Yes, NC State has played pretty good in Lenovo up to this point.

Minus that has NC State.

I guess there's the Georgia Tech game, which I think we've proven at this point was an outlier. And then there's the Virginia game, which. But we've also established that.

Think about the Miami.

The Miami game was not a good game.

I forgot about that.

Oh my God, I should have won that game.

I trauma blocked that out of my mind.

But a lot of that offense was just Paul McNeil hitting a big time shot, no movement. And they still should have won that game. Yeah, and they still let it.

They were good for 39 minutes, but unfortunately basketball is a 40 minute game.

I think they were fine for 40 minutes.

For, for 39 minutes they were good enough to win.

Yeah, for 39 minutes they were good enough.

And then they were so catastrophically bad in the final, what, minute and seven seconds.

Also on. Was it a foul?

Yeah. They were definitely not the benefactor of any officiate yeah.

Compared to the. Ever.

No, they're. They're. They're rarely.

It doesn't happen.

If they were maybe the slight benefactor of any officiating. I mean, obviously, when the margins are that thin.

I'm still looking back at that Virginia game. I mean, I love Paul McNeil, but he should not be the guy taking the most shots on the team. And she especially should not be taking 16 shots.

Should he not be the guy taking the most shots on the team when.

You have Darian Williams and Quadrilla Copeland on your team?

No, I mean, in that. In the Virginia game, that's like saying.

Clay Thompson should be taking the most shots on the team.

In the Virginia game, when you have quite a.

Okay.

Well, when you're not able to.

When you're down 20 points for the entire game, I guess it's like a little different. You need the threes, and that's the guy to go to for threes. But still, it just. It doesn't sit right with me. 3 of 12 from 3.

I mean, the thing is that a lot of the time when the offense isn't working, they just give the ball to Paul McNeil.

I mean, he very much is like a volume guy. Like, kind of like how James Harden was like in her primary career. In the sense. Not saying he's like prime James Harden, but in the sense that he needs to put up a lot of shots in order to get those good games.

Imagine if Tarquavion Smith was on this team. Would he be. Would he be in a similar role as Paul McNeil?

Yes. Possibly because of Quadrille Copeland.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You don't have Quadri Copeland. That's a whole other story altogether.

But, yeah.

I think we've established at this point that quite the entire offense should be run through Quadri Copeland. I don't think it's even a question at this point. So he should be the primary ball handler for almost every possession. And then he chooses, you know, go to Paul in the corner, go to Darian in the post, or let's get a pick and roll going with Ven. Like, it's got to be one of those.

Yeah. All right, let's talk women's basketball, because we got Senior Night, or I guess it would be Senior Night, but there's no seniors tonight versus Wake Forest.

Senior night. For myself, it'll be my last game in Reynolds very soon.

Congratulations.

But, you know, women's basketball has been by far my favorite sport to cover in my time in technician. There's something about Reynolds Coliseum, dude. I mean, it. It is magical.

It is special.

They pack out every single time. It doesn't matter who they play.

Nice pun. All right.

Doesn't matter who they play. It doesn't. I mean, it's just one of the best environments I've ever. It's probably the best environment I've ever been in. And yes, I've been to Cameron, but for men's basketball, I went for women's. That's the thing. They did not. They did not pack out the stadium out there for Cameron or for women's. So. Yeah, but yeah, I think same issue with women's basketball. Aside from that win against number eight Tennessee, it was the first game of the season. They also don't have a statement win. They also don't have any crazy bad luck. There's the Rhode island loss, that was pretty bad, but other than that, like, they're just kind of there. Like, they always make it so they'll get a chance at that game winning shot against usc, against Louisville, against North Carolina, but it just never falls.

And the Duke came. Duke was concerning, too. Duke just kind of start to finish boat race. There was a chance in the third quarter where they looked good, and then they came out the fourth quarter and scored 27 points.

I think. I don't know. I think Duke is the only team in the conference you would be confident that would be NC State. I think NC State can beat anyone else in the conference. I think if they win this game tonight, they win their next game, they'd have the double buy in the tournament.

I don't know if that's guaranteed.

No, they have. So they have Virginia.

Virginia and Syracuse are the two that are vying for that 4.

Virginia has to play North Carolina.

And you know who Syracuse has to.

Play and Syracuse has to play Notre Dame.

There we go. So somebody read my article.

I did not read your.

I hate this guy.

I just pay attention sometimes.

Well, we'll. We'll. We'll find out what happens in a few weeks here, you know, when they head down to Atlanta for the ACC tournament.

I think the reality of the situation is this. It's not the same team that we've seen in the last couple years, you know, and obviously a big part of that isaiah and Saniya and Matty Hayes leaving, but it's just something about the composition of this team.

It's missing a leader. I was going to say we're missing another big player in the rotation.

They need bench. They need bench depth. There's no Bench depth. I said it two weeks ago and I'll say it today. There's no bench dumps at all.

Yeah. Should we get back to Gunner Rivers?

Gunner Rivers? Yeah, Gunnar Rivers.

Pretty big recruit. But let's be real. What do we really know about this kid other than that his dad is Philip Rivers? I mean, that pulls a lot of weight. He's a solid recruit, but 20, 27 recruit, you know, I don't know how much high school tape you've watched, but I haven't watched any. So I actually, I've seen that one clip where he kind of throws it sidearm like his dad.

Yeah, yeah.

Other than that, so it's cool. But you know, that's. That's a future me excitement type of thing.

Legacy recruits are always fun. And at the end of the day, Philip Rivers is the probably the best player to ever come out of NC State. You can make an argument for Russell Wilson, the Super bowl and all that, but then also, you know, he transferred and so people drop him on the list because of that. Phil stayed the whole time. I mean, he was the quarterback when NT State had its last 10 win season.

So.

Yeah, it was 2003. I wasn't even alive.

Yeah. So it's been a while. All right, let's get into baseball. Big game coming up on Tuesday. Number nine, coastal Carolina, midweek at 3:00pm here at the Doke. Pretty exciting stuff. You know, they've been just beating the brakes off of teams lately. You know, I think the differential is 62 to 5 in the last four games. Somehow they got shut out by Princeton and lost that game. So they're three and one in that stretch. But still through eight games plus 81 run differential, third in team era, they've been solid, but we haven't really seen them in action against a real tough team. I mean, Washington was solid, I guess. You know, you don't really know if they're solid yet. They're a Power 5 team or Power 4 team. But we'll find out on Tuesday. I guess I'll be there for that.

So I'm pretty excited.

Those in state matchups are always good. It doesn't matter if they're playing Duke or Carolina or ECU Coastal. I mean, it will always be a shootout, no matter what, and no matter where the teams are ranked.

Even Campbell?

Yeah. I mean, yeah, Campbell. Was it two years ago or last year, the midweek game where it went to like 14 innings and they went through like 10 pitches and lost.

Yeah, that Was brutal stuff.

That was some.

All right. Other Olympic sports news, you got softball. They're looking good at home after a 3 and 7 start to the season. They played in some tough opening tournaments though, so, you know, not too much of a shock. But freshman infielder Carly Short coming into her own batting.406. You also got Lily Livingston, also freshman, playing well, so hopefully they can. They can right the ship there. Wrestling ACC championships coming up in Blacksburg. It's really a two horse race as it seems like it is every year with Virginia Tech and NC State. The last 10 ACC titles have gone to either of those two teams. Six going to State, four going to Virginia Tech. But you know, number 16, NC. Number 17, Pitt. Number 18, Stanford.

They'll probably try to vie for the top spot, but, you know, at this point it seems like the Wolfpack and the. The Hokies are going to battle it out for that one and then. No, you go ahead.

I was just say I very much would like to see Isaac Trumbull go out right off into the sunset. Very Peyton Manning esque. I want to see him come back with a chip. You know, sixth year, he's been a program defining player, wrestler. I want to see it.

Yeah, let's see it. And then you got swimming ACC championships. Men place third, women place fifth. You know, it's solid perform. It seems like that's around where they place every year. We'll see where they end up in ncaa.

They have some special guys on the relays for sure. I mean, Quinn McCarty, Jerry Fox, Kai Winkler, like they. I wouldn't be surprised if they made some noise at NCAAs.

Yeah, it's. Especially in the relays. It seems like those relays, they have them down pat. Just the depth of that. That squad is very impressive.

Correct me if I'm wrong though, doesn't Virginia kind of run Virginia women in the ACC?

Virginia women's swimming, Californians. Yeah, I know there's like 17 of the last 19 or something like that.

Yeah. So pretty crazy stuff.

See how it works.

All right, well, let's get to campus happenings.

Yeah.

All right, let's do campus happenings here with university news editor Ali Tennant, Technician Unk, as we like to call here in the office, senior alongside me, Connor and. Yeah, that's. That's just us. But anyway, campus happenings. What you got for us? Ali, start us off. Hey, everybody look closer to the mic. Yeah, you can hold it. That's fine.

Sorry. As they said, I'm unk. I Don't know how this works, so I'm scared.

Don't be scared. Relax. It's all good.

To be clear, she is unk because she has been with technician for what is going on your fourth year. You've been here all four years?

I have been here for four years. I'm scared. I started here freshman year and I had a lot of hope and then, you know, it just kind of diminished over the years. So we're still here, but I'm here encouraging the future generation. This is like such an awkward position.

You can, like, move it a little.

Lean forward a little more.

Yeah, you can just lean it sideways.

Yeah.

But, yeah. So I've been here for four years, and a lot has changed on campus since we've been here. Fun fact University News editor used to not even be a title here. It used to just be news editors, but, you know, there was just a lot going on campus that we had to talk about. Right, Something like that. Yeah.

Let's start there.

So I was going to start with some, like, different things that we've seen. I know that we're all seniors, but I'm a junior. Oh, junior. Okay.

Transfer, though.

So transfer for a year and a half, actually.

Where did you transfer from?

Virginia Tech.

Okay.

Just a nice campus community.

Virginia fan, by the way, you're nowhere.

Close to the mic.

Move on.

Yeah, yeah. Both y' all need to lean closer.

Okay.

Okay.

It's like we're like sharing a mic. Brennan, tell me about yourself.

Too intimate.

Okay.

But so I will say I remember being here my first year in 2022.

Wow.

Yeah, it a long time ago.

Okay.

I'm in the same boat. I'm in the same boat.

The construction on campus, I feel like. And you guys can disagree with me if you want, but I feel like campus culture has changed drastically. And that could also because, you know, we don't live on campus anymore. But since, like, the construction of the brickyard of Court of Carolina's Poe hall, just all those things, you know, I feel like there's not really a community on campus anymore. Like that, you see, like, you know, I'll be walking outside of, like. I mean, I haven't even gone to the brickyard because it's not there. But, you know, I'll be, like, walking by Court of Carolinas or something. And like, no one is outside. No one's sitting there. There's no chairs there anymore. So NC State. What's up with that? Like, you know, I. I think it.

Was odd because I feel like at least when I was a freshman or about to be a freshman. Like, I feel like they. Everybody made a big deal about the Brickyard.

Yes.

Like, it's just a cool spot with all these cool designs, and it's this nice, open area where people can go and hang out. You know, it's right near the library. And if you want, you have, like, Chick fil a right there at the atrium and all that. And then what do they do? They rip it all up. Starting last year, and it's been under construction.

I have no recollection of what the.

Brick Rickyard is, really.

Because last year. Last year was my first year.

Wow.

So.

All right, sit down, little boy, and tell you what it was.

I think I went on a tour.

Was it.

When did they start, like, tearing it down? Because I think I remember it being there.

So.

Last year they started tearing it down. My sophomore year. Yeah. It was like, we had it for one year, and then they tore it down.

It was that.

Yes, it's been that long.

I think I remember seeing it because my high school went on a tour, and I was like, yeah, went on a tour, and they had, like. It was, like, Ag Week, I think. So they had, like, cows out and stuff.

I mean, I'm not going to sit here and act like it was anything special.

Like, okay.

At the end of the day, it was just, like, an open area with bricks and a little bit of grass.

They had, like, some picnic tables.

Yeah. But, I mean, like, they. I feel like it was hyped up a lot. Like, you know, when we used to win basketball games, like, back in the day, like, people would go to the brickyard and then go and celebrate, you know? And now it's a ghost town, and I walk through the brickyard every day to go to class.

Do you still have to, like, weave?

And I have to take a new path, like, every single week because there's always some sort of new construction, whether it's pressed all the way up to the library, and I have to go up the library stairs to go around. What is it? The free expression tunnel has been blocked off.

Yeah.

What? Year and a half.

Yeah.

I mean, insane.

It. I know. It's just the Brickyard. It's just a fun little place. Place you didn't even really stop there when you, like, walked through it. But it's still, like, the traditions and the values that it held. Like, I mean, we're all paying or putting some sort of effort to be here at college, you know? What even happened to people taking the Bricks anymore. Like. Yeah, yeah. What happened to the bricks?

Well, you remember when they, like, gave a bunch of them out?

Yes.

And they don't really do that. I feel like our, like, campus traditions have eroded a little bit.

They have, they have completely gone away. And that again, I don't live on campus anymore, so that could be why. But even when I, like, I talk to, you know, my writers or someone who is a freshman or something, I'm like, oh, what did you go do? Did you go rush the bell tower after, like a basketball win? No, we don't even do that anymore.

Like, so I was gonna tie it back to sports. That's perfect that you said that. I feel like another issue, like, with the erosion of campus culture is the fact that our two. Two of our biggest teams in football and men's basketball play a mile and a half off campus.

Yeah.

I mean, getting to those games is horrible. Right. And at the end of the day, everybody just wants to get out. There's no celebrating at the bell tower. There's no celebrating at the Brickyard because there's not a brickyard and you're in.

Traffic for like an hour. You can't get back there in time.

Well, the history actually surrounding the Brickyard is that during like the 80s, there used to be a bunch of bars on Hillsborough Street. So if you weren't able to go to a basketball game or a football game when they were closer to campus, you would go to the bars and then you would run to the Brickyard because that was like a big meeting area. But when people started rushing the bell tower during the Final Four, a amazing time. What it's like here in an X. It's just so beautiful for the Final Four. But when you're rushing the bell tower, it's like you're in that big intersection by the roundabout. You know, you are off the edge of campus. And it's more controversial to rush there with free flow.

Free flow traffic versus when you're on the Brickyard, you're in the middle of NC State's campus.

It really is. Like in the corner of campus, you cross the street, all of a sudden you're gone.

If you live in like Lee or Sullivan, it's like a 20 minute walk.

I forgot those existed.

That's where Sullivan's. Where I stayed. And I actually did end up.

Sorry.

Taking. Yeah, it was horrible. But I did end up having a break because, like, there was some uneven pavement stuff that was just all loose and they were tearing it down anyway. So I did end up Having that tradition at least of taking a break. But like anytime people wanted to go to the bell tower or something, everybody around, like West Campus and just university towers were like, all right, yeah, let's go. Especially if it was like for basketball, it's like colder weather. So it's like every single 30 minute walk down, like 40 degree weather.

30 degrees.

Well, all the dorms are, you know, like you said West Campus. So then you're expected to trek all the way to the northeast corner of campus. Which don't get wrong. Like the bell tower is cool, right? I love the light at red tradition. And I mean at the final four that was. Yeah, that was really second to non.

Did you ever get to go to that?

Nope.

Probably my.

One of my.

Probably one of my favorite memories on campus. But like it was a lot to get there. Like.

Yeah, I remember. Never mind.

What do you remember? Not for air.

Not for air. Never mind. I just remember me and my friends would go to some really extreme lengths to be at the bell tower on the final four. But were there safely. No one was hurt.

No one was hurt.

No one was hurt.

What that mean?

Nothing. It means. It means nothing.

All right, what do you think is the solution here? Just stop doing construction?

I mean, you can't really stop construction on campus. Since I've been in this position, like every year some person on campus or a writer will be like, oh my God, we need to talk about construction. They're doing this part. They're doing this part. I mean, NC State is one of the largest universities, not even in North Carolina, but on the east coast. So like, yeah, you're in the world. In the world. It's the biggest thing ever. But like, you can't stop the expansion towards it. Especially with the goal that I'm pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure it was Chancellor Woodson who put this in place with the campus plan to like improve campus for the next like 15 years.

The master plan.

The master plan. So, you know. Yes, it's like. How do I put this? You know, like when you're starting at the bottom and you just have to like. I think NC State is just entering a new trajectory of what they are going to be as a campus as a whole. But to do that, they are having to rip out traditions and rip out places that mean a lot to people just to restart it and do I think it's necessarily a bad thing? Kind of like, you know, when you're looking at expanding and building a new building on campus that's all glass. Versus when you have students in the chass departments who are in. Winston Caldwell. What's the other one over there? Winston Caldwell.

Tompkins.

Tompkins. I'm an English major. I should know that. You know, they're all in there, and classrooms smell like mildew. There's no. The technology doesn't work. The infrastructure is from the 80s. Like, the building is genuinely, like, falling apart. No hate on my girl Caldwell, though, because she's beautiful. But, you know, dude, the Centennial is great. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, it is. Like, it's a story of two campuses. No, and it will continue to because you have all of these new buildings that are just, like, awesome. I mean, no complaints whatsoever. And then you have these buildings that are really old with mildewy classrooms.

Yeah, but that's the tradition. That's the tradition, you know, do you.

Want to rip it up or is it. Never mind. I feel like that might be too controversial for this podcast.

What?

What?

What is. So.

I mean, NC State is a very STEM school, but sometimes I feel like they just might bat an eye at the humanities sometimes. And I mean that sometimes, not all the time, you know? But that doesn't mean that the humanities department here at NC State does not hold good opportunities for people. But that's just my beef with NC State right now.

Yes.

I mean, I remember I'm a history major, and I took a early modern.

I thought you were an English major.

I'm a double major. There's a thing, you know, you could do, like, two at once, right? Clock it. But, like, I had an early Modern French history class talking about, like, Joan of Arc. You guys want to know where this class was?

Where was this class?

This class was by the nuclear reactor in the nuclear building on main campus. Yeah, and I remember I had this poor little. Love you, Dr. Luria, if you're watching you probably, you're probably not. I remember he would be so scared because, like, obviously, yes, the nuclear reactor is not going to explode on us, but it's not. Thank you. Thank you. But, you know, he was always like, oh, well, guys, you know, class could be cut short today or something. Like, actually, cut that out. Cut that out. But yeah, it's just, you know, they're making these spaces and. Do you guys even know what classes are gonna go in that new building?

No, STEM classes.

I think it's more sciences.

Most of that building is meant to be biology and Kim, from what I remember.

Yeah. Maybe I'm just biased here, but, like, why am I having my history classes in the nuclear building and theater building in other various spaces on campus. Why?

I feel like the mentality is like all the STEM based classes, they probably need, they need better equipment to actually run their stuff probably. And they're just assuming like, oh well, all you need to do in this room is lecture. We don't need to update it, sit in the chairs that are there and stuff.

So you also have to factor in though that an entire building's worth of classes had to get moved because of choices.

Are we allowed to talk about that here?

Go for it happened.

Are we allowed to go for it? Yeah, it's a thing that happened.

It was a thing that happened. Very recent news, NC State is getting sued by four different people from Pohol and exposure to asbestos, which can cause cancer, like symptoms or cancer itself. So I don't know if you guys ever got displaced during pohol, but I actually had a class in there my freshman year. I'm fine.

You're okay?

Yeah, I did too, actually, I'm fine.

Yeah, see, I had two my freshman year, but no one is talking about it. And the only thing that you'll see people covering, it's a lot of fear mongering things. And that's like what I try not to cover here at like, you know, NC State, like making people scared about what people don't really talk about. But I mean, why aren't we addressing that? Why are we just building a new building and slapping the face on all these problems on campus that genuine. Not just me because I'm a yapper, but other students, part of different communities have come to me and complained about or asked if we could write a story on. Why are we not accessing those? Why are we just building new buildings and taking away traditions and making everything sad?

Yup, construction, there we go.

So tired of it.

All right, well, there you go. That's Campus Happenings. Thanks for listening, guys. Thanks for checking out our podcast, Listen bi weekly every Friday morning should say. And thanks for listening. Have a good two weeks. Peace.
