Next broadcast will feature a NASA astronaut. Posts either today or tomorrow. Very entertaining

Absolutely outstanding! Alex Groth and Dan Hawkins. We are so lucky to have these guys. Keep this coming!

boy do I feel uneducated about WW2 after listening to him! Inspired me to get a video course on the war.

Quite simply GREAT! Who has a coach like this anywhere? Keep them coming!

you don’t think the other Big Sky coaches are podcasting with aeronautical engineering professors? Love the mutual respect there.

Yes. And what is not emphasized here is that Hawk actually brings these great people to speak to his players. The experience of being persecuted and/or rejected is a very real fact of life to many students and athletes. To see these examples of people who have overcome these odds is just inspirational. Great job Hawk.

Love these interviews. Great people who contribute to society and "get" what Aggie Pride is all about. I don't understand how the university community is full of these quality individuals while Mrak Hall has more corrupt oligarchs than a Soviet garden party. Polar extremes for sure.

An astronaut...matter of factly states he was in the Band-Uh!
I haven't met Dr. Robinson, but he'd be cool to talk to.

Clint Hurdle, man, what an interview. Guy has done a lot.

Here is something to hold us over until the next uncommon engineering is posted (usually midday Friday); Hawk on a show out of Shreveport,LA

Great. Flexibility.

Episode 5 with lead guitarist from Firefall, 70s-80s yacht rock staples. Another fun podcast

Em. Prof Groth has a very interesting story to tell. My favorite line “luck has a lot to do with success - you can be very smart and without some luck fail, or be very vacuous and succeed with a lot of luck.” Have watched several episodes of greatest events of WW2 in color (Netflix). Some excellent footage.

LOL. Peter principle.

I’ll have to check that series out.

Catching up with Khari Jones, former Ag great and current Montreal Aloutte coach.

Sticking close to home with Jen Gross. Lots of mutual respect.

Hoping Finn adds the direct link!

Well folks, that just made my day. Makes you very proud to be an Aggie.

I agree. Quite a life’s journey.

Did Coach Sochor ever write much about his philosophy of coaching? I wish he had written a book. Amazing the positive impact he had on so so many people. The man was a saint!

I don’t know of any type of book. If you listened to the episode with Jenn Gross, you’ll hear the impact he had on her coaching career. I had forgotten she spoke at his memorial.

I did hear reference to the “Second Mountain” Concept by both Hawk and Rolf. There is a book out there by David Brooks, a conservative commentator for the NYT, of that same name and concept. In life the first mountain you climb is about the ego. Building your own ego As high as it will go. When that doesn’t work (and it is a rare person who achieves that fulfillment), comes the valley before the Second Mountain. In this valley we contemplate how we should transition from the selfish individualism of our past to focus on giving to the community. Selfish versus selfless. Then we try to climb that mountain. Again, few of us complete that climb but trying is the real purpose of the “journey of life” as both Hawk and Rolf repeatedLy mentioned. It’s not the end, it is how you conduct your journey that truly counts in life. I think that Pastor in SoCal who wrote “The Purpose Driven Life” had the same approach. I think he was Obamas favorite Pastor.
Just here with a sick dog. Staying home in my mask. Rolf made my day. Thank you Rolf. Good to be an Ag.

Wonderful post and well said, 69aggie.

PapaFinn sent Rolf's interview to his buddy's son. An athletic 6'7" 290 lb slated to play OT at EWU. I wonder if he'll watch it. Ha
