BULLDOGS

It is official. Billy Grier is the head basketball coach at the University of San Diego.

If you want to hear what he had to say – and count how many times he referred to Gonzaga as “we” – you can do it by clicking this link. It’s the audio file of Grier’s introductory press conference supplied by the USD sports information office. The file is about 30 minutes long, so it might take a while to load.

There is only one time when Grier’s voice is raised a little and that’s when he’s asked a question about GU’s graduation rates and admission standards.

As you listen to this, it is obvious the microphone was near Grier, so the questions can be faint, but I left them in to give context to the answers.
