And I love watching these 61 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.319 high school kids. They're they're finding themselves. They're learning what 62 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.120 it means to work together as a team, how to 63 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.599 push yourself, how to make friends, how to talk to 64 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.240 adults and aren't your parents all those things that you 65 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.199 learn fourteen, eighteen years old in high school.

We went tomorrow, 274 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:20.919 I think we're going on. I think we're gonna win out. 275 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.600 That's what they're gonna talk about because and realistically, we've 276 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.879 been talking about this all year one. Right, if they 277 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.559 can get past the Kansas State game, the the Utah 278 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.440 game and whatever whatever else was the big game, they're 279 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.240 gonna be great because the back half of the season 280 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:42.399 is gonna be winnable, very winnable, easily to win. And 281 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:43.799 then you get what you get and then you know 282 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:45.600 you win. Are you ever gonna win a game? 283 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:47.000 Yeah? Exactly. 284 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.200 And you talk about Camp State and that's kind of 285 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:52.559 the thread that runs through it. West Virginia lost to 286 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.039 Case State, a couple of weeks ago, I think they 287 00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:58.840 lost forty five to eighteen. So last week we played Colorado, 288 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:00.879 they had barely lost a case. See we lost the case. 289 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.799 So Case State's kind of this benchmark. We'll see what 290 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:06.840 happens with that with that case State. But I love 291 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:10.840 that West Virginia's coming new uh, new fans, new colors. 292 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:11.799 New Yeah, excitement. 293 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:15.200 Tim. If two people from West Virginia come to this game, 294 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:16.200 I'll be shocked. 295 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:17.360 I'm ready to go mountain theirs. 296 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:17.759 Let's go. 297 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.799 They're here, here, they're here. I worked a shifted the 298 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.799 wreck today. Had a bunch of West Virginia families rolled in. 299 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:25.600 Well because they mustn't want to get out of that place. 300 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:26.600 They were excited. 301 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.039 They were excited. They said, the beautiful weather. I said, where. 302 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:34.200 It's only one hundred ninety seven degrees. But yeah, I 303 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.440 get it. You're excited.

Yeah. 306 00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:42.799 I love that for the fans taking us home. 307 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:44.879 Yeah, I love that for the fans. It's you know, 308 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.440 it's it's starting. I wasn't that. I know, it was disappointing. 309 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.120 From them when the PAC twelve split up. In that 310 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.840 there's lots of oh yeah, but I love this, you know, 311 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.720 fresh new faces, it's fresh, it's exciting. 312 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:56.440 Yeah. 313 00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:58.840 Okay, yeah, let's let's start with this quick or end 314 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:00.799 with this. In the first segment, we're going to talk 315 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:02.519 a lot about the Arizona Bowl. They had a big 316 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.399 function yesterday, I think it was La Paloma talking about 317 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:08.960 their bowl game here in about two months. So we'll 318 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.559 talk to Eric Rhodes about that and all the excitement 319 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:13.919 going on. I guess the ticket sales are going well. 320 00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:17.960 And then at four fifteen, be enlightened by the candidness 321 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:21.279 and humor of David Adams. I don't even know how 322 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.279 else to describe what he says. He's usually my guy 323 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.720 on the eighteen on Saturdays, so he'll be back today 324 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:33.480 and we'll see what he thinks. He's really real, real, 325 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.120 realistic of what's going on, but he's still trying to 326 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.600 be as positive as you can be, knowing that it's 327 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:41.559 very difficult to be positive. 328 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:43.879 I agree. We talked about this too. 329 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.080 Is you know, we're way past college agent, so you're 330 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.200 still talking about you know, in eighteen, nineteen, twenty two 331 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.879 year old kids, and so we can look at it 332 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:55.320 critically in that way, but we need to understand that 333 00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:56.080 still kids. 334 00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:59.519 I love David's take.
