Yeah, I watched, uh, quite a bit of that and it looked a lot like the scene from last year when in September, when it was the biggest party in, uh, in the country and just, you know, riveting and fun and a little crazy.

It was great.

And that's, you know, to see a place that had been dormant for decades just spring to life.

That's, that's Coach Prime, but that's also winning and they've done that this year now.

10 for 10 outscoring their opponents in the second half, she started off very poorly.

They fell behind seven, nothing and he just want their offense really wasn't very good in the first half, but this is not a team that any longer is dependent on outscoring people or just having one way to score.

They had a punt return touchdown.

That was huge.

They forced turnovers, that was huge.

It's, uh, been pretty phenomenal and, uh, I'm almost certain it feels like to me guys that Travis Hunter locked up the, the Heisman, you know, yesterday, and I'm guessing his appearance in the net in the big 12 championship game will only help.

Although I think the votes are due even before that, right before that game.

No, we get to vote after, after the game.

Now, I just need to see another 127 snaps out of the guy to see whether there's a good football.

Listen, I think it was week two or three that I said Betham.
