Tennessee Tech University

Courtney went to Morehead State.

I went to Tennessee Tech, which I will talk about that disaster that happened yesterday here shortly.

But first and foremost, I will say this.

So like I said, if you knew here, before we get to talking about the season, before we get to talking about the last few days, we're going to start with Notre Dame and work our way into yesterday.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank the Tennessee Tech campus tour.

The coaches interview.

rest.

But Tennessee Tech, I'm going to go ahead and tell y'all this right now.

I feel like if that game is at least close against Tennessee Tech, Coach Libby, you might as well go ahead and pack your bags, man, because come on, bro.

Like, hey, look, we're at SEC school.

We went from the top to the bottom in a matter of a month, which is crazy.

But how about we go ahead and talk about it, bro? You know, before we end

each episode, we talk about do we believe.

So, do I believe that Mississippi State will get an upset this season? So, because if we're being honest, besides this Tennessee Tech game, we are underdogs in the next three or four matchups.

This willingness, I would say, to promote nuclear energy in Oak Ridge, but also the nuclear culture, as I say, from the local community and the very strong support that we got from the community, but also the education program, because Mike McGill, what he presented at that time was really remarkable.

I mean, to see that the state of Tennessee, with a county, with a city, has an education program that involves not only the universities, University of Tennessee, of course, but also Tennessee Tech, but also the local community colleges, the TCATs, and even the High School of Oak Ridge.

And as you know, workforce is very key for our project to be successful.

And seeing that, feeling that, I said, Oak Ridge is our site number one.

You mentioned some partnerships that Orano has to bolster your workforce, but talk more about Orano's approach to workforce development.

So our approach, we really want is to work with universities, but also with the community colleges and the TCAS, but also even with high school.

And so we, of course, we met with University of Tennessee, Tennessee Tech.

I met with Ronset Community College several times.

And we're also in talks with our state.

or Tech University or Tennessee Tech or sorry, Chattanooga Tech to talk about even the two year degree, you know, so some people can go on and get more graduate type programs or if they want to be a technician style in the quantum realm, we want to be able to think about that and offer that opportunity when that's more available.

Energy innovation as a means to economic development and job creation.

EPB living out the Tennessee Advanced Energy Business Council's mission.

South Dakota, they dropped two spots after losing to SDSU.

Tennessee Tech re-enters the top ten.

They're up to number nine.

Illinois State remains idle at number ten.

77-67 against number 14 Miami last night, so you got a little bit of a top 15 matchup there.

Uh, Hubbard scored 25, I think, for State, who scored over 100 against Tennessee Tech.

And then in Oklahoma, in Norman, East Texas A&M, which you usually don't want to lose to a conference opponent satellite campus.

That's not good.

Actually, it was a pretty competitive game.

Mississippi State down Tennessee Tech 106-88.

As we mentioned, the shocker, East Texas A&M, formerly Texas A&M Commerce, beat Oklahoma 68-64 in Norman, the second largest upset in the last 30 years based on the point spread.

Ole Miss over Alcorn State 99-58.

Ex-PFW coach wins in debut with Butler.

Fort Wayne native and former Purdue Fort Wayne coach Maria Marchesano got off to a strong start in her new role leading Butler, guiding her alma mater to a 108-71 victory over Tennessee Tech in her debut Monday.

The Bulldogs, who are 1-0, led 31-14 at the end of the first quarter and were not challenged down the stretch in front of the 4,313 at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Bowling Green transfer Taya Ellis led the Bulldogs with 19 points and eight rebounds off the bench in 16 minutes.
