What were your kind of thoughts about the Ohio of it all? Obviously not the start anybody wanted, but were you able to kind of zoom out and say, hey, this is how the overall game went, not just the early struggles?

Yeah, honestly, going into last week's game, I know everyone had these big score predictions, but I felt like we heard this overarching message from Nebraska, from what if you've watched Ohio in recent years, they're a well-coached program.

They're a tough program.

They're not going to come into a stadium like this and be too freaked out by the environment.

And so I wasn't too surprised to see them have kind of a strong showing in the beginning.

By the time I got to the press box, that whole play had happened.

So I was like, oh, this is awesome.

I do wonder if there's going to be a lot more sort of run first and establish the pass off of that the way we saw in the second half as opposed to sort of the inverse of that in the first half.

which is

just comical to me to look back on.

And we're having this conversation right now.

And it's just funny that all the things that I've gone through or the things I go through work related now that I don't think I would have been strong enough to endure a year ago.

Yeah.

And to think that I went through college and I was in a really great headspace and just like very confident, I think, because I was living on my own and you're away from home for the first time.

And when you figure that out and you have that alone time, you become, I just think, a much stronger individual and you are who you are.

When

Sure.

And that year we were supposed to be able to work the College World Series, but because of COVID, they only allowed, like, a couple media members per team.

And so I just wanted to go enjoy the College World Series, and I was like, "I have no interest in swimming.

I don't care," whatever.

That has single-handedly become one of my favorite events that I've ever been a part of because of the presentation and the way that you almost feel like you're at the Olympics.

Like, everyone that qualified, like-

Oh, yeah

...

The renovations are incredible.

The renovations are incredible.

There's options for everyone what, no matter what ticket you bought.

They have an awesome little walk-up window now, a part of the clubhouse that's available to everyone where you can get ...

They have, like, canned cocktails.

It's really cool.

I haven't seen those yet.

Yeah.
