A couple of the real quick things.
Hoppy KerchevalHOST
Bridge Day Saturday, people should be aware of the traffic.
Hoppy KerchevalHOST
By the way, it's 876 feet.

Excuse me? It's 876 feet from the bridge to the bottom.
Heather JonesGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Todd BrandtHOST
It's called Bridge Day.

NickPANELIST
[laughs]
Todd BrandtHOST
... gather at Bridge Day.
Mike TylerHOST
What day is that, Todd?
Todd BrandtHOST
That would be the day I'm there.
Justin WalkerHOST
I'm not going to tell you how to be a fan, but I will be here next week watching again as Cincinnati comes to town.
Justin WalkerHOST
If you are planning to go to the game, though, I do want to make sure you are aware it is Bridge Day next week.
Justin WalkerHOST
So if you are coming from the southern part of the state, if you're south of Summersville, Route 119 will be blocked, which means what? You're going to have to go through Charleston to get to Morgantown, which will add an hour to your trip.
Justin WalkerHOST
So be prepared for that.
Justin WalkerHOST
If you're going to Morgantown next weekend from the southern part of the state.
Justin WalkerHOST
Bridge Day, for those who don't know, if you're not from around here or not from the state, it's one day a year where they do they get together at the New River Gorge Bridge and they do base jumping.
Justin WalkerHOST
They do skydiving, whatever you want to call it, off of that bridge.
Justin WalkerHOST
So it's a big event.
Larry DawsonGUEST
So for the leaf peepers, if you're going to do anything to go look, I would say this weekend.
Larry DawsonGUEST
