Valley City State University big education with a small town feel

The Burning Heart from Rocky.

I love it.

I love it, Eric Johnson.

Thank you.

Yeah, so my name is Joe Deutsch.

I'm filling in today on Afternoons Live for Tyler Axness, and as I stated before, I'm joined by my producer, Eric Johnson, and we're back, and I am excited to have another guest come in here.

I'll drop full disclosure right away out of the chute.

I'm a Valley City State University alumni.

Went there in the 90s to... to become a physical education teacher and to wrestle.

And I've been a part of the university ever since then.

And my son Jake is a fifth-year senior playing football at Valley City State right now.

I get to serve on the foundation board.

And the most exciting part about it is I am joined right now by the executive director of the foundation at Valley City State, Corey Anderson.

Corey, how are we doing today?

Hey, we are doing awesome.

It is a privilege for me to be able to be with you today, Joe.

Yeah, well, thank you.
