Exactly right. They teach us how to keep on fighting no matter what the score is. They do. They teach us to. And this was one of the things when playing the academies and we were bigger at the time when I was at Notre Dame. I think Mike, you know, probably felt the same way as we were bigger. And as the game went on, we managed to wear him down a little bit.

But man, I'll tell you, from the first kickoff to the final whistle, you better be ready for a fight. Because there's no quitting these guys. They're not giving up. They're going to keep on coming at you. And that's all part of the military. And that's what's so exciting for me, being part of the Army-Navy game. If Army was in the playoffs, would they still play the Army-Navy game?

This to me is a game that has to continue. I don't know what would happen if Army was in the playoffs. And, you know, we don't have to worry about that right now. But I mean, the USAA does such a tremendous job with our game here, the Army-Navy game. I'm excited. I've never been to one.

And I'm looking so forward to the opportunity to be able to be there, to the pageantry, to see everybody in uniform, to watch these two teams play, 8-3 and 11-1. This is going to be different than, I think, Army-Navy games before where basically they ran the ball a lot. Army wants to control the game. Navy wants to put points up through the air a little bit more.

So there's so many wonderful things that are going on with it. And it's really a chance for the country to come together. It's the only game of the weekend. And I think it should remain that way. And that's what makes it special. And these are young men and women that are leaders. Here's the other thing, too, is, you know, people come up to us as athletes all the time and they call us heroes.

We're not heroes. We're just and appreciate it. Believe me. But, you know, we're just somebody God gave a gift to the ability to run, jump, throw, whatever it might be. And from my perspective, those young men and women that are playing in this game and at the academies and those young men and women that are in uniform around the world, those that put that uniform on are out there defending us.

And any chance you get to be able to say thank you to someone in a uniform, let them know how much you appreciate them. So to me, they're the real heroes because if we go to work and play ball, no matter what it is, you come home. When they go out and do their job, there's no guarantee. And that's why they should be celebrated and appreciated.

And it's an honor to be a part of this particular game.

Yeah, we are. What they're doing is they're retrofitted vehicles. It's going to take place 11 o'clock at the National Mall on Friday, tomorrow. And we're basically giving away vehicles, one to Matthew Walker with the Navy. and Caleb Dooley, who's with the Army National Guard. And they're going to be receiving these vehicles. And so much work has gone into it.

So many people have contributed to it. Like I say, USAA is the driving sponsor for this. And it's special to be able to provide someone wheels to be able to do the things that they need to do. Instead of having to figure out a way to get to work, they'll have the opportunity to get in their car and be able to drive.
