You know, Big Cat, it'd be like you having a son that he's Wisconsin born and bred, brainwashed, and all of a sudden he goes to Michigan.

You know, it is quite a thrill. Obviously, we're beyond ecstatic for him. I went to senior day for my other son who had a heart situation. He was part of... the senior class of the Ohio State players. So it was a family-only event this past Sunday. And I went in there really nervous to wonder how the Ohio State coaches, because none of them texted me, hey, congratulations on Chase.

I didn't hear anything from anybody. So I was a little bit, should I go? Should I not go? And I went because I needed to be there for my other son. It was a very cool event, by the way. Each position coach would have his guys come up, say something about each guy. And then that guy had to grab the mic and speak in front of all of his teammates and

close to the media and the fans and uh it was very emotional to watch some of these guys Trevion Henderson Emeka buka like like they've been through some stuff you know not only lost it to Michigan but just personal stuff so it was very heartfelt uh day to be there to watch that but uh you know I talked to Chip Kelly afterwards talked to Ryan Day afterwards nobody said anything it was like

Yeah, I was like, okay. I'll see you next week, Tennessee. Looking forward to it. I'll call you this week. It was just kind of like business mode. That's good by me.

Well, again, just going back to that senior day, just behind closed doors, just with the players, it was interesting to be there. Because if you go by the outside world, the feeling of Ohio State fans, they're very dejected by the Michigan game. And nobody's seen really Ohio State since the fight at the end of the game. Um, and everyone just kind of left the stadium.

I think that day I wasn't there, but just talking to my son and a lot of friends who went to that game, like, holy shit, what just happened? How did this happen again? Kind of, kind of feeling. And now, you know, Michigan's, uh, they're going to play in a bowl game and Ohio state's going to a I think there's the fodder that's out there on social media. Screw Ryan Day. Screw, you know, the worst.

I've heard people say everything. I hope they lose the first game and he's fired. I mean, just bizarre set of circumstances for a team that's, as you said, is one of the most talented, is in the playoff hosting a playoff game. And you've got that kind of noise by a fraction of your of your fan base. So I think the reality is what matters most is the players seem to be super engaged.
