Oh yeah. Welcome to the Audible presented by Trader Joe's. I'm Stuart Mandel back from vacation joined by Bruce Feldman.

I enjoy it feels like you've been away for a long time.

It doesn't feel that way to me.

I was gone for a grand total of six days to Mexico

and had a really long travel day back

and now it's been, let's see, today is Tuesday,

so I've been back here for, yeah, another six days.

So, but I did just miss being able to be on the podcast that you have with

Ted Miller and Jim Donnan I texted Ted and said it was it was great to hear his voice and a little

bit surreal that it was coming on my own podcast but I hope people enjoyed

that interview. It was fun to catch up with Ted. He and I've had some conversations

offline but just having back on the podcast and it was nice to get some feedback also.

You know, both about Ted and Jim Donnan and his story about going to see what turned out to be

Bill Snyder, you know, when he went down to way back in North Texas days.

So his perspective was unique, and I was at the combine the last few days.

And invariably, when you're around other media people you talk about the business and so we

talked a little bit about some of the comments and some of the things that would

involve Ted and his departure so if you haven't listened to that addition of the

audible please do so so

so stew it's good to have you back we're gonna get into our dueling

columns on our top 25 coaches lists in a bit.

Did you watch much of the combine on TV?
