I'm Stuart Mandel, joined, as always, by Bruce Feldman on another lovely Monday morning.

And Bruce, how was Austin this weekend?

It was pretty fantastic, Stu.

I got to admit, it was the most amped up I've ever seen in DKR Stadium.

You know, I've been going there for two decades.

And obviously, I wasn't at the USC game the week before.

But just the vibe around it was great was great i thought that texas really handled the

situation well and uh also by the way for all the people who gave me a hard time about turkey burgers

our pregame meal for fox sports we got a whole bunch of franklin barbecue and i have to admit

it exceeded the hype i I'm not even a

beef rib guy and I like pork ribs, but I thought the beef ribs were unreal. It's just,

the only thing I worried about was eating a ton of food and then going down on the field

for six hours and it being humid. Thankfully, the barbecue gods held off the humidity,

and I didn't have like the meat sweats out there.

Our friend Andy Staples wrote a pretty interesting story Sunday

about what you just, kind of what you just mentioned.
