Cash the Ticket. It's presented by Fanduel.

All right, Mike, you got the bet of the millennium.

I mean, I overstated it, but I just wanted to tell you, I was combing the card.

Obviously, we'll get our college football playoff and early bowl game stuff and NFL.

I will tell you, I am terrified of bowl season.

Not the playoffs, the bowls.

I mean, the amount of kids simply hitting the portal, much less opting out, oh my.

It is, when you start to look at the bowl games, I think the biggest thing you got to do is, okay, first of all, first things first, forget about the teams, forget about strength and weaknesses, forget about where the game's being played. A,

good grip on. That's just going to be the way we navigate. You look at some of the spreads.

I mean, Jim, it's truly remarkable. And I think it's certainly symptomatic of the portal era, you know, transfers, et cetera.

When you get into this, I mean, spreads under seven are rare.
