Hey, hey, hey, uh,

uh, hey, hey, hey, uh,

hey, uh,

uh, welcome in the latest episode of that SEC podcast, I'm your host Michael Bratton and that is none other that

Stephen Lassen senior editor over at Athlog Sports that's your cue that it's an

SEC after dark.

Stephen, it's been too long man, how you been?

Mike, I am doing great.

It is so good to be talking with you and all the cousins tonight.

I missed all you guys last week I did have one of those

realizations and I wrote down like SEC after dark and realized it like the

acronym for it is sad there's there's no sadness here when we're doing SEC after dark. By the way, you know, I also just

realized that one month from now, when we wake up, it will be time for college football week zero Florida state and Georgia tech kick things off over in Ireland August 24 so even more reason to get excited about this season. It's not that far away.

Oh man I didn't even realize Stephen and just one month away and I forgot to even ask you but prior to

we starting this but have you got your hands on the video game yet?

Shame on me. I haven't yet. Coming soon though. How about you? Did you have

a chance to break it in yet?

I was the best player in the world when that game came out or at least of the my friend's circle,

certainly, you know, the old game, but I'm the the worst damn player I think that's ever played that game I'm so

awful at it it's it's it's beyond sad how bad I am both the cousins are killing me on an annual basis as we play so I personally I hate the game but maybe that's because I can't move the ball I can't stop the ball and yeah I'm just pathetic.

Sounds like you're the Vanderbilt of

in Seattle.
