From the Clark Ford studio in Oxford, Mississippi, MBW Digital proudly presents the Oxford Exxon podcast.

I'd say thanks for tuning in, but why am I going to give you a round of applause for something

you're supposed to do, to be frank?

And now, here are your hosts, Chase Palm.

That broadcast school is really paid off.

And Neil McCrady.

I deserve to be on team.

Thanks, Shepard.

Now joining us on the Campbell Clinic hotline, also in your YouTube screen right now. Good to see you, Bud,

Wake Forest stuff behind you. I feel like last time we talked, you had Tulane stuff behind you.

Ole Miss alum, now running sports properties for Wake Forest with Learfield.

A lot of stuff to get to, but obviously when we saw the schedule come out, you knew you're at Wake Forest, saw Ole Miss coming to Winston-Salem here for this 2024 season.

in Winston-Salem.

And I think anyone visiting from out of town, whether they live in North Carolina

and they're in Ole Miss alum or they're coming to our state for the first time,

they're going to be really pleasantly surprised with their experience here. So excited to have that happen. Between your other employments, your educations, you've been in a lot of really good game day environments. You've been at places that really cared about sports and about football. What has surprised you in a good way about the Wake game day? I mean, you get to Wake Forest and what's it sort of been like just getting ingrained in their culture up there?

Yeah, it's got its own experience.

The first thing that sticks out to me from a football perspective is just the ease of going to the game.

So I think a lot of the fans coming in will enjoy the fact that we're three miles north of
