All right, team. First time I've ever done a podcast and a chapel. I'm not trying to be disrespectful or anything.

My wife is actually in the hospital. Everything's great. She had a surgery yesterday. But that's why I'm not at the game.

And trying to find a place where I could do this is really complicated and so here we go.

Just got done watching the game and I got a bunch of notes.

It's weird when you're not there and I'm not in my element.

You actually think a different way.

I can't explain it.

But as you all watch, Iowa State

snapped out of its funk, specifically in the second half, you know, trailing there at halftime,

and they outscored Arizona State 49 to 24. So a lot to be thankful for there. If you're

an Iowa State fan going to Kansas City next week.

I'm just going to go through my list.

The guys on After Dark and Jake, I'm assuming, is doing postgame today.

Thanks to my staff, they've been phenomenal the last couple of weeks as I've been kind of scrambling.

I'm not going to do a lot on today's game,

but this is going to be a bigger picture type of thoughts

that I want to give as we head to the postseason

because I don't think that I'll probably be on shows here

for a couple of days.

So here we are.

We're just going to do it right here.

You know, the first, you get back to your identity is what I liked about today.
